The one I've seen the most: most likely Casablanca

The one I think was least deserving: Tough call. Annie Hall comes to mind because I think Star Wars was a much better film.

Favorite: Damn, that's hard. Schindler's List is brilliant. I love Casablanca. I love An American in Paris and Ben-Hur. The Sting, The Godfathers I & II, Lawrence of Arabia, and Bridge on the River Kwai are also high on my list.

I want those 2-3 hours of my life back: That's easier. The Artist, American Beauty, Kramer vs. Kramer, and Chariots of Fire

My favorite of your favorites: All About Eve -- the irony of Hollywood is that before the feminist movement of the 60s-70s, women often had stronger, better written roles. Thank God Bette Davis was there to play those roles.
