My Favourite Movies: For a Lifetime, and for information

My Favourite movies are those that touched my heart/provoked my thinking  because of various reasons. Some of these movies are of a lifetime, I would want to watch them again. Some of them are documentaries on social issues or such, which are for one-off watching, I learnt something about the people on this earth from watching the film, and would recommend it to people if that particular topic came up. Usually I like movies that showcase the following:

1. Different cultures/belief systems of the world
2. Romantic/Funny/Feel Good/Making me Smile
3. Spirit of humanity/power of emotions/make me cry or feel strongly about the issue
4. Real life historical/biographies/Inspirational
5. Films that explore an idea/social issue without judging it (eg, abortion, adoption, drugs, domestic abuse, infidelity, homosexuality, etc)- these give me an insight into the complete story from different perspectives.
5. Animal kingdom, emotions, behavior patterns, this wonderful world that God created, awesomeness.
6. Sometimes simply because it has a unique/novel story idea that interested me. or that I love the actors, like I am always ready to watch any of Audrey Tautou's films, it's surprising, I always fall in love with her movies!
7. Survivor Stories- In particular, the holocaust survivor movies and the Partition of India movies, I find them very touching & inspiring, they make me reflect on how lucky I am, how blessed I am, bring out the feeling of gratitude, they give me hope, they make me believe in God, and they make me realize how important it is to be a good human. And that one person can do good in life even when surrounded by a hundred devilish people, the ray of humanity shines on...

So here is a list of movies that I recommend. I've typed them randomly as I recollect them, I might reshuffle them into an alphabetical order. I might change the order if I improve on the categorization though, since not all of us are interested in some themes/topics that these films may discuss.
