Mrs Doubtfire is a classic that's still funny today

Lord of The Rings

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.

Titan AE, Treasure Planet, Terminator, LA Confidential, El Dorado

Titan AE is an interesting choice for the prompt because the movie flopped specifically because no one vibed with it. Don Bluth's art style is often taken as shorthand for "this is for kids" but the movie really isn't; like one character snaps another one's neck on screen. So no one knew what to do with it and defaulted to "not seeing it."

Anything by Aki Olavi Kaurismäki. If someone can't appreciate masterpieces of Finnish cinema, I'll be happy to show them the door.

Mulholland Drive. Not only is it the best movie ever made, it also has everything: love, romance, crime, horror, humor, action, mystery, ...

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

Princess Bride
Really the platonic ideal of a standalone adventure movie
