"So what movie or movies?" Topic

Can you watch over and over? I don't care about critical acclaim, Rotten Tomatoes, etc. What is your favorite? Call it a Cult Classic or whatever. What movie or movies have you watched MANY times? The top three for me would be The 13th Warrior, The Mummy (Brendan Frasier), and Serenity. I have no idea why, but I just can't get sick of them.

Top three for me and my wife are: Galaxy Quest, Paul and Fanboys. We watch them every holidays. I'm sure that you can see the common theme here.

Keeping to wargaming, Run Silent Run Deep.
I just finished it now. Splendid.

Maltese Falcon and Christmas Story.

I watch all of those, but also the Godfather, Seventh son, Master of the world, Assassination bureau, Hawk the slayer the Gentlemen or most anything by Guy Ritchie and most all of Quintin Tarantino stuff, coming up for Halloween Trick R Treat. and so many many more

Trying to stay honest with myself and only list movies I have intentionally watched repeated times. Not necessarily the best, but fun to watch over again.

Conan the Barbarian
The 13th Warrior
Excalibur
The Lord of the Rings (actually the cartoon movie)
Jesus Christ Superstar (the music is really good)

I don't watch movies over and over. That being said, however:

I have seen Aliens at least 4 times and Blade Runner at least 3, both in various versions.

I've probably seen The Great Escape at least 3 times.

I have intentionally watched The Seventh Seal, Stalker, and The Seven Samurai at least 3 times each.

So that's a list:

Great Escape
The Seventh Seal
Stalker
The Seven Samurai
