The mention of IT'S a MAD,MAD,MAD WORLD got me to wondering...what movies have you seen countless times,and you still feel compled to watch them again...here's some Iv'e seen I Don't Know How Many Times...
. the WIZARD of OZ- We watched this movie every year,as a kid...and if it's on TV,I still watch it.
.TORA ,TORA,TORA- My Dad loved this movie...and I watched as well every time it was on...and still do!
.the SHINING-Saw it at the movie theater back when it was released...now I own it...and still enjoy it...over and over..."forever,and ever,and ever..."
.the BRAIN that WOULD'NT DIE-First saw it as a kid on TV...and when I first bought a VHS player,this was one of the first movies I bought. I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
.BRIDE of the MONSTER- My favorite Lugosi movie. I could watch this once a month. And may have.
.ENTER the DRAGON-One of the first movies I shared with my kids...and we still will sit and watch this one ."It's like a finger pointing at the moon..."
there are more...but these ones are at the top...
What movies do YOU watch, over and over and over.....and still get a kick out of?
Probably Indiana Jones and the holy grail. I probably could watch it repeatedly for the rest of my life and I still wouldn't be bored.
It's got a bit of everything. action adventure and cheesy romance what more could ya ask for?
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original 1974 movie, not that piece of Michael Bay s**t) - I have watched this dozens upon dozens of times; even repeat viewings in the same night.
Tremors - Always fun. Even after all the times I have seen it, I will still watch it, whether popping in a movie or catching it on TV.
Doctor Butcher M.D. - Yep, still beating up the old VHS copy and wishing they would put this cut out on DVD. Too much fun in one splatter film.
Zombie - My favorite Fulci film, and my namesake. Still love sitting down and watching this.
Zeder (a.k.a. Revenge of the Dead...loved by people with intelligence, hated by those without) - One of my all time favorite horror movies. Should only be viewed from a Lightning Video VHS or region 2 DVD as most other copies are cut.
Alone in the Dark (1983) - Another favorite horror movie that never gets dull.
Most Christmas movies I'll watch year after year (It's a Wonderful Life, Scrooge, Chistmas Vacation, etc.).
Films I find endlessly watchable:
PATTON
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
NETWORK
YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU
The original Star Wars Trilogy
Godzilla, King of the Monsters
A Christmas Carol (1951)
It's A Wonderful Life
Frankenstein (1931)
Bride of Frankenstein
The Stuff (1985)
Jaws - I'm still afraid to swim in water I can't see through clearly
My Fair Lady
Any of the Mad Max films
Earthquake - serious 70's cheesefest! Charlton Heston was king of the bad actors in his day, even if he did win an Oscar he was still bad.
Planet of the Apes - the first one only, the rest were appalling
Starwars: A New Hope. I think I can quote every line of that movie.
A Clockwork Orange
Forbidden Zone
The Star Wars films (more the originals than the new ones)
Night of the living dead
And I'm suprised no one has yet mentioned Rocky Horror - Serious fans will go to see it at least once every week
the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE!!!! Dam! How did I forget that one?!?! That was another of the first vhs tapes I ever got...along with the 1st NIGHT of the LIVING DEAD!!! Never get old...now the gears are working again...
.the EXORCIST !!!!!!
.DEATHRACE 2000
.all 3 STOOGES shorts...(minus the ones with Joe Besser,or the movies...)
.Warner Bros. Cartoons and Tex Avery cartoons !!!
. the 1933 KING KONG
.FRANKENSTIEN(1931)
.WHITE ZOMBIE (1932)
. the RAVEN (1934) with Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff
.FULL METAL JACKET
.the GOOD,the BAD and the UGLY
.the WILD ANGELS with Peter Fonda and Bruce Dern
.
I never get tired of the first four:

Real easy ... The Goonies and Clash of the Titans 100,000,000 times oh and most of the Gamera movies too :twirl:
I need The Goonies on at night to put me to sleep ...
BLOODSPORT!
This is the most fun B-Movie I've ever witnessed, ever since I was younger...I watched it repeatedly on TV, and I watch it repeatedly now on DVD. It's the most fun when I watch it with my teenage sister now, and we have a blast making fun of everything, from the ridiculous 80's hairstyles, to voice actors whitely attempting to do accents for some of the ethnic characters.
Oh! And the action still manages to be pretty kickass. It's the only Van Damme movie I've EVER found entertaining.
Kumite! Kumite! Kumite! Kumite! Kumite! Kumite! Kumite! Kumite! :teddyr:
Crazy Timbo's WOTW - not sure why
Wonder Woman, the complete series - long story

must be like instant replay :bouncegiggle:
Destroy All Monsters- I still get the sense of awe that I did as a kid watching everyone team up on Ghidorah. I think I peed a few times seeing that the first time.
Shaun of the Dead- No matter how many times I watch it, I just never get bored of it.
Dead Alive- Same as SotD.
Lady in the Water- I really haven't seen it that much, but I never get tired of seeing it.
The Thing- I need a fix every so often. It's been like crack for me.
Newer Gamera trilogy- The films just blew me away when I first saw them. I still feel a bit blown out of the water watching them actually.

Aliens
Bachelor Party
Better off Dead
Krull
