    I ask this because I'm currently watching The Lake House for about the twentieth time. There are actually quite a few movies I've watched many times but this one is definitely near the top of my list. I know it's pure fantasy and some may say predictable, not to mention flat-out corny but what can I say? I love a good chick-flick now and then and this is one of those movies that is romantic in that old-fashioned sense, viewers really have to rely on their imagination a bit and I think that's a good thing.

    I really love movies Limitless and The Wolf of the Wall Street because they are so inspirational for me. I watched them a lot of times and I will watch them again and again. Also I watch The Godfather sometimes as that is my favorite movie ever.

    Call me a nerd if you like but I've watched Harry Potter and the half blood prince so many times. For me it's become a source of comfort. I read the books when I was younger and watching the movie allows me to sort of relive those feelings of youth. :rolleyes:

    Eeep, wow I could name about fifty. When I love something, I love it until all it's bones are broken!

    I've seen Memoirs of a Geisha about eight hundred times which is odd because I didn't love the book (usually, it's the other way around for me) but it's got such amazing, gorgeous sets and a perfect cast. And that soundtrack, I have that on my phone and listen to it while doing mundane things like laundry. Sayuri's Theme makes ironing seem so much more epic. :p

    I really love period films, especially films set between the Civil War and the early 1960s. Gosford Park is gorgeous, hilarious and peopled with a cast of folks I already loved before I ever saw the film. A Christmas Story, which I pattern my Christmas decorations after every year and, yes, that makes me crazy. :p Lawless, Chaplin, Charlotte Gray, Cats don't Dance, the Indiana Jones franchise (yes, KOTCS included), The Princess and the Frog, Giant, Kitty Foyle (one of Ginger Rogers greatest films), Atonement, Tuskegee Airmen, The Monument Men, Edge of Love, The Good German and The Aviator.

    Let's see, I don't usually love musicals but I do love Hello Dolly, Newsies and Aladdin enough to fit them into my life on a monthly basis. It Follows, The Babadook, Dark Water, Kairo, Ringu, Ju-on and, more recently, The Witch for horror films.

    I just realized that I watch way, way too many films. I'm sure it comes at the expense of getting everything else in my life accompished.

    I am currently watching the 'Notebook' although I am pretty sure that I have seen the Movie a lot of times. It is just one of those movies that you would want to keep watching again and again. Besides, I wouldn't have much of a choice left if I didn't want to watch it repeatedly as my wife insists that we do Watch. It's probably been around 20 times since the movie came out and it still keeps going.

    The other movie that I have watched a lot of times is 'Gone Girl'. This is one of those movies that are so fun and thrilling to watch, makes me come back for more and more. It changes my understanding of the movie every single time I watch it.

    I also keep a lot of Youtube Videos(basically movies that I bought with Play Movies) that I like in my Playlist so that I can Watch them Later.

    I have watched The Hobbit over & over again. It has an amazing storyline and a refreshing look everytime I watch it again. Bilbo, Thorin and the dwarves together with the dragon Smaug and not forgetting Gandalf. To me The hobbit trilogy is forever among movies in my playlist.

    There are so many movies that I could watch over and over. Love and Basketball has been a favorite of mine for ages! It seems to have all of the elements I look for in a good movie - drama, comedy, and a love story. Come to think of it, I think that love stories are probably the majority of the movies that I can watch over and over.

    I watch movies over and over if I really enjoyed it the first time. My favourite movie that I watch more than once is Labaryinth staring David Bowie,I never get bored with this movie, David Bowie's performance was amazing .
    It is so sad to think that there will never be another movie staring him, it was a huge loss to the world when he passed away.

    I AM sure I do but I cannot think of any right now. I do know some foreign films some of which are even foreign independent films that I would watch again. There are even some of USA's vintage films on that list too. I AM picky about a lot of things, if not everything, and using my precious time to watch a film over and over again is one of them.

    Some of the movies that I have watched over and over are Harry Potter films, The Hobbit, Fast and Furious sequels, The Wolf of Wall Street, Limitless, Boiler Room, and my favorite Japanese action film Crows zero. They actually made two of those films, and for those of you who haven't watched it yet, I recommend that you watch it. It's a great action film with a decent plot and furious fighting scenes.

    Watching that film makes me want to punch a punk in the face because of the emotions I get with the fighting scenes plus the soundtrack. Honestly, I've been watching it almost everyday since the first time I've watched it.

    I have watched and will probably continue to watch Idiocracy, Cabin in the Woods, and Crash forever. I love all of those movies, I use Idiocracy to scare my kids into studying more.

    I am so guilty of this very same thing. When I fall in love with a movie I just have to see it more than once or twice. I think I've seen The Lake House. There is an embarrassing long list of movies I will always love no matter how much time goes by. Here's a couple; Legends of the Fall with Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins. This is an epic tale of a family that goes through so much tragedy yet remains strong throughout their trials. One more movie I can watch over and over is, Cold Mountain with Renee Zellweger and Jude Law. This movie is set at the time of the Civil War and is full of passion, tragedy and real emotions. I guess these movies are what people refer to as 'chick flicks.'

    Titanic was and will always be a classic in movie history. It was a collaboration of brilliant artists from the set design, to the costumes, and the amazing sound track. James Cameron; the Director of the movie was able to tell this beautiful, yet tragic story with so much intensity and attention to detail. I don't think I've seen the Notebook yet. You've got good taste.

    Oh absolutely, I've probably watched both Forest Gump and Mrs. Doubtfire over fifty times each. I've seen Taxi Driver and Miracle on 34th Street around two dozen times each. I don't think I could ever get tired of watching any of them.

    I can watch all 3 hours of the Color Purple over and over again. My next favorites that I can watch over and over are Coming to America, Harlem Knights, Bridesmaids and The Best Man. I'm also a sucker for anything suspenseful.

    Absolutely, I watched "Gladiator" by Ridley Scott almost twenty times and i'll never get tired of watching it!!!

    I rememeber perfectly General Massimo Decimo Meridio's discourse to his army before the battle against the barbarians and i still love it. I think this is one of the best performances of Russell Crowe.

    I recommend it!!!

    I rarely watch any movie more than once, but I have watched Avatar at least twice, and if it comes around on the TV again I plan to record it. This movie is so good in it's presentation. The quality of the sound, color, and storyline are above most animated movies. As I get into the show I totally forget that it's not even about a true possibility of occurrences. For me it's what makes a show worth rewatching.

    If a movie can take an impossibility, and make it seem real, then that movie will always have me coming back.

    You know I would watch Shirley Temple movies as well as Charlie Chan movies over and over and over again. There's some Harry Potter fans and I'm one of them too. I'd watch Harry Potter over and over again too. I like Labyrinth with David Bowie. The movie Ladyrinth is a rock opera starring David Bowie. You get both music and a movie rolled up in one in Ladyrinth.

    There are several movies I like to watch from time to time and some I used to watch a lot in my past. These include but aren’t limited to…

    Face/Off – I’ve seen this movie like 10 times maybe. Me and my sister know most of the dialogue by heart and like to recite it at every appropriate (and sometimes inappropriate) occasion.

    National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon 1 – One of the best comedies ever made (see below for another). I must’ve watched this over 20 times. I first saw it when I was quite young, and as English isn’t my first language and I had to rely on subtitles, I missed a huge amount of jokes. Watching the movie again a bit older, I keep finding subtle things here and there that I missed earlier.

    Airplane! - This and the above are the best comedy films ever made, in my opinion. I’ve watched this too well over 10 times during my lifetime (starting as a child). Same goes as for the above about the language and finding some jokes a decade later.

    There are probably more, but these I can think of off the top of my head.
