Hot Fuzz

Palm Springs , because it's an easy watch, it's funny and there is not much to stress out about.

Any of the "Cornetto trilogy" by Edgar Wright and starring Pegg and Frost, my favorite being Hot Fuzz . I'd even add Scott Pilgrim. There are so many details, jokes, references and other easter eggs that I just don't tire of watching them.

Finally, one of my all-time favs is Amelie , it awakened my love for cinema, it is beautiful, it has a heartwarming message and there is no real conflict in it.

Princess Bride, and I enjoyed watching Ready Player One a few times. Any Month Python movie. Mr Nobody.

Team America: World Police

Shit just doesn't age.

The Shawshank Redemption

I used to watch Tombstone (or at least parts of it) every day after school.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy

The Abyss

The Thing

Ben-Hur

Spartacus

Taxi Driver

Godfather I and II

Tarkovsky's Stalker

Terminator 2

Alien and Aliens

"Marathon Man" It was written by the author of "The Princess Bride" and was designed to need rewatching. A minor character in one scene shows up halfway through the story. A casual conversation gives away an entirely new slant on two characters.

"Big Trouble In Little China." I can't believe I'm the first to mention this one. Completely stupid on every level, yet it works perfectly.

TLOTR trilogy. I could watch those til the end of time.

Fargo

Mars Attacks!

Glengarry Glen Ross

It's the only movie where I watched it was was like "shit, I could watch it again right away". And I did. And again it was great. After that I rewatched it many times. The acting is just sooooo good it never gets boring. I think Spacey has the weakest performance there and it says a lot if two Academy Award winning actor looks average compared to his castmates.

For me -

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
• Godzilla (1954 & 1956)
• Gamera (1965)
• The Lord of the Rings (all three, extended editions)
• Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)

And proof that I'm kinda a film nerd (and I had family in journalism)...

• Citizen Kane (1941)

Oh, and most Star Trek movies.

5th element

Pulp fiction. I don't watch movies multiple times normally, but pulp fiction I watch yearly. It's the pinnacle of the art.

Any Denis Villeneuve film.

The boondock saints (the sequel is shit, ignore that)

Event Horizon and Scream

Some good ones in no particular order:

Back to the Future trilogy

Congo

Goldeneye

Dumb and Dumber

Ace Ventura 2

The Fifth Element

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

School of Rock

I used to rewatch "The man who wasn't there" yearly. I'd often desaturate the TV because out works so well in black and white.
