Here's my like button being pushed.
It's what I think this day or that.
It's what I remember in too many decades watching movies.

Of course along with the original War of the Worlds, not the one with tom cruise.

"Klaatu barada nikto"

Apocalypse Now

Ooo, forgot that one along with Platoon..the other VN ones like Full Metal Jacket-nope...

Every list I see I see movies I didn't mention that I really liked...
Seven
Shawshank Redemption
Intersteller..so many good ones..

1917 another one.
The Road(tough movie)..

4. Snatch
5. Seven

Austin Powers.
Yeah baby!
Plan to watch it twice.
The first time you see it. it will be the stupidest thing you've ever seen.
The second time, at least for me I started to "get it." It's hilarious.

I guess I’m a Coen Bros. Fan

Big Lebowski
O Brother Where Art Thou - while not a musical, per se, I really like how it weaves the soundtrack into the narrative.
Raising Arizona

Saving Private Ryan is good, but I like Band of Bros better if we can consider that really long movie.

Watching with the kids - Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Good story and lots of bits to keep the grown ups entertained.

Goodfellas

I've picked up some director names here that I will at least check out.
