Love that movie. But then, I love Natalie, so it's kind of a given.
If you're looking at romancey sappy chick flick type stuff, The Choice was good (I thought).

As others have said, this list could get huge. I'll pick a few of my favorites from different genres and try to not duplicate.
Baseball: Bull Durham For Love of the Game Mr. 3000
Drama: Casablanca A River Runs Through It Legends of the Fall (may push the boundaries of the criteria)
Suspense: Rising Sun
Comedy: Animal House Blues Brothers Ghost Busters (original) Semi-Tough
Horror: The Grudge The Changeling (1980)

In addition to those already listed, how about "Heaven Can Wait".
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

How about Casablanca
I also like Mary Poppins - the original, not the remake

Any of the old WC Fields or Stan & Ollie. Love the dance scene from Way Out West.

I can't believe I forgot to mention that one.
It's my #1 favorite film.

I like quiet movies as well.
The Day of the Jackal (1973). Fantastic movie. Holds up well over time. It's a very quiet film but you'll be on the edge of your seat the whole time.

I forgot about Sideways. I've been enjoying Killing Eve, but all through it I thought just give Sandra a motorcycle helmet and that assassin is toast.
