What film can you watch over and over?

Cast Away....because I'm a sucker for survival stories....and Tom Hanks.

Terms of Endearment......because it was such a true to life story...and I'm a fan of Shirley Maclaine even with her weirdness.

Night of the Fox. From the book of the same name, by Jack Higgins.

It's nostalgic; reminds me of my experiences in the military during WWII.

She's just a brilliant actress and that was one of her best performances.

 
For me the hopeless romantic it's that old weepie, the original 1939 Wuthering Heights.
Interesting aside there was no love lost between Olivier and Oberon. He wanted his then love, Vivian Leigh to be in the role so he resented her throughout filming.

 
You know what's funny about that short clip from "84 Charlie MoPic", Gael? It concentrates on the "action" that so many people want from war flicks. I think the people who created it missed the point. The movie is about a cameraman who accompanies a LRRP team to record their actions as a "lessons learned". It's done as raw, unedited film and very powerful. Anyway, thanks for caring about it.

Now, on a very important lighter note . . .

I would choose just about anything by Mel Brooks: "Spaceballs", "Young Frankenstein", "Blazing Saddles". I love just about any film noir. Just this weekend, watched one of my favorite movies of all time, "After the Thin Man"

Now, come to think of it, there are just too many great flicks to see over and over and over. I think I'll settle on somebody's homemade surf movies from good days at The Point.

Oh yeah Gael, I watch a lot of movies over again, many times too. Two I can think of off-hand are:

Grumpy Old Men

The Last of the Dogmen

Old black and whites:

Laura w/Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews

Key Largo w/Bogie and Bacall;)

edited: oh one more!! A total FAVE: Baby Boom w/diane Keeton and Sam Shepherd

Ok, just one more (edited) Kindergarten Cop, LOL! That was filmed right up in our own Astoria/Seaside Oregon:) Oh, and the Pioneer Square Mall in Portland;)

My sisters friend watches Pretty Woman often:) I liked it a lot, but don't strive to see it again. There are 2 others with Julia I love though, I Love Trouble, w/julia and Nic Nolte, and Dying Young w/Julia and Campbell Scott. Sleeping With the Enemy was good but awful, too much like real life for me, lol, eek:( Oh yeah, Knotting Hill too:)
 
You are right TG, too many to name!! I keep thinking of more but they'd have to get more "online space" if I named all, LOL!!

I'll watch a good movie twice, or maybe three times if I really like it. One that I have watched more than once is African Queen. A classic Bogart movie.

Heh, heh ... I was just looking through live-aboard boats for sale in Florida listings the other night. Came across one that was for sale (cheap!) about a block away from the African Queen replica they have in Key Largo. :D

Laura! Great film noir one!
 
Sorry I got the wrong film, it is Zulu that I can watch over and over,although both films are based on the defence of Rorkes Drift.

Men of Harlech stop your dreaming
Can't you see their spear points gleaming
See their warrior pennants streaming
To this battlefield
Men of Harlech stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Stand and never yield
From the hills rebounding
Let this song be sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding
Men of Harlech on to glory
This will ever be your story
Keep these burning words before ye
Welshmen will not yield
