Name movies you never get tired of watching

Road To Perdition could probably be added to that list. Even if I get tired of the movie itself (which I don't), Conrad L Hall would keep me spellbound every time. :)
 
Just finished the Godfather series tonight, second time seeing it. A classic that any filmmaker should study. Everything done right.
The Last Picture Show - the definition of an ensemble cast
Apocalypse Now if you can stand the ending. Visually wonderful.
The Good Bad and Ugly movies just because they made camp into a real serious genre!
The Unforgiven...my favorite western of all time.
Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin films. Shows what you can do without sound! See "One Week" about Keaton putting together a house in a week. A very funny film.
Citizen Kane.. of course.
The Third Man...better than Citizen Kane IMHO...tautest thriller of all time. Script, Acting, B&W filming at it's best...
The 39 Steps by Hitchcock.
Casablanca...maybe the greatest film of the last 100 years. Always entertaining...
Henry V by Kenneth Branagh. Great cast. Fabulous acting. Spectacular scenes.
Bladerunner...
from Europe I would add "The Conformist"
Probably Avatar, but it seems too soon to put it in a greatest of all time..

"Greatest films of all time" is a pretty broad and hard to define category.

The title of the thread is movies you never get tired of watching ... I think that's a little safer as each person's opinions don't have to conflict with anyone else.

I was gonna put in Army of Shadows, killer film, but I can't watch it more than a couple of times a month. Yet I think Army of Shadows was one of the greatest films ever made.

The Terminal, not so much, but I watched that thing on repeat for months (for some reason, can't remember why, liked gupta, thought the girl and her entire part should be burned, but I watched, again and again and again. I think I was missing new york).

Yeah there's a big difference between kick-ass movies and ones that you can watch over and over. Eternal Sunshine was good, but I can't handle watching that a lot of times.
 
Raising Arizona - cuz it's hilarious
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation - family fav
Children of Men - the single-take scenes are captivating
Amélie - most beautifully photographed movie, IMHO (BRD was hard to get a hold of!)
Catch Me if You Can - most entertaining
Vertigo - movie I like to "study" the most
Time Crimes - the only time travel movie that follows the rules
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - personal fav
Shaun of the Dead - the funnest movie to watch
Little Children - I have a crush on Kate Winslet

I think that one of my new movies I will never tire of watching is gonna be The Expendables. Still too early to know for sure. Inception might be one as well.

* There were three summers in a row, when I was around 10-12 years old where I watched these three films every day. Summer number one, it was Rambo II everyday that entire summer off from elementary school. The next summer, it was Rambo III everyday. Then the summer after that, Predator. I was an odd child.

All three except for Rambo II were crappy VHS dubs from TV. Rambo II was the first film I ever bought with my own money. I bought it on VHS from a Suncoast Motion Picture Company store in the mall, with earnings from grass mowing jobs in my neighborhood.
