1. Apollo 13 - This was the movie that made me think of this idea. I can't even count how many times I've seen this one and every time it comes on I end up watching it and holding my breath as they wait to get back into contact with the capsule. It came on the other night and we watched the last 45 minutes or so and then it started playing again and could barely turn it off.
2. The Princess Bride - This is one of my favorite movies of all time and rewatching it is never a bad idea. The casting is perfection, the script is genius and there are so many absolutely perfect moments that I never get tired of watching it.
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail - This isn't one of my favorite movies but somehow if it is on I watch it. And every time I watch it I discover something I either never noticed or completely forgot about it.
4. Casablanca - I don't think I'm alone in thinking this is one of the best movies of all time and there are so many perfect moments and quotable lines that it is always compelling.
5. Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Green Gables the Sequel - Megan Follows will always be Anne for me and while the Sequel isn't super connected to the book but it is so Anne-ish and wonderful and I want to go watch it right now!
Do you have any movies you can watch over and over?
Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth at any time!
ReplyDeleteI like Apollo 13 as a film! The films I watch the most though are Harry Potter, Jurassic Park/World, Barnyard, Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, The Fog, The Thing, Alien, Aliens...
ReplyDeleteGreat list, and I'm all in with the Princess Bride too. I can't seem to help myself, but I keep watching all of the Bourne movies over and over and over again when they come on television, even though I have the DVD's. It's crazy, I know.(lol) On the other end of the spectrum, it's all about the Wedding Crashers with Vince Vaughn, which still makes me giggle every time I watch it. Sure hope your Friday is amazing, Katherine! Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteI'm with you--we own the Bourne trilogy and watch them at least once a year.
DeleteThe Princess Bride is one I can watch over and over as well! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Casablanca and Anne too. I don't think I've ever seen The Princess Bride! My favourite movie is a really old one called "The Thing Called Love" with River Phoenix in it. I just love the storyline and the music.
ReplyDeleteYou have some good titles there! We have Casablanca, Princess Bride and O, Brother Where Art Though in our repeat lineup. I can also watch Nottinghill more often than Doug so, that's one of mine,
ReplyDeleteSo many good movies mentioned here! I like your list, Katherine, and would add the Harry Potter movies, The Burbs (we watch on or around Labor Day), and several others that I can't remember at the moment. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list! The Princess Bride, Harry Potter movies, MP's Holy Grail, Spaceballs are a few of mine.
ReplyDeleteThe Princess Bride is so awesome. :) And Casablanca is such a classic. I have a few movies that if they're on I'll pretty much drop everything and watch them. Jurassic Park is in that category. I used to love watching the right stuff also.
ReplyDeleteAnne of Green Gables for sure! I could also watch Groundhog Day, It's a Wonderful Life, and Say anything over and over.
ReplyDeleteEnchanted April. Love this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! I loved The Princess Bride and Apollo 13.
ReplyDeleteOnly one I've watched is the Anne of Green Gables, loved that version too. My fave is Notting Hill!
ReplyDeleteThe Harry Potter series and Pride and Prejudice.
ReplyDeleteYes to all of these! I would add The Wizard of Oz, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Practical Magic to my list. 👍✨
