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.
 
At the top of my list is Casablanca. I have it on DVD. I’ve seen it start to end at least 15-20 times. I never tire of watching it.
El Dorado - western John Wayne
The Mark of Zorro - 1940 with Tyrone Power
Fort Dobbs - western Clint Walker
The Outlaw Josie Wales - western Clint Eastwood
Ice Station Zebra 1968 Rock Hudson
 
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...)
