You can do better than that. Even Cooperberg gave in to temptation and at least mentioned one :D

No, I like comedies and there are a few on my list (8 of them actually), but very few comedies lend themselves to multiple viewing.

Jurassic Park (all of 'em). My kids love 'em. I put them on and always end up sitting down and watching it too.

Alot of animations get played over & over too. By the time I get around to watching what I want, I gotta choose from close to 500 movies in my collection plus the 3 I usually have waiting from netflix.

I'm about to sell off about 100 dvd's so my repeat titles should increase.

There's not a lot that I watch over and over that aren't music DVDs. But I'd have to say Shrek for my most watched (non-musical) DVD.

5. "The Charge of the Light Brigade" - "Let's show the world that no man can kill women and children and live to boast of it."

6. "Casablanca" - "I'm shocked, shocked to discover that there's gambling going on here......"

7. "It's a Wonderful Life" - "Merry Christmas in jail!!!"

8. "Battle of the Bulge" - "Well they got me mad at em."

The Godfather - all 3
Star Wars - all 6 of them
Donnie Darko - just keeps getting weirder and weirder...

These are movies I watch at least once per year if not more. Can't say there's any others that get this much play at my house.
My wife really loves to watch Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Star Trek: Nemesis for some reason...

The Big Lebowski..... I catch my self putting it in all the time..... Collection currently sits at about 400-425 movies..... I'd watch any given one, if someone came by and said "hey you have .......... I'd love to see that!" Most recent viewed was "Brazil" the Terry Gilliam (I believe) movie.

I was thinking about mentioning BRAZIL since it's a great film, but I don't watch it that frequently, then you reminded me to mention another Gilliam movie that I should have included on my list: 12 MONKEYS.

Recently bought that DVD and it seem to be kind of movie that grow on you. Wasn't impress on the first viewing, but John Goodman performance made me watch it few times untill you get hooked. He is awesome in that movie.

"Tombstone" - "You're a daisey if you do."

ha....

Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!

Why Ed does this mean we're not friends anymore? You know Ed, if I thought you weren't my friend... I just don't think I could bear it!

or my personal favorite from that gem...

"I'm your Huckleberry"

Montana (good ensemble cast with devilish plot twists)
Heaven's Prisoners (a serious get even movie with a lot of New Orleans)
The Dancer Upstairs (Javier Bardem and a good story)
On The Waterfront
Bullitt
Bedazzled (the original with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore who I think wrote it and is the first movie to use animation outside if Disney, I do believe). Rachel Welch as Lust. Nice touch.

My wife:
Thunderheart
Bourne uno y dos
Signs
The Siege
Pelican Brief
Silence of the Lambs
Basic (I like her favoites myself except for this one). Utter doo-doo. If this were a favorite WORST movie topic, this one would be right up there with The Posiden Adventure.
