Movies Everybody Loves

There's good movies, bad movies, masterpieces, shitty movies and such. And then there's movies everybody loves.

My two pennies:

■ The Princess Bride. I think this is THE movie everyone loves. As somebody else here quoted recently: it does have something for everyone. Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles. And MLT.

■ Jaws and early Spielberg movies in general. Talking about 70s/80s greatest pop-corns: while Star Wars is very popular, there's quite a few people who don't like them. But it's hard to find somebody who doesn't like Jaws or the first Indie Jones.

■ Toy Story and early Pixar movies.

■ Similar to Pixar: classic Ghibli movies. Hard to find somebody who doesn't like Spirited Away. And I would add to that list non-Ghibli Makoko Shinkai's top movie Your Name (2016). He has become the most popular Anime director since Miyazaki.

■ ¿Amelie? It became extremely popular, but I knew a few people who found it too sugary.

I feel curious. Opinions? Agreement or Disagreement? What movies would you suggest?

Don't like The Princess Bride.

Like Jaws.

Don't like Toy Story, but I do like other Pixar movies.

Like some Ghibli.

Love Amelie.

I agree with Princess Bride, it's a perfect mix of adventure, romance, comedy...it's terrific
Early Spielberg and a lot of the Pixar stuff is generally liked or loved by most people

I'd put Rocky and Superman (78) on the list as well, these seem to have universal appeal, at least here in the U.S.

I either actively dislike or am uninvolved with every movie listed here. The OP needs to stay in the Politics cesspool.

"Movies Everybody Loves"? No such movie exists. But the closest that I can think of, and the one I immediately thought of before clicking on this thread, is The Princess Bride. Office Space is another one. I don't think Jaws is even close. Raiders of the Lost Ark would be far closer than Jaws, which I and a lot of other people find boring.
