I love it, I first watched it with a friend and I was hooked. I was thinking about reading the book, I think its part of a triology by someone (can't remember who though)

The name is Gene Brewer, and apparently it's no longer a trilogy, but a tetralogy (or perhaps a trilogy with an appended novel -- a new trilogy beginning, perhaps?):

Sommersby, it always has me in tears!
LOTR's. Love those movies.
Phantom of the Opera, Moulin Rouge, I'm a sucker for Musicals.
The Last Samurai, love this movie.
Walk the Line, "You got me all fired up!" Mmmmmmmm

Short answer: All of 'em!

If I buy them, it's because I'll be rewatching them. And I have over a hundred movies, 4 out of 5 Star Trek series, and 7 TV series (not counting my wife's collection).

If I like a movie I'll watch it again, although I generally like some time to pass between viewings.. I didn't have that with The Incredibles, though, which is pretty rare for me..

But a movie I've watched several times now and that I didn't see mentioned is One flew over the Cuckoo's nest, and I must say that surprised me, because I think it's one of the best movies made...

Oh, and Kubrick's The Shining I haven't seen mentioned either, nor the Exorcist, for that matter... What's up guys? No Horror fans here?

P.S. One of my absolute favorites is The Seven Samurai.

The shining,sure thing
The grudge
the Ring
bear rewatching
OO
what's that behind me
Oh,no it's

Uhm... my apologies to all the people who actually did post Horror in their posts... I must've been blind...

I usually rewatch only comedies because I'm afraid to watch horror films again (could hardly gather my courage to wath them once ) and detectives are not as interesting when you know the outcome. My current favourite comedies are Shaun of the Dead and The Frighteners.

I also like to rewatch sci-fi films because I like CGI, and occasionally action films if there are good fights and car chases.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest is definitely a great movie, Jack's best. And the book, which is better ofcourse, (but books always are), is worth reading several times.

By the way, just watching The Matrix for the first time in a while. I agree that the sequels stunk, but the first one, while a nice idea, isn't doing much for me either. To quote "prolly (is that a word?) the most overrated movie ever......."

I love Nightmare before Christmas and often have it just playing in the back ground.

My other constantly re-watched films are:
Mummy
Eric the Viking
The Gods must be Crazy
Supergrass (by the Young ones Team)

[Wyrm Publishing]

A lot of overlap with what's already posted, but one I don't think I've seen mentioned in Repo Man.

[manephelien]

Lord of the Rings (EEs only, but all three)
Star Wars OT and occasionally PT
The Abyss
X-men 1 and 2

Non-SF:
A Walk on the Moon

Guilty pleasure:
Dirty Dancing

Truly, a person of taste and quality.
This is my favorite film of all times.

The Shining is OK, but it just doesn't measure up to the book (the book I can read again and again...)
The Exorcist is all right, but not one I feel particularly inclined to rewatch loads of times. Although the scene where she crabwalks down the stairs is great
I'm a big horror fan...I especially love zombie films, as I said previously, I could watch them again and again (especially the Evil Dead films, and the old films like Dawn of the Dead. Fantastic ) And there are a few recent horror films like The Ring, The Grudge and Silent Hill that I like to rewatch, just for certain moments like the ending of The Ring with the tv etc.
