I enjoy re-reading books and re-watching movies - but only if they were very good from the start.
Casablanca Wizard of Oz A Christmas Story any Monty Python movie, especially Life of Brian 12 Monkeys Amadeus Beauty and the Beast The Big Lebowski Mystery Men Blazing Saddles
I can quote whole scenes from any of the above and quite a few others.

It's a Wonderful Life (and I KNOW I'm not the only one on DU who has done this) Casablanca (see above) The Ref Born Romantic The Lion in Winter Much Ado about Nothing The Wizard of Oz Enchanted April Persuasion (1995 version) Sense and Sensibility (1995 version) Pride and Prejudice (1940 version) Peter's Friends (Yes, I'm a Kenneth Branagh fan) Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
And being a baby boomer, I probably saw all the things that were aired yearly in the NYC area, such as March of the Wooden Soldiers, more than five times.
As for Key Largo, Stagecoach (1939), Hobson's Choice, The Best Years of Our Lives, A Midwinter's Tale, Crazy from the Heart, and To Have and Have Not, I'm not sure of the figures for each, but more than several times for each.
On edit: Forgot A Christmas Story, Arsenic and Old Lace, Young Frankenstein, and The Music Man, and perhaps Gigi.

27. Pretty much everything in my boyfriend's video collection |

When we lived in different cities I'd come visit and I'd be stuck in his apartment while he was at work. He didn't have cable, he didn't have a computer, his TV got crap reception, he didn't have a dvd player/netflix, and he didn't have a lot of books so I watched
Goodfellas Boogie Nights Scarface The Royal Tennenbaums A bunch of Russ Meyer movies and the one Mystery Science Theater video that I left at his house (I think it was Mitchell)
Over. And over. And over again.
Lately all I watch over and over is my Bill Hicks dvd, and that Bob Dylan special from a few months ago that I taped.

I've been obsessed with this movie since 1975. I've also seen the theatrical performance a few times and that was fabulous too.

70. The Sting, and Holy Grail |
|
Undoubtedly several Ann Margret flicks when I was a teenager. Here stuff at that time wasn't bad but I found the old '60s movies on late night TV and they were wild. First thing I checked for when reviewing the Sunday TV book in those years.

74. Numerous Bond movies... Star Trek movies... Spongebob Squarepants... |
|
The first one: on every bloody Christmas on TV in the UK.
The second one: because I am a Trekkie. I like Star Trek.
The third: because my son likes Spongebob. The DVD has been re-burnt so that the movie is on constant repeat. But then that's the case with a number of DVDs for him.
Mark.

99. '0h, I don't know about that great mind thingy, but there are |
|
things in those two flicks that tickle my fancy to the bending end. I very rarely ever watch a film twice.
Lili Von Shtupp (Madeline Kahn),doing Marlene Dietrich is insanely hilarious.
To finish her sleepy act, she sings and yawns:
I'm tired, tired of playing the game. Ain't it a freakin' shame. I'm so...let's face it. Everything below the waist is ka-put.
Hi, handsome, is that a ten-gallon hat - or are you just enjoying the show?
Ooh, a wed wose. How womantic!
That's all I won't go on....'Tis indeed hysterical!

87. I saw To Kill A Mockingbird.. |
|
.... when I was about 10 (when it was in theaters).
It left a lasting impression on me. I've watched it several times since and I think it is an incredible film.
I've watched my DVD of Badder Santa plenty of times too. I'm a man of divergent tastes :)

90. such a sad premise: Boo, an intelligent child ruined by a cruel father... |
|
is one of the book’s most important mockingbirds; he is also an important symbol of the good that exists within people. Despite the pain that Boo has suffered, the purity of his heart rules his interaction with the children. In saving Jem and Scout from Bob Ewell, Boo proves the ultimate symbol of good.
from the synop :cry:

Evita. Love the music - and the subtle undertones that convey some very subtle subtext (ominous) music along with the nationalistic music - find that combination rather masterful.

The only movie I own that doesn't have a "Money Shot."
-The Wedding Singer -Titanic -Men in Black
That is about it... And the only reason I watched those so many times is that people reported audio problems with all of them. I was looking for a solution.. I found it.. Popular movies have more people complaining about shit they know nothing about. I was a bit of a dick so I would drop it into bypass after being bitched at. And I would make it really fucking cold. Most projectionist are total pricks, I would avoid making them mad.

I just watched 1984 for the 5th time. There also was a great soundtrack album by the Eurythmics.
In the beginning of the movie, the enemy of the Party, Goldstein is shown on a big screen before a crowd. Goldstein is actually trying to tell the people the truth - that they are constantly being lied to by the Party, and that the real evil people in power are hidden from them. Goldstein tells them that the Party is maintaining a constant state of war in order to better control them. The people are so busy screaming at the screen in hatred that they don't hear any of Goldstein's warnings about what is really happening. (Not that there's any relevance to today.)

I can watch it over and over aghain and always find a new insight. IMO it is the best movie in the history of cinema. Kubrick is as daring as a filmmaker has ever been in asking people to identify with Alex over the state taking a person's free will, even when the person is as vile as Alex.
