I'm bored and have only bought 1 dvd in the last couple of months:eek: and I want to buy some more but I prefer to buy movies that can be re-watched a lot. For me I can watch American Beauty over and over again and still love it. So what movies do you keep coming back to?
Steve
EDIT: Said "over and over again" 4 times during that post so got rid of them!



Buttman goes to prague :norty: ;)
Seriously - It's got to be Jaws.



Bachelor Party
Dawn Of The Dead
Trainspotting
Jaws

To name but a few....



The Big Lebowski just gets better every time.
Actually, that applies to most Coen Brothers stuff.



Moving to Movie Forum



Jaws and Goodfellas.
Taxi Driver is verging on constant rewatchable status as well.



The Burbs



The Shawshank Redemption
The Godfather
Shrek (I'm not sure why, it's not even a good film IMO)
Star Wars
Alien



Withnail and I



The Phantom Menace.



Little Shop of Horrors (1986) - 7 times in one day!!!!!!

have to agree with you on american beauty steve, it's one of those films that seems to get better and better every time you watch it. I seem to have watched donnie brasco an inordinate amount of times as well - a very good film but not nessisarily one of my all time favs but for some reason it holds good replay value.



Thanks everyone, I was thinking about pre-ordering the Pulp Fiction SE R2 earlier as I've heard its superb (can't believe i haven't seen it!), no-ones mentioned it so does it not have high re-watchability (i know thats not a word:p ) ? Spinal Tap and Airplane might be ordered sometime soon.... Keep 'em coming.
EDIT: While I was typing I got another 3 replies! Been thinking about getting The Thing and Silence of the Lambs actually cause SOTL is cheap:D and The Thing is another "classic" i've been told of but never seen. American beauty is my favourite film, it's just superb! I agree with Stand by Me aswell, classic.



Ghostbusters
Waynes World
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Pulp Fiction
The Italian Job



Monthy Python and the Holy Grail
Fight Club
and for some strange reason: Idle Hands



and for some strange reason: Idle Hands
:clap: Seen it a couple of times actually and its not exactly a great film but i thought it was v.v. funny!



Keep coming back to these :-
Bad Boys
Oceans 11
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
Dogma
Chasing Amy
Die Hard With A Vengeance
Lethal Weapon 4
Life Of Brian
Face/Off

The Rock
Big Lebowski
Wonderboys
Feel free to shame me for them, but they are comfort cinema for me :p :rolleyes:



I've seen "The Wild Bunch" over 150 times over the past 25 years or so and I still watch it periodically to remind myself what a perfect film looks like.
"Exorcist II The Heretic" is coming up to 80 times - I can't get enough of those images, even when the dialogue is hilariously awful.
Oddly, whenever I'm depressed, "The End Of The Affair" comes in very handy because it makes me cry and is thus a good emotional release mechanism.
For sheer silliness, "Carry On At Your Convenience" and "Are You Being Served" are reliable films for raising a smile.



The Matrix ;)
Terminator 2 ;)



The Lord of the Rings (Anime and new one)
This is Spinal Tap
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Conan the Barbarian
The 13th Warrior
