    Default Great movies you'll NEVER tire of

    Same question as before, only reversed.

    For some reason, I could probably watch Dodgeball every day and get a different laugh from something I failed to notice the last few times I saw it. Really well-structured for a throwaway sports comedy.

    Also, Ravenous, Adaptation, Unforgiven...

    The Hours
    The Bourne Identity
    Event Horizon
    Gattaca

    I love many other movies, some of which I'd definitely say are better than Event Horizon & Gattaca, but the 4 films above, for whatever reason, I can watch countless times without tiring of them.

    I love most of Neil Simon's comedies. Faves are probably Plaza Suite, Murder By Death, and The Out-of-Towners (the original!)

    I love horror anthology movies, my favorites probably being Creepshow and Black Sabbath. They need to make more though, dammit!

    Clue. Similar in tone to Neil Simon's Murder By Death. Love it.

    Haven't seen Adventures in Babysitting in years, but I used to watched in at least once a week.

    The Lady Vanishes. My favorite Hitchcock movie (for the moment). That awful movie Flightplan stole the plot of this movie, and it still sucked. See the real thing. It's WAY better. Equal parts humor and suspense.

    And of course, as I mentioned in the other thread, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

    There are simply too many great films I could watch constantly and never, ever tire of.

    1
    . The Ruling Class--Peter Medak
    2. Casablanca--Michael Curtiz
    3. Citizen Kane
    , The Lady From Shanghai, Touch of Evil (1998 restoration)--oh, GUESS!
    4. The Third Man--Carol Reed
    5. Spellbound--Hitchcock (and almost everything)
    6. Seconds (and anything else by Frankenheimer)
    7. Kurosawa Addict (will stop everything if I run across anything I haven't seen)
    8. Tarantino and/or Rodriguez Addict
    9. David Lynch Addict ('cept Dune)
    10. Ghost Dog--Way of the Samurai--Jim Jarmusch
    11. Coen Brothers

    Honorable mention:

    I loves me some Matrix, and Fight Club.
    Batman Begins, V and Sin City ROCKED, because, dammit, at least they're going in the right direction.
    I've watched A Scanner Darkly four times already, and that number will undoubtedly grow..
    I just saw American Beauty for the first time this week--I predict I will be buying it, and wearing it out.
