The hate threads are too negative for me. Which movies have you watched multiple times…because you like them?
The movies can be obscure.
My partial list…
Genghis Cohn
Stardust Memories
The Stunt Man
All That Jazz
Fried Green Tomatoes
The Kid (Charlie Chaplin)
Swing Time
Duck Soup
As Good As It Gets
Dogma
Legally Blonde
Bad Santa (family pick, not so much mine)
Almost Famous
Fried Green Tomatoes
The Notebook
Back to the Future
Ghost
The Sound of Music
The Godfather
Forest Gump
It’s a Wonderful Life (not as much in recent years)
Gladiator
The Help
Love Actually
Home Alone
Jurassic Park
Indiana Jones (first one)
Gone With the Wind (no longer, but in the past)
Camelot
It’s not exactly a movie, but when we get to the end of all Suchet’s, Agatha Christie, Poirot episodes, we start it over again. Endless loop. The default viewing choice.
Hook, Up, Pretty Woman, Blazing Saddles, Ruthless People, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Dog Day Afternoon, Taking of Pelham 123,
I am completely unable to change the channel if any of these movies are on:
Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
A Few Good Men
The Blind Side
Also love: The Sound of Music, Forest Gump, and Dirty Dancing
Lion in Winter
Foul Play
What’s Up Doc?
Ruthless People
Braveheart
Remember the Titans
Finding Nemo
West SIde Story
+1 on Sound of Music
Some of these are because of my children, but I’m happy to have gotten the opportunity to get drawn into their obsessions: Titanic (D1 knows every line; “strongly worded letters of protest” are now a standard part of our response to bad customer service); Love Actually; Drumline; and the original Bedazzled.
Finding Nemo, Sound of Music, Camelot, White Christmas (tho I know some hate it)
Actually, I can re-watch most musicals again and again, tho not sure about Chicago (plane landed when I was 1/3 of the way through–just as well)
Number one multiple times watched: The Godfather… I can quote pretty much every line of dialogue before the actor says it.
Number two most watched: Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I can quote that one too.
Other multiple watches:
Clueless
The Devil Wears Prada
Shakespeare in Love
Pretty Woman
Parade’s End - It was an HBO mini-series rather than a movie, but thanks to Amazon Prime I have watched all 6 episodes over and over.
Movies for which I watch parts of the movie or certain scenes (mostly battle scenes) over and over but not the whole movie:
Sand Pebbles - the battle in which the ship sails up river to break through the boom and rescue Candice Bergen.
Saving Private Ryan - the opening Omaha Beach fight
The Patriot - the first 3rd of the movie
Gladiator - the opening battle against the Germans but nothing after Maximus gets wounded and sold into slavery.
Master and Commander - again the opening battle but not the rest of the movie.
Because I love these movies and see something new in them every time I watch… in no particular order
Fanny and Alexander
Volver
Dr. Strangelove
Lolita
The Godfather
Casablanca
