Conflict is important to a story because it's an important part of the plot. The character's usually have to overcome the conflict that they face in order for a story to progress. The three main kinds of conflict are external, internal, and philosophical conflict. External conflict is the obstacles that the character faces in the external world. Internal conflict is the internal choices that a character must make. Philosophical conflict must challenge a character's morals and values. Most movies have a combination of all three, but it's essential to understand the fundamentals of a story in order to utilize conflict effectively. A movie can't just use internal or external conflict, it should also use philosophical conflict to give the story an overall meaning. Minor characters can also contribute to conflict, and they usually push other characters, along with the audience, deeper into the philosophical conflict of a film. A combination of all three, good character building, and good writing, can all contribute to a good, non-preachy movie.
