I haven’t known what movies to watch lately. Does everyone have their own treasure movies that they’ve seen many times? 😀
Princess Bride
- Month Python and the Holy Grail
- Young Frankenstein
- Seven Samurai
- LOTR Trilogy
I see a lot of LOTR fans here. Good crowd.
I had a holy grail vhs which i watched more or less every day after school. I used to be able to recite it from start to finish.
Also had both terminator movies on a double vhs so I’ve seen my fair share of them as well.
I haven’t seen it listed here in a quick scan, so:
Office Space
You don’t need a million dollars to do nothing. Look at my cousin. He’s broke as hell, don’t do shit.
Watch your cornhole, bud.
I love that Swingline only introduced the red stapler after Milton made it famous
A classic comfort film.
Kung Fu Hustle I’ve seen countless times.
That and Shaolin Soccer are sacred films to me. :D
Journey To The West as well, though.
I’ll have to find this one! Also a Stephen Chow movie?
Yes. It’s very similar to Kung Fu Hustle, but in a fantasy setting. It’s loosely based on some Chinese folklore of the same name.
Primer. Twice before and once after reading an explanation
In steam of consciousness order:
- Young Frankenstein
- Princess Bride
- Double Indemnity
- Nightmare Before Christmas
- The Breakfast Club
- The Fifth Element
- 12 Monkeys

- Men In Black
- The Incredibles
- Inception
- E.T.
- The Sting
- Grease

- West Side Story
Probably a number of others
The Fifth Element is the quintessential sci-fi movie. Literally, the word quintessence means “fifth element”.
It’s so completely enjoyable.
Every kid had that movie on tape or dvd that watched over and over. Mine was Young Frankenstein on beta.
Tron and various Star Treks
Mine was Ghostbusters. Watched it until the tape broke rewinding it one day.
It’s so great. Like Princess Bride, very quotable, too.
I second most of these, especially The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
I would add most Kubrick films including Dr. Strangelove and 2001.
Also, Being John Malkovich, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Dawn of the Dead remake 2004
The most recent film I can’t stop watching is Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Theives.
Dr Strange love, 2001, and Being John Malkovich are all movies I’ve seen more than three times.
First time I’ve seen ‘Harvey’ mentioned here.
I wish I could give more upvotes.
When I was a kid, I got into watching old movies, and that one became my favorite. I loved that movie.
As he got older, Stewart did it on Broadway and a couple of times for television.
“If I ever go broke, I can always take ‘Harvey’ on tour and get back on my feet.”
Brazil (1984)
Pretty much any studio Ghibli movie. Have watched spirited away, Totoro, howls moving castle, valley of the wind, and many more more than 3x. Don’t often rewatch stuff but have a soft spot for ghibli!
I revisit Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind every few years when I wanna get my guts all twisted into knots.
I think when Kaufman is left on his own he’s too much of a bummer and Gondry on his own is just too far out. But somehow they come together in a perfect balance with Jim Carey in perhaps his best serious role, IMHO. The soundtrack really takes it the extra mile.
I appreciate it because Joel and Clementine come off as just two kinda fucked up people having a kinda fucked up relationship; very relatable. Neither is perfect or completely at fault and the film very much leaves it up to your interpretation if they can or should work together. I don’t think it has a happy ending, do you? Compare that to something like 500 Days of Summer where you’re really supposed to sympathize with Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character but mostly I end up wanting to push him into the mud. Hard.
The subplot between the doctor and his secretary is maybe a little unnecessary? But Kirsten Dunst is amazing so whatever.
That movie is my white whale. I have tried to watch it a dozen times and I’ve never finished it. Not for lack of interest or trying. Just can’t do it
The indie movie theater near my college did a “soundtrack comes alive” showing with live music. It was phenomenal!
Primer
Napoleon Dynamite
Primer doesn’t count. You haven’t watched it once until you’ve watched it three times.
So 9==3?
oh my god Primer was so good. That’s intense.
I was gonna say that one, GOSH
Hundreds of Beavers! It’s an absolute delight showing it to someone who has never seen it before.
YES. I only saw it once and I want to show it to someone else with no explanation! That movie had us rolling.
I have one for you too:
“Marcel the Shell With Shoes On”
I just grabbed it off the shelf from my library because it looked interesting. Never heard of it before.
I went in completely blind and fell in love. Just hit play and settle in. Absolutely lovely.
Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give it a try!
I hope you enjoy it! :D
Pulp Fiction
I watched that like 8 times over the course of summer holiday as a teen.
My parents were on vacation, I’d borrowed it from the library and every time some friends visited, they saw the dvd and went “oh lets watch pulp fiction!”.
It does lose some of it’s appeal around viewing 5, but still enjoyable. But me and my one friend who was there often could almost act the whole movie by the end, so that was fun.
Dogma, Lawrence of Arabia, Philadelphia Story, Hudson Hawk, The Martian, Edge of Tomorrow, Kung Fu Hustle, Delicatessen, Apocalypse Now, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, LOTR, Star Wars (original 3), The Thin Man series.
Also Dr. Strangelove and all the Monty Python, Princess Bride, 5th Element
the lotr trilogy is a good one, especially if you have the extended versions.
Interstellar
Most Star Wars movies except 8 & 9
F1
Back to the Future trilogy
Avengers: Infinity War
Black Panther
Both modern Dune movies
Fury
Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy
The Martian
Oppenheimer
