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

    Too many to count, and more than I even remember.

    I went without internet in an area not friendly to children being outside, so I watched movies in no particular order over and over. Just “yeah I haven’t watched this in a few weeks” and re-watch.

    Lord of The Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, Monty Python (all), Princess Bride, MIB, Evolution, Terminator 1&2, Starship Trooper… Honestly most popular Sci fi movies from the 90s… The sound of music, fiddler on the roof, a bunch of musicals…

    I’m sure I watched the classic disney movies many times.

    I know people who buy watch a movie and then don’t feel like watching any of them ever again.

    Drömkåken, starring the Swedish actor legend Björn Skifs (also known from the Ouga-shaka song “Hooked on a feeling”). Truly a masterpiece in every aspect; acting, direction, editing, special effects, soundtrack. Pure gold.

    I have a lot.

    One that gets almost no love anywhere is “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”

    I get that Brangelina was already played out before the movie even opened, but it’s well worth a look. Enough comedy, action, and romance for three separate movies.

    the three lotr, its a wonderful life, miracle on 34th street all versions, the orginal star wars trilogy, star trek one and two and four, ladyhawke, up, princess bride, close encounters of the third kind, alien, aliens, forbidden planet, raiders of the lost ark, rocky horror picture show, charlie brown specials, grinch who stole chrismass cartoons, frosty cartoons, the blues brothers, original dune movie, all the monty pythons I know of (grail, brian, yellowbeard, meaning of life), time bandits, spaceballs, terminator 1 and 2, yellow submarine, airplane1+2, top secret. Maybe it should be limited to post 2000. Thing is when you go back there are things broadcast every year or when they were broadcast you made it a point to catch it then in the age of video cassetes if you did not find anything you felt like that week for the weekend you maybe picked up something you liked or you had a friend who had not seen it or something. Not as much came out every year and in addition as more comes out the total pool is way larger. so it is harder to rewatch things. Like I think I have only watch the harry potters twice but drop them into the 90’s and im sure they would have been a regular pickup or i would have owned them. That being said there are some older movies that are just classics to and there is a reason you went out of your way to catch it broadcast.

    There’s plenty of movies that I like to rewatch, and most have been mentioned here already.

    But the first movie I remember rewatching over and over again when I was little, was Labyrinth.
    Funny enough I haven’t seen it in more than thirty years. It’s mostly nostalgia vibes by now, but I remember being in love with that movie back then.

    BTTF trilogy

    Return to Oz (Mostly, I commented to say this, because no one else has yet.)

    Most of James Bond

    Along with many of the others already mentioned, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t include Miracle on 34th Street (1947), probably all of the Charlie Brown Specials, A Christmas Story, Frosty the Snowman, The Grinch who Stole Christmas, and probably several others, just because as a kid we watched them every holiday. I’m sure there’s more on this list, but I’m old.

    I’ve also watched the first season of Altered Carbon at least three times, and Rick and Morty, Archer, and others.

    The first Transporter movie just for the pure nostalgia. If I’m flicking through channels on tv and it’s playing, I will sit there and watch it even with commercials running.

    Very very few. I don’t usually rewatch anything.
    The few that stand out are: The Usual Suspects, Star Wars series (first 6), Die Hard (first 2), some others maybe.

    I don’t think I ever rewatched a series though. No patience for that.

    Tropic Thunder The Nightmare Before Christmas Hocus Pocus Dr. Doolittle Does Titanic count if I watched it for Leonardo DiCaprio reasons? 😂

    I watch TNBC every year, usually for Halloween and Christmas. Used to watch Hocus Pocus for the same reason.
