Are there movies you have seen many, many times and still love to watch?

I am one of those rare people who don't enjoy watching movies over and over, unless it has been many years since I first saw it or it's one of those movies with a very intricate plot line which bears watching again for things I might have missed. Having said that, I do enjoy rewatching musicals with great dance sequences.
 

The Wizard of Oz
The Notebook
Blade Runner
Beauty & the Beast
Avatar
Lion king
West side story
Good Will Hunting
Titanic
The Sound of Music
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Thelma & Louise
 
I've watched Tombstone so many times, I could write the script, verbatim
Especially Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday

Same with As Good As It Gets

Gladiator

Cinderella Man
(I'm a boxing nut...raised in it)

Something's Gotta Give

The Edge

Shawshank Redemption

The Green Mile

Unforgiven

The Revenant

There's others, but these I've watched too many times
….and.... I'm gonna watch 'em again

I see you also have Fatal Attraction on your list.
Back in the day I was totally addicted to that movie! :ROFLMAO:
I bought a VCR and that was the first movie I actually purchased.

There have been so many good and great movies. I like most westerns that have been liked by others and maybe seventy per cent of all the others listed in this thread I think the movie I have watchedmost over and over across the years is Pretty Woman. I've watched many others
several times. I liked Green Beret and have seen it two or three times and I still have dreams about stepping on one of those pointed sticks.
I guess I like fairy tales, too, because 'Pretty Woman' is a fairy tale.
 
Applecruncher, getting back to Fatal Attraction, when I saw that movie for the first time, I remember absolutely hating the actress Glenn Close for a long time afterward. She was so good in that movie, playing the arch-villain, that she actually made me hate her! I had to remind myself that she was only acting.

Some of us came away with a different take on Fatal Attraction:
.
He was the villain not her; he used an unstable, lonely woman who mourned for her missing father for his own sexual gratification, while he was a married man who'd vowed to be faithful. He behaved the pig and the predator.

Close played a woman clearly insane. He had no business messing with another woman in the first place and playing an unhinged, sad woman for a fool, could only lead to disaster.

He used her and dumped her. Broke her heart, his wife's heart and upset his child. Bum.

This is the kind of movie that one has to look beyond the scenes. Things are not always as they appear.

Yeah, we have that one
My lady watches it every once in awhile
That's when I go to the shop
…...and make her something

OK, serious;
Yeah, I thought Douglas' role was played quite well
Stepped in it....big time
And how could he cheat on that gorgeous Anne Archer??!!

Close shoulda walked away with the oscar

I just watch it for the sink scene
 
One of the channels running Brad Pitt movies.
He was just too pretty in "A River Runs through It, and 'Meet Joe Black.'
I guess he is an adequate actor, not sure.
If he went to a Redneck town, in his younger years they would have run him out of town.

I remember being upset at the ending when I saw it in the theater, bc Dan was a philandering jerk and it felt like he got off without consequences. The original ending is better than the theatrical version but Dan still skates. :rolleyes: Glenn Close has said she'd love to see the story retold from Alex's point of view - I'd watch that!!

Some of the movies I love to rewatch (excluding holiday movies, which are a whole other list!):

Big Trouble In Little China (critics wrongly panned it on first release, thankfully they've woken up)
The Princess Bride
Picnic
All About Eve
Vertigo
The Bat (the one with Vincent Price - it's so much fun)
The Third Man
The Big Lebowski... and anything else by the Coen Brothers
Chinatown and The Tenant (we're not supposed to like Polanski anymore but I think his brilliant filmmaking stands separate from his abysmal personal life)
The Wizard of Oz
Donkeyskin
To Die For
Last Days of Disco
The Maltese Falcon
 
Had forgotten how the many versatile and dramatic roles Paul Newman
had presented to audiences.
The characters he played were so true and easy for the audience to identify with.
so smooth, you forgot he was acting.

Watched The Verdict again, what a drama, what a film.
Plus any movie with Charlotte Rampling is worth the watch.
 
When I was young I could watch or read my favorite movies/books endlessly. Now, once is enough.
