Goodfellas. Which is a goddamned trap because that movie is about three days long and I’ll flip past the whole “walking into the club” segment and think “I gotta watch this” and then, before you know it, it’s Thursday night.
Zombieland is another that’ll always suck me in but, thankfully, that’s a short movie.
Bunches of others but those are two I seem to come across on TV fairly regularly which use their black hole powers on me.
Tombstone. I’ve no idea how many times I’ve watched it, enough to know the script almost off by heart. Almost every line is genius, and Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday is the best piece of acting I’ve ever seen.
Fido from whence came “ZomCon”.
The Shawshank Redemption
Parenthood
My Blue Heaven
Boogie Nights
From Dusk Till Dawn
Ghostbusters
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
This Is Spinal Tap
Tremors

Oh, I forgot my bad movies worth repeating…
Independence Day – watching it is my only fairly frequent masochistic behavior. I’m not really sure why.
The Wicker Man (remake) – so hilariously awful I find new awfulness to laugh at every time.
All the Universal Monster classics–mostly for nostalgia’s sake, but at times you find some little gem therein that you never saw before.
Stripes
Smokey and the Bandit
Blues Brothers
Just a few ones I’ve watched recently:
Quiz Show
The Piano
Out of Africa
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Year of Living Dangerously
And what would a list like this be without:
Tremors, the best “worst” movie of all times.
Little Miss Sunshine, Life of Pi, Master and Commander: The far Side of the World, What About Bob?, Sideways, Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan, and more, but those spring to mind first.
I can watch Commando infinity times.
Off the top of my head:
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Godfather I and II
Goodfellas
12 Monkeys
Brazil
The Usual Suspects
Lawrence of Arabia
North by Northwest
Vertigo
This Is Spinal Tap
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Howard’s End
Fight Club
Glengarry Glen Ross
Dr. Strangelove
Goldfinger
The Producers
Young Frankenstein
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I’m sure I’ll think of some others later.
Jaws
The Right Stuff
It’s A Wonderful Life
The Matrix
Hot Fuzz; the more you watch it the more you appreciate the editing, soundtrack (music and effects), and of course that classic Wright/Pegg foreshadowing. Mmm, delicious foreshadowing. Shaun of the Dead is good for that too, but it doesn’t hit me the way Hot Fuzz does. We’ll find out at Christmas time if The World’s End works for repeat viewings too- I only saw it once in theaters, and I enjoyed it immensely, so I hope it does.
I also watch Love Actually far more than I should, but I don’t know how much repeat value it has artistically, beyond just being a great piece of emotional manipulation. It’s the only holiday movie I have to watch every year.
I’m going to add Dances With Wolves. Costner gets a lot of hate nowadays, but that was one fine movie, and it still grabs me if I chance upon it. As does Little Big Man.
Some silents are worth rewatching.
The Kid with Chaplin. Who knew Uncle Fester was once a cute little kid?
Our Hospitality with Buster Keaton, featuring the world’s greatest movie train.
The Kid Brother with Harold Lloyd, where he gets the best of his bullying brothers.
The Rocketeer
Rocketship X-M
Flight to Mars
The Core
Films with solid twists are definately worth viewing multiple times.
As soon as I finished watching The Prestige, I immediately watched it again (who needs sleep?）
