At the absolute top of the list is The Big Lebowski. I’m pretty sure it gets funnier every time I watch it. Also, pretty much any other Coen bros. movie, and: Ghostbusters Alien or Aliens (I can’t sit all the way through 3 or 4) The Holy Trilogy The Blues Brothers Conan the Barbarian ( **not** The Destroyer) Superman 1 or 2 Braveheart Raiders or Lost Crusade, but not Temple of Doom …there are others, but that’s all I can think of at the moment. Man, that list ain’t gonna impress any film students, is it? ---

_Apocalypse Now_ Everytime I see it, I pick up something else. I could also easily see again: _Das Boot Casablanca Full Metal Jacket Pvt. Ryan_ Hmmm…, a lot of war, a lot of _Heart of Darkness_… Oh well, I’m a guy. ---

There aren’t many movies I’ve seen _that_ many times; a few of the ones I have I’m sort of burnt out on (Ed Wood’s entire _oeuvre_, for instance). The movie I’ve probably seen more times than any other, and that I still will watch when I come across it on the tube or pop into the VCR every couple of years is _Local Hero_. It took about six or seven times before I felt like I had noticed every subtle joke or sight gag. I’m probably up to 15 or 16 viewings by now, not counting times that I’ve caught a few minutes on TV, and I still enjoy it every time. Partly it’s a function of memories associated with when and where and with whom I first saw it (Somerville Theatre, Somerville, MA, summer of 1985 – saw it three times in about a week) but mainly it’s just that there’s something about Bill Forsyth’s sensibility that strikes a chord with me, even more so in _Local Hero_ than his other films (though _Housekeeping_ is a favorite of mine as well). Others include the first few movies in the _Thin Man_ series, _Sullivan’s Travels_, _His Girl Friday_,_It Happened One Night_, _Double Indemnity_, _Duck Soup_, _The Cocoanuts_ (an unfashionable choice, I know, but there are reasons), _Some Like It Hot_, _Touch of Evil_, _Dr. Strangelove_, _Robocop_, _The Princess Bride_, _Much Ado about Nothing_ (though I walk out during Michael Keaton’s scenes), _Bull Durham_, and _A League of Their Own_. ---

It would be hard to have a SDMB film festival that everyone could agree on . . . Films I have on tape and watch over and over again: Now, Voyager and/or Brief Encounter (great tear-jerkers) Intolerance Marlene: A Film Three-Cornered Moon and/or Million Dollar Legs (great screwball comedies) 42nd Street and/or Gold Diggers of 1933 Dinner at Eight Airplane! Broadway Melody The Man in the Silk Hat (Max Linder documentary) ---
