5th element

I can’t not rewatch Hot Fuzz whenever it’s on telly

Shaun of the dead

You're all wrong. It's Groundhog Day.

The Princess Bride is definitely up there for me. I don't usually rewatch movies, but this is one that I'll always be glad to sit through again and again.

Without a doubt "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".

Somehow I stopped watching movies a few years ago, which kind of annoys me but we can't find time that much for a long movie. Of course binge watching TV series is another thing...

For me, the three rewatchables were:

• Stanley Kubrick: Barry Lyndon - If you're into cinematography and ultra techy perfection, this is the movie. And the main character is such an asshole.
• Celine Sciamma: Portrait of a Lady on Fire - This beautiful piece hits hard. Celine has an eye for women, and the story how the ladies take care of their own business since the beginning of time is really captivating.
• Pedro Almodóvar: All About My Mother - A queer classic. I really like the old Almodóvar telenovelas on acid, but this mid-career masterpiece has everything: the cinematography, the crazy characters and the melodrama.

Back to the Future. It has been my "watch when I'm sick at home" go-to since I was 12.

Starship troopers!

Peter Jackson's lord of the rings trilogy extended edition. I bought a 4k tv and bluray player just for the 4k release last summer I think it was. (not the shitty hobbit)

Literally Groundhog Day, it's one of my favourites and about 20 years ago I started a tradition of always watching it every Feb 2nd, and so I've watched it 20 times plus maybe half a dozen times before then.

The Matrix and Terminator 1 and 2

Interstellar. I watched it like 4 times.

Hackers and Grosse Pointe Blank. Watched it almost every night to go to bed for years on VHS.

I watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on VHS so much, it wore out the tape.

Clue got me through many a programming project.

The original Star Wars trilogy on VHS

Possibly the first Pirates of the Caribbean. Dunno exactly how many times I've watched, but it's close to 10. It's such an iconic movie, with excellent scenarios, acting, and so revolutionary at the time.
I've watched some older Pixar movies (from their golden age imo) a bunch of times, like Monsters Inc and Nemo, as well as the masterpiece Shrek 2 from DreamWorks.

Over my entire life, Spaceballs.

It's my comfort movie. I saw it when it came out on VHS back in the day, and it just killed me. Still does, particularly Candy's bits. I fucking miss that guy.

As an adult, as lame as it may seem, it's a tie between the first Avengers movie and Fight Club.

On Facebook I collect posts like this as a demonstration of how seemingly harmless questions are the answers to security questions. This one is basically code for "What is your favorite movie."

Twister The Thing Clueless Lost In Translation Jurassic Park The Edge You’ve Got Mail The Trip Galaxy Quest Scott Pilgrim The Truman Show 28 Days A Fish Called Wanda True Lies Sphere any Alien movie Practical Magic Amelie Best In Show The Shining Gone Girl Kiki’s Delivery Service The Ninth Gate Sideways Cold Comfort Farm Napoleon Dynamite Starship Troopers Contagion The Mummy Die Hard With A Vengeance Entrapment Midnight In Paris The Fifth Element Zoolander

They’re not all “good” movies, but something keeps me coming back.

How to train your dragon and Scott Pilgrim VS the world. The first was a great date movie with incredible score and the second I just love that film so much and wanted to show everyone I knew who hadn't watched it.

Home alone and or die hard, We watch them every Christmas.

Howl's Moving Castle. I had an obsession with it at the time.

I don't rewatch movies often, but in order of most rewatched: Gattaca, Sicario, Drive, Pulp fiction, Hamilton, Les Mis, China Town, 21/22 jump street, other guys, step brothers, the nice guy, the princess bride..

Not a movie but Band of Brothers is on top of the annual revisit list for the past 15 years

Closely followed by 5th Element & Starship Troopers

The Martin Freeman hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, easily. I watch that every year on my birthday

The Thing,

Naked Lunch,

Evil Dead 1 & 2,

The Big Lebowski,

Videodrome,

Alien,

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,

For a Few Dollars More,

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,

Lost Highway & Mulholland Drive,

The Fountain, Pi, The Holy Mountain, El Topo, Princess Mononoke, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Big Trouble in Little China, The Wicker Man (the og)

And I probably watched Donnie Darko and Ichi the Killer enough times as a teen that they both reach the top

God I watch a lot of movies still.

e:typo, not Donnie Dario

Hot Rod. I have seen it at least 25 times....Cool Beans

Mean Girls - this is my absolute comfort movie. Elf is mandatory watch every Christmas and I never get bored of it.

Movies I'll always sit down and watch if I see them on TV that I've not seen mentioned yet:

• Breakfast Club
• Ferris Bueller's Day Off
• Time Bandits
• 12 Monkeys
• Muppet Treasure Island

Interstellar

Just Because I didn't see it mentioned:

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly and Tombstone

You know... I've never really thought about it that way, but my three favorites may be the same most watched.
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Empire Strikes Back
Miller's Crossing

Sometimes I'll watch Miller's Crossing with English subtitles/captions, just to take in all that insane and masterful dialogue, it truly is as if William Shakespeare had written a 1920s mob tragicomedy.

You ain't got a license to kill bookies and today I ain't sellin'. So take your flunky and dangle!

By my own accord? Probably Back to the Future 2/3, or Serenity. But my partner and step-son spent 6 months last year watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy over and over again, so those are the ones I've probably actually seen the most number of times.

Jurassic Park. The practical effects still hold up well and even the CGI is still passable.

Plus it's my favorite movie of all time.

I have kids so I have to rewatch a lot of movies against my will. I think we’ve watched boss baby 2 nearly every day since Memorial Day.
