For me, it’s either the Matrix or Pulp Fiction. I have seen both a lot of times but certainly not more often than say a dozen times.

Everytime it was on.
Or came up in my /r/fullmoviesonyoutube feed. Which reminds me, we need that community here…
Seconded. One of my favourite films
I can’t not rewatch Hot Fuzz whenever it’s on telly
Hot Fuzz is my answer too, but never on the telly. I saw it several times in the theater and bought the dvd immediately upon release.
For the greater good!
The greater good.
Shut it!
Shaun of the dead
Came here looking for this! I knew I couldn’t be the only fan of the Winchester. I first saw the movie playing at my neighbor dive bar, which was bunker like, and yep, could definitely get with the plan of holing up there until this all blew over.
All the scenes are great and hilarious no matter how many times I see this movie.
Fun fact: Have you seen Spaced? The old friend he comes across leading the group through the back fences is a character from a prior show they were both in together.

My favorite movie
You’re all wrong. It’s Groundhog Day.
Finally! We need to move this correct answer up!
“What would you do if every day was the same and nothing you did mattered?” “That about sums up my life”
I’m sure I misquoted there but such a wonderful movie.
Oh that’s such a meta answer.
The Princess Bride is definitely up there for me. I don’t usually rewatch movies, but this is one that I’ll always be glad to sit through again and again.
Not a movie but Band of Brothers is on top of the annual revisit list for the past 15 years
Closely followed by 5th Element & Starship Troopers
I don’t rewatch movies often, but in order of most rewatched: Gattaca, Sicario, Drive, Pulp fiction, Hamilton, Les Mis, China Town…
Drive!!! What a gorgeous film. I was about to comment that it’s my most rewatched too.
Literally Groundhog Day, it’s one of my favourites and about 20 years ago I started a tradition of always watching it every Feb 2nd, and so I’ve watched it 20 times plus maybe half a dozen times before then.
I Love You Man, my comfort movie and one I never get sick of or fails to pick me up
Without a doubt “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”.
It’s only a model.
The Boondock Saints or The Matrix for me, both way over a dozen times.
Shrek. I saw it every day for like 25 straight days.
I respect you
Somehow I stopped watching movies a few years ago, which kind of annoys me but we can’t find time that much for a long movie. Of course binge watching TV series is another thing…
For me, the three rewatchables were:
- Stanley Kubrick: Barry Lyndon - If you’re into cinematography and ultra techy perfection, this is the movie. And the main character is such an asshole.
- Celine Sciamma: Portrait of a Lady on Fire - This beautiful piece hits hard. Celine has an eye for women, and the story how the ladies take care of their own business since the beginning of time is really captivating.
- Pedro Almodóvar: All About My Mother - A queer classic. I really like the old Almodóvar telenovelas on acid, but this mid-career masterpiece has everything: the cinematography, the crazy characters and the melodrama.
That mid-Almodovar peak was incredible, now that you mention it. My personal favorite from that time has to be Habla Con Ella (Talk To Her), in parallel Woody Allen filmography terms I would equate it with Hannah & Her Sisters, in artistic achievement.
Barry Lyndon is currently a rising “underrated masterpiece” topic with most of the best film critic podcasters. My personal favorite film has nearly always been 2001: A Space Odyssey, but I just recently rewatched Barry Lyndon and man… in any other filmography this would have stood alone at the top.
And we still have the rest of Kubrick’s work to contend with… Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, Paths Of Glory, Eyes Wide Shut… it’s just ridiculous.For a long time now, I’ve regarded two people as my artistic heroes of the 20th century: Stanley Kubrick and John Coltrane. Mark Rothko could be up there, too, I cannot imagine my day-to-day life without his work to stop and look at, or to simply have as a presence in my surroundings.
Do you have some good podcast recommendations on Barry Lyndon? I really like the movie. For people who are reading this and thinking Barry Lyndon is some kind of super boring and high-minded art movie, just watch it. If you appreciate photography, pictures in general, the movie is done really well. It’s like watching live paintings from that era, nothing else looks like that movie.
Edit: And what is fascinating with Barry, is how the actor Leon Vitali who did Lord Bullingdon in the movie, just abandoned his acting career and started working as an assistant for Kubrick until his death in 2022.
How could I forget these
- Hayao Miyazaki: Kiki’s Delivery Service - the perfect movie for a sick day. A guaranteed good mood after.
- Hayao Miyazaki: My Neighbor Totoro - the kids are some of the best kid characters in any movie ever.
- Hayao Miyazaki: Spirited Away - cold shiver moments like the train on top of the flooding water.
- Hayao Miyazaki: Princess Mononoke - how we can finally maybe agree even when we disagree.
3 Idiots, a feel-good Indian movie.
All is well
