What infinitely replayable classics have you watched at least ten times? - Page 3

Just off the top of my head:

American President
Casino
A Few Good Men
Goodfellas
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Pretty Woman
Scrooged
Shawshank Redemption
Top Gun

Some honorable mentions would be Armageddon, Bad Boys II, Jerry Maguire, Office Space, and Tombstone.

I tend to agree that comedies and/or seasonal titles hold up well to multiple viewings, but I also think "popcorn fare" movies (ie; most of Michael Bay's catalog) hold up very well to multiple viewings.

Off the top of my head are:

Jurassic Park
The Dark Night
LOTR:FOTR
LOTR:ROTK
Gladiator
Braveheart
The Matrix:reloaded
Tangled(I have girls)

Note, I have already watched the Avengers and The Dark Night Rises 5 times each and will easily see both 10 times.

Any Clint Eastwood western and most of his Dirty Harry/cop movies.

Elf (family Christmas movie) and Christmas Vacation
A Christmas Story

The Big Hit (with Marky Mark) just really like this movie for some reason.

That's about all I can recall currently.

These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head but I am sure I am forgetting a few:

Back to the Future 1, 2, & 3 (am I the only one that thinks the third is actually good and worth watching?)
A New Hope
Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Raider of the Lost Ark
Temple of Doom
The Last Crusade
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
The Rocketeer
Ghostbusters 1 & 2
MSt3k - Space Mutiny & Prince of Space (They count as movies right?)
Serenity
The Fifth Element
Die Hard
Labyrinth
The Dark Crystal
Beetleguise
Batman (Tim Burton)
Galaxy Express 999
Adieu Galaxy Express 999
Iria: Zeiram the Animation
Kiki's Delivery Service
Spirited Away
Howl's Moving Castle

Do I have to turn in my AVS membership card if I admit that I have never watched anything 10 times? I have probably watched The Blues Brothers 5 or 6 times, and a handful of others 2 or 3 times apiece.

I'll get there one of these days...

Yeah, 10 times is a lot.

Braveheart
Gladiator
Fargo
The Godfather
True Romance
Finding Nemo
The Dark Knight
Bram Stoker's Dracula
The Rock
Die Hard
The Empire Strikes Back
Scarface
The Matrix
Jurassic Park (7x in the theaters)
Goodfellas
(there are probably a few more that I cannot remember at this time...)

Coming soon to the 10+ list: The Avengers, LOTR Trilogy,

Ditto to Forbidden Planet - outstanding cast: Leslie Nielsen, Walter Pidgeon, Ann Francis and Robbie the Robot. Adaptation of "The Tempest" & great special effects for the 50's

I think this is a good definition, movies that no matter what else is on, when you come across them while channel surfing during commercials you end up getting sucked in and keeping it on. Some that come to mind are:
Goodfellas
Heat
Casino
My cousin vinny
Any of the first three star wars
Fargo
Despicable me
Any Tarantino movie
Step Brothers
Anchorman

Just to name some

Not to go too far off topic, but I imagine a teenage girl like you describe would also probably love one of the movies mentioned on this thread and one that hasn't been mentioned yet in that vein, imo; The Princess Bride and 7 Brides For 7 Brothers.

(Late edit) I probably should also mention My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music and Hello, Dolly! in case you or she hadn't seen those either.

yes, yes, and yes, you don't even need to watch the movie, just turn off the TV and listen to the dialog, you can add Reservoir dog to the list as well.

"That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten."

"Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet ****! Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice right, but he springs this serious GOURMET **** on us! What flavor is this? "

"Well, the way they make shows is, they make one show. That show's called a pilot. Then they show that show to the people who make shows, and on the strength of that one show they decide if they're going to make more shows. Some pilots get picked and become television programs. Some don't, become nothing. She starred in one of the ones that became nothing. "

"I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue, you were saying something about best intentions. What's the matter? Oh, you were finished! Well, allow me to retort. What does Marsellus Wallace look like? "

And these aren't even the quote folks remember.

I agree with so many of the movies previously posted that I just want to add a guilty pleasure:
National Lampoon's Van Wilder

I can't count the number of times I've caught a few minutes on Comedy Central and no matter where I still find it funny. Ryan Reynolds is awesome, Tara Reid is still very attractive, and brought another movie to mind that I find funny time and again:
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

They're not as great as Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein or the great movies already suggested, but they're both light-hearted comedies that you don't really need to catch from the beginning to enjoy.

LOL. My wife catches me doing that occasionally and always says "Don't you have that already?" I typically say "Yes, but not with these commercials."

The Fifth Element
The Last Starfighter
Fight Club
