Oh, yeah, and Groundhog Day.
So you like sausage?
Agree with many selections already mentioned. I’ll add:
Witness
We Are Marshall
Gimme Shelter
And, these bear * several* viewings, but not *many:
Being John Malkovich
Memento
House of Games
Fletch*
A few more:
Paper Moon
The Lives of Others
The Return of Martin Guerre
The Red Balloon (short feature)
These last three are foreign-language.
The Lion In Winter - one of my three Christmas “musts” along with
A Christmas Story
and
Scrooge/A Christmas Carol (the Alistair Sim version). The deliciously dysfunctional Plantagenets celebrating Christmas is probably a lot closer to reality than most Hollywood films, and is a great antidote for anyone forced to watch any of the Hallmark Channel offerings while stuck at a relative’s house for dinner. The Hepburn-O’Toole version only, please.
The Philadelphia Story
Bringing Up Baby
A Night At The Opera
Singin In The Rain
Local Hero
A Hard Day’s Night
Pride And Prejudice - the “wet Colin” version. Not strictly a movie, but who cares?
This Is Spinal Tap
Raiders Of The Lost Ark
The Adventures of Robin Hood - Flynn version only
Grand Prix - dumb story, great racing footage
The LOTR trilogy
Just remembered - Secondhand Lions.
Remembered Cabaret too.
And Pink Floyd The Wall.
Gladiator
Apollo 13
9 Reinas (Argentinian)
Groundhog Day
The Shawshank Redemption
Bridge over the River Kwai
The Power of One
The Sound of Music
The Incredibles
Groundhog Day
The Green Mile
The Shawshank Redemption
A Miracle on 34th Street (any version)
Young Frankenstein (Put the candle back!)
I’ve seen all of these at least 10 times each.
Romancing the Stone - There is no limit to how many times I can watch this movie.
I hope no one will object too strenuously if I offer my personal opinion (it’s only my opinion), but I think the Guns of Navarrone has to be heads and shoulders above most other adventure movies (both war time and peace time) including The Bridge on the River Kwai and The Eagle has Landed.
I love The Eagle has Landed (especially Donald Pleasance’s portrayal of Himmler) but The Guns of Navarrone just has all the others beat. I think that in large part, that is due to Gregory Peck’s performance. Again, it’s just my opinion, but I think he is one of the most incredibly talented actors of all time. I just love watching him work.
Bringing Up Baby
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Casablanca
North by Northwest
The 39 Steps
Cabaret
All That Jazz
The book was even better, as I recall. Been awhile.
Saw the movie but have yet to read the book. I agree with Lazlo. Peck (and the music) make it the thriller it is. I liked Irene Papas, too. James Darren was a little hard to take, though.
Most of my re-watch favorites have been mentioned, but here’s my list of movies I’ve happily watched a bazillion times:
The Abyss
Beetlejuice
Groundhog Day
Last of the Mohicans
Little Shop of Horrors
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Overboard (sue me!)
The Princess Bride
The Fifth Element
Pulp Fiction
The Wizard of Oz
