The Most Rewatchable Movies

Tie for me: Bullett and Animal House. What's that tell ya about my life lol

 

Am I really the first to mention Almost Famous?

 

A few of mine I don't think were named -
The Third Man
The Seventh Seal
The Naked Spur
The Wild Bunch
The Man Who Would Be King

 

Besides many already mentioned:

Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Planet of the Apes (1968)
Of the Hitchcock movies: Rebecca the most

 

There are so many. But ever since I was a kid I could watch No Time For Sergeants over and over and still laugh out loud.

"He put 'em together didn't he?"

"But he did it all wrong..."



"Sgt. King is the best danged Sgt. they is in the whole danged Air Force!"

 

I'll go with Casablanca as well. Also, Blade Runner and Lawrence of Arabia - but these two have to be the blu rays to fully take in the beautiful/interesting scenery.

 

Young Frankenstein
The In-Laws (the Falk/Arkin original, not the dreadful remake)
Tune In Tomorrow
The Mambo Kings
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

+1 for The Man Who Would Be King

 

How could I have forgotten about the Vacation movies. Of course add them to the list.

 

JAWS

I'm never not in the mood for JAWS.

 

Inglourious Basterds
Boogie Nights
Hot Rod
The Godfather
Step Brothers

I just saw "Jaws" on the big screen two weeks ago. Fun stuff.

 

That's a great choice. I've probably seen it a half-a-dozen times, myself. I recently introduced my 14 year old to it and he loved it very much.

 

Umm,ok...Ten Commandments..Goodfellas..The Wolfman[1941]..Magnificent Seven[both versions]..Diary Of A Mad Black Woman[best of the Medea movies]..Batman Begins..The Searchers..Hang Em High..The Devil At Four O'Clock..Shaft[1971 only]..Big..Claudine..The Lone Ranger[ok so I'm the only one here who likes the Johnny Depp version]..The Wizard Of Oz..Titanic..Spiderman[Toby Maguire only]..Troy..Devil In The Blue Dress..Jaws..Colombiana..Frankenstein Vs.The Wolfman..Lovejones..Avatar..Sherlock Holmes.

 

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind
The Day The Earth Stood Still (original)
Quatermass & The Pit
Rollerball (James Caan)
The Quiet Man
2001 A Space Odessey
The Exorcist
Jaws
The Phantom Carriage
Scrooge (Alister Simm)
Ice Cold In Alex
"M" Fritz Lang
The Killing Fields
Whistle Down The Wind
& Many more.

 

Bronson: Death Wish II
"Music composed and performed by Jimmy Page"
Ideal for testing a new girlfriend's sense of absurdity.

 

That's the one film I debated putting on my list. I've probably seen it 10+ times; certain passages maybe three times that. I would categorize it as my favorite movie ever and probably what I consider to be among the 5 or 10 best movies I've ever seen. I only hesitated because there are for sure some slower parts of 2001 and personally I don't know if it would meet my criteria that I mentioned in my OP. Although it's close.

It's a great choice though. High art.

It's funny, I think The Quiet Man is John Ford's best movie. I saw it many years after having seen the other notables on cable and so forth.

 

North By Northwest
Local Hero
Jaws
American Graffiti
Never Cry Wolf
Blazing Saddles
My Favorite Year
The Stunt Man

Honorary Mention: Apollo 13 - Have seen more than I might have because it's one of my wife's favorites, but it is surprisingly re-watchable. Having one of the best casts of all time doesn't hurt either.

Bogart
Eastwood

Sci Fi
Predator
