Are there movies and TV shows you watch over and over

[mandyky]

and over and over again?

Dave is about to start on an HBO channel, so I'm gonna DVR it.
I DVRed Remember the Titans last weekend, and have been watching it daily.
I've done the same with Seabiscuit, Pay It Foward, and the TV show Medium.

I love uplifting stuff!

I also was a big fan of Judging Amy and watch the reruns every weekday on TNT. (I think we've gone through them 3 or 4 times now).

OK, fess up and let me know I am not the only compulsive one around here!! :)

[XemaSab]

1. Shallow Grave

It's a great film.

[Initech]

2. Arrested Development, Mr. Show, Seinfeld

I love the truly insane comedies like the ones listed above. Although anything with David Cross in it is great!

[asteroid2003QQ47]

3. Reno 911

and Arrested Development!

Oh! Did I mention Reno 911 ? I love you Clemy!

[scarlet_owl]

4. Father Ted.

I have the DVD box set and I watch it all the time. I know every episode by heart.

[Patiod]

28. We quote from it all the time

We've christened the goofy soul/blues singer from American Idol "Father Ted"

[SeattleGirl]

5. You are definitely not alone!

I love "Dave", and have watched it a number of times. Some of my other repetitively-watched movies are:

Angels in the Outfield
Love Actually
Walk the Line
Farenheit 9/11
Bowling for Columbine
Sweet Dreams
Coal Miner's Daughter
Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
Remember the Titans
The Rookie

TV shows:

NYPD Blue
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
M*A*S*H (I taped all those episodes and can watch them when ever I want)
Star Trek: The Next Generation (Ditto)
The X Files

There are more, but that's enough for now.

[mandyky]

34. Thanks for the reassurance!

LOL
For me, I just don't like too much violence in movies, so when I find a movie with a message I like, I'll watch it over and over, rather than watch something I'm not sure I'll like.

You mentioned visual "comfort food" further down the thread. That fits!

Oddly with Remember the Titans, I am not a football fan, and I avoided that movie several times. I think I watched it mostly because I like Denzel Washington and Will Patton.

[Deja Q]

6. Doctor Who, Married w/Children, Golden Girls, Star Trek TOS, Blake's 7

[Arkham House]

7. And now for something completely different--

--but eternally the same, eternally fresh...the Python boys...I never tire of them...

[deadparrot]

8. The West Wing. nt

[Droopy]

9. I never could understand that

My dad watched reruns of Mash every day for a decade. I was like, "Goddamn! Turn it to the ball game. You've seen this stuff a million times."

[SeattleGirl]

10. For me, it's like visual and auditory "comfort food"

Yeah, it probably sounds weird, but I love to watch some things over and over again.

[AlCzervik]

11. Law and Order--i wish there was a L & O channel. As for movies

i would say Caddyshack, Goodfellas and Godfather 1 and 2.

[Arkham House]

16. Isn't TNT the "Law and Order" channel...?

...just askin'...

[yellowdogintexas]

17. no, USA is the Law and Order Channel.

or NBC.

If you have cable you can watch some version of L&O just about any time of day.

[mandyky]

35. TNT runs the original L & O

USA runs L&O - SVU

[trof]

12. Dish network has just sucked lately. We've been watching "Law And Order"

reruns.
The same damn movies, over and over.

[Fleshdancer]

13. West Wing, That 70's Show, Malcolm In the Middle, Sex and the City

I'm an insomniac so the last night reruns are wonderful.

[bigwillq]

Allo Allo
Are You Being Served
Waiting for God
Vicar of Dibley

and others I just can't remember right this minute

[astonamous]

19. Any and all of Richard Pryor's Comedy Concert films...

Trudy

[YankeyMCC]

20. Star Trek, MASH, L&O, Farscape, Seinfeld, Firefly

Movies: Blazing Saddles, LoTR, Casablanca, The Great Escape, Day the Earth Stood still, Forbidden Planet

I think the new BSG will eventually go into that rotation, I don't watch reruns of it very much now. Not sure why, but when a show is in first run I guess I like to savor the anticipation of waiting for new shows as they come.

Forgot: 3 Stooges, Monty Python

[fishwax]

21. I re-watch a lot of TV shows on DVD

I've probably seen the first season of the sopranos about a dozen times. I watch reruns of the Simpsons quite a bit, and when my wife watches the MASH DVDs I'll watch as well, even though I've seen every episode more than once.

For moviews there are several that I'll watch repeatedly, either because I really enjoy them and catch something new each time (like the godfather or fear and loathing in las vegas) or because they still make me laugh (like when harry met sally or blazing saddles) or because they're just comfortable movies to watch when nothing else is on (like finding nemo or Oscar).

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

22. I watch a lot of comedy shows many times over

Less so recently because I've been building up my DVD collection and picking up a lot of US season DVD's which last me a couple of weeks. If I happen to catch it on TV, I'll always watch Friends, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Father Ted, Men Behaving Badly, One Foot in the Grave, Only Fools and Horses. Cheers, Taxi and The Office (etc, although I'm limited to what's on terrestrial).

TV Shows - I've seen pretty much every episode of Buffy three times and some episodes a lot more. I've been revisiting shows through DVD boxsets, but that doesn't really count as 'over and over and over'

Films - I watch a fair amount of horror and exploitation movies and if I haven't got something new, there's a decent selection of stuff I own to choose from (listing favorite titles would be a little embarassing. I've also been at varying stages in my life completely obsessed with Blue Velvet which I've seen a stupid number of times. At Christmas I always watch Muppets Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life and if I want a bit of action I can always count on John Woo (Hard Boiled and The Killer normally getting my vote).

[YellowRubberDuckie]

23. Love Actually is the big one I watch all the time...

Then Harry Potter, all of the movies over and over, both Kill Bills, Dave, Ocean's 11 and 12, The Breakfast Club...I could go on and on.
Duckie

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I watch old episodes of ER over and over again.

It never gets old. I tivo'd "Remember the Titans" too! And I will always tune into "Pretty in Pink".

[ldf]

25. no. i don't do repeats.

i DID rewatch the entire babylon 5 series, plus movies.

but that was about 5 years after they were on teevee.

if it has been long enough that i have forgotten key elements of the story, then i may consider it.

which is why i HATE to watch House Hunters. geez! they show the same damn show at least 50 or 60 times. (ok, i may exagerate a little...)

i have to get up and leave the room, since partner has NO PROBLEM AT ALL watching things he was already seen MANY times. (like lucy, honeymooners, leave it to beaver, every movie from the 30s, 40s AND 50s, etc.) plus this last week, ALL the JESUS movies. AND I'M AN ATHEIST!!! i could have SCREAMED. so i spent a lot of time reading du. :-)

:grr:
