For a Few Dollars More
Someone’s gotta go with “The Money Pit”. Or maybe the 1937 film “Don’t Tell the Wife” ?
Being a toning enthusiast, I'd have to go with The Color of Money.
Fistful of Dollars
Titanic
Since I spend a lot of time examining coins using optical aides for varieties, mine would be Through the Looking Glass.

Probably on occasion all of us have that "sinking" feeling for the hobby. Usually when prices of coins we own are "tanking".

(I guess I miss going shows more than I thought!)
Well now... Not a big movie buff, and the OP used my 'go to' title (and a favorite movie).... So I would have to choose 'Three Coins in a Fountain'....Signifies search, both good and bad luck, and wishful thinking.... Cheers, RickO

A Streetcar Named Desire (who doesn’t want STELLA!)

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't an optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.
My mind reader refuses to charge me....
Apocalypse Now....
“Jurassic Park.” There are many wondrous things to see ( glorious, historic coins) but there are monsters running amok ( counterfeit coins, cleaned coins, predatory sellers).
“It’s a Wonderful Life”
Life is short. Really. Have fun & enjoy it.
Part 1 was better.

Risky Business
Well, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly as referenced in the OP immediately sprung to mind even before I opened the thread...
So, how about when you just have one more coin left to complete a set, or you come upon a coin that's just beautiful. .. The Holy Grail...

I would go with the Steve Martin film "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" because the entire thing was cobbled together from old clips.

'Enjoy Yourself'
Know nothing about the movie. Just went to IMDB and typed in what coin collecting means to me and presto it is a 2009 movie
I can think of a few...
A Day at the Races 1937-Marx Bros. The dialogue between Groucho and Chico about the racing programs
Coconuts (1929)- selling Florida real estate in the 1920s and selling certain coins....
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
My favorite movie is a future documentary called "Idiocracy"
Tombstone
Edited to say I just like the movie.
I think "Little Miss Sunshine" will work.
