I have several that I watch probably once a month.

In Bruges
The Cottage
Snatch

I also watch The Godfather and Scarface at least 2-3 times  a year.  :teddyr:   What about you? Any favorites that you watch so much you can recite them verbatim?   :teddyr:

I can't think of many movies that I've seen more than 2 or 3 times.

A CHRISTMAS STORY, because it's on every year.

Other than that, I've watched several MST3K versions of films maybe as many or 4-6 times each; they have lots of replayability.

Snatch I don't watch as much as In Bruges but about 3 times a year or something, probably, same goes for Lock, stock and two smoking barrels.
Good will hunting
Indiana Jones trilogy
Godzilla (1954)
The streetfighter (with Sonny Chiba)
Night of the living dead
Dawn of the dead
Army of Darkness
Zodiac
Fight club
Pretty much every Tarantino movie
They Live (most Carpenter films)
I forgot a bunch probably.
I don't watch these every month, but definately plural  times.

The Burgomaster

There are none that I watch once a month, but plenty that I try to watch one or more times a year:

During the Christmas season:

* SCROOGE and A CHRISTMAS CAROL (Albert Finney, Alastair Sim, Reginald Owen, Seymour Hicks, and even the Rich Little versions)
* A CHRISTMAS STORY

Random times throughout the year:

* THE GODFATHER TRILOGY
* DELIVERANCE
* PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES
* AMERICAN GRAFFITI
* MARTY (with Ernest Borgnine before he became a B-Movie icon)
* JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (James Mason)
* WAR OF THE WORLDS (Gene Barry)
* MEAN STREETS
* SERPICO
* DOG DAY AFTERNOON
* TAXI DRIVER
* THE FRENCH CONNECTION
* SHAFT (original)
* MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE
* THE WILD BUNCH

There are several others, but this should give you a pretty good idea.

I've seen Alien and Aliens so many times I've got most of the dialogue memorized.  I've also seen Terminator 1 & 2, Predator and Mad Max a whole ton of times.  I don't really watch those movies any more though because I've just seen them too many times.  These days, maybe Ghosts of Mars and Journey to the Center of the Earth (the Greg Evigan version).  They're just fun B movies I like to toss in the DVD player every few months.

About two, three years ago I watched Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (1988) a couple of times. Haven't seen since it was first released and was more than happy that I finally found and bought the DVD.
I used to watch Purple Rain (1984) religiously back in the day, and Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985). Fright Night (1985) went on repeated viewing as well.
In the mid 90s I discovered A Night to Dismember (1983) and that one became one of my most watched in the 90s, along with The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993).
I watch these at least once or twice a year:

Poltergeist (1982)
Let's Scare Jessica To Death (1971)
Sole Survivor (1983)
Troll 2 (1990)
Showgirls (1995)
Prophecy (1979)
The Shining (1980)
Terror at Tenkiller (1986)

Movies I've watched so often I have them memorized (but I haven't necessarily watched them in a while) include:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Strange Brew
Star Wars, Episode IV, A New Hope
The Music Man
The Wizard of Oz
The Muppet Movie

Movies I watch now with fair regularity:

The Forbidden Zone
Shakes the Clown
The Bob Hope/Bing Crosby Road to... movies
"They tap dance not, neither do they fart." --Greensleeves, on the Fig Men of the Imagination, in "Twice Upon a Time."

Good movie.  Didn't know a thing about it going in and I was totally unprepared for it.  Awesome.  Gave me some of my favorite quotes involving midgets and seesaws.   :cheers:
