Probably Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation since it has been tradition every holiday season.
As a kid, Rescuer's Down Under or The Paper Brigade was re-watched a lot.
Apart from that, it's a close tie for:
- The Matrix
- Sin City
- The Chronicles of Riddick
- Terminator 2
- The Sandlot
- I, Robot
- Joe Dirt
Just good replay value.
Office Space. The Usual Suspects used to be on TV all the time back in the day and is probably a close second.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail or The Fifth Element.
Monty Python's The Holy Grail
Home Alone. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I don't really rewatch movies anymore. There is so much content out there that I haven't watched, I would rather see something new than just rewatch something that I've already seen.
I have a few that will be very close as I decided a bit over a decade ago to limit myself to one rewatch a year of each to stop myself sucking all the joy out of them:
-
Alien - my favorite survival horror
-
Aliens - my favorite Nam movie
-
Jaws - my favorite version of Moby Dick, although I really like Godzilla Minus One take on Jaws
-
Jurassic Park - best big stompy monster film for me
-
Lord of the Rings - this is always over Christmas. Its not faithful enough for me to the books but it still manages to be an outstanding Trilogy.
-
Emperors New Groove - favorite body swap film
-
The Other Guys. At first glance, it's a buddy cop comedy that harkens back to Lethal Weapon, but with humor typical to ~2010. But, the more you watch it, the more Zucker brothers esque, 1980s surrealist comedy influences you notice. One of the most subtly weird and funny movies to me, I've probably seen it, no lie, 10 or 15 times.
Nobody has said Die Hard?!?
See it here on !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee:
The Shawshank Redemption.
- Liar, Liar
- Office Space
- Happy Gilmore
- The Fifth Element
- Ace Ventura 2
- Nat. Lampoons Christmas Vacation
- Planes, Trains & Automobiles
- The Big Lebowski
I think Lotr movies.
Spirited away... Something about the first opening notes of the piano when that movie starts always moves me and fills me with such warm feelings.
Honestly most studio Ghibli movies I've watched a lot... But man... Spirited away does something to me.
Star Wars
The Matrix
Kill BillProbably my top 3. Airplane!
saving private ryan, just such a good movie. and a Christmas story every year
Not completely by my own choice, but I feel like I've seen National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - at least in part - once or more per holiday season since it was released.
The same is true of Elf, but obviously that movie is quite a bit more recent.
For movies I've watched the most by my own choice, it's probably the Kill Bills or Inglorious Basterds, but those have got to be way behind in raw count. Goonies and the Back to the Future series probably have honorable mentions because of how long they've been around and continue to be a fun watch.
Not sure but these are on repeat at my house:
Lord of the Rings trilogy
Hot Fuzz
Into the Spiderverse
Pride and Prejudice, the one with Keira Knightly
So one of them but not sure which.
Firefly
Hook. Forrest Gump.
- grammas boy
- back to the future (all of them)
- Ace ventura
- the mask
- good will hunting
- Beetlejuice
- hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
Joe Versus The Volcano (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0099892/) is my all time re-watch movie. So many themes, great cinematography, and very mythic.
If you've never seen it, your in for a treat!
Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade
Saw this one so many times when I was younger
- Princess Bride
- Muppet Christmas Carol
- Lord of the Rings
- The Beauty and the Beast
- The Sword in the Stone
- Dumb and Dumber
- Young Frankenstein
- Nightmare Before Christmas
Usual Suspects.
Airplane! And Star Trek the Wrath of Khan.
The Life Aquatic. I just absolutely adore the sad, disappointed and fragile characters. Fuckin hilarious!
Aliens The Martian Fifth Element Forrest Gump Stranger Than Fiction Incredibles Ice Age Shrek Passengers Oblivion Edge of Tomorrow
The Star Wars OT. Probably ROTJ specifically. That was like an every weekend thing when I was a kid.
- Shawshank
- The Great Escape
- Beyond the Clouds
- Groundhog Day
I used to fall asleep to John dies at the end for awhile so partial watches that wins hands down. But actually watching the whole movie probably lord of the rings or young Frankenstein.
WALL-E
FIRE WALK WITH ME
Probably The Naked Gun
Robinhood Prince of Thieves
That thing you do and Empire records
The Shining, then Practical Magic
Heat.
Probably A Knight's Tale. Though Con-Air seemed to be on TV at least once a week for years.
Constantine, and A Knight's Tale.
I don't smoke much weed anymore,but when I do, I watch The pick of destiny or Dude where's my car
Ever? Probably Return of the Jedi
Maybe Revenge of the Sith, but I'm pretty sure it's Return of the Jedi
Pacific Rim
Stardust.
Tron Legacy, the vibe is captivating.
Die hard or home alone
Honestly, it's probably Little Nicky for me. I do enjoy the movie myself, but back in my highschool days my main group of friends I would hang out and smoke weed with could always agree on this movie. If anyone would complain about what someone else wanted to watch too much, or none of us had a good idea for anything else, we would usually just throw Little Nicky on and be happy enough. I'll still watch every now and then even though I could recite the thing by rote.
Kingdom of Heaven
Honestly it might be Finding Nemo. I think it was the first DVD we had and my younger sister was obsessed with it, so I'd watch it a lot with her. Things I'd watch at my own accord it's probably LOTR or Harry Potter though.
Smiley Face. Great Anna Farris stoner flick!
Robocop.
Thought it might be the Matrix, but then I remember that when my parents separated we only had one tape at my moms, Robocop, and no like movie channels. I was rewatching it like crazy.
"Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel" (Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella). It runs at least a dozen times around each Christmas since I was a kid, and is part of the usual Christmas habits.
Aliens
I know it has to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon because it's the only movie I ever watched enough to literally wear out the tape when I only had it on VHS. There were times in high school I would just play it on repeat all day.
Predestination. Sarah Snook is just incredible.
- The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
- Mulholland Drive
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Rogue One
Dodgeball
has to be old bud spencer and terrence hill movies, pretty popular in germany. I know there is a couple of them, but they are all pretty much the same anyway. ;-)
For a while, it was weirdly "Long Kiss Goodnight". It was getting heavy rotation on TV during my high-school exams, and improbaly watched it 15 times over the few weeks I was meant to be studying.
But now, probably LOTR extended edition, which I've seen every year since it came out, at my friend's annual birthday celebrations.
Summer Wars. And it still tears me up.
All of these movies my family sits down and watches at least once a year:
Harry Potter series.. All of them.
LoTR/ Hobbit.. All of them.
Paul
Strictly Ballroom
Princess Bride
Music Man 1962 version
Court Jester 1955 with Danny Kaye
Interstate 60
In the last few years? The Magic Sword (1962) about 7 times I think and I could go for another.
Let the bullets fly. It's a Chinese classic, I watch it with all my friends that have enot heard it before and they all love it.
GoodFellas
As a kid, it was a cartoon - The Little Mermaid. As an adult... It is a cartoon - Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse.
Ben-Hur. Loved it in my youth, when TV still aired this kind of movies regularly, and I absolutely love it and like to review it from time to time. There are others I've watched again lots if times (Star Wars, The Matrix...) but Ben-Hur is number one.
Full Metal Jacket.
Best war movie and best Kubrick movie of all time.
I have played Wonka multiple times a day, every day at my house since it released for streaming.
I can't say if RoboCop, Terminator, Blade Runner or El mundo es nuestro (I've never seen my parents laugh so hard).
I'm afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:
2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Miller's Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard's seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
From Russia With Love.
The Spy Who Loved Me.Conan the Barbarian History of the World pt1 Star wars Raiders of the Lost arc Master and Commander
I’m not the kind of person who rewatches or rereads stuff. The only thing that I can rewatch endlessly is Pacific Rim. That movie is perfection for me. I even went to watch it on IMAX 3 times.
Contact or Big Trouble In Little China. Love those movies.
Transformers The Movie (1986). I still get teary eyed when Optimus Prime dies.
The LotR Extended trilogy
I can't say if RoboCop, Terminator, Blade Runner or El mundo es nuestro.
2001: A Space Odyssey
