English movies like The Notebook, Bicentennial Man, Wedding Planner, Pretty Woman, Love Story, Stepmom, P.S. I LOve You, The Sound of Music, To Sir with Love...
Tamil movies like Mouna raagam, Kaaka laaka, Moondram pirai, Anbe vaa, Punnagai mannan...
Hindi movies like Bobby (I can never forget that movie), Qayamat se qayamat tak, Kuch kuch hoota hai (I cry everytime I see this one), Aradhana...
these are a few that come to my mind immediately and there are so many more.

kannada -- oldies like mana mechchida madadi (nice dialogs), saakshathkaara (touching story, songs by pbs & ps), eradu kanasu & bayalu daari (especially music by rajan-nagendra, songs of s.janaki). new ones beladingala baale, amruthavarshini, chandramukhi-praanasakhi, aakaash, milana, mungaaru male. ananth nag was the best romantic hero in 80-90s. still feel no new actors has come to his level in depiciting the simple true love. because of my parents happened to see all these good old movies.
hindi -- devanand's classics, yes araadana, khubsoorat, katipatang, there are many old movies...in recent jab-we-met was the best one.
english -- serendipity, jerry maguire .......and in animation its "beauty & beast"

There are so many good movies, it is quite difficult to choose. But I chose three from each language with which I am familiar. Some of my selections will be a bit strange and offbeat.
English - Casablanca, Guess who's coming to dinner, Dances with wolves
Hindi - sujAtA, anurAdhA, Refugee
Telugu - mallISvari, dEvadAsu, saptapadi
Tamil - kalyANa pariSu, mauna rAgam, mozhi
Kannada - nAndi, haNNele chiguridAga, beLadiMgaLa bAle

In my family, Shankarabaranam and Salangaioli are the two movies that have been favorites spanning 3 generations (my mom, my kids, and I).

Yes, SankarAbharanam is indeed a good and popular movie. It was actually so popular that it was screened in many theatres of Tamil Nadu. Actually that was the last movie we watched in Madurai before we left for the US in 1980. Salangai oli is a dubbed version of sAgara sangamam in Telugu, a showcase for kamalahAsan's dancing abilities. My only complaint against both the movies is they ended unnecessarily as tragedies. My choice saptapadi too was directed by the same director of the above two movies. This is a bit more powerful in its effect and quite imaginative too.

Here is a summary of saptapadi at http://www.idlebrain.com/nosta/jewels/saptapadi.html . I have a DVD of this movie and watch it quite often. Brilliant music by mahAdEvan ( http://www.raaga.com/player4/?id=109220,109221,109222,109223,109224,109225,109226,109227,109228,109229,237152&mode=100&rand=0.6852605455619373 ) as well as photography capped by viSvanAth's direction are the hallmarks of this film.
