Well, I guess I’ll put _Stranger Than Fiction_ in the queue. I always end up watching at least part of _Beetlejuice, The Princess Bride, Swingers, Office Space, Stand By Me_ and _Clueless_ when they’re on TV. Or at least every fourth or fifth time. So every month or so. ---

Good Will Hunting. About twice a year. I don’t think I could stand doing that with any other movie, but Will Hunting? Can’t get tired of it. ---

OMG, nobody’s mentioned _The Princess Bride_ yet??? I was elated to discover just yesterday that it recently became available on Blu-Ray; upgrading to HDTV shortly, and this will be one of a very very few movies I will buy on Blu-Ray. ---

> [@rwhbyu](#): > > **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. I feel the same about Rounders…I’m not entirely sure why _I have to watch it_ whenever it’s on. I mean, I’m not really into poker and while the acting is great, it’s not something that would draw me in time after time. ---

Grosse Point Blank and the Blues Brothers. I can watch them over and over again. Not even my favorite movies, but they just don’t get boring. ---

_The Man Who Would Be King_ is the big standout. I watch it easily 5-6 times a year. My son insists on watching _The Spongebob Squarepants Movie_ at least once a month. ---

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen **The Third Man** , but it’s several dozen. I’ve seen it more than any other movie, and continue to watch it 2 or 3 times a year. ---

- Trainspotting\*- about 5 times a year since it first came out on VHS 🙂 _Lonesome Dove_- at least twice a year _Rounders_- whenever it’s on TV _Office Space_- Ditto Most of the Jane Austen type flicks- especially: _Sense & Sensibility_ (Emma Thompson version) \*Persuasion \*(BBC version with Amanda Root). _Pride & Prejudice_ (BBC version with hot Colin Firth scene) ---

Something I just not realized in this thread… There are a crapload of people who simply adore Stranger Than Fiction. I seriously thought I was the only one who liked this movie as much as I do. I know others who have seen it, but I never knew so many people _liked_ the thing as much as I. ---

\*It’s a Wonderful Life \*- Is that one so obvious that nobody felt the need to list it? _The Princess Bride._ - The second most perfect example. _Stranger Than Fiction._ I really don’t know why because I could do without Will Ferrell. That movie just works somehow. _Aliens_ _Zulu_ So many more, a lot of them list by others. There are a lot of movies I never think aobut until I walk into the room and they are on TV. I can sit down in the middle and just go from there. ---
