Which films do you rewatch?

[Mighty mouse]

and how often?
I own a bare 10 or so DVDs but every few months I get this craving.
No pattern to it just a need to watch a certain film. Even stranger is that they are not usually films I particularly liked (Independence Day, Queen of the Damned).

Perhaps I should just pay more attention the first time!

 

[Thadlerian]

Certain Ghibli movies, like Castle in the Sky and Spirited Away I can watch over and over. Same with Fellowship of the Ring SE, while as for the other two, I haven't managed to watch the whole SEs even once.

 

[Pyan]

The Star Wars films - all of them, including the prequels.

Men in Black I & II

Lord of the Rings I, II & III

I tend to watch most films at least twice - it's amazing what you see that you missed the first time around.

 

[dustinzgirl]

Oh my...so very many....it also depends on my mood...

Red Dawn
Wisdom
Starship Troopers
Star Wars
Any [SIZE=-1]Errol Flynn[/SIZE] (spelling--you know, the pirate dude!), Mel Gibson, Chuck Norris, Clint Eastwood, Steven Seagal or Van Damme action flick from before 2000.
Anything with John Wayne or Bruce Willis in it.
Any zombie flick made before 2000.
Mad Max, all of them (obviously already mel gibson, but these movies I love--even the crappy one with Tina Turner.
Evil Dead, Rocky Horror Picture Show
Proof (I love that movie)
Aliens
Dusk Till Dawn
Evolution
Pretty much any cartoon..and yes, I mean any cartoon, even the Great Gazoo and Grape Ape all the way to Kim Possible and Vampire Hunter D and Inuyasha. But those aren't really movies.

It actually takes a lot for me to get around to watching a 'new' movie and actually paying attention to it. Most of my DVD's are old movies. I go to the theater, but rarely buy them afterwords...Grindhouse is one I will be buying, mabye The Number 23 (not sure yet).

 

[HoopyFrood]

Ah, OK, let's see...

Lord of the Rings, all three of course.
Silent Hill
The Grudge
The Ring
Hot Fuzz (when it's released on DVD (already seen it twice at the cinema))
Howl's Moving Castle
Warrior King! (Awesome film)
Night Watch
The Matrix (first one only)

I agree with Dusty about zombie films...especially the old ones like Evil Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead...fantastic.
Oh, and Dusk Til Dawn! Now there's a film from my childhood, I haven't seen that in a while...but I watched it quite a lot when younger.

Probably many more, but as usual when asked to name something, the brain invariably goes blank...

 

[tangaloomababe]

I to can watch all three Lord of the Rings movies, Back to the Future (the first is the best) I can re watch Shawshank Redemption, love that movie, Life as a House (and I still cry when I watch it) House of Sand and Fog (bit of a house thing going here)
HAPPY I have Hot Fuzz on DVD (fell of a truck, havnt seen it yet but my son loved it) Plus who could not love Shaun of the Dead.
Actually I think I can pretty much watch most movies again but only a few again and again and again etc. Memento was one I had to watch a couple of times, you learn a little bit more each time.

[j d worthington]

More than I can recall, actually, depending on how far back you want to go (some I used to watch so often I could nearly quote the entire film, but only watch again very great once in a while now). Some of those which come to mind right off though, are:

The Lion in Winter
The Lord of the Rings (extended version set)
George Romero films
Requieum for a Heavyweight
West Side Story
The Miracle Worker
Fiddler on the Roof
Night of the Hunter
darned near any film with Lon Chaney, Sr.
quite a few films with Boris Karloff -- horror, comedy, crime drama, you name it
ditto for Bela Lugosi, Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney, the Marx Bros., Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Katherine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn.... quite a few others
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (with Charles Laughton)
most of the old Universal horror films (I grew up with these as my Mother Goose, and I still love 'em, with all their flaws....)
a fair number of films by Alfred Hitchcock (I especially like his early films)
The Haunting (1963)
Death Takes a Holiday (1934)
several films by Mario Bava (especially Black Sunday) and Lucio Fulci (now that they've -- largely -- been released in restored form... which means they make a lot more sense than they ever did before)
Suspiria
The Uninvited..... oh, dear, too many titles are coming to mind.

And, if you include television:

The Prisoner series
I, Claudius
(the original) Outer Limits (at least a fair chunk of)
The Twilight Zone (original and the 1985-89 revival, but mostly the first season there)....

 

[Foxbat]

I tend to rewatch stuff that has left me pondering after the first viewing.

Currently my 'to rewatch list' consists of Until The End Of The World, The Fountain and all episodes of Twin Peaks. It's going to take a while....

 

[Triceratops]

Blast from the Past (and I don't know why)
The God's Must be Crazy one and two
Close Encounters
Little Nicky
Jurassic Park/s
Waterboy
Galaxy Quest
Demolition Man (cause of Sandy)
Toy Story
Finding Nemo
Rush Hour
Shanghi Noon
Mighty Joe Young (both)
Men in Black I and II


Tri

 

[dustinzgirl]

Last of the Mohicans
Fifth Element
In the Name of the Father
The Labyrinth
The Princess Bride
Underworld (1&2)
Willow (!!)
The Snapper
The Van
Terminator (1 only)
Flight of the Navigator
Harry Potter (all of them)
Van Damme movies! *Drool*

I can guarantee that there's loads more, I just can't think of them right now!

Oh, I totally forgot about those! I loooooooooooove flight of the navigator, secret of nyhm, the original king arthur cartoon, original snow white, um...wow....

The Lord of the Rings (extended version set)

(the original) Outer Limits (at least a fair chunk of)
The Twilight Zone (original and the 1985-89 revival, but mostly the first season there)....

I can't watch LOTR the second time....I just can't seem too....same with Narnia...but I read and re-read the books all the time. I have no idea why that is.

And same, I still watch outer limits, twilight zone, and I find that I enjoy them more when they are episodes I have already seen. Same with XFiles, Angel, Charmed, Tales from the Crypt, and Masters of Horror (newer, but so worth it!)

Yeah, I rarely sleep. If Im not on here or working, Im watching the 10 pm to 8 am reruns, then I sleep for a few hours. Horrible!

 

[HoopyFrood]

Oh, yeah, Flight of the Navigator! One of my all-time favourite films. Fantastic.
Oh, and yeah, it has to be the extended Lord of the Rings for me, too.
And Jurassic Park, how could I forget!

 

[gully_foyle]

Why isn't BladeRunner on anyones list?

I actually got out Casablanca for tonight's movie. Sometimes you get tired of the modern epics and want to go back to the classic film noir.

But my normal list would include;
BladeRunner
Alien
Star Wars IV, V & VI
GalaxyQuest
Fifth Element
and lots of others I can't think of right now.

 

[scalem X]

These are the good ones I rewatch:

Hackers
Ghost in the shell
phonebooth
Lord of the rings (all3)
going to america (okay anything with Eddie Murphy)

Then the bad ones:

Lost in space
The mummy
Alien vs predator
Eurotrip

Actually I have seen lots of movies two or three times...

 

[Joel007]

How could I forget the Princess Bride!
And Flight of the Navigator is still awesome

 

[Happy Joe]

Rewatchability is a prime concern when I purchase a movie.
Rather than trying to figure out which ones I watch most often, here is a list of those currently waiting to be refiled;
King Arther
The Medallion
Narnia
Apocalypto
Night at the Museum
Doom
Prisoner of Askaban
Smokin Aces
Unleashed
Princess Bride
Sahara (w/ H. Bogart)
Attack of the Clones
XXX
Underworld
Underworld evolution
Willow

Friends regularly stop by for popcorn and a movie. So my rewatch interval is a little more random than most. I have found that about 1/4 of my library gets watched rarely and the rest get cycled through irregularly. New movies usually get watched a couple of times then go through a period of hibernation.
Enjoy!

Cause Bladerunner is prolly the most overrated movie ever.......


Specially after having read the book which they raped the story to make a good visual movie with so called "deep" story (for hollywood SF anyway)....
