What movie could you watch repeatedly?

Tootsie. And I do.

Galaxy Quest

His Girl Friday

I used to watch The Sheltering Sky over and over. I go through periods of rewatching movies dozens of times then I totally lose interest or don't watch them again for years. I keep replaying Frownland on the Criterion Channel now, I just have it on in the background most of the time but I'm still not sick of it. I love The Exorcist especially the opening scenes in Iraq and up until the actual exorcism. I always stop it at the exorcism scenes, I lose interest , it seems to become just another horror movie at that point.

Greater Tuna.

The 1983? HBO special

Darling, hand me my muff. Holiday movie on Lifetime.

Showgirls….. always must watch that terrible film.

The Year of Living Dangerously and Going Places

I agree with Tootsie and How to Marry a Millionaire named above. They are both so cute.

In that vein, I would add Desperately Seeking Susan.

The one I watch the most, though, is The Best of Everything. I just love the way it looks.

The Green Mile

Ruthless People

9 to 5

Singin in the Rain

Shadow of a Doubt (1943)

[quote] Showgirls….. always must watch that terrible film.

Don’t spill anything on your VERSAYCE kaftan.

Easy A is my comfort movie.

Musical are good multi view or having on in the background, my choice is Hedwig.

Call Me By Your Name is my escape to another place/time movie.

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

Passionate love in the bloom of youth, cold realities of adulthood, heartbreak, acceptance, and above all else, timeless beauty.

The trailer makes me want to watch it all again right this minute.

Big Hero Six

Shawn the Sheep

Pride and Prejudice, 2005

Mildred Pierce--I downloaded it at the dawn of the information age to my ThinkPad® & spent many happy hours on the LAX/LHR commute reveling in all of their antics!

Sunset Boulevard--If you've ever lived out here, you know how true it still is!

2001: A Space Odyssey--HAL will always be my fave, & Gary Lockwood's delicious body, the flatscreen displays, the music, the final scene in the bedroom--my bedroom is now painted the same shade, & some nights . . .

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Ship of Fools--I've worn out my CD listening to the the music . . . Vivien Leigh is fabulous!

Murder By Death

Gone with the Wind, Rebecca (1940), nightmare on elm street (1-4), Friday the 13th (1-8).

Manhattan Murder Mystery - just thinking about it puts a smile on my face.

Metropolis

Too many Hitchcocks to mention

Buck Privates (an Abbott & Costello movie)

OP, are you me? I was thinking last night about "Grand Canyon" and how it feels very spiritual to me. Have watched it numerous times. Will have to go back for another uplift soon!

Gosford Park, with captions on.

I've seen both Godfathers and An Unmarried Woman at least ten times each. Not as many times, but more than once or twice: Moonstruck, Interiors, Annie Hall, Broadcast News, A Few Good Men, Kramer v. Kramer. But that's all a long time ago.

In this century, the only movies I've watched twice are CMBYN, tick, tick, BOOM!, and Manchester by the Sea.

At this point, I don't know if I'd want to watch any of them, or any other movie, repeatedly.

Soapdish

Grey Gardens

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Napoleon Dynamite

Annie Hall

The Hangover

Boys in the Band (1970), Meet Me in St. Louis, Mame, anything by Kubrick, Blade Runner, Some Like it Hot and Spinal Tap, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind.

^Soapdish never disappoints. It’s so wonderful!

Happy to see a lot of comedies here. With dramas, you know what is coming, and it lessens the “impact”

Movies like Airplane, Soapdish, Galaxy Quest, etc. It is hysterical every time.

I can't believe I forgot Space Balls!

Another vote for Galaxy Quest

A Fish Called Wanda

Boogie Nights

Days of Heaven

Devil Wears Prada

Silence of the Lambs

Buck would never had watched Ordinary People more than once but I’ve seen it a couple of dozen times

There are so many good movie listed in this most excellent thread.

I rewatched Mermaids last night after listening to a podcast about it. It was better than I remembered - really great.

The Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind, the Sound of Music, the Ten Commandments, Citizen Kane, original Star Wars...

There's a group of films that I re-watch cyclically, every year or two.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)

The Time Machine (1960)

A Fistful of Dollars (1964)

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (1966)

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973)

Death Race 2000 (1975)

Dawn of the Dead (1978) theatrical cut

The Silence of the Lambs (1990)

There's probably some that I'm leaving out, but these are the ones that come to mind.

Any Hitchcock movie, my favorites are Marnie, The Birds, and Rear Window. Halloween (1978), Limelight, The Fearless Vampire Killers, The Silence of the Lambs, Murder on the Orient Express (1974), and Jaws (1975). That’s about 1/4 of my movie purchases on Amazon that I rewatch regularly.

What? No love for All About Eve or The Lion in Winter? Two of the best screenplays EVAH.

I used to watch The Lion in Winter (1968) every year, but I've cut back. Maybe every four or five years now.

"What's Up, Doc ?" - funniest comedy ever. Made Madeline Khan a star.

Goodfellas, Raising Arizona, Full Metal Jacket, Slapshot, 9-5,

Cannonball Run

Smokey and the Bandits

The Taming of the Shrew, 1967

The Day of the Jackal. Not that horrible abomination of a remake with Richard Gere and Bruce Willis, but the original in the 70s with a very cool and sexy young Edward Fox. And yes you do get to see him naked.

Casablanca

The Other Side Of Aspen

2001, The Last Picture Show, All About Eve, GWTW, Annie Hall, Maurice, Ordinary People, The Birds, To Catch A Thief, Jesus Of Nazareth, Romeo and Juliet, Blue Jasmine, Bullitt, Alien, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Foul Play, Moonstruck, Mildred Pierce, Peyton Place, Palm Springs Weekend, The Trouble With Angels, That Darn Cat, The Moonspinners, The Best Years Of Our Lives, Shadow Of A Doubt, The Little Foxes, A Passage To India...

The Wizard of Oz - Like many Boomers I've seen it more than any film ever, yet the last time I watched it last Christmas, it seemed new and fresh and had so many little moments I'd forgotten about. I was surprised.

Sunset Boulevard never fails to blow me away, it is so good.

The Trouble With Angels. If you don't like it, you're a monster!

Little Shop of Horrors 1986, theatrical cut.

Now Voyager and Brief Encounter

Also almost everything from Hitchcock Mommie dearest All the Harry Potter movie, and the Star Wars ones Where the boys are Barefoot in the park Cruella Ginger and Fred Adele H Basic Instinct Arizona Dream And so many more

Torch Song Trilogy

Cabaret

Parting Glances

I saw Parting Glances a year or two after it came out on HBO back when HBO was relatively new. I was transfixed by it, and every couple of years I would watch it again and notice something I'd never noticed before. It truly was a great movie. Young'uns, if you've never seen it, you should. Consider it part of your gay history education.

LOTR trilogy. I probably watched it 20 times. Helps me unwind.

R102 I watched it too on some early movie channel with no idea what it was about. That opening scene of running in Riverside Park and then coming into the apartment and waking up the sleeping boyfriend with sex blew my teenaged mind.

The Stud

What's Up Doc? Never fails to bring a smile no matter how many times I see it.

I watch Marco Berger's "Hawaii" about once a year.

I enjoy revisitng Martín & Eugenio, and like to think of them still inhabiting their little bit of paradise in the Argentine countryside. Timeless.

Ghostbusters...Tootsie...O Brother, Where Art Thou.

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

"Sister Act", "Trick", and "Beautiful Thing".

'night, Mother

The Haunting

What's Up, Doc?

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Goodbye, Mr. Chips ('69)

Raising Arizona. Nic Cage, so hot and funny. Holly Hunter, never better. Everyone's great, Frances McDormand, John Goodman, Sam McMurray. And so eye-poppingly photographed it looks like a Looney Tunes cartoon come to life.

In the order of how many times I have watched them from most to least (which is still a lot):

Godfather l

Godfather 2

The Queen

Goodfellas

Sunset Boulevard

Emma (Jeremy North is so hot)

L.A. Confidential

Metropolitan

I rewatch and rewatch the Langella Dracula remake all the time. It kind of keeps me company. I can't explain it. I think I'm going crazy.

Bay Coven starring Pamela Sue Martin

Peggy Sue Got Married. A hidden gem of a film so rewatchable in no small part due to Kathleen Turner's heartfelt performance.

Sense and sensibility (Emma Thomason’s adaptions)

Bridget jones (first movie)

The Secret of NIMH

9 to 5

Alien 2

Superman 2

Jaws 2

Friday The 13 films (except for the bad one)

All the Nightmare O.E.S. films except for the remake

Philadelphia Story

Rosemary's Baby

Dawson’s 50-Load Weekend

This Is Spinal Tap

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

Persuasion (1995)

Happy Go Lucky

Sneakers

Groundhog Day

Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day

I think "Peggy Sue Got Married" could be the best film of the 1980s, and at least the most watchable.

Everyone is excellent and the direction by Coppola is perfect.

Attack of the Killer Shrews

The Giant Gila Monster

Attack of the Puppet People

The Bowery Boys in Baghdad

I Was a Teenage Horn Dog

After Hours

Robocop. The original.

The Talented Mr. Ripley

Bride of Frankenstein

Sunset Boulevard

Superman

All About Eve

The Letter

The Phantom of the Opera(1925, 1943 and 2004)

The Adventures of Robin Hood

William Higgins' Cousins

The Remains of the Day

The Phantom Thread

An Affair to Remember (I saw this on a plane coming back from a memorable trip so I think that has something to do with it).

The Clock (the garland-walker New York set romance)

The Killing (Kubrick at his finest)

The Set Up (love Robert Ryan in this and it’s such a short movie)

Saturday Night Fever

Summertime (sends me on vacation every time)

Sullivan’s travels (love the film and also Joel Mccrea is so damn sexy)

I might watch clips from some of these films but never re-watch a whole film.

Withnail and I - mostly for Uncle Monty

A few from Woody Allen - Bullets Over Broadway, Radio Days, Hannah and Her Sisters, September and Interiors.

Classics - All About Eve, Sunset Boulevard, Stage Door, The Wizard of Oz, GWTW, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

Others - Serial Mom, The Remains of the Day

Big Business

I watch several movies 1x a year:

Here are a few:

The Ten Commandments

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane

Sunset Boulevard

La ronde

Madame de...

Naked Gun 2 1/2.

Mel Brooks History Of The World Pt. 1.

Airplane!

Groundhog Day

Pirate Radio. Indiscreet. Philadelphia Story.

I don’t know about repeatedly, but I have watched God’s Own Country about half a dozen times

Radio Days

I have seen Radio Days many, many times. I love it, and it leaves me with this wistful melancholy feeling, which I believe is the point. It's fun and all, but it reminds us that our experiences as a child or young person are like gold, and then they are gone, replaced by the far less magical life of an adult.

The Wizard of Oz

The Birdcage. It’s practically required watching over at the beach.

To Wong Fu, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. Ditto

Death Becomes Her

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Moonstruck
