It's an odd choice but Naked Lunch. Strange adaptation of a strange book. It gives everybody something to talk about.

My partner is still processing that film eight years later. She thinks sheβll be able to watch it again in another couple of years. I think Iβll keep her away from the book, whatever happens.

Mrs Doubtfire is a classic that's still funny today
Since no one has said it yet, original Ghostbusters.
Any Gaspar Noe movie will do just fine.
Duck Soup, a comedy from about 100 years ago about a selfish clown who fails upward to political leader and ruins the country.

Raiders of The Lost Ark.
It's a timelessly classic action/adventure movie that anyone can enjoy. It has memorable characters, great set pieces, an interesting story, an incredible score, and Harrison Ford.
I'm surprised I scrolled a decent way through the list and hadn't seen it posted yet.
Haha, it boils down to a few choices for me, including a few non movie series.
My immediate answer: Violent Night. It's such a good, weird Christmas movie with Santa being a badass, an actual engaging story, tons of gore and tons of humor. You can't go wrong with David Harbour either. In my opinion, it has a lot going for it that makes it worthy both in and out of seasonal viewing.

If we COULD choose non movies, just as added fluff to my post, I'd choose either Fallout or Impractical Jokers. A second choice for me would be The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's quick, simple, stylish and a fun watch.
Speak no evil, the original. Perfect family movie :p
Any of Simon Pegg's movies (the trilogy of sorts).
Was going to say Hot Fuzz. You can watch it multiple times and it is still funny.
I pick a random movie because I'll never satisfy everyone.
Minor stipulation, it would be from my personal collection of movies, which I know I like.
