Primer. Twice before and once after reading an explanation
Princess Bride
Kung Fu Hustle I’ve seen countless times.
That and Shaolin Soccer are sacred films to me. :D
Journey To The West as well, though.
I'll have to find this one! Also a Stephen Chow movie?
Yes. It’s very similar to Kung Fu Hustle, but in a fantasy setting. It’s loosely based on some Chinese folklore of the same name.
Brazil (1984)
the lotr trilogy is a good one, especially if you have the extended versions.
One movie to rule them all
- Month Python and the Holy Grail
- Young Frankenstein
- Seven Samurai
- LOTR Trilogy
I see a lot of LOTR fans here. Good crowd.
Pulp Fiction
I watched that like 8 times over the course of summer holiday as a teen.
My parents were on vacation, I'd borrowed it from the library and every time some friends visited, they saw the dvd and went "oh lets watch pulp fiction!".
It does lose some of it's appeal around viewing 5, but still enjoyable. But me and my one friend who was there often could almost act the whole movie by the end, so that was fun.

Primer
Napoleon Dynamite
Primer doesn't count. You haven't watched it once until you've watched it three times.
I watch The Hogfather every Christmas (Hogswatch?) Eve. Think the count is up to 11 or 12 now.
Tron: Legacy (that's 2010) This is probably more driven by limited selection in the cable days than free choice, but I do enjoy these. Not everything has to be a masterpiece to be enjoyable
Demolition Man
Probably most Star Wars between 1-6
Probably Fast and Furious 1, 2, 3.
Jurassic Park 1 and 3 (I swear 2 never aired on cable)
Spider Man, Toby maguire, 1 and 2
Probably half the Pirates of the Caribbean
Batman Begins, maybe The Dark Knight
Men In Black, definitely
Shrek
Elf
Honorable mention due to irony: I accidentally watched Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind a second time, forgetting I watched it already.
Lots.
The OG Star Wars (4, 5, 6)
Shawshank Redemption
Edge Of Tomorrow

Ocean’s 11
The Name Of The Rose
The Last Mohican
Master And Commander
5th Element
Any of the Monty Python films, but especially Quest for the Holy Grail
That’s a start.
If I had to whittle it down to absolute favorites: Princess Bride, Monty Python, and OG Star Wars.
Midnight Run - it's just a perfect movie, not one frame is superfluous in this movie
The Thing - yearly re-watch
Spirited Away - yearly re-watch (always accompanied by other Miyazaki movies)
Smiley Face - one of the few movies that make me smile, Anna Faris is the cutest thing ever
Alien - I watched it secretly as a kid while everybody was asleep at home, and watched it who knows how many times since. It didn't scare me, it kindled my love for sci-fi.
I watched the thing for the first time very recently. That movie holds up so well.
I revisit Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind every few years when I wanna get my guts all twisted into knots.
I think when Kaufman is left on his own he's too much of a bummer and Gondry on his own is just too far out. But somehow they come together in a perfect balance with Jim Carey in perhaps his best serious role, IMHO. The soundtrack really takes it the extra mile.
I appreciate it because Joel and Clementine come off as just two kinda fucked up people having a kinda fucked up relationship; very relatable. Neither is perfect or completely at fault and the film very much leaves it up to your interpretation if they can or should work together. I don't think it has a happy ending, do you? Compare that to something like 500 Days of Summer where you're really supposed to sympathize with Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character but mostly I end up wanting to push him into the mud. Hard.
The subplot between the doctor and his secretary is maybe a little unnecessary? But Kirsten Dunst is amazing so whatever.
