    Cool DVDs You Watch Most From Your Collection.

    These movie from my collection are what I call “comfort” movies. They are in constant rotation and watch more than rest of DVDs. How about you?

    Not in any particular order:

    Midnight Run (1988): Good story and acting with all star cast.


    Marx Brothers At the Circus (1939): Most watched DVD from MarxBro collection.


    La Bamba (1987): An interesting story with excellent sound track.


    Stripes (1981): Bill Murray funniest movie.


    City Slickers (1991): One the best buddy movie.


    Mother (1996): Albert Brooks and Debbie Reynolds make a great pair.


    Rio Bravo (1959): As entertaining as a western movie gets.


    Odd Couple (1968): Watch this movie on VHS so many times,the tape broke.


    Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982): High school, fast food and romance.


    Cheech and Chong Nice Dreams (1981): Watch Stacy Keach get high.

    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.

    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.

    Thick As Thieves. I think I've mentioned this before. A little goldmine of a 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...

    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.
