Not the best, but most watches films.

We all have these movies: They're not great, but they're fun to watch. So, we plug them into the VCR/DVD player and watch them over and over again.

For me, I'm almost always watching Batman, The Crow, Ghostbusters, Highlander, or Willow. People would get the idea that I thought these were just the greatest things since the invention of the coffee maker, but that's not true. They're just fun background noise, and I already know the plot inside and out so I don't have to watch too closely.

What are your non-classic but certainly most watched movies?

Arthur: Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word safe that I wasn't previously aware of.

If I love to watch it over and over, it is great to me. I don't subscribe to the idea that movies like Die Hard, Beverly Hills Cop and Star Wars are just fun, while movies like The Godfather, Citizen Kane and 2001 are great. I just don't think that way.

I have watched these movies over and over:

Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
Beverly Hills Cop
The Terminator
Instinct
Jaws
The Sting
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Glory
Jurassic Park
Stakeout

And I think they are all fanfrigintastic.

I have to agree with Firegod, if I watch a film that much, it is good to me, despite what others may think. Some of these movies for me would have to be, Blade, The Crow, Pitch Black (I don't own it, but I used to watch it almost every time it was on when I had sattelite(SP?), even though I said it was not a well made movie, lol), hmmm...most of the other movies I watch alot, were pretty popular, ex. The Matrix. Oh, and almost forgot, Ferris Buelers Day Off(sp?), watch it every time its on . And when I was younger, I think I watched The Transformers movie, almost every day for a year..ahh to be a kid again

I constantly watch:

Blade Runner
The Usual Suspects
Mulholland Drive


but, alas, I have gotten away from constant watching in the past few years. I mean I used to watch Labyrinth and Star Wars daily in the 80s, to the point where I have seen each of those films at least a hundred times. Nowadays I tend to get hooked on a film and watch it a few times, then shelve it and move on to the next addiction.
