There's a lot of movie talking around these days, mostly about the bad part of movies, so a tread for the good movies.
But not al good movies, just the movies which after seeing them once, you just want to see them again and again. Movies you've takken the habbit of watching them every year. Movies you bought on DVD, when they are 15 years old and you know they air them every two year...


Mine are:

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi (A new Hope is out, the older I get, the less I like it)
Terminator 2 (although I find the first one better)
Total Recall
Starship Troopers (I used to watch this movie every 1st of January, being totaly wasted from going out the day before and waking up at 4 PM, I always rented that movie)
And finaly, almost al the Pixar movies, especialy The Incredibles and cars.

I can also keep watching The Simpsons, but not the movie.

For me, the original Indy flicks and all six Star Wars, though 2 & 3 make me roll my eyes.

-The Big Lebowski
-Raising Arizona
-Army of Darkness
-most Monty Python
-Spiderman 1 & 2
-Tron
-Rushmore

All those, I can't count how many times I watched them, but every one to three years or so they come back up.

To soon to tell about these for me, they are to new. I did see the first dawn of the Dead a lot

I'll go out on a limb and not name any actionmovies, simply because even if I CAN watch them over and over, I don't. The ones I DO, are:

-Love actually
-40 year old virgin (kind of about me, so...)
-Notting Hill
-Lost in Translation
-The Longest Yard (the Adam Sandler version)
-Yes man

[Zorbas]

Hmmm..interesting.

Let's see...

-The Lord Of The Rings (all three films, especially The Return Of The King)
-Se7en
-Indiana Jones and the temple of doom
-Training Day
-The Truman Show
-Curse of the jade scorpion
-Peter Seller's (and ONLY Peter Seller's ) Pink Panther movies
-V for Vendetta
-Lock Stock and two smoking Barrels

Jurassic Park. Favourite movie of all time, and I watch it far more than once a year. I can almost quote the entire script. Not the sequels.

Most Disney animations, particularly my favourite three: Lion King, Tarzan and Treasure Planet.

Ghostbusters. I watch it about as often as I watch Jurassic Park. Soon after watching one, I'll usually be in the mood for the other. Sequel's much better than the Jurassic Park ones.

The original Wicker Man, for that fantastic soundtrack.

Thanks for this positive topic, Bobskink. I was getting sick of all the negative ones too.

I agree with those, especially that last one. Oddly enough, I have only seen Last Crusade two or three times. And there's no way that T1 is better than T2. I excluded Cars because that's the one PIXAR movie that gets boring for me after a while. UP might end up getting boring too, but it's too soon to tell. Which one is it for you?

Other movies I can watch over and over:
Back To The Future I & II (III isn't as good story-wise, and I've seen it too many times)
Revenge of the Sith (What can I say? I am a sucker for CG effects, General Grievous, S.L. Jackson, and Ewan McGregor (but not in that way))
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (Best. Batman movie. Ever.)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (Best "Classic" Batman movie)
Analyse This (Figgin hilarious; one of DeNiro's best performances to date)
Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire / and the Half-Blood Prince
Most Classic Disney cartoons, except Alice, Jungle Book, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Dumbo, Bambi, and any sequels.
Duck Tales: The Movie
Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume 1 & 2 (if it counts)

I normally enjoy series, including:
Harry Potter
Back to the Future
Indiana Jones
and Star Wars

[Clone O'Patra]

I can watch In Bruges again and again, though not too close together.
Back to the Future
I've watched the LOTR trilogy till it's made me sick. I've see Return of the King at least nine times, and about the same for the Two Towers.
Star Wars the OT, but also especially EpIII just because it's high octane action without much thought and pure cheese bliss.
Christopher Guest mocumentaries (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind)
Harry Potter movies
Spider-Man movies
Terminator movies
Certain Pixars: TS 1&2, Monsters Inc, the Incredibles
Corpse Bride
Shrek 1
28 Days Later
300
Snakes on a Plane

Just to name some.

[Emperor Claudius Rome]

The Love Guru! I just loved it!

[Luke McAwesome]

Very interesting thread, Bobskink.

Jurassic Park
The Lost World: Jurassic Park II
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Please, everyone, resist starting a flame war.)
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
Congo
The Scream trilogy
A New Hope
Back to the Future(Only the first.)
Ghost Adventures: The Documentary Film(I'm not sure if this counts.)

You have won all my respect. I can almost quote the entire script of The Lost World.

[JimButcher]

That's easy.

The Matrix (duh)
The Matrix Reloaded (see above)
Star Wars movies (OT not so much, though, they seem a little longer than the PT).
Pirates of the Caribbean (all)
Lord of the Rings (all)
The Dark Knight
Indiana Jones (all)
James Bond (all)
The Mummy
The Mummy Returns


The reason for their rewatch value? I just think it's because they're instant classic action flicks, which I can never get tired of. All of the movies listed above make up the majority of my DVD collection, and I tend cycle through them every year.
