Goonies .. at least a twenty times. The greatest film ever made!

All of the Harry Potters at least 8-10 times. Immersive.

Any of the Chevy Chase ‘vacation’ films. I must have seen Christmas Vacation at least 10 times. Stupidity at its finest.

Top Gun around a dozen times. I was stationed in Canada and it had not yet gone on release in the U.K. or Germany. Everybody arriving in the Hangar on detachment wanted to see it.

American Pie. Growing pains!

Sound of music my mum took me every saturday for 6 months when it first came out on the cinema so about 26 times there, then everytime it was on tv, then I got the video . Been to the location in Salzburg, I just love it

I have asked this before but I can’t get my head round watching the same thing over and over .
I’m not a film watcher anyway but surely once you have seen it 2 or 3 times you have seen all the little bits you missed first time ?

What do you gain from knowing what’s going to happen next ?

Too many to list, to be honest... As a kid in the eighties, the pseudo animated/live action mix of Lord of the Rings (covered one and a bit of the books) ... Genuinely surprised we didn't wear out the VHS tape or kids and I watched it so many times. Shame they didn't finish it with a second film.
Shawshank gets watched a lot, Aliens, Grosse Pointe Blank, Enter the Dragon, Indiana Jones, Star Wars (Ep IV onwards...), Stardust is almost a modern Princess Bride... Could go on and on.

I think part of it is the fact you know you are going to enjoy it. I’ve watched loads of films once that are a load of rubbish and I wish I had I hadn’t wasted a couple of hours of my life on it. So sometimes I just want to watch something I know I am going to like.

For me I can rewatch most films that I enjoy, but particularly the Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean films.

I have a few -
Pretty Woman - I love Richard Gere
Dirty Dancing - just because
Ghost - Whoopi Goldberg
Grease - I always wanted to be Sandy
Indecent Proposal- would you or wouldn’t you?
My all time favourite however is Gone with the Wind - I appreciate in this day and age it’s not the best film to like given the slavery but that aside I love the beautiful gowns, I think Vivien Leigh was stunning and Clark Gable incredibly handsome.
I have a few others but they are probably my top ones

[duchy]

Top Gun (must be the aeroplanes right ? )
Love Actually (it isn’t Christmas til I’ve watched it)
Notting Hill , love the dinner party scene.
And have to agree with TinkerTangled about Ghost

[jemett]

Con Air one of my favourites and I don’t know why. I love it.

All the Jurassic park films

Gladiator

Pulp Fiction

All the Avengers films including Guardians of the Galaxy ones

[Princess Ariel]

Up
All of the Harry Potter films
Goonies
Mary poppins
Sound of music
Moana
Toy story
Nightmare on elm street
Enemy of the state
Fried green tomatoes at the whistle stop cafe

There’s loads more but these were the first that sprung to mind. I love films
