My most 2 most favorite movies of all time are The Great Escape and Gladiator (Russell Crowe version). I never get tired of watching either of them.
Here are some of my other favorites that I also love to watch over and over. I know I’m missing some, but here’s what I can think of off the top of my head:
Dirty Dancing
Men at Work (this one just cracks me up every time!)
Napolean Dynamite (this one too!)
Labryinth
Legend
LOTR trilogy
The Horse Whisperer
Indiana Jones Movies (All of them, but especially The Temple of Doom).
Pink Panther movies (None of these have Steve Martin in them! GOD NO!)
One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Batman (the first one with Michael Keaton)
007 movies (I like all of them, but prefer the Sean Connery ones. But I am in love with Daniel Craig!)
Rear Window
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
The Three AmigosNow, for the one most stupid movie I can think of that I just have to watch, if I happen to be flipping through channels and find that it’s on:
Weekend at Bernie’s
October 2, 2007 at 1:49 am #622730Most of my favorites have already been mentioned except I love Ladyhawk, serendipity, The never ending story and for old ones, I like Arsnic and old lace, The bishops wife, It’s a mad mad mad mad world, Harvy, The shop around the corner, Operation Petticoat. Oh, too many to list. 😆
October 2, 2007 at 2:12 am #622731Well my ‘guilty pleasure’ would have to be Commando. I’ve watched it well over 50 times for some reason. I’m sure I’d regret the wasted time, lying in my death bed, decades from now…hmmm…sounds so sad… 🙁
My favorite classic is Casablanca. For some reason it never gets old for me….
Here are the rest, in no particular order:
Princess Bride
Reign of Fire
Remains of the Day
LOTR
Harry Potter Movies
Snatch (approaching Commando status, but a much better movie)
Sixth Sense
3:10 to Yuma
Breakfast Club
Say Anything (story of my life)
Interview with a Vampire
Cyrano de Bergerac (new version)
Romeo & Juliet (with Leonardo)
Moulin Rogue
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape
Hero
X-Men 1&2 (I hated the 3rd one)
Spider-Man 1,2,&3 (best superhero series so far)
Predator
Bat-Man Begins
Gladiator
Braveheart
13th Warrior
Underworld 1&2
Napoleon Dynamite
The Profesional director’s cut (much better than the released version)
The Descant director’s cut (totally different ending & is much better)
Superman Returns
Godfather 1&2
Pan’s Labryth
Apocalypto
Pulp Fiction
Fight Club
Goodwill Hunting
Clerks
Shall We Dance (Japanese version)
Seven Samurais
Kung-fu Hustle
Black Hawk Down
Se7en
Blade Runner director’s cut
RockyI’m sure there’s a tom more & I’ll edit them in….
October 2, 2007 at 2:17 am #622732The new Transformers movie will never get old for me. I saw it 6 times in normal theatres, so far 3 times in IMAX (will be forth soon) and I have a dvd copy of it that I’ve watched probably 10 times by now. Can’t wait till the 17th, when the actual DVD is released!!
Other than that, Howl’s Moving Castle!! I love that movie so much. This movie is also animated like “old times”, as in… zero computer animation was used. All those scenes with the castle walking was all hand drawn and painted. Amazing.
And my ferret is named after Howl 😉I also like Willy Wonka 2005 and Hidalgo… those won’t ever get old either. Also Vampire Hunter D/BloodLust and Akira.
October 2, 2007 at 2:36 am #622733Well, most of my favorites have already been listed here, but one that hasn’t been mentioned that I love is The Tenth Kingdom. Has none of you ever seen it, or did you not like it?

I saw it when it first came out. Enough that I bought the tapes. But, alas, I got rid of my tapes years ago. So other than a couple people in it, I really don’t remember much. 😕 I have the book somewhere though, so maybe I’ll search for it and read it. That’d be something different.
October 2, 2007 at 5:12 am #622735I’ve watched it on TV when it came out, I have the book and I have it on DVD. Great stuff but too long to watch all at once.

“We’ve got cabin fever, we’re flipping our bandanas! Been stuck at sea so long that we have simply gone bananas!”
Im so glad Im not the only person that loves that movie. I think it’s way better than the other muppet movies personally.
I would help but I am just to tired to get out of bed today~
Engaged to a WeaselOctober 2, 2007 at 6:52 am #622737Oh, I forgot Remember the Titans. That was a great one! And Labrynth. I agree with you all there.
October 2, 2007 at 7:05 am #622738The movies I watch over and over – when I do watch movies, which isn’t that often – are the following:
LotR seriesStar Wars (the original three)
Pirates of the Caribbean (all, though the first and second are way better than the third)
Arsenic and Old Lace (I just love that movie)
Rear Window
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
I, Robot
Terminator
Indiana Jones (especially the Temple of Doom)
Van Helsing
The Mummy
The Mummy Returns
Don Camillo und Peppone (a German-Italian production based on the hilarious books about a priest and a commie mayor in a little post-WWII Italian town)
And then I love the old b/w TV series, like Mayberry and Beverly Hillbillies and the old Disney cartoons…My favorite movies of all, though, are Black Hawk Down and To End All Wars. I watch BHD once a year on the anniversary of Operation Restore Hope, and I’ve only watched To End All Wars once, because it’s so sad.
There are others, but that’s all I can think of now.
October 2, 2007 at 1:57 pm #622739Thanks for reminding me about Black Hawk Down, GB…it’s my favorite war movie…I think it was Orlando Bloom’s first movie also…rt?
October 2, 2007 at 2:11 pm #622740Oh, I forgot Benny and Joon, Waynes World, Edward Scissorhands, Farris Buellers Day Off.

Orlando Bloom – yech. His milk-soppish face so didn’t fit Blackburn, or Legolas either, for that matter.

Well I thought he did a good job in BHD… 🙄
October 2, 2007 at 8:28 pm #622743His acting is fine, no doubt about that. But his face is too soft. Of course, after he fell out of the 60 his part was over…
