Inspired by another thread - are there movies that you can can watch over an over? Even if it is on TBS every month?

As sad as this is for me to admit, I'm that way with Jackass The Movie.

Seriously.

I know. I know.

Good topic. For me I rarely watch my dvd's over and over. But some movies on I will sit down and watch if I happen to see them on cable.

Recently a friend link me to a movie on hulu called Ink. Its a low budget film but I found myself watching it 4 times in a week. Now I am trying to get my other friends to watch it. Here is a link. http://www.hulu.com/watch/116313/ink

I like sharing movies I that move me. So I buy the dvd and lend them out to friends or watch it with them. To name a few they are.
Ink
Six String Samurai
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Brick

Now I may not watch them alone anymore but if a friend hasn't seen them I would watch it with them.

I'll watch both A Goofy Movie and Treasure Planet at least once a year if not more frequently (depends on my mood). They're not even what most would call "classic Disney movies", but I'll watch these more frequently than I will stuff like Lion King or Aladdin.

Hoss
03-08-2010, 05:39 PM
Billy Madison and Gross Pointe Blank! Great calls...

And at one point I think I watched Dazed and Confused and Where the Buffalo Roam 10 or 12 times in about a year. Of course, I don't really remember that year very well at all.

I'll add Tommy Boy but we always fast forwarded the sad part when his dad died.

There are some movies that are on the list because they are fun to watch and are good for light viewing:

-Evil Dead 2
-Army of Darkness
-Casino Royale
-Crank
-Speed Racer
-The Star Wars movies (You know, the movies that came out from 1977-1983)

There are others that are there because they are good movies. These are the kinds of movies that every time I re-watch them I notice new things in them:

-Lord of the Rings Trilogy
-Untitled cut of Almost Famous
-Director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven

Then, even though it is not a movie, I watch Band of Brothers several times a year since it came out. And every time I watch it, I notice more things thrown in, and notice the periphery characters as they float around the lead actors.

There are plenty of others, but these are the titles at the top of my re-watching list.

I used to watch Akira ad nauseuam, but lost the VHS(that was transfered from Laserdisc) and got the DVD with the new dub. I hate the new dub. But I love Akira, I watched it at least 30 times as a 5th generation VHS copy in Japanese when I was 12/13. So that means it was grainy and I didn't understand a word of it. Somehow I find the new dub/translation to be less watchable.
