I thought of a few more, and ditto-ed on some other responses: The Abyss, Sneakers, The Matrix, Terminator 1 & 2, Pulp Fiction, The Mummy, and nearly all the James Bond flix. ---

Jeez! Aside from Casablanca there aren’t many old movies in your lists. I myself have a weakness for the epic movies of the 1950s and 1960s, good sf and good comedy. an incomplete list: The Seven Samurai A Man for All Seasons Spartacus Lawrence of Arabia Dr. Zhivago 2001: A Space Odyssey Forbidden Planet Arsenic and Old Lace A Night at the Opera The Last of Sheila Casablanca The Terminator Aliens Creator The Day the Earth Stood Still ---

hmm…this could turn into a relatively long list…so, going in order of my movie library (no, it’s not alphabetized) The Princess Bride The Matrix Dogma Monty Python and the Holy Grail (even if it does seem to drag on for-frickin-ever) The Life of Brian Braveheart The Wall Army of Darkness The Blues Brothers Bull Durham Stripes Caddyshack Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie Ghostbusters Star Wars/Empire/Jedi Raiders of the Lost Ark Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Die Hard History of the World, Part I (along with most early Mel Brooks movies.) South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (because I apparently have serious mental problems) The Breakfast Club Oh, hell, I give up… ---

Wow. Every movie I could think of is already listed, save one: _Robocop._ I’ve seen it over 400 times, and probably will as many more. ---

Party Girl I have seen it so many times that I know just about all of the lines. I’ve got the soundtrack and the movie poster too. Parker Posey just rules. Steel Magnolias, but I stop right before the sad part. The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I love this movie. I’m not quite sure why. But I do. The Craft. Um, Gone with the wind. It is kind of a downer but the clothes and Vivien Leigh are so beautiful. My accent is full on for at least a few days after this movie. Modern Girls… A Night at the Roxbury ---

I once watched Trainspotting four times in six days before I had to stop. Could easily do it again. Robocop and Robocop II I will never get sick of. Casablanca The Fifth Element ---

In no particular order: Dirty Dancing Die Hard I and II Lethal Weapon - all (Mel Gibson…drool…) Braveheart Roadhouse Rio Lobo? (The one with Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson, just for the singing scene.) The Man who Shot Liberty Valance Them! - Love those ants! To Kill a Mockingbird The Breakfast Club Gone With the Wind The Wizard of Oz Dances with Wolves Field of Dreams The Stand - (miniseries, but what the hell) The Caine Mutiny Top Gun Rocky Horror Picture Show Terminator I and II Risky Business - (just the beginning when Tom dances in his underwear) Steel Magnolias E.T. Scrooge - the musical Scrooged - with Bill Murray I could go on and on… I love to watch movies over and over again… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-you-can-watch-over-and-over-again/38010.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-you-can-watch-over-and-over-again/38010.md?page=3)
