OT: Movies that you will watch over and over

[ConnMotors]

I rarely watch TV except for UConn Basketball and Survivor. Try and not to miss a game or the show. When bored its Netflix and Disney + if my granddaughters are here visiting. If nothing suits me then I will channel surf for a movie to watch. I believe that this topic was an OT once before. What movie (s) have you watched over and over. I will list five of mine.

1) The Shawshank Redemption - Just an awesome movie.
2) The Godfather - Reminds me of my family except for the crime
3) Remember the Titans - Awesome true story
4) The Blindside - Great story and I watched this NFL Draft
5) The Replacements - Watching the team sing "I will survive" while in jail is worth the watch.

I can go on and on. Tere are plenty more but I mentioned five.

[Huskee11]

Easy one for me - Mulholland Drive. Have the DVD, and will pop it in for a scene or two. Have seen it from beginning to end probably 5-7 times.

David Lynch at his best, Naomi Watts as well.

Nonlinear, perplexing, enchanting, heartbreaking. Some will throw their hands up and move on after 15 minutes, others (like me) are pulled in.

 

[JavaMan]

A League Of Their Own

 

[Husky fanatic]

Close Encounters of a Third Kind

 

[NEforceUConn]

Great choices. For me:

Practical Magic
Any Bourne movie
Departed

 

[Centerstream]

When I was stationed aboard a submarine, we took over a 100 films on patrol with us. Some of the films were shown constantly it seemed. I remember watching Walking Tall (the original) at least 20 times and Live and Let Die a similar amount of times.
After the Navy, I watched, and will still watch, The Hunt For Red October multiple times.

 

[Aluminny69]

My guilty pleasure is MEET JOE BLACK. I feel this is an under rated film, and thankfully, this guy argues my point.

Permit me to recommend a movie for you and others - MULHOLLAND FALLS. It has nothing in common with your pick, other than the Title, but man this is an underrated flick. Nick Nolte at the top of his game, and an all star cast. Period piece, reminds me of CHINATOWN, another movie you might like. Watch the trailer

 

[uconnfan68]

Field of Dreams
Saving Private Ryan
Braveheart
Any Clancy or Bourne movie.

 

[BRS24]

Shawshank Redemption, Field of Dreams, The Replacements, Legally Blonde, Few Good Men, Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, Bourne movies, and a whole lot of them listed above, lol.

And lately? Cannot stop watching any of the John Wick movies.

 

[jcoton56]

and lots of those mentioned above

 

[Bald Husky]

1. A Few Good Men
2. The Wizard of Oz
3. The Sound of Music

Yes, I'm all over the place

Wow, "Adventure in Babysitting", a long time ago, but that's the movie that made me fall in love with Elizabeth Shue.
"The Hunt for Red October"
"Secretariet"

 

[darrell]

Funny Girl with Barbra Streisand.

 

[darrell]

Black Swan is another one I enjoy. Natalie Portman put on a masterful performance.
