Most definitely Big Fish. Every time I swear I won't cry; every time I end up sobbing. With snot.
It just hits too close to home. I even had to trigger-warn my 55-year-old dad, to whose home it hits even closer.

My cousin Vinny I watch it once a year because it is a masterpiece.
Terminator 2. Judgment Day is my favorite movie of all time. I watch it pretty consistently. Sometimes I'll leave it on playing in the background when I'm doing stuff on the computer.
Probably only Star Wars 1 - 6.
BTTF trilogy
Return to Oz (Mostly, I commented to say this, because no one else has yet.)
Most of James Bond
Along with many of the others already mentioned, but I'd be remiss if I didn't include Miracle on 34th Street (1947), probably all of the Charlie Brown Specials, A Christmas Story, Frosty the Snowman, The Grinch who Stole Christmas, and probably several others, just because as a kid we watched them every holiday. I'm sure there's more on this list, but I'm old.
I've also watched the first season of Altered Carbon at least three times, and Rick and Morty, Archer, and others.
Lots of good ones posted already. Trying to add to the list:
The Princess Bride, La Femme Nikita, My Own Private Idaho, Ong Bak, Ichi the Killer, Kung Fu Hustle, The Matrix, Dai Nipponjin (Big Man Japan)
Amelie
City of Lost Children
Delicatessen
Yes I like Jeunet.
Dark City
Children of Men
I also like distopias.
Lanyrinth
One name David Bowie
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
Real Genius. It is a movie with a very young Val Kilmer and lasers. That's all you need to know. Watch it.
I re-watch movies and tv shows very often. Some movies I've seen over 20 times.
It's rare for me to only watch something once.
Dumb and Dumber
I can't believe I didn't see anyone else post it. Mostly I've rewatched it because it was replayed on cable so much but I certainly love it.
I got trash taste, granted but;
As a kid? He man and the masters of the universe.
As a young adult? Grandma's boy.
Currently? I don't think I remember movies well enough for it to be considered a rewatch. But I've definitely rewatch Peter Jackson's lotr more times than reasonable.
Madmax...all of them.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, probably a dozen times.
John Wick 1-4. Saw them all in the theater at least three times a piece. More at home
Terminator, for the nostalgia.
Real genius.
I watch The Hogfather every Christmas (Hogswatch?) Eve. Think the count is up to 11 or 12 now.
Drop Dead Gorgeous Best in Show
Muppet Treasure Island
A Muppet Christmas Carol
The Princess Bride
The Great Mouse Detective (the most faithful movie adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, fight me)
Inception
Ghost in the Shell
The Little Mermaid, but not by choice. It was my little sister's favorite movie and she would genuinely watch the VHS tape of it, rewind it, and then watch it again immediately. My brothers and I once entertained ourselves on a family road trip by quoting the whole movie, word for word.
Lost Highway VHS got pretty worn out back in the day
Princess bride Tron Iron man (and the rest of the infinity stone arch) Decoy bride There are more, just can't think of them right now.
Starship Troopers, Die Hard 1 & 2, Alien & Aliens Mad Max, Road Warrior, Thunderdome, Meet the Parents, Little Miss Sunshine, Wedding Crashers, Step Brothers, Office Space, LoTR Trilogy, OG Star Wars trilogy, Any if the Star Trek films, 2001
Ones I haven't read in this thread:
Trainspotting
Tombstone
The matador (2005)
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle
Three Days of the Condor
Excellent 70's paranoid thriller.
I posted it to !fullmoviesonyoutube@piefed.social a while back, if you want to watch it.
EDIT: Agh, it was taken down from Archive.org. It's available for free on Pluto though.
Lord of the Rings, Gattaca, There's Something About Mary, Dazed and Confused, The Death of Stalin.
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- Spirited Away
- Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
- Tron
- Every Disney movie that came out between Peter Pan and Toy Story 2 including those two.
I basically never rewatch movies. The only exception is Lord of the Rings basically. I think Sinners and Megalopolis will join it, but I haven't rewatched them yet
Tron: Legacy and Hot Rod are my comfort movies.
- Monty Python's
Holy Grail,Life of BrianandMeaning of life(in that order of rewaches). Although I haven't seen them in years, now that I live somewhere where weed is legal I should do that (never seen them stoned) Primer, which if it's not on your list here you either haven't seen it or haven't understood itThe MummyandHarry Potter(especially the first couple). They're one of my wife's comfort movies so we watch them every once in a while if she's feeling downLotR, although it's more of an event to rewatch them.Stargate, every few years we rewatch the TV show when we have nothing else to watch, we do that with some other TV shows as well as it's good background noise to just relax. And since it starts and ends with movies we've watched those several times.- Pink Floyd's
The Walland Daft Punk'sInterstella 5555are awesome music albums so I have watched those several times Hair, similarly love the musics
And although I haven't seen them too many times (but at least twice) Memento is a great movie if you haven't seen it. Also I haven't seen it multiple times but The Strangers is a great horror movie.
