I watch lots of movies multiple times! But the only ones that I had to watch when I wanted so I bought the DVD were
Moonstruck
Love Actually
Bridget Jones Diary
I only watch Love Actually at Xmas…but the other two I’ve watched at least 20 times, I know more. I got burnt out so haven’t in awhile. I might put Moonstruck on tonight since we’re going to NYC in 2 months!
I apologize if it’s been mentioned but
Little Miss Sunshine
And we will laugh until we cry, every time.
Did anyone say
Apocalypse Now
My H loves
The Last Waltz, which he thinks is the best concert movie made.
My short list ( previous post upthread) is a list of what we watch over and over…we own the DVDs and Blu-rays of our favs. Because sometimes when it is in TV the film has been edited.
Some of our favorites have not been released to Blu ray yet so we suffer with the DVD!
Did recently get Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile on blu ray
Groundhog Day
Blast from the Past
Innerspace***** LOVE this movie
Three Musketeers and Robin Hood
Beauty and the Beast disney animated
IQ still not out on blu ray
and need to trade The Rocketeer from DVD to blu ray still pricey
Talledega Nights (we live in NC so it is sooo funny to us)
and a few years back Target had all the Harry Potter movies in a complete pack on blu ray for $14.99 so we watch them the week before Halloween every year
We do have the complete sets of Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, Fast and Furious and few others on blu ray but don’t necessarily watch these as much as the others. As far as Star Wars we kept the original trilogy on VHS and then DVD, Han shot first, these have been watch hundreds of times!
We typically have something running in the background but it can distract if it is one of the very favorites. We do watch Elf and Fred Claus year-round. And September marks the start of the holiday season so I always start with the Holiday. I actually like Jack Black in this one, that and Kung Fu Panda, that is a Christmas movie to be watched with many,many dumplings!
We too watch Firefly over and over always commencing with Serenity. This year we went to a special screening with all the brown coats in attendence. Same theater offered the Back to the Future trilogy in October and that was tons of fun!
We are that family that loves the movies so much that you have to parse out conversations that are littered with movie quotes, yes it is that bad!

If A Few Good Men is on TV, it doesn’t need to be actively watched per se but it needs to be monitored so that the “you can’t handle the truth!” scene is seen. And then that means we pretty much work that line into every conversation the rest of the day.
“Should we or should we not follow the advice of the galactically stupid” is another great line from AFGM.
A few more that folks reminded me of:
Longest Day
Shawshank Redemption
Blast from the Past
Kinky Boots
Thought of these overnight:
Independence Day
My Neighbor Totoro
Munich
We really do love movies, have watched everything I’ve posted about multiple times, and will watch them again.
When I was growing up in MA, every Sunday morning at 10:30 am the local station (we didn’t have cable) would play an Abbot & Costello movie. I never missed watching it, and it’s probably why I love screwball comedies so much, or why I like the Andrews Sisters :P.
Who’s on first?
^^Same thing growing up in NYC in the 70s. WPIX Channel 11 every Sunday at noon would be the Abbott and Costello movies. Channel 5 would show the Bowery Boys.
This isn’t speaking for myself, but the idea of watching a movie multiple times reminds me of my 29 year old daughter. She has watched Mighty Ducks (and various sequels) and Cool Runnings countless times. She did so growing up and then every time she would come home from college or grad school, she had to watch them again.
The Lion King : I own the original VHS tape and I take out our video player every time I feel nostalgic. I know every song by heart.
Home Alone: Never gets old. Kind of makes you want to live in the 90’s forever.
Harry Potter (all): I know every single line. EVERY. SINGLE. LINE. My family won’t even watch it if I’m around because I (annoyingly) say the lines along with the actors. Will probably watch till I die.
X2: X-Men United: I’m a fan of the entire X-men franchise , but this is my favorite movie of theirs. I think Famke Janssen is an excellent actress.
Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married: I like this more than his Madea movies.
The Day After Tomorrow: One of my favorite disaster movies.
Anything Steve Martin, especially: Father of the Bride, Bringing Down the House and Cheaper by the Dozen.
Mad Money: I watch this for all the wrong reasons.
Die Hard 4: The best one in the series.
Casino Royale: The only Bond movie I actually liked.
Bring it On: Whenever it’s on TV. Their cheers are hilarious.
Obsessed: Just for the fight scene.
Twilight: When I want to skip class but can’t bring myself to push my finger down my throat.
@GMTplus7 Don’t you just hate Rome’s ending? I felt sorry for Servilia and I think Attia needs to get her comeuppance. I kind of did like Octavian though and I thought Pullo was hilarious.

I’m trying to think of one in this century…
Not sure why, but I usually dont watch many movies more than once. There are a few exceptions: Citizen Kane, War and Peace, Shawhank Redemption, Inglorious Bastards, Clueless, Newsies, and White Christmas.
The last three are my kids’ favorites, which they watched many times–in fact, they know all the lines and can still sing all the sings in White Christmas. I have great videos of them singing “Sisters.”
“Netflix and Amazon really drop the ball when it come to making film classics available for streaming>>>>”
Yeah, it amazes me how many movies are hard to find on streaming, but I can’t blame Netflix and Amazon, most of that is the rights holders, who quite frankly are living in the mode of “if we make it available for streaming it will be stolen”…either that, or it is sheer laziness. One movie like that was “The African Queen” (another of those I’ve watched a million times over the years). I have the same beef with Broadway musicals,I don’t know who is more stupid, the producers of the shows or the unions, all Broadway musicals have taped archives for them, going back many years, yet due to the way the rights on those worked, they cannot be commercially shown (a number are available at the NY Public Library branch at Lincoln Center, but only are available to researchers). Those old movies (and musicals) are treasures, to say the least. We still live in a half baked world, half into the modern times of streaming, half living in the dark ages (on the other hand, I just bought a tube amplifier to go along with my turntable lol).
Some more of mine,
Star Wars movies (well, the original, the prequels I can’t watch without riff trax)
Star Trek movies (the even ones, the good ones)
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
Someone mentioned October Sky, that is another one (though I always have problems where they have Chris Cooper playing a villain or an a-hole, he is too nice a guy lol)
Yep, the Die Hard movies (the first 2, didn’t like 3, didn’t see 4), again a TV thing
African Queen (that, along with Dr. Strangelove, would often come on tv when I was growing up at like 2am on Channel 5 in NYC, my parents would get us up to watch them)
The great Escape (the movie is the draw, but that music is just outrageous)
Burn After Reading
A Few Good men (like someone else, for the scenes with Jack Nicholson, who without breaking a sweat, made Tom Cruise look like what he is, mediocre)
Pirate Radio
Almost Famous (the director’s version), and both memorable cause of Phillip Seymour Hoffman especially
Amadeus (Historically crappy, but oh the Music)
Copying Beethoven (Ed Harris must have paid them to do this one, he had so much fun…and again the music)
Saving Private Ryan (in part, because he was a WWII veteran, and said that it came somewhat close to reality in the brutality of war)
Kelly’s Heroes (idiotic, but what the heck, and Donald Sutherland always got my dad laughing a lot, especially with the scene where they trade for the Tiger Tank, and says “It’s a beautiful tank, Moriarity”…in part because my dad was part of a WWII tank crew)
Patton (For watching George C scott chew up the scenery)
MASH
These are the movies I actually have watched a lot, like i wrote in my original post, the ones I tend to watch now over and over are the ones that always seem to be on TV.
Lol, There’s a key scene in this unwatchable movie? 
@2VU0609 wrote “Nancy Meyers movies - It’s Complicated, Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday. Love the sets!”
There are Pinterest boards dedicated to the sets of Nancy Meyers movies.
One can still get DVD’s from Netflix like before. My son does that. But they just don’t offer all the movies for streaming.
Great Escape
Indiana Jones
Star Wars
For a Few Dollars More
Once upon a time in the west
Sahara (Humphrey Bogart)
And various other war movies from the 40s, 50s, and 60s.
edit: forgot to add some guilty pleasures: Fast Times and Ridgemont High, and Cars
@deb922 The first time we watched Little Miss Sunshine, we were laughing so hard we were crying tears! So completely unexpected ending that movie!
