What movies do you watch over and over again?


Recommended Posts

Shawshank Redemption

The Quick and The Dead

A League of the Their Own

 

The above we don't own but every time they are on tv I have to watch the rest.

 

Princess Bride and Harry Potter are the ones I own and watch often. The kids know when I ask if they want to watch a movie, what I mean is which HP do you want to watch? Order of the Phoenix is my fav, BTW.

When I'm by myself, I tend to go for "chick flicks" - Sweet Home Alabama, Pretty Woman, Father of the Bride, etc.

 

If it's my dd and me, we'll watch Legally Blond, Sabrina, and the ones I mentioned above.

 

If it's the 4 of us, movies we can watch over and over are Ocean 11 (& 12/13), Fifth Element, HP, LOTR, The Italian Job, Catch Me if You Can, True Lies, comic book movies (Iron Man, Avengers, etc)....basically action movies but not too intense.

 

We love movies, and since we don't have cable/satellite, we watch a lot of them. We also watch a lot of Netflix shows, like Dr. Who, Star Trek, and other sci-fi series, as well as newer things like Downton Abbey & Sherlock.

Alice in wonderland

 

Which one?

 

ETA: My two favorite old movies are both Cary Grant movies. I love My Favorite Wife and Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.

 

I was *just* quoting "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer". I LOVE that movie!

 

Ocean's 11

 

The original or the remake? I love the original one.

 

Reign of Fire (Christian Bale, Gerard Butler, and dragons!)r

 

Oh I LOVE that movie! "Only one thing worse than a dragon... Americans."

 

 

Back in the days of VHS and video stores there was only one VHS that I really needed to own - Twin Peaks. My rule for buying VHS was if I would save money by owning it rather than renting it. Then I became a mother and that rule generally became "Buy anything that will keep her happy while sick with the flu" but really it was more that I bought what we liked enough to watch twice. I won't buy a DVD unless we've seen it and liked it. This has lead to way too many DVDs. Now my rule about buying old movies is "If I will stop to watch a movie that is on TV and waste a day I need to buy it". That rule has resulted in a rather interesting buying pattern. Who knew I loved "Tombstone" (Val Kilmer) or "Steel Magnolias"?

 

Okay, so the answer to the question. This is off the top of my head and without looking at my DVDs.

 

Anything by Hayao Miyazaki (Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro, etc)

Babe: Pig in the City

The Twilight Saga (especially if I am down with a migraine and need to listen rather than watch)

Auntie Mame (Rosalind Russell version)

Frida

The Ugly Dachshund

Independence Day

Amelie

The Mummy 1 and 2

Annie (1982 version)

Yours, Mine, and Ours (original)

The Hunger Games

 

TV

Being Human (BBC version)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
