shinyhappypeople Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 ... watch over and over again without tiring of them? I ask because I'm watching The King's Speech for the 5th (6th?) time. I can't count the number of times I've watched the Keira Knightley version of Pride & Prejudice. If I owned it, I'd probably binge on Shawshank Redemption, too.

LibraryLover Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 A League of Their Own Casablanca Finding Nemo Billy Elliot The Wedding Singer There are others I love, yet these are the ones I go to the most for comfort. ETA: I really enjoy The King's Speech, but there is too much sad baggage associated with it. Casablanca almost borders on that, but Rick didn't have the burdens of King George, or the pain of Princess/Queen Elizabeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Used to be Strictly Ballroom. Now probably Gosford Park. These are both on my watch-many-times list. Also Young Frankenstein, Sense and Sensibility, Groundhog Day, Amadeus, The Princess Bride, and Pretty in Pink. Not a movie, but I also never get tired of the Fry and Laurie Jeeves and Wooster.

annandatje Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 With a few unintended exceptions, I had never watched a film more than once until I had children who asked me to watch same movie more than once. Honestly there are no films I could watch over and over again left to my own devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinyhappypeople Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 White Christmas The Muppets Christmas Carol The King's Speech (my very favorite movie!) Apollo 13 Hoosiers Ocean's 11 My Big Fat Greek Wedding I know, right?!! Isn't it amazing? Love, love, love that movie. This has been a fun thread. Lots of movies I'd forgotten about. Adding to my list of favorites: DEAD POETS SOCIETY (how did I forget that one????) Amazing Grace North and South (BBC) Parenthood (the movie) and the trinity: Christmas Vacation/Christmas Story/Elf (annual tradition, though my girls watch Elf year-round) TV Shows: Freaks and Geeks (oh my gosh, a BRILLIANT show!! DH was the age of the younger brother in 1980 and had some of those outfits...) White Collar (which blatantly manipulates my emotions, but I'm hypnotized by those blue eyes and just.don't.care. :001_cool: ) Alias (the father-daughter theme just kills me, in a good way, and the supporting cast is fantastic) Oh, and a movie that might end up being a "watch again" : Take Me Home. I watched it awhile back and it's stayed with me, so I think I need to watch it again. I love Netflix instant streaming. There are *so many* good movies I'd have missed without it.

littlebug42 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Bull Durham 50 First Dates When Harry Met Sally Overboard The Holiday Catch and Release Many others already mentioned as well. If I really enjoyed something, I can watch it over and over again. I tend to steer clear of anything too serious or depressing. I have seen Gone with the Wind more times than I can count but don't spend too much time with it anymore as it is just too depressing.
