Films You Can & Do View Repeatedly

ATP · Mar 21, 2007

I am a regular viewer of dvds-I watch around 1 film per night (sometimes more). Yet, there are films which are part of my 'collection' that I will watch repeatedly, over the course of time.

Some of these primarily for entertainment value, others like Japanese films because they have a particular resonance. How about you?

Those I watch for entertainment value are, in no particular order:

The Third Man

All The President's Men

Good Night and Good Luck

Batman Begins

His Girl Friday

Matador

Casablanca (and other Bogart films)

The Last Shot

The Big Lebowski

Fargo

12 Monkeys

As far as vidieos go, I don't really watch them too often. When I do It's usually disney movies that feature dogs. I especially love Lady and the Tramp. It's the best love story of all time, so they say. For DVDs, my favorites are sky High, the Harry Potter series, and Clueless.

I like a lot of movies, I'm the type that just can't watch the same movie more than once, unless years have gone by or something. However, the one and only exception (well, I guess it is actually 6 exceptions) is the Star Wars saga. For some reason, I just never get sick of them. :Hail:
