Oh what a great great choice @everydayupsanddowns .. "Dead Poets Society " is my list of the top ten favourite films of the nineteen eighties. It's a powerful and thought provoking drama with a brilliant central performance from Robin Williams as the teacher John Keating....and let's not forget one of his students is a young Matt Damon.
I think that's the only problem I have with "Pretty Woman " @CliffH . But having the likes of Richard Gere and the gorgeous Julia Roberts(and yes I did develop a major crush on her )in the film makes it such a fun film to watch....and I also notice what you've said about The "Silence of the Lambs" and "Manhunter"..Many critics believe Michael Manns "Manhunter" to be a superior film to "Silence of the Lambs" but that's not a fair comparison in my opinion. The late (god bless him) Jonathan Demme did a absolutely brilliant job with this film...but then he did have a simply terrific screenplay by the talented Ted Tally and a brilliant cast in the likes of Sir Anthony Hopkins,Jodie Foster,Scott Glenn and Ted Levine at his disposal.
I'd couldn't bring myself to watch a film with 'chicks' in the title.
Whenever my mother tells me that she doesn't think that I'll like a particular film because it's "a chick flick", I want to point out that actual chicks can be of either gender 🙄.I'd couldn't bring myself to watch a film with 'chicks' in the title.
Tricky but in no particular order
"Great Scott!"
Some excellent choices here @Ditto. I've got "The Burbs" on Arrow BLU-RAY and it's still a sidesplitting funny film and you're right about Tom Hanks coming over that stoop..he's so brilliant and funny in that film.I forgot Love Actually! I'm only reminded of films when I come on this thread. Also anything with Robin Williams, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis in it. Too many to mention. Usually all top notch.
There are films you can just watch any time, over and over, like Dead Again and Star Wars. Also The Burbs, laugh like a drain every time Tom Hanks comes down that stoop.

Also Oblivion, I watch it every time it's on, same with ... I want to say Attack Force Z but that's Mel Gibson, the zombies one, I absolutely luvs it. I'm so weird.
I like that and the 'Baby' one - but not the one set in Thailand.
I agree with you @CliffH. I like the original "Bridget Jones Diary" and "Bridget Jones Baby"but the one set in Thailand is where they were starting to run out of ideas..and thus the quality of the film was much lower.
'Yellow Submarine' is my favourite animated film. I was very disappointed with 'Bright Eyes' when I saw it at the cinema, after having really enjoyed Art Garfunkel's song.
