Movies or TV shows you have watched more than once.

[Llance]

On a different forum the question was asked about movies you'd watch every six months. There is no way I'd want to watch most movies more than once a year, but I did make a list of movies I'd want to watch over and over again during the course of a decade. How about you, do you have a list of movies or tv shows that you want to see many times over?

Below is my list, in no particular order

The Robe
Ben Hur
Keys to the Kingdom
Lawrence of Arabia
Khartoum (best seen on big wraparound screen)
The Last Emperor
Tora, Tora, Tora
North by Northwest
Legends of the Fall
2001 and the sequel
A River Runs Through It
The French Lieutenant's Woman
Citizen Kane
A Walk in the Sun

That should see me through any depression.
A few tv shows to mix in without the commercials or having to wait a week to see the next episode. Naturally these will be all the episodes.

Danger UXB
New Tricks
All Creatures Great and Small
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries
Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts (mixed in for the laughs)
Dr. Martin
MidSomer Murders
Murdoch Mysteries
The Avengers
Gunsmoke
The Twilight Zone
Inspector Morse
The Jewel in the Crown
Father Brown
Endeavour
Grantchester
Laugh In
The Doctor Blake Mysteries

That should see me through a decade of entertainment, which is about all the time I have left. And if I live longer, I'll just watch them all over again.

There are movies that are so good, so compelling, or just so entertaining, that yeah, I watch them several times per year. If I'm channel-surfing, and one of them is playing, even though I have the DVD, and even if there's only 20 minutes left, I have to watch it to the end.

Off the top of my head...

* Casablanca
* Full Metal Jacket
* Animal House
* The Godfather I and II
* Key Largo
* Double Indemnity
* Patton
* Bataan
* Le Mans
* Where Eagles Dare
* Twelve Angry Men
* Twelve O'Clock High
* Stalag 17
* Seven Days in May
* In the Heat of the Night
* The Right Stuff
* The Swing Kids
* It Happened One Night
* The Great Raid
* Woman of the Year
* Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
* Woodstock
* The Big Sleep

I generally don't like to re-watch movies and TV shows I have already seen, but for some reason, "Dr. Strangelove" came on a couple nites ago, and I watched for like the 10th time. Must strike a chord in me somewhere....

[PeterJ]

Groundhog Day of course and The Searchers.

 

[Donn]

My tastes go toward the older, in some cases, more obscure films. The original Universal Studio Dracula, Wolf Man, and Frankenstein. The Sherlock Holmes series from the same studio, with Rathbone & Bruce. Cagney in "Public Enemy," Robinson in "Little Caesar." Barry Fitzgerald in "The Naked City" just to name a few. I'll watch them every time they're on.

I dumped cable TV years ago, and I have none of the pay-for-old-movie services like Netflix...I watch old movies at no charge on YouTube, and from my old DVD accumulation...Right now it's season six of The Shield on DVD for the ump-zillionth time......Ben

 

[turnerriver]

I remember my father taking me to a double feature when I was a kid- Gunfight at the OK Corral and Last Train to Gun Hill.
For some reason OK Corral stayed with me, I've watched it dozens of times over the last 55 + years but have watched Last Train only once or twice.
I have a bi-weekly movie night with friends here during the summer and The Wild Bunch is one of the few we've watched repeatedly.
Regards,

 

[Wrangler Rich]

Second hand lions

Any John Wayne film
