Napoleon Dynamite, loved that movie in High school and it's been a comfort movie ever since. Funny and easily quotable, it's a staple in my house.
Just imagine you're weightless, in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by tiny little seahorses.

Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade
Saw this one so many times when I was younger
Maybe Lawrence of Arabia or Tora Tora Tora!.
EDIT: The Back to the Future trilogy and the original three Star Wars movies are probably up there too.
There was a period of time in middle school where I was obsessed with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Definitely not my favorite film anymore (not even my favorite Monty Python film), but since I don't really rewatch things nowadays it maintains its record.
Unless you count the one of the Disney movies my baby sister watched 3 times a day every day for months.

Airplane! And Star Trek the Wrath of Khan.
The Life Aquatic. I just absolutely adore the sad, disappointed and fragile characters. Fuckin hilarious!
Your Name / 君の名は
I use it for language learning, watching things repeatedly is very useful for picking up on new words and grammar!

WALL-E
- Shawshank
- The Great Escape
- Beyond the Clouds
- Groundhog Day
The Star Wars OT. Probably ROTJ specifically. That was like an every weekend thing when I was a kid.
Probably The Naked Gun
I used to fall asleep to John dies at the end for awhile so partial watches that wins hands down. But actually watching the whole movie probably lord of the rings or young Frankenstein.
I don't smoke much weed anymore,but when I do, I watch The pick of destiny or Dude where's my car
Constantine, and A Knight's Tale.
Robinhood Prince of Thieves
That thing you do and Empire records
Heat.
Probably A Knight's Tale. Though Con-Air seemed to be on TV at least once a week for years.
The Shining, then Practical Magic
Aliens The Martian Fifth Element Forrest Gump Stranger Than Fiction Incredibles Ice Age Shrek Passengers Oblivion Edge of Tomorrow
FIRE WALK WITH ME
Stardust.
Ever? Probably Return of the Jedi
Maybe Revenge of the Sith, but I'm pretty sure it's Return of the Jedi
D0gma
Pump up the Volume
Groundhogs Day
Weird
Interesting you got the title of Groundhog Day wrong if you watched it so much.
Joe vs the Volcano
It's the first movie I remember going to see (at a drive-in theater when I was 7). It was kind of a flop when it came out, but it's achieved a certain cult status for its surprisingly deep philosophy on fear, self-realization, and facing mortality.
That movie was certainly ahead of its time on the whole brain cloud thing

Tron Legacy, the vibe is captivating.
