> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by theuglytruth \* > \*\*Goodfellas > Wall Street > Roadhouse (please dont ask why) > \*\* Oh, please tell us! Is it because Sam Elliot is such a hunk, no matter how “rode hard and put up wet” he looks? That’s what I think! ::drool:: I love him in that western with Katherine Ross, about the lonely woman and her son, and she ties love poems to the tumbleweeds. Or is it Kelly Lynch, the blonde doctor? Or maybe you like Patrick Swayze? (I can’t tell if you’re male or female from your username.) Or is it when the polar bear falls on that fat guy? Roadhouse is a good movie! Don’t apologize for liking it. ---

I’ve seen “Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid” a whole lot. It’s so romantic and funny, and one of the few US movies to show South America. For a while it was the only tape I owned, handed down from one of my brothers when I was too young to buy them. Now I’m just too uninterested to buy movies. I rent them, and haven’t rented any twice. ---

Dirty Dancing Pretty Woman Ghost The Goonies American Beauty (I watched it ten times the first weekend I rented it!) Radio Flyer A Christmas Story (one year they played it for 24 hours straight…I only missed two showings!) Lady & the Tramp Casablanca And I loooooooove Encino Man, although that is painfully humiliating to admit, because I still think Brendan Frasier is the sexiest man alive, equaled only by George Clooney (I could watch ER over and over again, but you didn’t ask about TV :)) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-you-can-watch-over-and-over-again/38010.md?page=2)
