Memento, You almost have to watch it repeatedly to figure out whats going on.

I disliked the last two, was rather meh about the middle two, and have very good reason to doubt I'll like the first two.

You and I can never be.

either you are much smarter or much slower than I am... Either way, I'd wager I enjoy movies more than you do.

That is to say: is your very good reason a lack of sense of humor?
 
YES Kill Bill vol 1

2 was ok but I liked 1 much more, Quentin originally meant for both movies to be one long movie but they decided to split it up.

I can watch Die Hard, and First Blood on repeat...all day...and not hate it.

I will be doing other things as they go on, but I dont hate having these play 24/7

Can't stand Meg Ryan.

When Harry Met Sally is awesome, and totally rewatchable. I like Meg Ryan.


for me:

I've seen Godfather 1/2 about 50 times (moreoo the 2nd one, because it is much better)
8 1/2 maybe 10 times
Magnolia about 20 times.
Raging Bull about 6 times.
The Deer Hunter about 15 times?

etc. But I wouldn't consider these rewatchable by most standards.

Those that I have watched many times that I think are rewatchable for anyone:
The Big Lebowski
Grumpy Old Men
Dumb and Dumber
Early and supremely stupid Adam Sandler flicks.
True Lies
Terminator 1 or 2
The Royal Tennebaums
Ghost Busters

A movie like Die Hard I won't sit down to watch, but will likely leave the TV on the channel if it happens to be on.
 
I'd leave most mysteries off the list, because unless they have a lot of other great qualities, knowing how everything turns out usually makes it less enjoyable to watch again.

My top picks are:
Star Wars 4,5,6 - I've seen ep 4 well over 50 times, including at least 3 or 4 times when it first came out in the theater. I was born in '71.

Band of Brothers - This is probably the best thing I've ever seen and I watch it at least once a year.

Raiders of the Lost Ark - Ultimate classic adventure movie. Every kid wanted to be an archaeologist after seeing this. I can watch it over and over.

Aliens - Ultimate action/sci-fi movie. Nothing quite compares for sheer ass-kicking.

Office Space / Step Brothers / Old School / Something About Mary / Supertroopers / Superbad - Really great comedies are funny no matter how many times you've seen them.

All of these are awesome. Though I prefer Anchorman to Step Brothers and Old School. and I feel like I'm the only person in the world that prefers The Last Crusade to Raiders...and I don't know why?

That clears that up 🙂 but the question now becomes: what have you against Mel Brooks?

Ooh! UHF! Forgot that, must dig out and watch again!

Excellent list.

Thanks! For some reason UHF never gets boring to me. I've watched it so many times I can practically replay the whole movie in my head, but yet I still find myself laughing after watching it again.

I only acknowledge one Broken Lizard film was ever made.

If you want to ignore Club Dread or The Slammin' Salmon I certainly won't begrudge you that; they were mediocre at best. To refuse to acknowledge Beerfest is a tragedy. Super Troopers may be a 9/10, but Beerfest is an 8 or 8.5/10.
