Man of Steel
I only usually rewatch films whenever I feel like I'd need a pick-me-up. Something light-hearted, so I'd usually go for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
But during my recent movie marathon, I discovered more films which are actually good contenders for a rewatch such as The Fundamentals of Caring (highly recommended) and The Land of Steady Habits.
Anytime they pop up we watch Casino Royale, Groundhog Day, Family Stone. We were late picking friends up at the airport yesterday because we were sitting in a hotel watching Grease. I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but it's exhausting to watch so i sometimes skip it.
Strangely enough, the Underworld series. Ah and yes all the Back to the Future movies, I would rewatch them a thousand times more.
The fast and the furious 1,2,3
Warrior with Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte. Bawl my eyes out at the end every time I watch it.
Pee Wee's Big Adventure as a child and too many Michael Bay Transformers sequels as an adult due to their frequency on FX and now Pluto TV. I think Dark of the Moon is aired most often.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
It is somehow my goto "comfort"-movie
Your Name (Kimi no Na wa). I've seen it at least a dozen times; it's always incredibly emotionally impactful every time. Really beautiful movie.
Shaun Of The Dead
Jurassic park!
There's a good set of movies I rewatch a lot so I can't say which is most often, but I'll pick a couple.
The first Matrix movie is up there for me. I think it's the best one and I've rewatched it the most. I've rewatched the following two, but not as much. I thought the fourth one was weird and produced too late so not going to watch that one again.
There's an obscure movie called Hunter Prey (2010) that I've rewatched a lot. It's a low budget sci-fi, but it's almost like a play with limited settings, just a handful of actors, and limited special effects. I really like the story, actors, and setting plus the music is good. Probably most people would think it's shit, but sometimes a low budget film can really nail it for me.
- My Neighbor Totoro
- Spirited Away
- 5 Centimeters per Second
- Your Name
- A Silent Voice
- I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
- The Graduate
- Summer of '42
- Lost in Translation

The judge.
Leaves everything behind to become this great lawyer but when the unfortunate happens he has to go back and come to terms with what he thought was once lost.
Not sure why I keep watching it but I do enjoy how it develops.
draft - Steve Jobs (2015 Fassbender version)
The Cabin in the Woods.
2012, Wolf of Wall Street and the back to the future trilogy
Ghostbusters. Saw it hundreds of times as a kid. Still watch it every few years.
Redline is my guilty pleasure movie. I watch it at least 3x a year to marvel at the animation.
As a kid, my top ones:
- The Sandlot
- The Mighty Ducks
- Rookie of the Year
- Hook
As an adult:
- Superbad
- I Love You, Man
- Pineapple Express
- Almost Famous
The Batman. Dune
There's a few for me but I'm going to go with A Knight's Tale and The Other Guys. Can't get enough of those 2
Aliens Forrest Gump Incredibles Shrek Shawshank Redemption 5th Element Ice Age
Just one, Interstellar. I don't watch a lot of movies but that one just hits different, I've watched it 7 times, could watch it again.
I saw Matrix 2-3 times when I was a kid, but no more than that.
For me American Pie (was the first movie I've watched in English, when I was finding out you could switch languages on dvd), followed by the Matrix.
Lone Wolf McQuade. Taped it on VHS and watched it with my friends all the time π
