Everyone talks about a good film. But which ones actually stick with your regular viewing?

Responses:

Seen Argo a few times, but No Country for Old Men—Seen Gladiator, the most for the ones from this century -- nm - Flavorize Mar 29, 16:35
I...don't? -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 16:29
Just because it shows up on tv more than the others, probably Rocky. -- nm - pmb Mar 29, 16:27
The only one I remember watching multiple times is Gone with the Wind. -- nm - Meg Mar 29, 16:05 1
- it's also hi on my multiple time list -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 29, 16:51
Used to be American Beauty. I guess Silence of the Lambs would be the next one? Though I haven't watched all of it for a while. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 16:03
Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! -- nm - crash davis Mar 29, 15:58
Return of the King... I really do not rewatch movies though -- nm - colin Mar 29, 15:54
Forrest Gump. (I’ve watched The Sound of Music the most out of all BP winners, though.) -- nm - kelly Mar 29, 15:37 1
- It has to be that, it was just always on. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 15:37
Mine is spotlight. I didn't realize social network hadn't wom. -- nm - Pocket Jones Mar 29, 15:29
Godfather -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 29, 15:21
The list of movies I watch regularly is very short. -- nm - Ender Mar 29, 15:20 2
- Same. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 15:35 1
  - this -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 29, 16:51
Casablanca, Birdman. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 29, 14:52 1
- (I missed recent, which means Birdman wins.) -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 29, 15:42
Lawrence of Arabia (did that win?). Not always the whole thing every time it's on TV though. -- nm - LMS Mar 29, 14:48 7
- We watch it every year, during the depths of winter. -- nm - Roger More Mar 29, 15:42
- We saw that when first released in a cinema in Leicester Square. Was there one actually called the Leicester Square Theater. Bill used to usher there. -- nm - Meg Mar 29, 15:10 4
  - It either had a *really* long run, or re-release. Released in 1962 and we saw it in '64-65. -- nm - Meg Mar 29, 15:15 3
    - I think it's likely to be either the old Odeon or the Empire. -- nm - LMS Mar 29, 15:19 2
      - Found this article. Was there a camel at your screening? -- (link) - LMS Mar 29, 15:25 1
        
        Thank you! No, this had to have been a good 2-3 years later. I didn't get to London until mid-1964 and we left at the end of '65. -- nm - Meg Mar 29, 16:04
- Checked the list it did. Otherwise answer would be Silence of a Lambs or The Apartment. -- nm - LMS Mar 29, 14:54
Gandhi -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 29, 14:46
Gladiator most because it's on tv most. Braveheart and Rocky are close behind. Among nominees: Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark. -- nm* - Max Mar 29, 14:40
Winner: LOTR Nominee: Call Me By Your Name or Mad Max Fury Road (Dune might get there) -- nm - MDH Mar 29, 14:40
1) Great question. 2) *In my lifetime* the answer is The Sound of Music, in the last 25 years - American Beauty? -- nm - rollo Mar 29, 14:35 2
- I haven't seen either of these. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 29, 14:36 1
  - See Sound of Music for cultural literacy. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 15:36
Titanic, Spotlight - JD Mar 29, 14:34 3
- I watched Spotlight a second time. I don't think I can watch it a third. - prayformojo Mar 29, 14:36 2
  - I think I have an easier time as I view it from a perspective that there's part of humanity that is just awful - JD Mar 29, 14:41 1
    - the screen after screen of names at the end.... -- nm - prayformojo Mar 29, 14:42
Using a broad definition of "regularly" I'll say Spotlight -- nm - Dano Mar 29, 14:33
Argo. If we're just talking nominees, it's Black Panther. -- nm - David Mar 29, 14:33 2
- I'm kind of surprised it's not The Martian for nominees -- nm - JD Mar 29, 14:46 1
  - It's not as recent as Black Panther. If we mean total viewings, it's totally The Martian. -- nm - David Mar 29, 14:47
Technically it's Return of the King, but I've seen Gump more times. (Shawshank should've won.) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 29, 14:33 1
- I've also seen Unforgiven more times than ROTK, but I haven't watched it recently because ... Clint. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 29, 14:35
I’ll watch Spotlight if it’s on. Then Argo. Probably seen Departed the most. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 29, 14:32 1
- I haven't seen Spotlight, but I'll re-watch any of these three. Someday. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 29, 14:34
