the lotr trilogy is a good one, especially if you have the extended versions.
Princess Bride
One movie to rule them all
Brazil (1984)
Kung Fu Hustle I’ve seen countless times.
That and Shaolin Soccer are sacred films to me. :D
Journey To The West as well, though.
I'll have to find this one! Also a Stephen Chow movie?
Yes. It’s very similar to Kung Fu Hustle, but in a fantasy setting. It’s loosely based on some Chinese folklore of the same name.
Rear Window never gets old
Pulp Fiction
I watched that like 8 times over the course of summer holiday as a teen.
My parents were on vacation, I'd borrowed it from the library and every time some friends visited, they saw the dvd and went "oh lets watch pulp fiction!".
It does lose some of it's appeal around viewing 5, but still enjoyable. But me and my one friend who was there often could almost act the whole movie by the end, so that was fun.
Dogma, Lawrence of Arabia, Philadelphia Story, Hudson Hawk, The Martian, Edge of Tomorrow, Kung Fu Hustle, Delicatessen, Apocalypse Now, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, LOTR, Star Wars (original 3), The Thin Man series.
Also Dr. Strangelove and all the Monty Python, Princess Bride, 5th Element
Interstellar
Most Star Wars movies except 8 & 9
F1
Back to the Future trilogy
Avengers: Infinity War
Black Panther
Both modern Dune movies
Fury
Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy

Marry poppins.
What a good movie.
But honestly, pretty much any movie I saw as a kid.
RIP my parents, I wonder how many times I made them sit through the original Mario bros movie.
Meet the Feebles
My cousin Vinny I watch it once a year because it is a masterpiece.
Terminator 2. Judgment Day is my favorite movie of all time. I watch it pretty consistently. Sometimes I'll leave it on playing in the background when I'm doing stuff on the computer.

Tron: Legacy (that's 2010) This is probably more driven by limited selection in the cable days than free choice, but I do enjoy these. Not everything has to be a masterpiece to be enjoyable
Demolition Man
Probably most Star Wars between 1-6
Probably Fast and Furious 1, 2, 3.
Jurassic Park 1 and 3 (I swear 2 never aired on cable)
Spider Man, Toby maguire, 1 and 2
Probably half the Pirates of the Caribbean

Honorable mention due to irony: I accidentally watched Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind a second time, forgetting I watched it already.
Spaceballs and Groundhog Day
When I watched Spaceballs for the first time, the next thing I did was start the movie over and watch it again.
One I saw 8 times when it came out is E.T. Hadn't seen it mentioned yet.
More recently I loved coming back to Lost in Translation.

- The Usual Suspects
- Forgetting Sarah Marshall
- Palm Springs
Black cat, white cat
Hundreds of Beavers! It's an absolute delight showing it to someone who has never seen it before.
YES. I only saw it once and I want to show it to someone else with no explanation! That movie had us rolling.
I have one for you too:
"Marcel the Shell With Shoes On"
I just grabbed it off the shelf from my library because it looked interesting. Never heard of it before.
I went in completely blind and fell in love. Just hit play and settle in. Absolutely lovely.
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a try!
I hope you enjoy it! :D
Buckaroo Banzai. It's the quintessential 80s movie.
