[iemitsu]

2. Dr. Strangelove.

I think Dr. Strangelove has more funny quotes than any other movie.

[lunamagica]

4. Should I be ashamed to say that I have lots?

Among them:

Grease
Saturday Night Fever
The fugitive
Us Marshalls
Moonstruck
When Harry Met Sally
Peggy Sue Got Married
Goodfellas
Most Christmas movies
The good, The Bad, The Ugly
And many more...

[Algernon Moncrieff]

6. For me - Christmas Vacation

[Alice11111]

17. It's a tradition around Christmas.

[BlueMTexpat]

121. That and

"A Christmas Story" are two perennial holiday favorites around our house!

[Algernon Moncrieff]

131. Absolutely

Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? A topic for another thread.

[Alice11111]

165. It is great too.

[smirkymonkey]

I love that movie!

[Richard D]

10. Casablanca

No idea why, but I love it.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

12. It has several of the most iconic moments in cinema

Round up the usual suspects

I am shocked—shocked—to find that gambling is going on in here!

Here's looking at you, kid

[Alice11111]

16. For sure, Casablanca

[brush]

46. "The Maltese Falcon" too. It has some of the usual suspects as Casablanca in it.

Also for me:

The Godfather 1 & 2
Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas

[Alice11111]

142. Now, I'm going to rewatch it.

[Richard D]

72. It's the only movie . . .

. . . I've seen more than 5 times.

[Alice11111]

168. We'll always have Paris.

Best film ever made.

[demosincebirth]

[VOX]

242. Housekeeper: "But that's a priceless Steinway!" Clouseau: "Not anymore."

Wonderfully silly!

[smirkymonkey]

245. That is my favorite line!!

It's the way he says it that makes it so hilarious!

[VOX]

246. Yes! Whenever I or my wife breaks/drops/otherwise destroys any household object...

We will both respond with, "Not anymore," in the Clouseau dialect!

[Doreen]

14. Creator

Better Off Dead
Shawshank Redemption
Airplane 1 & 2
Dream Catcher
Green Mile

Is that enough movies? I could name more.

[Alice11111]

15. Birdcage, Robin Williams & Nathan Lane

[Laffy Kat]

23. That was a riot.

Gene Hackman was perfect.

[Alice11111]

143. He played the uptight Repub perfectly.

Remember the China

[wryter2000]

88. Yes!

Love that movie

[beveeheart]

163. La Cage aux Folles

I've seen the French version at least 8 times, find it funnier than the English version.

[Alice11111]

164. Well, I shall try it again, but the acting in Birdcage

is tops.

[NBachers]

18. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

They Live
The Big Lebowski
Out of the Past
Thunder Road
Assault on Precinct 13 (the original)
The Day The Earth Stood Still

[Alice11111]

169. Big Lebowski, unique

[hlthe2b]

19. Geez, no one is going to mention Wizard of Oz? or Sound of Music? or Lawrence of Arabia?

Even Gone With the Wind... (controversies noted...)

[klook]

233. Wizard of Oz, for sure

I know I'm not unusual, but I've lost count of how man times I've seen that movie - I can replay most of it in my head on demand. This is definitely my most-watched movie of all time!

[ElementaryPenguin]

266. Those, and The Godfather (Parts 1 & 2)

[eppur_se_muova]

20. Monty Python and the Holy Grail ! nt

[Alice11111]

144. It's one of those that a scene from which pops into my brain

during relatable situations.

[DBoon]

189. yes!!

I have never been able to view shrubbery without cracking up

[NewJeffCT]

221. I am a shrubber

My name is Roger the Shrubber. I arrange, design and sell shrubberies.

[sprinkleeninow]

21. Cool Hand Luke

[Laffy Kat]

22. "Aliens"

Mainly, the scene when the Marines get surrounded and attacked by the aliens and Ripley takes over the M5TT Armed Personnel Transporter to rescue them. She is so bad ass in that scene I could watch it all day.

[TlalocW]

24. My top five

Clue
Three Amigos!
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie
Harper Valley PTA
Monty Python's Meaning of Life

TlalocW

[longship]

25. Rear Window!!!!!!!

Thelma Ritter is awesome in it.

Also, other Hitch: NbNW, Vertigo, Strangers on a Train, Psycho, a few others.

The Third Man
Maltese Falcon
To Have or Have Not

Almost any Kubrick, except Eyes Wide Shut. (I don't do Tom Cruise for any reason.) especially Dr. Strangelove.

And in that vein... also
Fail-Safe
On the Beach

My Man Godfrey
Hopscotch

Many, many others.

And yes, The Day of the Jackal. The original one only.

[Codeine]

43. Rear Window never gets old. nt

[GopherGal]

162. Hopscotch!

I wasn't expecting anyone else would name that one..

I expected Star Wars, The Sting, All the President's Men, Princess Bride, and some of my other faves to make others' lists, but I thought this one obscure enough that it might be unique.

[longship]

167. It is unique. Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson.

They create utter magic together. Well, it is not their only outing together. But Hopscotch is special. They are totally unbuttoned. And Ned Beatty is priceless as CIA boss Myerson. I like Sam Waterston in everything he does. Don't forget Herbert Lom as KGB operative Yazkoff. It is a near flawless ensemble cast (including two of Matthau's kids).

A film that is an utter joy to watch.

It is available from the Criterion Collection, no less.

My best to you.

[Alice11111]

173. !!!

[DFW]

26. The Wahlberg/Theron remake of "The Italian Job"

Also "Shooter" and "Avatar"

Fast becoming my favorite, though, is "Luftslottet som Sprängdes." It translates out to "The Castle In The Air That Got Blown Up." It was later redone with an English-speaking cast, including Daniel Craig, as "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo," but the Swedish original is a thousand times better, a really haunting film.

[longship]

33. Noomi Rapace!

She was incredible in the entire Swedish Millenium Trilogy.

The first film was theatrically released. The next two were TV films.

A clip from the second film, with badass Noomi Rapace:

BTW, we lost Michael Nyqvist this year. Dead at 56. Too damned bad.

[DFW]

40. We saw that Nyquist had died

Lung cancer--horrible way to go.

[Heartstrings]

109. Loved her with Tom Hardy in

Child 44 and The Drop!

[Alice11111]

172. Wow, thank you!!!!

I had forgotten how good that was. Some kickass woman.

[Alice11111]

171. Agree, the Swedish original is better. I was pissed off

that the American version came out so fast. Daniel Craig pulled it off though.

[applegrove]

27. All the Presidents Men. I had only seen it a few times

Last edited Wed Aug 9, 2017, 12:29 AM - Edit history (1)

when my life went upside down and I became hooked on the characters' integrity and strength through confusing times. I've since watched it every few months for years. Calms me down. Detailed enough that I don't get bored and can escape.

Princess Bride, Bridgett Jones's Diary, Pride and Predjudice the miniseries, My Brilliant Career. And every year at Easter The Sound of Music.

[SeattleVet]

28. Got a few...

A Clockwork Orange

29. There is no limit to the number of times I can watch A HARD DAY'S NIGHT.

[OnDoutside]

30. Kelly's Heroes

[longship]

35. A deal deal! Maybe the guy's a Republican. nt

[OnDoutside]

37. You're giving me those negative waves again, Moriarty !

[longship]

38. The anachronisms are jarring in Kelly's Heroes.

But it is an incredibly entertaining film.

It is definitely on my list of films which I can see over and over again.

[OnDoutside]

39. Yes it wouldn't be high in the historical accuracy points table but great fun. It's one of the few

movies I've seen more than 2 or 3 times (12 times + !).

[Algernon Moncrieff]

Certainly agree with "A Christmas Story," "Life of Brian" and "Shawshank" as posted by others.

[Alice11111]

178. All of them

[BlueMTexpat]

212. Love them all too!

[CincyDem]

41. Twister. Lawrence of Arabia. The Godfather (1 & 2)

[Awsi Dooger]

42. The Sting

"Four jacks"

Busts me up every time

[unc70]

44. Rocky Horror Picture Show

Surprised no one had mentioned it.

I have watched most of the ones mentioned several times. And there are many more. I wonder what to make of my willingness to rewatch so many of these rather than looking at something new to me.

[The King of Prussia]

45. Groundhog Day

Which seems appropriate.

[Bladewire]

47. My Own Private Idaho

My Own Private Idaho

Hackers

Orlando

Chocolate

The Pillow Book

[elehhhhna]

48. Whale Rider,

Strictly ballroom, Exodus gods and Kings just for the CGI , Napoleon dynamite , waiting for Guffman...

[Zoonart]

56. I LOVE Galaxy Quest too!

I also have to say that I get sucked into ALL ABOUT EVE, every time.
"Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night."

[FM123]

61. Yes!

And I thought of Galaxy Quest last month when trumpy was at a rally standing behind a sign that said put our minors back to work. "Miners not minors" straight out of the movie, lol.

[Zoonart]

62. LOL

I missed that little gem.

[renegade000]

179. RIP Alan Rickman

[FM123]

219. By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan, you shall be avenged....

[wryter2000]

89. I have no idea

How many times I've watched that movie

[FM123]

93. Me too, it never gets old.

[renegade000]

180. Yes!

Honestly, even though it was a parody, I consider it one of the best Trek movies of the past 20 years heh. There is a legit scifi element to the story with the Thermians and their inability to grasp fiction (and the consequences of that, played to hilarious effect).

[Control-Z]

275. I'm late to this thread but

Galaxy Quest is my go to movie for cheering up too!

My other is A Million Ways to Die in the West! Not sure why. It's generally not the kind of humor I enjoy. But I've watched it more times than I can remember.

[flibbitygiblets]

278. "Does the rolling help?" "Yes, it helps"

[FM123]

284. Never too late to give a shout out to Galaxy Quest

[smirkymonkey]

152. Animal House is another film I have seen probably 25 times or more.

Part of my personal cult collection.

[justhanginon]

60. The movie I find most delightful and have rewatched many times is

Much Ado About Nothing w/ Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson.

[mucifer]

63. "Night Nurse" with Barbra Stanwyk and Clark Gable from 1931

It's pre code and it's a hoot!

[WePurrsevere]

64. I guess I have quite a few...

that I've watched a few times over the years.
All That Jazz
Bird Cage
What Dreams May Come
The Kingfisher
1776 (not historically great but fun nonetheless)
Rent
Grease
Xanadu
Yellow Submarine
Plus a boatload of older musicals/movies with Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, Danny Kay, Gene Kelly, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, etc

I also must admit to a deep love of Disney/Pixar, etc animated movies, which comes in handy now that I have a 'kindle' of grandchildren to occasionally share them with.

When I first read the question I didn't think I'd come up with that many but as I typed more and more came to me and oh my....

[Alice11111]

187. All That Jazz, Nadine

I've seen Nadine multiple times because every time we visit my mother, she wants to watch it. She doesn't hear anymore, but she used to watch it w my dad. So, it brings back good memories for her, and she doesn't have to worry about hearing, since she knows the lines. My SO always pulls it out for us to watch. We can't talk politics, so we never turn the TV on. We just watch old movies, and my mother has cabinets full of some of the best.

[WePurrsevere]

216. Although I'm not familiar with the movie, Nadine...

It sounds like it has brought your family together and still brings back some happy memories. IMO that's better than any movie.

[Alice11111]

241. Thank you. You got that one.

[ADX]

65. "The Godfather"...

[livetohike]

66. Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The Lion in Winter.

This is Spinal Tap
Annie Hall
Gone With the Wind
The Wizard of Oz
It's a Wonderful Life

[lunatica]

225. Close Encounters is one of my favorites too

There is such an innocence about that movie.

[House of Roberts]

67. Kelly's Heroes and Galaxy Quest from above.

The Fifth Element

Cheyenne Social Club
Operation Petticoat
Some Like It Hot
Irma La Douce
The Moon Is Blue

So many great moments....

[Blue Owl]

[mahatmakanejeeves]

The Music Man
Chicago
West Side Story

Star Wars 4, 5, and 6

[First Speaker]

80. Where Eagles Dare

...I mean, it's a silly film. Richard Burton would have been arrested on the spot in the Germany of 1944 just for his hair style alone. It has enough blood shed to satisfy a whole phalanx of vampires for a year. Some of the "Germans" blown to hell are obvious dummies. It's a good half-hour too long. But I never get tired of watching it.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

133. Where Eagles Dare is pure fun

[BlueMTexpat]

214. I LOVE that one!

Burton and Clint Eastwood(!) together, LOL! Eastwood was mostly in his "spaghetti western" period at the time.

The fight on the cable car ...!

Alastair Maclean, who wrote the novel on which the film is based, wrote the screenplay for his close friend, Richard Burton. Fittingly, their graves are not far from one another in the shady old cemetery in Celigny, Switzerland. See http://www.dicconbewes.com/2010/09/15/dead-famous-in-switzerland/

[The Blue Flower]

81. I have several, too

85. Mash, 12 O'Clock High, American Graffiti,

Blue Bros. some of the older Star Treks.

[skip fox]

87. Did any one have The Big Lebowski?

The list seems short of Cohen brothers films, which are, if not universally brilliant, some of the most consistently odd-ball, wonderfully comic pieces, all different, of the past half century.

Miller's Crossing was mentioned, but not O Brother, Where Art Thou, Raising Arizona, or Fargo. Of course I might have missed them.

[BlueMTexpat]

215. I love ALL the Coen brothers films.

My list was hardly exclusive. It could go on for hours!

Baby steps. Cracks me up. The transference is hilarious (if that's what you call it).

[rock]

113. What a great Idea!

I was frankly puzzled by the OP. Why would I want to name a movie that I watched so many times, it's got a title you know! Why couldn't I just just tell the title. But no, the OP wants me to name it. Well then what about Bob. Yep, I'm naming it Bob. Thanks R B Garr for the suggestion!

[Pisces]

264. Just showed this to my 11 yr old. Loved it!!

[Freelancer]

112. Star Wars, Excalibur, Dune, Lebowski, H Grail, LOTR, Wrath of K, Big Trb in Little China -nt

[ret5hd]

115. They Live (and that was before I knew it was a documentary!)

[Glorfindel]

117. Several, actually. What an interesting discussion!

Donnie Darko
Rat Race
Galaxy Quest
The King and I (and several other movie musicals)
Samson and Delilah (Hedy Lamarr! Victor Mature! Angela Lansbury!)
All the Star Wars movies
All the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies

The Devil Wears Prada
2001 A Space Odyssey
The first three Indiana Jones movies

[Mme. Defarge]

118. Kind Hearts and Coronets!

I grew up on Alec Guinness movies. What about Captain's Paradise?

[Algernon Moncrieff]

132. My favorite Gunniess films in no particular order

KH & C
The Lavender Hill Mob
Our Man in Havana
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy/ Smiley's People (ok, its a miniseries- OK its two miniseries)
...and yes, Star Wars ( I know - he hated it)

Captain's Paradise is fun, as are the Ladykillers and The Man in the White Suit.

[Mme. Defarge]

135. OMG, this takes me back!

[VOX]

244. It kills me that Guinness is best known for Star Wars...

With his amazing filmography.

I'd also include his outstanding turn as Professor Marcus in "The Ladykillers" (the original, of course).

[Adsos Letter]

119. Ocean's 11 (the 2001 remake)

Ocean's 11
Kelly's Heroes
Waterloo (I have always been impressed by the fact that Rod Steiger was experiencing clinical depression when he played Napoleon in this flick).
Paths of Glory
The Blues Brothers (the original, with Akroyd and Belushi).

[FuzzyRabbit]

120. Mostly comedies

Local Hero
Clueless
Blast From the Past
Sky High
Animal House
The Blues Brothers
Mean Girls
A League of Their Own
Operation Petticoat
Dr. Strangelove

[Zoonart]

155. LOCAL HERO!!!

Almost forgot about that one. Fabulous film.

[VMA131Marine]

182. With a very young Peter Capaldi

Who could predict then he would go on to play The Doctor?

[Zoonart]

218. "Who", indeed!

He was a great Doctor.

[bitterross]

122. Airplane, Auntie Mame

Just the first two to come to mind

[BlueMTexpat]

123. LOTS!

Among them ...

The Grapes of Wrath
Some like It Hot
Casablanca (of course)
Charade (the original with Audrey Hepburn & Cary Grant)
To Kill a Mockingbird
Lawrence of Arabia
Dr. Zhivago
The Departed
Blood Diamond
All the Star Wars movies in the sequence they were released
The Lord of the Rings trilogy

etc., etc., etc.

And recently, I saw "The Brothers Karamazov" on TCM for the first time in MANY years. And - for the first time - realized that Alexei was played by a very young William Shatner!

[smirkymonkey]

154. I love Charade!

I have probably seen that at least 10 times, if not more. It's one of my favorite movies!

[lunamagica]

203. I though Audrey H and Peter O'Tool stared in Charade?

[BlueMTexpat]

210. That must have been a version

that I never saw.

This is the one that I meant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charade_(1963_film) This version has been referred to as "the best Hitchcock movie that Hitchcock never made."

I also love Mancini's musical score.

And yes, as several here have mentioned, I also like "Midnight in Paris." I love just about any movie set in Paris. But some are certainly more watchable several times than others are.

[lunamagica]

235. You are correct. For some reason I confused "Charade" with "How To Steal a Million"

My mistake

[lunatica]

227. Cary Grant

[lunamagica]

236. Right. I confused "Charade" with "How to Steal a Million"

[Wolf Frankula]

124. Monty Python's Life of Brian

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Producers,
Blazing Saddles,
Under Fire,


Wolf

[JuJuYoshida]

125. The Nightmare before Christmas and The Crow

I know Yui will be saying Shin Godzilla but I'm on a third viewing!

[pangaia]

126. Seven Samurai

Still Life

[Algernon Moncrieff]

134. My Kurosawa film is "Ran"

Visually amazing

[pangaia]

145. YES IT IS !

And the music is spectacular, written by the great composer Toru Takemitsu.

[mikeargo]

127. All the President's Men

I'll watch it (all or in part) every time I see it's on.

[Warpy]

129. "Min and Bill"

It was a melodrama and an early talkie. There is a knock-down-drag-out fight between Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery that is more entertaining every time I watch it. Dressler steals every scene she is in.

"The Heiress"
"Dark Passage"
"Kind Hearts and Coronets" (but I didn't do that one!)
"The Fifth Element"

[MFM008]

130. Shrek

Robin Hood (1939)
The Ghost and Mrs Muir.
Jason and the Argonauts.

In fact I watch more movies I've already seen than new ones.

[NightWatcher]

136. I'll watch The Great Escape or the Dirty Dozen when I happen upon them.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

137. Guilty on both counts

[NightWatcher]

139. it's damn near a compulsion

[WinkyDink]

157. Wizard of Oz

158. Lady and the Tramp

It was the first movie I ever saw. It never gets old, even though I am now!

[Alice11111]

193. I just gave it to my 2 & 4 year old Granddaughters, so I

could watch it.

[sueh]

160. Scrooged with Bill Murray. I never get tired of Carol Kane hitting him with a toaster.

[rainy]

170. Secret Life of Bees

[ucrdem]

174. "Madame de" is my go-to French classic

and has anyone mentioned Mildred Pierce? Not that they're a pair but they're both B/W melodramas with great scores that never seem to wear out, at least for me! On the other hand Mrs ucrdem won't go near either any more so there's that . . .

[Alice11111]

175. Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the B & W, with Donald Southerland. It is so relevant now.

I see people doing normal things & I think they are normal. Then, if I start talking to them, their brains have been snatched. They are batshit crazy RW Repubs who think really mean, lunatic things.

[LeftInTX]

177. I would like to add Bye Bye Birdie to the list

Grease
Dr. Zhivago
Airplane
Generally movies that other people recommended are on my list.

One movie that I never get sick of watching is Baazigar. I watched it on YouTube so many times, then the production company took down the copy and replaced it with an inferior copy. I was able to purchase it HD on Amazon streaming. I've got the movie memorized.

[angrychair]

181. Really?

No one has said:

Princess Bride

Goonies

Drop Dead Fred

Naked Lunch

Brazil

[TheDebbieDee]

184. Independence Day, Last Starfighter, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Trek VI, Star Trek IV,

MP and the Holy Grail and several others...

[liberal N proud]

FYI: I knew D-Day and Blutto.

The Matrix

202. Glengarry Glen Ross. About 10 times

GGR cast Al Pacino Alec Baldwin Jack Lemon Kevin Spacey Ed Harris Alan Arkin

[WinkyDink]

248. Put that coffee down! Coffee is for closers only.

[Akamai]

204. You are distracting us from saving the world, etc., but I really like this topic! these movies

energize us, remind us to be empathetic, appeal to our better natures.

I will download and keep this thread!

great idea!

[Doug the Dem]

207. Being There: Peter Sellers, Shirley MacLaine, Melvyn Douglas, Jack Warden

If there was a flaw in that film, I was not astute enough to detect it. Number One Movie of All Time!

[Bradshaw3]

209. Sideways

Many I could have mentioned but most already on the list here but Sideways isn't. Just makes me feel good plus another of Payne's wonderful work. Two flawed humans who probably shouldn't be friends due to their moral compasses but nonetheless are, for better or worse. Plus you learn about wine and us average guys get an idea of what it would be like to be with Virginia Madsen.

[Rhiannon12866]

211. Star Wars - saw that 6x at the movies back in the day!

A Thousand Clowns - Jason Robards and Barbara Harris

The Music Man - Robert Preston and Shirley Jones

And I have to agree about Rear Window!

[greatauntoftriplets]

237. Out of Africa

The Last of the Mohicans
The Secret of Roan Inish

[NRaleighLiberal]

251. GMTA! watched Out of Africa dozens of times - one of Sue's/my go to standards

[Mike__M]

238. They Might be Giants

Koyaanisqatsi
Singin' in the Rain

Apocalypse Now
Aguirre, the Wrath of God

The complete list would be eclectic and exhaustive. It would also include a few oddballs like:
Apocalypto
The Bounty
American Psycho
Empire of the Sun
The Magnificent Seven (1960)
The Hill
The One that Got Away

[WinkyDink]

249. Was "Apocalypto" not frickin' amazing?! Gotta give it to Mel: he knows how to do "gruesome"!

Even so, he went easy---the Aztecs had victims lined up for MILES, waiting to get their hearts ripped out.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/07/04/archaeologists-unearth-a-500-year-old-tower-of-skulls-and-another-gruesome-aztec-mystery/?utm_term=.67a555d075ff

And the "body art" was beyond awesome.

[VOX]

267. Yes! Only a loon like Mel does excess so artfully!

Funny, "Apocalypto" has, at its center, the classic crime-pursuit-retribution structure of numerous vintage westerns and folktales. It even has dramatic cross-cutting to trouble back at the homestead, away from the main action (wife & kid in the filling well).

The marketplace scenes are fantastic, guys just covered in lime barfing their lungs out, dwarf thieves, sewage problems, the decadent fat-cats and priest (I get the idea from a quick nod between the chief & priest that they are aware that the eclipse will happen, and have staged their sacrifices for maximum effect).

Damn, now I want to see it again (for the nth time)! Popping in the blu-ray when I get home!

[Brother Buzz]

247. Get Shorty

I'm really bummed Elmore Leonard kicked the bucket before he get to develop the Chili Palmer series further. The other one, Be Cool,was good to, but I don't believe I've seen it five times.

[NRaleighLiberal]

250. Jaws. The Sting. Lost in Translation. Out of Africa. Babette's Feast. Amelie.

Stop Making Sense. Antonia's Line. Bread and Tulips. Koyaanisqatsi. Baraka. The Last Waltz. Rouge, Blanc and Bleu (the French incredible trio of movies by Kieslowski). Mostly Marta.

255. Private Ryan, Snatch, Full Metal Jacket, Pulp Fiction and Hopscotch.

Some of R. Lee's lines in "Jacket". Ned Beatty as CIA director in Hopscotch! I have a lot more.

A new girlfriend, in her 50's, saw my t-shirt on a whitewater rafting trip. It says, "Paddle Faster, I Hear Banjos!" A graphic of two guys paddling a canoe. She asked wtf does that mean? As soon as we got home, we watched Deliverance! One that would be on my top five about any other day you asked.

261. Too Many To Name

It has to be in the hundreds. I'm that type. I watch lots of movies, many mentioned above, that i watch every time i notice it. Don't even have to watch the whole thing.

It definitely includes ALL the Star Trek movies, although i don't think i could watch the first one any longer.

Someone above mentioned Groundhog Day and that one i can watch over and over and over, which as that poster mentioned, seems appropriate.

Someone else mentioned Silver Linings Playbook, but now we tend to wait (or fast forward) to everything after the scene at the diner and outside the theater. From that point on, i can watch that movie every month.
