Hmmm, I haven't watched a few on your list, so I'm not sure.
I agree with The Notebook, that one is a wonderfully romantic movie! I also loved Titanic and An Officer and a Gentleman.
I'm a very emotional person, so anything that makes me cry is considered a good movie! My oldest dd never cries at movies, but my youngest is just like me. When she watched Titanic the first time and Jack was frozen and started falling under the water, she turned to me and was actually bawling! She kept saying, He can't die! He can't die! I kept having to remind her that it was just a movie!

Definitely Casablanca
What makes Casablanca so great is not necessarily the main plot line, which was probably a little cliched even when it was made. What makes it great is the overall writing and the acting performances.
The dialogue is still sharp after all these years, and the overall writing is superb. There are subplots that go unnoticed in the first viewing, such as the plight of Bulgarian refugee Annina Brandel (Joy Page), who must deal with lecherous Capt. Renault (Claude Rains) to leave Casablanca.
There is a real sense that the characters actually populate the film, as there are subplots like this for virtually every character that has a line in the movie. Virtually no screen time is wasted; even the screentime devoted to setting the scene adds to the depth of characters, even if they are minor ones.
Furthermore, the acting is superb, with the delivery of lines and nonverbal cues almost perfect in every scene. A great example of this is the entrance of Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman); Sam the piano player (Dooley Wilson) does a great double take and looks concerned. A great deal of information is conveyed without any words being spoken. It's quick and effortless, and indicative of the quality of acting and writing that permeates the film. This quality, coupled with the movie's quotability, makes it a must see and a real American classic.
