I started to make a list, but once I hit 45 titles, I decided to stop. And contrary to what Bone Dog says, it is quite possible to watch favorite movies over and over, and many of my favorites play when I go to sleep (especially ones with good music).

Northwest Passage(not that it's such a great movie, but being a fan of Tracy, love the moment when Walter Brennan, after being sent away by Tracy, says " Yes Major, but I'd hate to be a man who's always right as you..." and Tracy, with that world weary look replies "I'm not a man now private, I'm a soldier in command of men. Perhaps if you ever meet me when I'm just a man..., you might want to take a little pity..."
Gets me every time.
(and many, many more...)

Singin' in the Rain with Debbie Reynolds, Gene Kelly and Donald O Connor. The BEST feel good movie ever made. Shane with Alan Ladd, the best Western ever made. The Adventures of Robinhood, with Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone. My all time favorite adventure film. I Love almost all Musicals made. I only watch feel good movies as I want to enjoy what I'm watchind.

Shane and Red River were my father’s two favorite westerns. He told me he would watch them anytime they were shown on TV. He loved westerns, and passed on that love to me. That’s why I’m familier with most western TV series in the 50s. We only had one TV. During the evenings, it was usually on a horse opera. :cool:

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.
We had Iron Eagle....over and over and over. Never watched it since.

Yea, I've watched The Hunt for Red October and Crimson Tide many times over.

Off the beaten path perhaps, but not for me —
Kubrick’s “Barry Lyndon”

Singin' in the Rain is my favorite movie musical. Funny, I recently watched The Adventures of Robin Hood on TCM (I've seen it many times), and at the time mentioned to my wife that it is probably my favorite adventure movie.

There's a ton, but my top 20 are:

20: The Natural
19: Sleepless In Seattle
18: Role Models
17: Up
16: Galaxy Quest
15: A Quiet Place
14: Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade
13: Rock IV
12: Braveheart
11: Good Will Hunting
10: Maverick
9: Tommy Boy
8: Jaws
7: Avengers: Endgame
6: Alien
5: Young Frankenstein
4: L.A. Confidential
3: Die Hard
2: A Few Good Men
1: Gladiator

"Are you not entertained?"

Even my top 20 list is pretty fluid. Tomorrow, I could be in more of sci-fi mood and have "Super 8", "Close Encounters or "Live, Die, Repeat: The Edge of Tomorrow" on there. Or I might be in a sports mood with "Hoosiers", "Cinderella Man" or "Diggstown". on the list.

My wife is a huge fan of westerns, so I've seen a bunch of them over and over again. Red River is one of my favorite westerns.

Many great selections offered up. If I was limited to only watching one film for the rest of my life, it would have to The Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeline Stowe. Wes Studi as Magua was the perfect antagonist. I love Michael Mann as a director. I was torn between this classic and Heat.

My two favorite baseball movies are Bull Durham and Field of Dreams, both are wonderful. As with any movie that I might mention in this thread, I have seen them many times.

The Music Man is my favorite musical (the Sound of Music is a close 2nd). Robert Preston and Shirley Jones are just fantastic, the music is glorious too.
