My kids really like "old" movies. My son knows the Mel Brooks canon by heart, and also The Princess Bride, Butch Cassidy, The Sting, The Wild Bunch. He also really loves The Usual Suspects. Really loves it; I think he bought it.
My daughter loves all of the John Hughes movies. (They were watched so much in our house, my son had made plenty of time with girls because of his familiarity with them and willingness to discuss Pretty In Pink vs. 16 Candles.) Ferris Bueller is our favorite. She also loves Heathers, Reality Bites, Dazed & Confused. And Blue Velvet.
Both also like the Metropolitan - Barcelona - Last Days Of Disco trilogy. And M*A*S*H. And Animal House, of course.
Chinatown (really a perfect movie). Scenes From A Marriage. Blade Runner.
The Sean Connery Bond movies.
A few others that have been successful: Little Big Man. The Sand Pebbles. The Wild Bunch. Philadelphia Story. The Road Warrior. The Year Of Living Dangerously.

My son LOVES princess bride. (More than we do.) He's dressing up as Inigo Montoya for Halloween. Not a movie, but we just finished watching all the old MASH episodes and he loved them. I second the recommendation of old Alfred Hitchcock movies. He also loved Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven. He enjoyed American Graffiti. He's liked a bunch of old war movies too. All Quiet on the Western Front, Das Boot, Hunt for Red October - I'd have to check Netflix logs for the rest. He's watched a bunch without out with the download option.

My kids have seen pretty much everything on TCM. I agree that any Mel Brooks film - like Young Frankenstein or Blazing Saddles is generally silly but funny. Also -
- Clue
- Pink Panther Inspector Clouseau movies
- Speaking of Peter Sellers, I found a quirky movie of his funny - "The Party".
- MASH
- Catch 22
- Lord of the Flies (old original one - not funny but well done)
- The Sting
- The Hustler
- Bullitt
- Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid
- Deliverance
- French Connection
- Marathon Man (Dustin Hoffman)
- Bridge on the river Kwai
- The Dirty Dozen
- A Raisin in the Sun
- Lilies of the Field (and most movies starring Sydney Poitier)
- The Birds
- Rear Window (and anything by Alfred Hitchcock)
- DOA - Original one. (available online as public domain free at archive dot org - load it on an ipod/iphone or watch online)
- (Too many to list)
Okay - a lot of those may be more geared to those interested in adventure/thriller/comedy movies rather than tear-jerker dramas.

Both Ds loved Tootsie and Rain Man. Back to the Future is our family's favorite "trilogy" of all times, closely folowed by the Indiana Jones movies.

I also absolutely love Usual Suspects. It is the best of all the movies with a twist.
I remember watching it for the first time. When it was over I absolutely had to watch it again, right then.
I love watching it with friends who are seeing it for the first time. Their facial expressions towards the end are priceless.
Another very good movie with a twist is Pure Formality (Una pura formalita) by Giuseppe Tornatore. Starring Gerard Depardieu and Roman Polanski.

What a fun thread! I love movies. I don't have much to add to all the suggestions above. I like older movies myself. When I lived in NYC years ago I saw many Hitchcock movies at a festival. Lifeboat is a truly great film - if you haven't seen it do so.
When I was in HS, back when dinosaurs roamed, my mom told me of her own HS fave - Death takes a holiday. I saw it years ago and it did not really grab me.
