Not necessarily your favorite but the one you watched over & over..

2 tied for me:

Being There - (Peter Sellers)

Shawshank Redemption - (Tim Robbins)

Moonstruck. Funniest last 20 minutes of any movie I've ever seen, esp. if you understand American-Italian family dynamics. My wife (half Italian) and I sit there and recite all the dialog with the actors, and laugh like kids. If it's on TV, we're at home, and we know about it, we'll be watching it....

Other movies I'll always sit through if they're on:

  • Shawshank Redemption (love it when the warden gets his)
  • Any of the Lord of the Rings trilogy
  • The Right Stuff or Apollo Thirteen
  • The first two Godfather movies
 
Young Frankenstein

The wife and I have watched it every Halloween for the last 17 years or so. In my opinion, one of the funniest movies ever made.

The most watched movie ever at my house has to be "The Big Lebowski". When I was younger "St. Elmo's Fire" was a favorite. And I have to give "The Perfect Storm" an honorable mention, though I don't get to watch it very much anymore because CB hates it.
 
For me, Mediterraneo. If you like movies such as Il Postino and Life Is Beautiful, you'll enjoy this.
Robert, I love One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest too.

 
The Star Wars dual-trilogy
Blazing Saddles
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
 
I must add this one , The Legend of 1900 , great musical moment in this film..

Definitely... "The Ruling Class" from 1972
Admittedly, somewhat of an acquired taste:

These ^ are all well up there for me. More stuff we watch all the time: LotR trilogy, Spaceballs, the Matrix movies, a Christmas Story, Wizard of Oz, Christmas Vacation, Caddyshack, Home Alone, Young Frankenstein. I know, a lot of Christmas movies, but it's my wife's birthday.

A couple I can't watch around the kids: Repo Man, the Big Lebowski.

A couple newer Jack Black movies that may attain similar Casa Krashpad cult status include Nacho Libre ("Did you not tell heem they were thee Lord's cheeps?") and School of Rock ("I was testing you, and you passed! Two and half gold stars!").

Terry Gilliam's Brazil


Excellent Mark. Glad I'm not the only one obsessed with that movie.

Mine are either The Godfather(s) all of them or Scent of A Woman. Never get tired of them.


Tombstone for sure......Scent of a Woman is brilliant....Pacino is great in that role....Gabrielle Anwar is pretty easy to look at too.

For me, it's life aquatic


Growing up on Jacques Cousteau in the '70s , I loved that film although when I made my wife watch it she thought I was an idiot .

My most watched are probably Spinal Tap and Paris Texas {I had a bit of a thing for Natassia Kinski and slide guitar even in 1982}
 
Most watched has to be some of the collective vworks of John Wayne...cowboy and war movies alike. As a kid, I couldn't get enough of "The Duke".

Modern movies...Tombstone is one I can watch over and over. There are more memorable quotes from that movie than any other I can think of.
