The Naked City 1948
Impact 1949
The Big Steal 1949
Mystery Street 1950
Farewell My Lovely 1975
If you’ve never seen Rising Sun, I recommend it to you most sincerely.
I have seen “Murder By Death” nearly fifty times. I never get tired of it. It’s so witty, so saucy, and the actors are all obviously having so much fun. A great cast, too.
I’ve seen Silverado around ten times, and would (and will!) happily watch it again.
Lots of others, but those are the ones I’ve seen most often.
I know there are some very old threads in this forum that have similar topics.
For example, One of them is titled, “Not-the-greatest movies you watch over and over”
My brain must be asleep. But can anyone tell me how I can access those threads? The search tool allows me to find individual posts in the thread. But how can I see the entire list?
I have a forboding feeling of fear that the answer will translate - at least in part - to “you must be pretty stupid”. Oh well.
Something kind of odd about that movie for me. The first time I saw it, I loved it, laughed my ass off, but I could never sit through it again in it’s entirety. Lost interest, didn’t laugh. This is odd because I AM a person who watches movies over and over if I like them.
I have discovered I can get tired of movies I love, but it takes dozens of viewings, so I’ll consider those as, “movies I never get tired of”, rather than take the title literally.
The Avengers - witty, funny, fun, cool action scenes.
Star Trek reboot - thought the casting was great.
Local Hero - classic movie
Big Trouble in Little China - just a hoot.
Silverado - good to great casting, great looking movie, great characters. Hmm, I’ll have to watch this again.
Better Off Dead - a movie about a put-upon paper boy who just wants his $2, and the antics of his cheapskate customers as they avoid paying him what he’s due.
As many times as I’ve watched The Wizard of Oz in my life, it must count. Let’s see… The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Fistful of Dollars both fit, as does Fistful’s inspiration, Yojimbo. I’m not sure if seasonal movies count–A Christmas Story and The Hudsucker Proxy are both December standbys for me, but that’s the only time I’ll be watching them.
Also: How in the world is Errol Flynn’s The Adventures of Robin Hood film noir? :dubious:
Like many women of my era, there is the occasional BBC Pride and Prejudice day where you curl up on the couch with some tea (or wine) and a warm blanket and watch.
I’m not sure I’d NEVER get tired of it, and it may be at this point more about the indulgence of a day on the couch with five hours of Regency England and Wet Darcy than the movie itself.
but particularly Casino, for some reason. I refer to it as MYWizard of Oz. I own the damn movie, but whenever it’s on AMC or Bravo, I watch it then, even with the edits. I’ve seen it so many times, if they ever did a stage-play, I could under-study every single role, step in at a moment’s notice and not flub a single line.

When I was in college, 40 years ago, The Great Escape was one of those male-bonding movies that we all had to watch, no matter how many times we’d seen them. Zulu was also on the list, along with The Magnificent Seven and Cool Hand Luke.
