What film can you watch over and over?

The Lovely Bones is a favorite of mine, though deeply disturbing to watch. I've since watched the Irish actress Saoirse Ronan's career take off. She was perfectly cast for it. Stanley Tucci had misgivings at first to take the part but he did and the result was brilliant.

What haunts me about the film is that though it's based on a work of fiction, we know all too well that such monstrous things exist in reality. What was particularly poignant to me was the theft of a young woman's chance to experience love and life. But that is what padeos do ; they steal childhood. In this case life itself.
 
Another favourite of mine is another 'spiritual' film 'What Dreams May Come'. One for the incurably romantic.

In this clip the lead character, played by Robin Williams, has just 'died'. He finds himself very much alive in his own personal heaven, alone at first, but the Katie turns up! (Katie is his old dog who 'died' some time previously. *All your old beloved pets will be awaiting you on the Other Side along with your human loved ones...)

Gee - just found this old thread thanks to you SassyCakes :)

Vertigo - Because of Kim Novak, of course
Casablanca - timeless classic
African Queen
Maltese Falcon

Okay, almost anything with Bogart
 
When I'm feeling wretched and down, I always watch Robin Williams' The Birdcage. It always makes me laugh, and it is just so silly it cheers me up. I'm not a fan of most comedies, but Birdcage is in a whole 'nother class.
 
For just a side-splitting time "Animal House" never grows old. My favorite romantic movie is "Gone With the Wind". Actually any movie...just add Clark Gable or Denzel Washington and it's my favorite romantic movie.

I have also been captivated by Zulu with Michael Caine and Stanley Baker. My favourite Australian war movie is The Light Horse that follows the same mounted infantry unit that my grand father served in during WW I. He was invalided home before the attack on the wells of Beersheba which was won when the Light Horse charged across the plain in a manoeuvre that surprised the Germans and Turks.

In both movies I love the cast of characters, the attention to historic detail and the nobility that comes with facing seemingly impossible odds and a do or die situation.

I also love the Lord of the Rings trilogy for much the same reasons.
 
I have many also but here's a short list of some....
Casablanca
Some Like it Hot
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Bringing Up Baby
Lord of The Rings
