Movies you'd watch a million times

[limr]

Feelin' plucky tonight, so I'm starting a theme thread!

I just saw the director's cut of "The Blues Brothers" at a local artsie movie house. I love that movie so hard. I wouldn't want to see it again too soon, but it's one of the movies that I could watch over and over again.



It made me think about what other movies I love so much that I will watch them again no matter how many times I've seen them before. Some examples (first five that come to mind):

-Singin' in the Rain
-Groundhog Day
-The Star Wars trilogy (the real ones, and the original - none of this midichloron bullsh*t or extra CGI'd dinosaurs in the background in Mos Eisley) - and yes, I'm counting it as one movie
-Casablanca
and of course
-The Blues Brothers

What movies do you love enough to watch them over and over again?

OOOOhh, that's a good question and some thought needs to be put into it, but right off the cuff.......

Definitely The Blues Brothers
Two Guy Ritchie films... Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels & Snatch
Pretty much any Alfred Hitchcock film
Casablanca
Ocean's Eleven (the original and the remake)
Transporter
Winged Migration (not likely to be on anyone's list, but a beautiful film about migratory birds)

More thought required.....


During the holiday season:
Wizard of Oz
Miracle on 34th Street (the original)
A Christmas Story
A Charlie Brown Christmas
It's a Wonderful Life

Me too! I haven't listened to it in a long time. I remember that I got the CD as a gift when I pledged to the public radio station in Pittsburgh in grad school. And after getting it, I think I bought some Neruda volumes. I don't actually like to read a lot of poetry, but I do have some favorites (Whitman!) and Neruda's work is definitely on the list. It's beautiful.

For some reason I'm a huge fan of "The Social Network" I watch it regularly and still find it witty.

Here is the trailer for you if you haven't seen the movie already.

 

[snerd]

I also like many of the '80's romantic stuff,

She's Having A Baby
Sixteen Candles
Pretty In Pink
The Breakfast Club

Along with any of the latest romantic comedies and/or dramas.
