For some reason I can watch Back to the Future (Part I) over and over and over again and never really get sick of it.

Let's see. My wife and I watch Topsy Turvy at least a couple of times a year. We really like the production of the Gilbert and sulivan numbers, as well as the visualization of Victorian England. We also watched Amelie several times during the past year. We just got Robin Hood with Patrick Bergin and Uma Thurman. We watched it a lot on Laser Disc and I am sure we will continue to rewatch it on dvd.

We may not watch them frequently, but the following are ones that we do enjoy rewatching from time to time:

Young Frankenstein. (this is one of our favorites)
Fifth Element
Casablanca
All About Eve
My Man Godfrey
Shakespeare in Love
You Can't Take It With You

I just watched Children of Paradise for the first time this week and I do believe that that is one I will revisit frequently.

Some I watch repeatedly 'cause I love the film itself:
in no particular order:
Elizabeth
Jaws
From Hell
the LOTRs
the Indiana Jones films
Silence of the Lambs
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
Young Frankenstein
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Interview with the Vampire
Mildred Pierce
Double Indemnity
Chocolat
Cider House Rules

Some I watch repeatedly because they're good material for evaluating upgrades in audio or video equipment:

Gladiator (also qualifies under first category)
The Haunting (great discrete DTS ES with tons of LFE to show off sub)
Shakespeare in Love (pq and color)
Ian McKellan's Richard III (natural fleshtones and good color)

The one dvd that gets played the most is also probably my all time favorite movie. It's non-anamorphic and I've actually bought several dvd players with scaling features almost solely to watch this disc on:

Titanic

I know this is the film many love to hate, and I can understand the reasons. I certainly have many films in my collection that I willingly acknowledge are better movies. The story of the Titanic sinking has always held a fascination for me and this film really brings it to life almost in real time in a way no other movie has. For this reason I'm willing to overlook it's several faults.

OK. Some of these are a given, but please don't laugh at the ones that are not in bold!:b

All LOTR
All Matrix
Indiana Jones
All Star Wars
All Harry Potter

Now some of these hurt to admit...

Galaxy Quest (Com'on-Rickman never takes off the toop!)
Hudson Hawk (Cat burglars singin' Sinatra)
When Harry Met Sally...( every New Years that I don't have a date >sigh< ...and Karaoke )
Seven Brides...(Howard Keel in living color.Ginger-haired Adonis!)
Popeye (Sweeeeet, Sweet Haven. Shelly Duval rocks!)
Miss Congeniality (little girl crush on SB)
The Quiet Man (throw me on the bed, big daddy!)
Sense & Sensibility( the captain is sooo romantic)
Fame (yes I wanted to go to the school for the arts)
1776 (the Founding Fathers dancing and singing-irresistably informative!)

And here's the one that makes so many of the boys groan...


A&E's Pride and Prejudice (I'm a Janeite and I'm proud of it!Couldn't love this more. Watched it thousands of times. Wore out one copy on VHS and am now on the second incarnation of the DVD. If there's one person out there who still hasn't seen it, get on it!!! It's the most satisfying story of all time).
Please forgive my going on. :b

There are more that could go on this list, but since I still have some pride, I won't include "The Sweetest Thing". :D

For me it's movies about music, specifically Amadeus, The Blues Brothers, This Is Spinal Tap. But mostly I don't like to re-watch films, as I'd rather be using that time to watch something new.

And I can watch 2001: A Space Odyssey over and over.

Movies I have watched over and over and over
Rushmore
Big Lebowski (probably number 1)
Spirited Away (I don't get it either)

Movies I bought, but only watched once:
Grave of the Fireflies (I could watch it again, but I'd probably kill myself)
Requiem for a Dream (also really depressing - though I've actually seen it twice, but that's only because Jennifer Connely is hot)

Many that have already been mentioned. Plus "Jumanji". Unique plot, lots of action and just plain fun. Also "Drowning Mona". Danny Devito, Bette Medler, great supporting cast, white trash humor (cheap jokes at affordable prices) and way too many Yugo's! Silly, silly, silly. And very good directors comments for a change.
