you know the ones. movies you've seen more than ten times but just have to watch every time they come on.
for me it would have to be
- Jurassic park
- independence day
- Godzilla (1998)
- Sout park: bigger, longer and better
The Mirrorball Man

Alien
Annie Hall
Monty Python - The Meaning of Life
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Lone Ranger
10-06-2006, 02:36 PM
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
Charade

I watched Star Wars every day for over a month back when I first got it on video tape.
I also never get tired of movies like Airplane!, The Naked Gun and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

13th Warrior and Big Trouble in Little China come to mind.
Alien, Aliens, Predator, Ghostbusters, and Godzilla (With Matthew Broderick) are among my favorites to rewatch again and again.

One glance at my user name and avatar should give you my answer.
<----------
I might as well have cut & pasted most of the list that Buzz put up.
Our tastes do go off in different directions quite often, but when we agree on a movie being good, we seem to really agree.
I’m a movie nut, so my list rambles on a bit, and you’d laugh at how often I’m tired at work because I stayed up to watch some movie I’ve seen 20 times already.
Also I’m not claiming that all of these are classics. I like my share of good trash too….
Singin’ In the Rain
The Maltese Falcon
Dr. Strangelove
Chinatown
Casablanca
Night of the Living Dead
Network
The Great Escape
Fitzaclardo
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
The Three & Four Musketeers (Oliver Reed, Michael York, Chuck Heston and Christopher Lee among a great all-star cast)
The Seven Samurai
The Last Man on Earth
Shoah
Duck Soup (and all of the other 4 Marx Brothers movies get on the list too.)
Bringing Up Baby
The Dirty Dozen
2010
A Shot in the Dark (Clouseau’s greatest adventure)
Enter the Dragon
The Godfather & the Godfather II
The Omega Man
The Outlaw Josie Wales
The Duelists
Damm Yankees
Captain Blood
Lolita
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Shaw’s, Caesar & Cleopatra
Southern Comfort
Planet of the Apes
Nosferatu (both the original Murnau and the wonderfully warped Herzog version)
How to Murder Your Wife
The Wolf Man
On the Beach
Gung Ho (Randolph Scott, not Michael Keaton)
The Kentucky Fried Movie
Dawn of the Dead (the original, as if you had to ask)
Bride of Frankenstein
Airplane
The Ten Commandments
Flesh Gordon (and no, that’s not misspelled)
The Roaring Twenties
All That Jazz
The Petrified Forest
Soylent Green
Little Caesar
White Heat
Batman (1966)
One, Two, Three
Well, I could keep going, but then I’d be at it for hours.

I watched Star Wars every day for over a month back when I first got it on video tape.
I've got you beat, way back when it was originally in theaters in '77, a friend of mine's father owned a theater and we got to go in for free whenever we wanted, usually just hanging around in the projectionist booth. We literally sat there from opening to close the entire summer watching Star Wars over and over and over and over. I could quote the entire movie, from memory, end to end, probably still can. That's the one film I've seen more than any other in my life.
