As a kid, my top ones:
As an adult:
The Cabin in the Woods.
Iβve seen The Fellowship of the Ring more times med than I can count. I love the whole trilogy, but Fellowship is my favorite.
Lost Horizon (Frank Capra) and Freaks (Tod Browning)
I only usually rewatch films whenever I feel like I'd need a pick-me-up. Something light-hearted, so I'd usually go for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
But during my recent movie marathon, I discovered more films which are actually good contenders for a rewatch such as The Fundamentals of Caring (highly recommended) and The Land of Steady Habits.
Jurassic park!
Strangely enough, the Underworld series. Ah and yes all the Back to the Future movies, I would rewatch them a thousand times more.
Warrior with Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte. Bawl my eyes out at the end every time I watch it.
The fast and the furious 1,2,3
Lone Wolf McQuade. Taped it on VHS and watched it with my friends all the time π
Aliens Forrest Gump Incredibles Shrek Shawshank Redemption 5th Element Ice Age
I watch The Thing and The Mummy at least once a year.
The Dark Knight
Anytime they pop up we watch Casino Royale, Groundhog Day, Family Stone. We were late picking friends up at the airport yesterday because we were sitting in a hotel watching Grease. I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but it's exhausting to watch so i sometimes skip it.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
It is somehow my goto "comfort"-movie
There's a good set of movies I rewatch a lot so I can't say which is most often, but I'll pick a couple.
The first Matrix movie is up there for me. I think it's the best one and I've rewatched it the most. I've rewatched the following two, but not as much. I thought the fourth one was weird and produced too late so not going to watch that one again.
There's an obscure movie called Hunter Prey (2010) that I've rewatched a lot. It's a low budget sci-fi, but it's almost like a play with limited settings, just a handful of actors, and limited special effects. I really like the story, actors, and setting plus the music is good. Probably most people would think it's shit, but sometimes a low budget film can really nail it for me.
Strictly Ballroom
Pee Wee's Big Adventure as a child and too many Michael Bay Transformers sequels as an adult due to their frequency on FX and now Pluto TV. I think Dark of the Moon is aired most often.
Just one, Interstellar. I don't watch a lot of movies but that one just hits different, I've watched it 7 times, could watch it again.
I saw Matrix 2-3 times when I was a kid, but no more than that.
Back to the future.
Probably A Goofy Movie. I had it on VHS and watched it over and over, the themes in it were just exactly what I needed to hear as a tween. It probably fell behind in the count for a while, but now I have Disney plus and rewatch it pretty regularly. And yes, I've seen the Atlanta episode, I had no idea, and it's hilarious.
The judge.
Leaves everything behind to become this great lawyer but when the unfortunate happens he has to go back and come to terms with what he thought was once lost.
Not sure why I keep watching it but I do enjoy how it develops.
draft - Steve Jobs (2015 Fassbender version)
2012, Wolf of Wall Street and the back to the future trilogy
Ghostbusters. Saw it hundreds of times as a kid. Still watch it every few years.
There's a few for me but I'm going to go with A Knight's Tale and The Other Guys. Can't get enough of those 2
Redline is my guilty pleasure movie. I watch it at least 3x a year to marvel at the animation.
