Actually inspired by [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=521778), and also inspired by the movie I watched last night. For me it’s 2 main movies, Airplane! and Stranger Than Fiction. I love Airplane cuz I think it is the funniest movie ever, but more recently I just can’t get enough of “Stranger”. I can watch it over and over again (and continually do) and I love it every time. So what is your “over and over” again movie? ---

> [@gonzomax](#): > > Oh God Where art Thou Is that the one starring John Turturro and George Burns? 😛 Mine are **Sharky’s Machine** , **To Live and Die in L.A.** , **Sleepy Hollow** , and about half a dozen Hammer Horror films. On edit: Just to say that I’m with the OP. I _loved_ **Stranger Than Fiction**. Give Will Ferrell a script that doesn’t read like it was written by slow-tracked seventh graders in detention, and the man can fucking _act!_ Why doesn’t he do more of these kinds of movies? ---

I came in here to post “Stranger Than Fiction.” I generally watch it once a month. ---

I’m not much of a repeat movie watcher, but my favorite never get tired of movie is **Dr. Strangelove**. Jesus Christ, there is not a bit of that movie that’s not pitch perfect. On the other hand, I like almost every Will Ferrell movie 'cause I’m a 12 year old at heart. ---

Isn’t the obvious answer _ **Groundhog Day** _? ---

**Stardust** , because I think it is awesome in every way. **Rounders** because… I don’t know… I guess I just like it. Ditto on **Stranger Than Fiction**. I think the whole “flours” thing is brilliant. ---

_This is Spinal Tap_ and _Pink Floyd: The Wall_. What can I say, I like to rock. _Idiocracy_ too. ---

The Producers. Just thinking of Zero’s great big head with his combover plastered across the front makes me laugh. ---

**Star Wars**. I’ve seen it something on the order of 200 times. (Given my screen name, I suppose this isn’t terribly surprising…) ---

All movies fall into this category for me. Probably the most viewed would be _Meet The Parents,_ _Meet The Fockers,_ _Me, Myself and Irene,_ _Bully_, _The Talented Mr. Ripley_ and _Alpha Dog._ I’ve watched the first two probably about sixty times each, the third probably fifty times, the fourth probably around fifty times, and the last two probably thirty times each. _Fargo_ and _The Forty Year Old Virgin_ are runners up for probably 25 times each, though the latter might be closer to 40, it’s hard for me to remember. ---

The _Back To The Future_ trilogy. _Finding Nemo_. And, this is kind of strange, but the _Bottom: Live_ DVDs. ---

Lately, it’s been “O Brother Where Art Thou?” I watch it mostly for the soundtrack & accurate caricatures of the 1930’s Mississippi populace. ---

**A Bucket Of Blood**. That’s the first one that came to mind. Also, in no particular order and only a few: **The Forbidden Zone 12 O’Clock High Father Goose Operation Petticoat Mister Roberts Down By Law Stranger Than Paradise Dead Man Night Of The Living Dead The Italian Job** (The original one)… And a host of others. ---

I am in the “me too” category,Emma Thompson is awesome in this movie,shoulda won an Oscar. Catch Me If You Can is another I watch often. ---

The wife and I watch “A Good Year” every couple of months. We’re not really Russel Crowe fans but we make an exception for this movie. ---

I know you will think I am kidding but my top 3 are: 1. Being John Malkovich 2. Orgazmo (Parker and Stone at their finest) 3. Ishtar (Paul Williams wrote all the songs and I know them by heart) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-you-watch-over-and-over-and-over-again/500539.md?page=2)
