Are there movies that you have seen countless times, ad infinitum, just because you liked them so much? (You can include older films you see on TV.)

YOJIMBO - Japanese classic about a cynical samurai, who manipulates a whole town into destruction. I have seen YOJIMBO perhaps 50 times. Kurosawa's finest.

SEVEN SAMURAI - around 50 times also. A long movie, 3 hours plus uncut, but I cry at the same places every time. (One of the moments that rung most true is when the poor villagers' supply of rice is vandalized and they desperately pick the stuff off the floor, grain by grain. In Indonesia (where I work sometimes), poverty-stricken people can actually be reduced to eating wood.)

POLTERGEIST - I don't know if I'm too lazy to change the channel but every time this movie comes on, I sit on the couch and watch. Same with THE EXORCIST. 40 times maybe. Ok, maybe I fall asleep sometimes.

MASK OF ZORRO - Banderas/Hopkins version. I just love this movie. The swordplay & horse stunts (particularly the opening action scene with Hopkins doing that thing with his whip), Catherine Zeta Jones' bosoms heaving like two glorious ... um, like the boat in THE PERFECT STORM. 30 times.

Other movies I have seen more than 20 times: SONG OF BERNADETTE (my mum raised me on this movie, so it's a bit of a guilty pleasure, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, BEN HUR, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, THE OMEN, SPARTACUS, ALL ABOUT EVE
[Edited by Pigsnie on 03-15-2001]
