What movie could you watch over and over and never get bored?

[franklampard1992]

I love tons of movies that I could watch over and over again. One of these films is Spirited Away. I have watched this movie more than I can count. I will never get tired of this movie. I remember watching this movie when I was younger and now when I watch it this film brings me back to those days.
There are other films I can watch over an over again such as Joker, Avengers Infinity War, Cars, Wall-E, Sam Raimi Spider Man films, X-Men 2, Logan, Avengers Endgame, Toy Story series, Lord of the Rings series.

[MovieGal]

The Mummy, Pretty In Pink, Agora. Several actually.

[KeyserCorleone]

Casino Royale, Kung Pow, Good Burger, Aliens, Galaxy Quest, Anastasia.

[Captain Steel]

My answer would be "none." (If you mean watching a movie over and over with no or little time in between for an indefinite period of time).

Even with movies I love, I like a couple years between viewings to hopefully dim my memory somewhat so that viewing it again has some of the magic as the first time.

I remember when the movie Titanic came out - they had a story on the news about a family that kept paying to watch every showing at their local theater... every day... and they were reporting it because the family was now on their 2nd or third consecutive week of continuous viewings. They weren't trying to get in a record book or anything, but claimed they loved the movie so much that they'd sit through it continuously, day after day. I can't understand that level of oversaturation.

There is "too much of a good thing".... and what that family was exhibiting was some kind of mental disorder... OCD or something. Definitely not healthy, and to make matters worse they were expending their savings on the same thing over and over on a rather expensive pastime (when carried out 16 hours a day, 7 days a week for multiple people) with money that could have been spent on a great variety of entertainment or things to actually improve their lives.

About the only movies I rewatch these days are animated. Just trying to recapture my youth, man.

So, so many.

These kinds of beloved faves are sometimes also called “remote drop” films, those titles that when you come across them while scrolling through your entertainment choices you just have to stop and rewatch, no matter how many times you have seen it, no matter how recently, no matter if it just started or there are only six minutes left.

For a small sampling of some of mine: GoodFellas, The Blues Brothers, His Girl Friday, Miller’s Crossing, Breaking Away, Chinatown, That Thing You Do!, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Amélie, Casablanca, Grosse Pointe Blank, Wonder Boys, The Godfather, The Freshman, The Graduate, L.A. Confidential, Fletch, A Perfect World, Amadeus, Clean & Sober, Lost in America, Midnight Run, Missing, Clue, The Last Waltz, Stop Making Sense, A Hard Day's Night, The Long Goodbye, Lonely are the Brave, Eight Men Out, Blade Runner, and on and on and on.

Man, those scenes give me goosebumps. Powerful.

[Gideon58]

None.


Wow, I can't believe this...all the movies you've watched over the years, there isn't a single movie that you love to rewatch?

[skizzerflake]

Casablanca, The African Queen, any of the old Universal Studios horror movies, The Rear Window, North by Northwest, the first LOTR trilogy and a constellation of old noir films like The Stranger or DOA or Port of New York. It's gotta be something that goes with late night, beer and removing myself from the real world.

[John Dumbear]

None.

Not even "Paul Blart: Mall Cop"?

[Stirchley]

He loves Citizen Kane. He surely has seen it more than once.

[Citizen Rules]

Wow, I can't believe this...all the movies you've watched over the years, there isn't a single movie that you love to rewatch?Nope. I don't love to rewatch movies. I could never watch a movie a whole bunch of times, I will get bored silly. I will rewatch a movie if it's been several years and I've mostly forgotten it.

Not even "Paul Blart: Mall Cop"? Everyone loves that one:)

He loves Citizen Kane. He surely has seen it more than once. Nah, I don't love Citizen Kane and I've only seen it once, unless you count commentary track then twice.

[Gideon58]

That's really interesting Citizen...I know that whenever I rewatch a movie, I almost always notice something I didn't see the first time and I also know that there are some films that require at least one rewatch to catch everything that happened.

[Stirchley]

Nah, I don't love Citizen Kane and I've only seen it once, unless you count commentary track then twice.

I’m confused. Wasn’t it last year or the year before you were extolling the qualities of Citizen Kane? IIRC, I didn’t want to watch it, I had never wanted to watch it, but you were urging me to give it a shot. Which I did & which I intensely disliked.

To me watching a movie a large number of times would be like eating my favorite meal every day for a week.

[Ultraviolence]

Well, for me it's Jackie Chan's Police Story (1985) and Van Damme's Bloodsport.

Hmmmm, it’s a great movie you’ve seen only once. Okay.

[Citizen Rules]

Hmmmm, it’s a great movie you’ve seen only once. Okay.Yeah, that's how I roll. I don't usually rewatch movies. Not that I'm opposed to rewatching it someday. The most I've usually seen any one movie is like 3 times and that's over a span of decades.

[huan314]

The grand budapest hotel

[Thief]

Most of my favorites I can watch over and over. From Shawshank Redemption and Seven to Vertigo or 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's a warming feeling to rewatch something that you feel comfortable with. I'm pretty sure I've seen Die Hard over a hundred times.

[WHITBISSELL!]

I second Galaxy Quest, The Blues Brothers and Blade Runner but add my personal favorite Where Eagles Dare.

But the hands down winner would have to be Tremors.

[GulfportDoc]

Casablanca, The African Queen, any of the old Universal Studios horror movies, The Rear Window, North by Northwest, the first LOTR trilogy and a constellation of old noir films like The Stranger or DOA or Port of New York. It's gotta be something that goes with late night, beer and removing myself from the real world.
Great items there, my man! I'm very partial to Hitch's North by Northwest. I've watched it 20+ times since its 1959 Release.

I've also enjoyed repeated watchings of The Getaway and What's Up, Doc?, and of course The Third Man.

[arthurslater]

Avengers: End Games

[SpelingError]

I don't rewatch movies much nowadays, but some of my favorite films would definitely apply.

[gandalf26]

When I had Sky TV in my bedroom as a teenager I would flick through the movie channels and could always settle on Godfather or Goodfellas, in fact that's usually what I did do.

Even younger than that I swear I could literally watch the Star Wars trilogy or Terminator 2 just about every day, and when staying with the grandparents it was Predator or James Bond, they seemed to have no qualms about letting very young kids watch ultra violent Predator much to my delight.

Over the past decade my most repeated movies are probably Patton, Waterloo, Edge of Tomorrow, Thief, Moneyball and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

[John Dumbear]

I've got seven or eight films I watch every Christmas, have for decades. Does this count?

[Gideon58]

The Mummy, Pretty In Pink, Agora. Several actually.

I'll second Pretty in Pink
