Lord of the Rings.
"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. "
Queue the goosebumps, we're in for a hell of a ride.
The Princess Bride. It's such a fun adventure that still holds up really well today.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail or The Fifth Element.
The LotR Extended trilogy
Contact or Big Trouble In Little China. Love those movies.
Spaceballs, Ghostbusters (original), LotR, Labyrinth, The Holy Grail…
Ghostbusters for me too. Never gets old :-)
I have a few that will be very close as I decided a bit over a decade ago to limit myself to one rewatch a year of each to stop myself sucking all the joy out of them:
Alien - my favorite survival horror
Aliens - my favorite Nam movie
Jaws - my favorite version of Moby Dick, although I really like Godzilla Minus One take on Jaws
Jurassic Park - best big stompy monster film for me
Lord of the Rings - this is always over Christmas. Its not faithful enough for me to the books but it still manages to be an outstanding Trilogy.
Emperors New Groove - favorite body swap film
Kung Fury. It's a short film, so maybe that's cheating. Regardless, I love the writing. It's the perfect blend of absurdity and over the top action. It's a Swedish made film that's a satire of 80's cop and Kung fu movies. Free to watch on YouTube.
Another entry for me would be "Robin Hood (1973)". I haven't rewatched it in a long time, but as kids we (my brother and me) wanted to watch that movie over and over again. I've seen it more than ten times at least.
Monty Python's The Holy Grail
I think Lotr movies.
For a while, it was weirdly "Long Kiss Goodnight". It was getting heavy rotation on TV during my high-school exams, and improbaly watched it 15 times over the few weeks I was meant to be studying.
But now, probably LOTR extended edition, which I've seen every year since it came out, at my friend's annual birthday celebrations.
Spirited away... Something about the first opening notes of the piano when that movie starts always moves me and fills me with such warm feelings.
Honestly most studio Ghibli movies I've watched a lot... But man... Spirited away does something to me.
As a child: Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer
As a university student: Heat, Léon, 2001
As an adult, before kids: Sicario, Brick
As an adult, after kids: Cars
What I wish my answer was: Koyaanisqatsi
The Life Aquatic. I just absolutely adore the sad, disappointed and fragile characters. Fuckin hilarious!
The Star Wars OT. Probably ROTJ specifically. That was like an every weekend thing when I was a kid.
Strangely enough Shawshank Redemption
It's been a while... but the most I have watched is The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Still know all the songs by heart :)
Probably Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation since it has been tradition every holiday season.
As a kid, Rescuer's Down Under or The Paper Brigade was re-watched a lot.
Apart from that, it's a close tie for:
Just good replay value.
Office Space. The Usual Suspects used to be on TV all the time back in the day and is probably a close second.
The Shawshank Redemption.
There's a dumb Italian Horror movie called Del Amore d'ella Muerte (Cemetary Man in English speaking territories) that I absolutely love. It was made in the 90s and stars Rupert Everrit as a graveyard keeper who fights a zombie invasion with his mute assistant.
Hard to explain but the universe they create is very comfy where he's drinking red wine and shooting zombies.
Firefly
Home Alone. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I don't really rewatch movies anymore. There is so much content out there that I haven't watched, I would rather see something new than just rewatch something that I've already seen.
D0gma
Pump up the Volume
Groundhogs Day
Weird
Interesting you got the title of Groundhog Day wrong if you watched it so much.
Joe Versus The Volcano (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0099892/) is my all time re-watch movie. So many themes, great cinematography, and very mythic.
If you've never seen it, your in for a treat!
FIRE WALK WITH ME
Heat.
has to be old bud spencer and terrence hill movies, pretty popular in germany. I know there is a couple of them, but they are all pretty much the same anyway. ;-)
Top Gun. With all combinations of subtitles and dubs available.
Don't ask.
The Other Guys. At first glance, it's a buddy cop comedy that harkens back to Lethal Weapon, but with humor typical to ~2010. But, the more you watch it, the more Zucker brothers esque, 1980s surrealist comedy influences you notice. One of the most subtly weird and funny movies to me, I've probably seen it, no lie, 10 or 15 times.
