I watch Groundhog Day whenever it comes on, which lately seems to be monthly.

I don't mean to watch Groundhog Day over and over...it just happens.

how did I forget Office Space?

Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Love Actually at Christmas. I went through a classic movie phase for several years and watched Casablanca, Philadelphia Story, anything with Katherine Hepburn multiple times.

I was changing channels during a timeout in the Florida/South Carolina game and found "Bring It On" - which is a favorite. Then I flipped around again to find "Yours Mine and Ours" - Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda - the scene in the bar where she loses her slip and her fake eyelash goes wandering is wonderful!

Idiocracy. It becomes more relevant each time I see it. The only film ever to start as a comedy and evolve into a documentary.

I have a soft spot in my heart for both The Music Man and Bye, Bye Birdie. I watch them again and again.

As a kid, I remember being pretty enthralled with Ann Margret and that sweater in Lovely to be a Woman.

The sweater appears at about 1:10

how can no one have mentioned "It's a Wonderful Life"?! For us, we have an annual ritual of that, and Scrooge, the Albert Finney version. For "It's a Wonderful Life" I cry at a different section every year. For the past 16 years...

I'm with you on IAWL. I think I overlooked it because it's such a common choice, but yeah, it never gets old. And I still shed a tear here and there.

(Hell, today I watched Independence Day, another big time repeater for me, and I cried during Randy Quaid's farewell heroics.)

My cousin Vinny, Field of Dreams, Shawshank Redemption, Godfather 2, Back to the Future.

I waited a long time to see The Sixth Sense a second time but despite knowing the ending the movie is still enjoyable to watch again.

I have seen many Bond films and action flicks numerous times but really don't care if see any of them again. they are mindless entertainment for the most part.

There are some movies I wish they showed more - like Putney Swope. Recently saw the heartbreak kid (original one - remake was unwatchable).

Harold and Maude is probably my favorite. I only need to watch it every few years, but I'm not done rewatching it yet.

A friend of mine had a favorite in the Swedish movie My Life As A Dog.

Groundhog Day is definitely worth rewatching many times. It is the story of life. We mess up. Yet we wake up forgiven and given another chance to try again and do it better.

Moonstruck with Cher is a movie I've watched a few times. I'm really not a fan of Cher but she really fits the part.

Have to add My Cousin Vinny! The scene with Marisa Tomei on the witness stand is great! She won Best Supporting Actress in 1993 for that movie.

A little thread drift to ponder: What movie that you thought was excellent would you still never watch again? For me, it would have to be Saving Private Ryan. That brutal opening sequence still haunts me.

Requiem For A Dream.

I liked Requiem for a Dream and didn't want to see it again. I told my wife about it, and she wanted to see it, so I watched it again. Ouch. Basically, I tolerate violence in movies, but I don't like it, so I feel the same about a lot of violent movies.

Why is violence rated PG or R and sex is rated X? That's backwards.

If I see Black Hawk Down is on I will watch it. Even though I already own it.

Network

Sleeper

Annie Hall

Rear Window

Vertigo

A Hard Day's Night

Gimme Shelter

Blue Velvet

Taxi Driver

Psycho

It's impossible for me to turn off Planes Trains and Automobiles, regardless of where I enter the film when it's on. Another one I never tire of but is infrequently (if ever) broadcast - American Psycho. Excuse, me I have to return some video tapes.

I've also probably seen Midnight Run as many times as The Big Lebowski and Mad, Mad World ..

cool, I actually started American Psycho again today.

I'm a fan of PTAA too. Definitely a re-watcher.

I'm surprised to see so many people still watch movies on TV. I would never think to do that, and I have no idea what is airing when.

I don't either. I channel surf, and there are many movies that I just stop and watch whenever they're on.
