Watchin' movies - again & again?

All this talk about a new POTC movie got me thinking...
I've watched the first two POTC movies several times each (3rd one was awful
![puking [smilie=puking.gif]](./images/smilies/puking.gif)
. ) There are several other movies I'll watch over and over (Tin Cup, Gone in 60 Seconds, Field of Dreams, etc.)
Good friend of mine does the same thing. Dear wife, however... once she's seen a movie, she has no interest in seeing it again.
So... what about you? And, if you DO watch 'em over and over, which ones?

Of course I watch 'em over and over again. How else can I find the goofs and oddities that I then send in to the IMDb? Not to mention it took me at least three viewings of "The Sting" before I finally sorted out and understood all the nuances, hooks, and plot twists.
Besides, a lot of current movies are crap. I don't believe in vampires, zombies, or mummies coming to life anyway, and some of those conspiracy-plot movies can make a fantasy like "Field of Dreams" seem not just possible but even probable by comparison.
I'll let somebody else sort through them and separate the wheat from the chaff. In the meantime, gimme the oldies but goodies.

There are some movies that if they are on, I have to watch. This happened over the weekend with The Shawshank Redemption. There are probably a bunch of other ones too.
My wife, not so much.

Depends on the movie. If I had a dollar for every time I watched Ghostbusters with my son or when I watched Pretty Woman I'd be freaking rich!!

Yes there are a few I watch again..and again...and again...
The one at the top of my list would have to be ConAir (I think I could watch that movie every single day
)

I own Kelly's Heroes on DVD and before that VHS. Watched it a hundred times. Yet still, when I channel surf and stumble across it on TV, I stop and watch it again, commercials and all. Greatest movie of all time.
Oh, and it goes without saying that I'm on at least 200 viewings of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

In like Flint. One of the funniest movies of all time.
Every time I watch it I see something I've never seen
before it seems. Probably because I was laughing so hard
I missed it.

I've never been much of a movie goer, I don't own a television and I've never rented a DVD to bring home and pop into the computer. Does that answer the question?
