Since someone already said The Princess Bride...
Penguins of Madagascar, The Movie
It is the funniest film I have ever seen. Starring John Malkovich as the villain and Benedict Cumberbatch as the other villain.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
If they can't vibe with that I don't want them ever coming over again
21 Jump Street. Lighthearted, don't need to worry about how deep it is or not, but it's well-written, well-executed comedy, and I've already seen it a couple times and know that's not just nostalgia talking.
I think a general group of adults would get a kick out of it.

Princess Bride
Really the platonic ideal of a standalone adventure movie
Dredd
Everyone loves ultra-violence, right?
Well growing up in Utah there's a lot of people that would not tolerate anything. Gotos are Princess Bride, Sandlot, most Disney movies.
If kids are around, probably Howlβs Moving Castle or another Studio Ghibli movie.
If I am gearing for adults, a comedy like Chef where the premise is lighthearted but not a total snooze fest.

Something that everyone will love, like The Room or maybe Samurai Cop or maybe even Hard Ticket to Hawaii.
Depending on the group, sometimes old Jet Li flicks will work, too, like The New Legend of Shaolin / Legend of the Red Dragon which has some great baby-kung-fu.
Don't neglect Miami Connection.

The Princess Bride
If you have seen it. You are happy to watch again. If you haven't, you will love it.
The fire swamp is a little intense for the little ones, but for teens and up it's a great choice.

Is there kissing?
Some day you may not mind so much.
It's got romance, action, comedy, fantasy, safe for kids and families... Covers most groups
Recently had a movie night where we watched Oscar. Only one person (the person that wanted to watch it) had seen it before, but it was their birthday, so we all sat down to watch. It is a fantastic comedy of errors movie with Sylvester Stallone. None of us could believe that we had never even heard of it before, because we all loved it so much, and laughed so frequently. Fantastic movie night movie. I can't recommend it enough.
I watched that when it was released, and I can't remember that much about it. But I do remember everyone in the theater just laughing our asses off. For some reason I always kind of put in the same basket as Men at Work.
