There's lots of movies I like and for sure I've forgotten to mention some, but this is what I can come up for now:

Shawshank Redemption
Million Dollar Baby
Gran Torino
The Karate Kid
Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
Schlinder's List
Freaky Friday

The genry really varies as you see :) I'm see to like a wide variety of movies. One movie currently tops my list of personal favourites and I watched it only recently. It really touched me to the heart: Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211915/

**no spoilers, just my summary of Amelie**
Amelie is about a 23-year old girl from Montmartre, Paris who got homeschooled by her father and lost her mother at a very young age. She grew up lonely and as a young girl she has developed a very active imagination to combat her feelings of loneliness. She works as a waitress in a local cafe and she eventually decides to become a do-gooder and help other people in their lives. In devoting her life to helping out others she meets lots of people and eventually finds happiness herself.

The plot, the music, the actors and everything about the movie is wonderful and has a scent of magic, yet everything displayed in the movie is so ordinary and easy to relate to. Amelie contains so many details, so I'm almost sure to spot some new details when watching it for a second time. The movie is so powerful it makes you appreciate the life's simple pleasures and it even makes you want to go to Paris yourself! (I've been in Paris many years ago).

I can recommend the movie to everyone :)

I'm sure I'm forgetting some amazing ones but Avatar pops into my mind first. It was just so beautiful and everything. I'm also a sucker for teen movies like Mean Girls and Clueless. I also loved a movie I watched recently, called Easy A. :)
