I haven’t known what movies to watch lately. Does everyone have their own treasure movies that they’ve seen many times? 😀

    Lots.

    The OG Star Wars (4, 5, 6)

    Shawshank Redemption

    Edge Of Tomorrow

    Top Gun

    Princess Bride (top 5 sword fight!)

    Most all of Pixar’s stuff, and Dreamwork’s kids movies. My kids grew up with them.

    Sleepy Hollow (Depp/Ricci version)

    The Departed

    Rob Roy (another top 5 sword fight)

    Dune (original ‘80s version)

    Alien/Aliens/Alien 3

    Tron

    Goonies

    Rat Race

    Lost Boys

    Robin Hood: Men in Tights

    The Breakfast Club

    Ferris Buellers Day Off

    Deadpool

    The LOTR trilogy

    Blade Runner - both films

    Heist (a lesson in writing a script consisting of one-liners)

    Ocean’s 11

    The Name Of The Rose

    The Last Mohican

    Master And Commander

    5th Element

    Any of the Monty Python films, but especially Quest for the Holy Grail

    That’s a start.

    If I had to whittle it down to absolute favorites: Princess Bride, Monty Python, and OG Star Wars.

      How do you manage to watch the OG star wars more than twice? I saw New Hope in the theatre. I saw the next one in the theatre and almost walked out. I saw the third one and thought OK I can deal with this, but not great.

      Then I re-watched a New Hope again and realized, this is a boring movie.

        10 seconds thought would have stopped you from making this comment.

        These are some of my favorites I’m sharing, not yours. Ain’t nobody making you watch any of them.

    Muppet Treasure Island
    A Muppet Christmas Carol
    The Princess Bride
    The Great Mouse Detective (the most faithful movie adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, fight me)
    Inception
    Ghost in the Shell
    The Little Mermaid, but not by choice. It was my little sister’s favorite movie and she would genuinely watch the VHS tape of it, rewind it, and then watch it again immediately. My brothers and I once entertained ourselves on a family road trip by quoting the whole movie, word for word.

    Master And Commander: The Far Side of the Earth.

    It’s a war movie with an all male cast, and the manliest moment in it is when the Doctor who is doing surgery on himself to remove a bullet from his chest, looks at the captain who is assisting and asks “Are you alright?” And the marine that accidentally shot him is anxiously waiting outside the tent to make sure he’s okay. GAH I’m going to the store and buying some beer and some popcorn and I’m watching a movie tonight.

    Evil Dead 2

    Dr Strangelove

    I watched Blade Runner many times, and I still think its crap. Although I like what it is trying to say.

    Monty Python movies. All of them.

    Spinal Tap

    Fritz the Cat

    Return of the Living Dead

    So many more if I think about it.

    i don’t even have an answer for that. but i grew up pre-internet and owned lots of video tapes.

    i’m marveling at the notion that there may be people who haven’t rewatched movies a lot?

      My son really liked that one, and he would watch it over and over. I can’t even guess how many times I’ve watched it at this point. Although that number pales in comparison to Wall-e. Before he moved on to How To Train Your Dragon, he would watch WALL-E literally on repeat. I used to whisper little prayers of thanks to whatever caused his little brain to fixate on Wall-e rather than some of the other movies he could have fixated on.

      I have Toothless on a t-shirt and so few people recognise it it’s crazy. Not even the kids these days! I love that character so much

      Inception I’ve seen like 6 times. Best one was at our restored theater with a great sound system. Sat up front by the middle sub under stage. The launch was awesome.

    Pretty much any studio Ghibli movie. Have watched spirited away, Totoro, howls moving castle, valley of the wind, and many more more than 3x. Don’t often rewatch stuff but have a soft spot for ghibli!
