I’ve opened this thread to give people a chance to share the titles of the movies they never get tired of rewatching. What are the movies that you love to rewatch over and over whenever the opportunity arises, no matter how many times you’ve watched them already?

In my case, the movies that I like to rewatch no matter what, are the following:

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
Star Trek VIII: First Contact (1996)
Roswell: The UFO Cover-Up (1994)
Roswell: The Aliens Attack (1999)
The Blues Brothers (1980)
Independence Day (1996)
Back to the Future (1985)
Couples Retreat (2009)
Men in Black (1997)
Men in Black II (2002)
Nuremberg (2000)
Wild Hogs (2007)
Neighbors (2014)
Downfall (2004)
Taken (2008)
Paul (2011)

What about you? I’m really curious to read your titles!

Pulp Fiction and Anatomy of a Murder are definitely up there for me.

My dad and I have probably watched Pulp Fiction together half a dozen times, and we always find something new in it.

Anatomy of a Murder is a bit of a deep cut, but I absolutely love it. Duke Ellington soundtrack, with the most egregious "hot lady saxophone solo" every recorded, and Jimmy Stewart at the top of his game.

RWBY x DC part 1 and 2, honestly great collaborative work there and sadly the only two films with RWBY but anyone who is a fan of RWBY and DC should certainly take it up as I've seen them a few times now. 

Get Smart with Steve Carell, the timing of humor and action in this movie is one I can watch multitude of times. 

The Greatest Showman, the music and storytelling really sold me when I saw this in theaters.

Howl's Moving Castle, this steampunk esque like tale of romance and opening one's heart to love is sort of a take on Beauty and the Beast but there are so many interesting characters in here and one of a few Studio Ghibli I enjoy watching.

Naruto the last movie, the movie where Naruto and Hinata become a couple, spoiler alert, but honestly it is one of a few Naruto movies that really nails the emotional buildup of the series overall. Two characters who have been in each other's circle but for Naruto to finally take that step forward as up till now he had kind of been oblivious to someone who had loved him all that time.

How to Train your dragon 2, the third one is fine but the second one is just firing on all cylinders and I think it is a great turning point for the character as his entire world is shaken up and seeing such a vulnerable side to him really works great with the part of growing up but also seeing more hiccstrid that had been built up through the series and not the movies but the actual shows.

Star Wars Rogue One, one of the saddest films in all the series lest you count Revenge of the Sith but even then the impact of these characters really leaves a lasting impression and one of a few sad films that I have seen multitude of times, trust me when I say I've only seen Titanic once.

Mr. Right, a comedy about an assassin who falls in love with a person outside of his line of work, hilarity ensues but you really get the feels of the playing off one another with the two leads.

Spongebob Squarepants the musical, if anyone ever wanted a peek inside a broadway production of the absorbent yellow sponge, this is it. The songs written by musical artists and each song really has you sold of that world with the pineapple home of the title character.

I have others but these are some strong ones I've seen multiple times.

My On and Off list

My other on/off list

Let the Priests of the Raven of dawn, no longer in deadly black, with hoarse note curse the sons of joy. Nor his accepted brethren, whom tyrant, he calls free: lay the bound or build the roof. Nor pale religious letchery call that virginity, that wishes but acts not!

For every thing that lives is Holy.

Oh, if I can catch it: Dead Heat (1988). It's a Treat Williams movie and has I think one of the last on-screen performances by the late, great Vincent Price.

Its a pure gamer movie. Its basically a scenario for the Feng Shui rpg :)

You know, I can watch TMNT II all the time, but going back and rewatching the original movie... I kind of like it better, which is wild considering I'm sure TMNT II was my favorite VHS growing up.

Little Shop of Horrors, as well as both Spiderverse movies!

LostInTheMist

Galaxy Quest (1999)
Airplane! (1980)

These are essential comedies for me, that are always funny when I watch them. I've made it a tradition whenever I'm housesitting to start off with Galaxy Quest! and I find myself watching Airplane! at least once a year. And they're both ALWAYS funny.

- Shawshank Redemption
- Starship Troopers
- Independence Day
- The Grand Budapest Hotel (I just love the long shots, the characters, and Ralph Fiennes ( "you must never be a candy ass" ).

- More when I can think of
