Films You Can Watch Over and Over, Again and Again.

Maybe it's just this time of year when the networks put on the same Golden Oldies or classic violent movies for the umpteenth time... but what are the films or DVDs you can effortlessly watch over and over without getting tired or bored of? What are your perennial favourites?

Just watching "Above The Law" again. That scene where "Nico" (Steven Segal) walks into the bar full of obnoxious, racist jerks and rednecks asking an innocent question "have you seen this girl?" flashing a photo of her... you know the one.

I nearly choked with laughter when he throws the big bearded guy on what looks like some empty Jim Beam boxes and whips the gun off the other guy in a blink of an eye... then finds the young girl cowering in a back room with some seedy junkie and he rubs his face in the mirror of coke.



I also watched about 4/5 of the "The 10 Commandments" the other day. Gotta love the sophisticated 1950's CGI in that one.

Not to mention a few classic Bond movies in the last few days. I hardly ever tire of them either.

Fire away chaps...

Apologies if this one has been done before. I couldn't see it in the last few pages.

The Fifth Element, Blade Runner

The Life of Brian

The Mechanic

Watch Out We're Mad

The Life of Brian - have watched it (without exaggerating) over 100 times - I still occasionally pick up on things I haven't noticed before but that might be because I'm a bit slow-witted.

Like the jet plane flying in the background in one scene and a wristwatch on one of the Romans?

Oh dear. Looks like I'm going to have to watch it again.

For me it's Ghostbusters. Never gets old, great cast, some great gags and a cheesy soundtrack

Might have been a vapour trail only not a jet?

Also keep an eye out for the shadow of a cameraman in one of the scenes.

I remember the camera's shadow when they're chasing after him through the market after the Simon & Adrian speech.

@ gazzyD, thanks for the reminder, think Ghostbusters is due another watch, haven't seen it in decades

Die Hard

yeah, I can always watch those Die Hard movies.

Happy New Year from OZ everyone!

Can't believe it's 2013!

the smell of firecrackers is wafting through my sliding doors.... about 3km away from the harbour here.

Happy new year Lb. With a bit of luck I'll be in an alcohol-induced coma by the time it hits these parts.

Thanks mate. Have a great one too.

I knew there was something I forgot!

Might crack open a bottle of sake.

I've watched Braveheart over 1,000 times in my life. And I am NOT kidding, that film got me through college and Uni studying medieval history.

Groundhog Day.

I could watch Die Hard With A Vengeance over and over again as well as Godzilla for some reason. Just find it thoroughly enjoyable and watchable!

The Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler at his best!

Predator and The Terminator I can watch again and again and again....

Also the Goonies, childhood classic for me

Predator is a good shout.

For me:

Hot Fuzz
Shaun of the Dead
Airplane
Pink Panther films in general
Team America
Catch me if you Can

Airplane for sure stands up to re-watching any time you want a good laugh.

The other type of film I can re-watch multiple times are 'brain-off' action / entertainment films:
Die Hard
Top Gun
Days of Thunder (surely should count as a Top Gun remake?)
some Bond films (most of Connery and Brosnan, Casino Royale)
Under Siege

Oh, and anything featuring Eva Green

Ted

Random films but ones i can watch over and over!

Robin Hood (Disney Version)
Football Factory
Remember The Titans
Snatch
Hitch

Ugh, Eva Green is rank. Seeing her in Kingdom of Heaven nearly turned me

I feel ashamed to admit it but some of those Fletch movies.

That constant daggy synthesizer music (Herbie Hancock?) sort of has an affect on me for some reason and makes me want to laugh.

I can easily watch Marx Bros. films - they really flow well.

Once Upon A Time In the West and countless other westerns /spaghetti westerns.

Jaws, Earthquake, Towering Inferno, Poseidon Adventure

the Matrix - possibly my favourite film, just love it, happy to watch it anytime.

Die Hard - come on, Alan Rickman being a German terrorist, what more can the world want?

Shaun of the Dead - just never gets old.

Hook, must have seen that 50+ times. Just had an argument with the missus and flatmate, not only have they not seen it, but they havnt even heard of it!!!

COMMANDO............Love watching that.....so much action and so many one liners..
