<p>Hhhhmmm. Major diff between me and my DH - he can watch any number of movies over and over and over. I hate that. There are a few movies that I can watch over and over, and these aren’t necessarily the BEST movies I’ve ever seen - I would have 2 different lists. The few that would cross both lists - </p>
<p>My Fair Lady
To Kill a Mockingbird
Gone with the Wind
Pirates of the Caribbean (don’t ask, just go with it)
Pride and Prejudice
Raiders
The Sting
The Cowboys (my favorite JW movie, except maybe for below)
The Quiet Man</p>
<p>I’ve mentioned this before, but I think Sunset Boulevard is one of the great movies from the 1950’s and William Holden is just fabulous in it.</p>
<p>I could (and have) watch this movie repeatedly.</p>
<p>I forgot Gone With the Wind! Thanks for the reminder of one my favorites, Cangel!</p>
<p>Everything by Monty Python! Only someone as well-read as FountainSiren could possibly understand all the references on the first go-round.</p>
<p>The Sixth Sense was another one worth watching over and over, to catch the details. And the original Matrix.</p>
<p>Some of my favorites</p>
<p>The Hours
The Apostle
Glory
Driving Miss Daisy
Million Dollar Baby
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Howl’s Moving Castle
Ghost in the Shell
Ghost in the Shell: Innocence
Huozhe
Duck Soup
Apocalypse Now
Alien

The Incredibles
Birdy
Hotel Rwanda
Luther
The Matrix
The Godfather I & II
Excalibur
Ran
Watership Down
A Man for All Seasons

<p>Robin Hood - Men in Tights…I think I can recite the whole thing by now!</p>
<p>There are others, but I have no time for serious movies right now…only ones I don’t have to think about ;)</p>
<p>A few more I forgot about:
Erin Brockovich
Great Escape
Bridge Over the River Kwai
Places in the Heart
Die Hard (the first one)</p>
<p>Just adding a few from my list which haven’t been mentioned yet (so don’t go thinkin’ this list is the sum total of all my favorite movies!). Note that these aren’t all easy things to watch, nor are they all erudite, and some are even a bit dated, but… so what!</p>

A Clockwork Orange
Cyrano de Bergerac (the 1950 Jose Ferrer version)
