Dr. Strangelove
A Fistfull of Dollars
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Fantasia
The Thing From Another Planet
The Holy Grail (Python at their best!)
- The Game (as long as I see it from the beginning)
- Groundhog Day “Well what if there is no tomorrow there wasnt one today?”
- Braveheart
- The Breakfast Club
- Stripes
- Animal House
- Coming to America (if it were on anymore, what happened to this)
But by far the biggest offender is Trading Places. I watch it everytime without fail, till the very end of the credits to see if its on again. I dont know of any other movie that i know every word to, yet still laugh at everytime. “It aint cool bein no jive turkey so close to thanksgivin Yea”

Anything Monty Python
Groundhog Day
Fargo (oh yah, you betcha!)
Spinal Tap
Any of the James Bond movies with Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton or Pierce Brosnan. (Roger Moore is creepy)
The Stand
Shawshank Redemption
Darwin’s Finch, many of my friends were extras in Heaven and Earth. It was filmed near my hometown while I was in high school. Most of them stole their costumes. Bad, bad Samurai!

You can’t get enough of the ones you love.
Atreyu, what about Never Ending Story? I would have thought to see that on your list.
Well, here’s a list for starters:
Lawrence of Arabia
Dr Zhivago
Princess Bride
Butch Cassady and the Sundance Kid
The Sting
Star Trek II and IV (well, I’ll admit, I even get sucked in by the bad ones as well)
Star Wars and the Empire Strikes Back
The Muppet Movie
The Muppets Take Manhattan
Galaxy Quest
It’s a Wonderful Life
Tron
Sneakers
probably a bunch of others, but it’s too late to try to think of them… man, I feel like a thief, at least half of these I was… um… gently reminded of by previous posts.
Dogma
Fight Club
South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
Gladiator
I think these have been mentioned, but:
Casablanca
Pleasantville
Grosse Pointe Blank
Home for the Holidays (1995)
American Beauty
The Usual Suspects
Trainspotting
I like the book a lot more than the movie. The movie is OK, but it is only the first half of the book, and not even the most interesting half.
In any case, the movie version is not quite in the category of movies that I feel compelled to watch again and again. The book, however, is in that category of books that I re-read frequently…about once a year in fact.
None of what I just said will keep me from getting The Neverending Story when it comes out on DVD.
Many excellent choices listed already, but I must mention one that I never tire of watching:
*One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
Also a little off the OP, videos that I own and watch over and over…
Fight Club
and Dazed and Confused
I watch Fight Club about once every two weeks. I’m sure I’ve seen it 100 times by now.
