For me, the better Hitchcock films. I can't help but be drawn into Vertigo, North by Northwest, even Psycho if the mood is right. A lot of my favorites are fair game for repeat watching. I've gone through phases of watching one film for a couple of weeks at a time, nighty.

I have a lot of classics along the lines of Casablanca, Strangers on a Train, 2001 A Space Odyssey, and His Girl Friday as well as independent-minded films from the last couple of decades such as Miller's Crossing and Heathers that would make my complete list, but I figured what you guys would really like to know is what film would be on my rewatch list about which I am most embarassed. Hands down it's Tommy Boy. Heaven help me, it cracks me up every time. :)

I have probably seen Heat twenty times. I love certain scenes in that movie. To this day I can't tell if DeNiro and Pacino were sitting at that table in the coffee shop at the same time or Michael Mann just made it look that way. Either way it is pretty ballsy two have to of the most acclaimed actors of our generation in a movie and only have them appear in two scenes together. I love the armored car heist and bank robbery scenes.
The other is Pulp Fiction although there are a couple of scenes in that film such as the one with Christopher Walken that I could have lived without. Still, I loved the word play between Travolta and Samuel L Jackson, The Bonnie Situation, the coffee shop holdup and all the dialogue between Bruce Willis and Maria de Medeiros and all the stuff with Travolta and Uma. I hear that in the new Samuel Jackson / Travolta movie they don't do scenes together with less successful results than in Heat .
Haven't seen it yet
Cheers!

Now that I think about, the film that I can honestly say I have watched more times in its entirety than any other is "This is Spinal Tap".

Everybody is listing good movies. Don't you have any junk food movies that you watch over and over? I owned up to Tommy Boy, so who's got the guts to own up to their own rewatchable guilty pleasures. You don't have to be afraid if Xanadu's on your list, you're among friends! [Connie Chung voice] Just between us.[\Connie Chung voice] ;)
