E.T.

I am absolutely charmed by the characters, the story, the optimism, and the connection to the unknown.

Clerks, because when I was 22 years before I ever saw that movie I to ran my convince store just like that. Also totally relate to the crap customers you deal with in that setting.

V for vendetta

I'm a fan of most of the movies listed, but didn't notice anyone mention one of my favorites, Moneyball. Don't let the baseball fool you. I don't even like baseball. To me it's not about baseball, it's about trying to succeed in a flawed system.

My most watched movies:
Jurassic Park
The Firm
The Verdict
Children of Men
Arrival
Lord of the Rings

But you know all of those already. Here's one you probably haven't seen: Love me some stage play adapted to movie. Doubt (2008)

If you like legal dramas, presumed innocent (the movie with harrison ford) is really good also.
