Suggest a movie that has a lot of rewatch value for you and let us know why.

I love muli-layered crime dramas with an ensemble cast. Not a big fan of CGI, and can rarely get through a comic book movie.

1. Heist - excellent cast, lots of double crossing, great insight into criminal culture
2. Ronin - another favorite, never get tired of seeing Sean Bean get bumped out of the crew
3. Heat - so many great scenes and lines, excellent actors even in the small roles
4. The Professional aka Leon - not a true ensemble cast but Gary Oldman

Ronin has a great cast, amazing car chases and decent scenes but the clunky dialogue detracts from it somewhat.

Most of the others have been said (not seen Robocop though?!)

Total Recall
Fifth Element
T1 &2
Omen 1&2
I, Robot
Goodfellas

Memento. But you kinda have to watch that a few times to truly get it

Good shout. I definitely got a few viewings out of it to piece together the story. Very solid cast.

@Ubik I have watched the Leone/Eastwood movies many times. Very satisfying and many levels to appreciate.

Drive. Short, great music and brilliant.

An excellent movie (well acted and filmed) for me but seeing it twice was enough. I didn't get much more out of it the second time where something like Heist the dialogue and tension between different characters stood out in different ways watching it several times.

No Country For Old Men is another one I find fascinating for the building dramatic tension during the cat & mouse chasing.

Glad this was mentioned :) (Granted it was in post 2 lol) but still my fav movie of all time. Most of the ones I would have mentioned have been said
-Matrix, T2, Home Alone.

Also I know its animation, but Toy Story.
 
My Dinner with Andre - Every time I watch it, there's a different interpretation for the movie. Very absorving and thought provoking all in all.
Suna no Onna - Another really twisted and profound movie loosely based on the myth of Sisyphus, and driven by the uniqueness of its plot.
Pi - Love how bizarrely brilliant Maximillian Cohen is. Really engaging stuff.
Fight Club - Pretentious and tacky, but has a rebellious undertone that most men can resonate with. Surprised that it doesn't have a lot of mentions already.
Pan's Labyrinth - Fairy tail for grown-ups. What's not to like ?
Into the Wild - Footloose appeal, smashing soundtrack, keep returning to it.

Movies that I will definitely not watch again, ever - Life is Beautiful, Hotaru no Haka, Dancer in the Dark.
 
Die Hard (original Trilogy)
Back to The Future (all)
Home Alone
Usual Suspects
Oceans 11
Goodfellas
Fast & Furious (all of them!)
Bourne Trilogy (Legacy sucks)


I'm doubtless forgetting some, but I'm more of a series watcher than movies to be honest.

Saw this last year, was an odd but affecting watch. Will go back to it at some point I think, just have to stop thinking of Wallace Shawn as Rex.

Should also mention Senna - incredibly well put together and for a fan of both the sport and the bloke, quite an emotional watch which I've gone back to several times.
 
Shawshank
Con Air
Goodmorning Vietnam
Inside Man
Star Wars
Lethal Weapon - all of em
Die Hard - original 3
High Fidelity
Grosse pointe blank
Friday / Next / After next
Coming to America
Trading Places
Bourne trilogy
North by Northwest

Then pretty much any film containing John Candy, Bill Murray or Dan Aykroyd - Or Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau
 
Can't believe I forgot Bourne. Unusually consistently strong trilogy with no weak links. Just don't mention the fourth one.

Daft films, but most 80s Eddie Murphy comedies, Groundhog Day and 40 year old virgin.
Dawn of the Dead and any X-Men film, barring 3 and the Wolverine one in Japan.
 
The Matrix - My favourite movie of all time. Mind blowing when it came out, and everything from the stories to the themes and characters and action still hold up.
In Bruges - The perfect mix of hilarious and sombre, I'll never get sick of this. And Clémence Poésy, mmmmm.
Heat - Always interesting, always tense, and it features both Pacino and De Niro at the top of their game. Intense third act, love the way it builds.
The Dark Knight - The best comic book film of all time. Sure Ledger delivers an insanely good performance, but everyone else is at their best too, including Nolan.
Love Actually - Brilliant cast, charming script, a lot of heart, and quite funny. Still can't believe that pussy Mark turned out to be Rick Grimes.
The Room - The easy "so bad its good" choice, but there's a reason why. I laughed harder when I first saw this than I have during 99% of actual comedies.
Blade Runner - My favourite science fiction film of all time (I don't really count The Matrix as true sci-fi).
RocknRolla - Lock Stock and Snatch are both great, but to me RocknRolla is Guy Ritchie's best. Still peeved we got two Sherlock films and now Man From UNCLE instead of a sequel for this.

Whiplash and Interstellar both only came out last year, but I've seen them both a lot and they'll probably join this list.
 
The Shining
The Exorcist
The Godfather films
The Deerhunter

Hopefully they won't all have a 'The' prefix......

The Departed
The a Great Escape
Usual Suspects
American History X
Legends of the fall
Heat
Spartacus
In Bruge
Watchmen

Too many to mention - and for no reason whatsoever they're films I watch over and over.


My wife always says "we've seen that" but when she's getting ready to go out and puts her 'going out' music on I say "we've heard that".
 
The Big Lebowski
Spinal Tap
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Step Brothers
Inglorious Basterds
Django Unchained
Shawn of the Dead
Hot Fuzz
In Bruges
The Great Escape
 
The Goonies. I've seen it about 20 times and could easily watch it again!
 
Home Alone 1, 2
Shawshank Redemption
Cool Hand Luke
Inside Man
Die Hard Series
Lethal Weapon
La Bamba(dont ask :nervous:)
A Perfect World
 
Forrest Gump. I absolutely love it.

I get a strange fit now and again to watch The Commitments or In Bruges.
 
When Harry Met Sally
Schindlers List
Lawrence of Arabia
My Neighbour Totoro
 
Lone Wolf and Cub 1 - 6 - I actually spent weeks adding subtitles to the much superior Japanese DVDs.
Dredd - I have loved the character since I was a kid and it was finally done properly. Feck Stallone.
 
Groundhog Day
In Bruges
Die Hard

I don't reckon there are many movies I've seen more than those 3 in a 'go out of the way to put them on' kind of way.

Obviously stuff like The Goonies, Bond etc... gets watched if I catch it on TV.
 
God Father
Troy
The Matrix
Oceans 11,12
The dark Knight
Enter the dragon
Shawshank redemption
Inside man
