Very difficult. Here are some that come to mind not in any particular order. Casablanca, Forrest Gump, North by Northwest, Singing in the Rain, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, Gone With the Wind, Doctor Zhivago, American Graffiti, Patton, Sean Connery 007 movies. I could come up with others I like just as well, but these are some.

Has Citizen Kane been mentioned yet? Shocked if not....
Casablanca
The Graduate
Moonstruck
Raising Arizona (Best Cohen Bros. effort IMO)
Gold Rush (c'mon man, we aren't reaching back for enough...)
High Noon
Metropolis
(You can hate me for this one as a generally panned movie...)Terms of Endearment - faithful to the book and I dare you not to cry....
Breakfast At Tiffany's
Star Wars - not for the cinematography or acting or script or anything like that - but genre changing.... Today it is kinda painful to watch (SPX) TBH.
I could've switched Modern Times for Goldrush above. Honorable mention to Safety Last (Harold Lloyd).

Have seen probably 85% of movies listed. Noticed no one mentioned one of my favorites:
The Philadelphia Story-James Stewart, Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant...
I also like Contact
Blade runner
Gladiator
Casino Royale and Skyfall with D. Craig
Oh Brother where Art Thou
His Girl Friday - Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell
Casablanca
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Star Wars (first one)
The Thin Man (series)
The Little Shop Around the Corner-Jimmy Stewart
Harvey and Rear Window-Stewart
Man Who shot Liberty Valance-Stewart and John Wayne
That's 14+....
I've found I like good sci-fi, action-spy, and older movies. With the older movies, there were constraints on overt sex scenes, violence and profanity, so the writers tend to be more creative and the dialogue is so well done. Four above (Philadelphia Story, Casablanca, His Girl Friday, and the Thin Man) play on words between the characters-His Girl Friday is fast dialogue with many double entedres...you will miss some lines because you are laughing so hard.
Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a throwback to that old movie style-plus, as I understand it is a modern take on The Odyssey.
I've found a few of the older movies on YouTube.

Coen brothers movies are very hit or miss for me.
I loved Fargo and No Country For Old Men
I didn't care for O Brother Where Art Thou, and hated The Big Lebowski. I know Lebowski made some lists, but I couldn't even finish it. I went in expecting to really like it because I had a few friends gush over it.

But of course it can be mentioned again!
I don't think I've ever seen it. I should try.

My ten:
Star Wars-A New Hope
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Alien
Titanic
War of the Worlds-Gene Berry
The Worlds Fastest Indian
The Great Escape
Second Hand Lions
The Silence of the Lambs
The Sting
If these movies come on I will still watch them most ever time. Couple of more recent movies I really like are:
The Martian-Matt Damon
Passengers-Jennifer Lawrence
If you haven’t seen them they are worth a look.

That reminds me of another great film noir, "D.O.A." Aside from its excellent plot line, Neville Brand is really creepy as a psychopathic hit man.

My favorite Cooper western was (titled appropriately) "The Westerner," where he charms his way out a hanging by Judge Roy Bean (Walter Brennan).
Cooper films are easy to like -- "Sergeant York," "Pride of the Yankees," and my favorite, "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town." I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw Adam Sandler's travesty of a remake.
