Are there any movies you can watch over and over and never tire of them?

I just flashed on one of my very favorite movies that seems to have been overlooked.

What’s Love Got To Do With It (1993)

I just love this movie and can watch it any time.

I can’t say enough good things about it and if you have never seen it, I recommend it to you most strongly. I predict that you will love it just as much as do I.

Angela Basset did a knockout performance. Wow! What a great actress!

Judging by your list, I would like to recommend the following film to you:

The Enemy Below (1957) is a WW2 submarine movie staring Robert Mitchum & Curt Jurgens. It’s just my opinion, but I believe you may enjoy this movie more than Run Silent, Run Deep.

I am happy to grant you a special dispensation based on the excellent movies you have posted to this thread.

Please feel free to post any movies that you would like to post and thank you for all pf the fine movies that you have posted so far.

For those people who posted “We Are Marshall”, I would like to recommend, “Remember the Titans”.

IMO, they are both excellent movies. But, Remember the Titans is just a lot more fun. I could do without the little girl. But, the rest of the movie is great - mostly because it is set against the backdrop of the civil rights struggle in the 1970s USA.

If you have never seen it, I’m sure you will really like it. Denzel Washington is just terrific as he usually is in any film in which he acts.

Denzel is just an extra special talent.

I’ve lately been viewing and reviewing “Walk Hard: the Dewey Cox Story.” Vastly underrated film.

The bad bad movie I watch again and again: Independence Day

Good movies I watch again and again:
The Shootist
Rocky
LA Confidential
Groundhog Day
Empire of the Sun
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
trilogy
American Beauty
Three Kings
Saving Private Ryan

I concur with this assessment (including the sometimes overly sentimental aspects, which may lie at the heart of its charm). The fan of this movie may also be familiar with the tribute paid to it by its “remake” in Star Trek TOS. The 1966 episode “Balance of Terror” is closely based on this film, with the USS Enterprise cast as the destroyer and the Romulan vessel, using a cloaking device, as the U-boat.

Captain James T. Kirk: “He did exactly what I would have done. I won’t underestimate him again.”

Well, I put in my own list, and then looked through the thread and was reminded of how many great movies it’s bee way too long since I’ve last seen. So if any of these show up on my TV screen or a local theater, I’ll watch them again like no watched film has ever been watched!

Ok, Wild Things isn’t a great movie in the traditional sense but nearly naked Denise Richards and Neve Campbell make it worth watching again and again.

Excellent list. I don’t see any problem when people post titles that duplicate titles other people have posted. IMO, it just confirms those films are worth seeing.

Kirk actually saluted the Romulan Commander before he blew up his ship, just the way Mitchum saluted Jurgens in the WWII flick, but it was cut from the episode.

With respect to True Lies, I suggest you view the earlier film Who Was That Lady? with Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, and tell me if it doesn’t remind you of something. :wink:

The same is true of Bedtime Story with David Niven, Marlon Brando, and Shirley Jones.

How do you find the time to watch anything new?

Just off the top of my head…

A Matter of Life and Death
A Canterbury Tale
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
Robin and Marian
Master and Commander the Far Side of the World
Some Like It Hot
Knightriders
The Maggie
Local Hero
Restless Natives
The Man Who Would Be King
Zulu
A Night to Remember
Quatermass and the Pit
The Wicker Man
I Know Where I’m Going
The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes
The Cruel Sea

Probably loads more if i really think about it.

I live in a cave and never leave.

Several of the movies in my top 10 or 20 of my Flickchart list, I have watched several times just because they have been favourites for years:

Network
Heart in Winter (Un Coeur en Hiver)
Double Indemnity
Naked
Brazil
Slacker
Blue Velvet
Baraka

But if you look at my list, nearly half of my top 10 is not listed above–I’ve seen them once, hold them in extremely high esteem, but don’t feel the pull to see them again.

There is one movie that isn’t even in my top 50 (though it’s close, at 53) that I have seen a ton of times and enjoy seeing over and over, appropriately enough: Groundhog Day.

Then there’s Rocky Horror, but that’s a special case.

Weirdly, because I don’t even think it’s that great a movie, I find it impossible to click away from A Few Good Men if it’s on.

I’ve never once gone out of my way to see it, but if I watch it for a minute, I’m hooked until the end. And because it’s played so often on cable, I’m in a weird situation where I’ve seen the end of the movie literally 40 or 50 times, but only seen the beginning once. :stuck_out_tongue:

Destination Tokyo is better.

The original Dawn of the Dead (1979?)

Wasn’t that remade as a Star Trek episode?

“Balance of Terror,” Season 1, Episode 8:
