What I mainly see in this thread are lists of peoples favorite movies. But that’s not the kind of film you can watch over and over. Only terrible movies can be watched in that way. In my household, these are also used as insomnia cures.

For many years, my wife would have to watch Apollo 13 every night in order to fall asleep. This is not a terrible movie.

Subsequently, The Peacemaker became the cure. Eventually, my wife started referring to it as The Pacemaker.

More recently, Battleship has become the go to movie.
