Movies you watch over and over again, and never get sick of

way way way too many to remember... I tend to watch movies pre-1970 on TCM.

Even though available on disc 24/7 I cannot resist:
Big - must be the Zoltar machine
Once Upon A Time In The West - Morricone what can you do...
Indiana Jones - even young Indy
Being John Malkovich - a true original
Thelma & Louise - southwest scenery
Seven Years In Tibet - deja vu ... watch again

... and many more I'm sure. All I can think of at the moment.

 

Casablanca -- Every viewing is like reconnecting with an old friend; an almost perfect film with its exotic characters, all perfectly cast

A Hard Day's Night and Help! -- The freshness, energy and urgency in The Beatles' music never fades

It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World -- I know every line of dialogue by heart, but I still laugh out loud at the best lines and visual gags

Open Range -- The script and the acting are all fine, but what makes this deserving of repeated viewings is the breathtaking cinematography

My Fair Lady and The Music Man -- Most musicals drag on forever, but these two are paced beautifully and almost all of the songs are classics

The Thin Man (and its five sequels) -- The plots are instantly forgettable, but the interplay between Myrna Loy and William Powell (and Asta) is absolute magic

To Catch A Thief -- Some of the best dialogue ever written for film, coupled with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly, plus Hitchcock directing

 

I'm with you on all of the above titles.

"Father Goose" and "The Russians Are Coming" don't get the respect they deserve, but I always love sitting down to watch those two.

 

THE BIG NOISE(1944)was long considered Laurel and Hardy's worst film, but something always draws me back to it. (And I always felt 1942's A-HAUNTING WE WILL GO was the worst L&H film.)
