As a matter of fact, I just had the opportunity to watch my favorite move of all time last night,--a special 50th anniversary screening of To Kill A Mockingbird--and the best part. . . I was able to spend the evening with Mary Badham--aka Scout Finch.

Oh Yeah. Add Apollo 13 and Rudy to my list.

The 50th anniversary screening of To Kill a Mockingbird takes place on Nov. 15 at many locations around the country. I've already found where it's to be shown around here. Looking forward to it.

So many. Office Space, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, Vacation, The Jerk, Father of the Bride (both versions) Grease (1&2!) I don't usually like to watch really emotional movies over and over but will watch Steel Magnolias if it's on.
I can also rewatch episodes of Friends, Sex and the City and Gilmore Girls. I can't also re read my favorite books!

Singing in the Rain, all the Harry Potter movies, this time of year White Christmas, Love Actually and While I was Sleeping

There are quite a few but some that come to mind are Shawshank Redemption, Alive, A Time To Kill, and Fried Green Tomatoes

Jaws, Rocky, and my guilty pleasure, Bring It On.

I forgot all about Jaws!!! See, I said there were a lot. I think I've seen that movie at least 20 times.

My all time favorite book and movie, To Kill A Mockingbird. I never tire of it. At Christmas time, I watch A White Christmas and A Christmas Story. Other than those movies, I don't enjoy watching anything more than once.

ETA: I'm jealous! I plan to go to Munroeville, AL (Harper Lee's birthplace) in April or May to see their yearly production of To Kill A Mockingbird. I was so disappointed last year when I missed out on the special performance where I could have met Mary Badham. My husband had purchased a first edition book for me several years ago for Christmas and I would love to meet her and have her sign it.

I agree that Goodfellas and National Lampoon's Vacation are great for re-watching.

What about movies (or movie scenes) that move you to tears every single time? For me some of them are: the liftoff in Apollo 13; the end of Shadowlands (Anthony Hopkins); a certain scene in Terms of Endearment; the ending of Places in the Heart....

Groundhog Day, GWTW, All about Eve, Charade, On the Town, The Gay Divorce, The Letter, Holiday Inn, Double Indemnity. #10 is To Kill a Mockingbird, which we're going to see on the big screen on November 15th! So excited.

If any of the above movies happen to be on when I'm channel surfing, I have to stop and see it through the end. I can make any day better by putting one of them in the DVD player.

I love the CC movie threads - thanks for starting this one, MommaJ.

Interesting.

I just realized how few movies I've seen compared to many of you and how seldom I watch even my favorites over a time or two.

I'm thinking I'll use this thread to up my movie cred.

There are some movies that I love to watch again depending on my mood, like Taxi Driver and The Deer Hunter, but I have to be in the right frame of mind.

I like to watch Donnie Brasco once in awhile maybe because of the Florida connections.
