Looks like pretty much all of mine have been said, but here they are anyway:
The Boondock Saints
Fight Club
Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz (Edgar Wright is amazing!)
Garden State
Batman Begins/Dark Knight
High Fidelity
Monty Python Anything
300
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Transformers (I know, I know... but I loved it)
 
Of course we all could list many more but let me give a few that haven't been said yet:

Paths of Glory
Lolita
Dr. Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb
2001: a space odyssey
A Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
Eyes Wide Shut
 
Don't laugh, but one of mine would be NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS. For that one, it's all about the house. Just looking at every detail of Lyndhurst is like a religious experience for me. (Can't wait 'til it comes out on DVD...)

There's a pattern there somewhere...:thumbup:
 
Groundhog Day - Bill Murray is a genius
Annie Hall - still my favorite Woody Allen
French Kiss - best Meg Ryan romantic comedy, just ahead of Sleepless in Seattle
Danny Deckchair - sweet and addictive
The Incredibles - the dialog never gets old
Bourne series (like everyone else)
Rounders - Ed Norton character gets me everytime
First Knight - with the late, great Heath Ledger; my kids got me hooked on this
Stand by Me - with the late, great River Phoenix as a kid
Music and Lyrics and Notting Hill - Hugh Grant throws away lines like nobody
Beverly Hills Cop - just the first one, Eddie Murphy with the throw away lines this time
The Italian Job - love that chase scene!
Runaway Bride, Pretty Woman - Julia Roberts fan
Diehard Series - count me in on this one too
The Year of Living Dangerously - awesome Linda Hunt character
The American President - Annette Bening + speech at end
Amelie - me too
Little Miss Sunshine - pushing the van
Dan in Real Life - another really fun Steve Carrell film, but ah that Juliette Binoche...
Cocoon - reliable feel-good movie
Phenomenon - John Travolta totally inhabits this totally appealing character
Good Will Hunting - another great "genius" film that gets me every time
Sherman's March - Ross McElwee first and best personal narrative - unique and funny
any Kevin Costner sports movie - watched every one at least 10 times
any early Harrison Ford movie

I've watched every one of these films at least 10 times, some more like 40-50 times. There's a bunch of other (and better) movies I watch a lot for other reasons, but these are some of the ones that just seem to grab me every time. It's almost always the character that gets me in some way, either because the acting seems so authentic and/or the dialog is great.

One other random thought. I own hundred of DVDs, but I hardly ever pull out the movies I watch a lot. What happens is I come across a movie I like on a cable movie channel and get stuck. Rounders gets me every time - I've always got to watch at least until the part where John Malkovich has the poker showdown with Matt Damon and talks in that ridiculous attempt at a Russian accent.

Fun thread!

Pretty much anything with Clint Eastwood and most any good Western. But more specifically "the man with no name" trilogy.

Fist Full of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

If I catch any one of these movies on while I am channel surfing, I am screwed. There is no chance I get anything productive done until its over.
 
Zodiac. Most people can't even stand to watch it once. I love this film. I recently bought the 2 disc director's cut and have been watching it every day since, and I'd already seen the film at least ten times. I think it goes by fast for 162 minutes. Same thing goes for There Will Be Blood. Which reminds me...

There Will Be Blood. God I love this film. It may be a relatively new film, but it's already a top ten favorite of mine.

Mutual Appreciation. Bujalski's script is great, and the acting is very natural and believable. Definitely the best "mumblecore" movie I've seen.
