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

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.



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.

I’ve seen The Graduate a ridiculous number of times.

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.



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