I like movies but i'm not the type he will just watch a movie many times out of habit. There is one movie over the years i've seen several times since a young age and I know it will come on again soon. Its called A Christmas Story and I know alot of people know about it. I think its on TNT they air 24 hours of a Christmas Story on Christmas. The movie it self was not meant to be a very big or popular film but it just turned out that way.

Its really weird but I do watch movies over and over. Even if I know whats going to happen. Sometimes it just cheers me up especially if it is a really bad day for me. Most of the movies I watch are romantic comedies. I do sometimes watch cartoons/animated movies. It always brings a smile to me.

I love Jacky Chan and Jet Li! We have some movies or a collection of their movies and I can’t help it but to watch it every now and then…. I dunno, I seem to forget and have to watch it again then I would get excited hahaha but if there is a movie that I really can’t forget and tired of watching, it is “My Best friend’s Wedding”. I love that film. I’ve seen it hundred of times already. Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

Like yourself I too have watched "A Christmas Story" many times over. Ralphie and his brother are hysterical along with the Dad and Mom, they have some classic scenes which supply alot of laughs thoroughout the movie. Another movie I have seen at least a dozen times is "My Cousin Vinny". Marisa Tomei's courtroom scene is priceless and Joe Pesci was awesome. Speaking of Pesci I have also watched the movie "Goodfellas" a number of times as well. I also watch any of the X-Men movies any time I can as well as the Vacation movies with Chevy Chase. Another movie I have seen numerous times is "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and also "Animal House". A favorite of me and friends from college back in the 80's which we watched frequently was an army movie called "The Boys in Company C", and the Clint Eastwood movie "Heartbreak Ridge". Of course the "Dirty Harry" movies were awesome as well along with "High Plains Drifter" and "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", which I have watched numerous times as well. Good movies are just good movies, and I find it fun to watch them again and again,as they provide good entertainment no matter how many times you view them. And come on, who hasn't watched "The Wizard of Oz" more than once?

I liked the movie My Cousin Vinny. I remember watchig the movie fast times at ridgemont high being very young and not realizing how much of a classic it was and remembering some of the funny scenes involving Sean Penn.

Well I dont watch movies over and over again now but while I was a child I used to like watch it so many times that I couldnt count. I used to buy a VHS and used to watch it like more than 50 times specially the cartoons which are fun to watch such as tom and jerry. I used to like it very much and would love to watch it over and over and over again. It was like a hobby to me and it was fun to do so. anyways even now days I feel like watching movies over and over again. I do end up watching the movies I like really much like 5 or more times even now. Well the things I do over and over again may be like listen to my favorite sons. I use Itunes to listen to y song and well I have like listened to a song like more than 200 times and I am still not fed up of it.

I have this situation as well. Some are really worth seeing twice or even more. Everytime you see, yu would get different feelings, that's the main reason for me to see several times. I love MOVIES from European countries. But I just don't know what movies are worth seeing. Do you have any advice for me?THANKS PS:I love comedies and movies about usual life.

A Christmas Story is one of my hubby's favorites. His favorite part is when the mother makes the youngest brother put on that puffed out winter jacket and the poor kid just looks like a giant marshmellow and can't bend his arms haha! I like the part where the boy actually gets to see santa and they push him down that slide but they make Santa and his elves look really evil. A movie that I can watch over and over is National Lampoons Vegas Vacation. I love the music in that movie and the comedy that is just never ending. Have a great night

Romeo and Juliet. i dont know if there is other versions, but the one with leonardo di Caprio in it. i like the way the twist it from old english time to the present and still preserving the lines and the story. i like how Harold Perrineau played mercutio, too bad he had to die. even how well you know how romeo and juliet ended, you still hope they still lived happily ever after.

The first movie that comes to mind for me when thinking of a movie I watch constantly is the movie Clue. The board game had always been my favorite board game when I was a kid and I had actually never known they had made a movie based on it back in 1985 up until like eight or nine years ago. I had just happened to see the movie in a movie rental place and decided to rent it. Down the road, I bought the movie somewhere and ended up loving it. There were times that I seriously would watch the movie once a night for days straight. I guess the only other movie I can think of that I could say the same for your question is the movie Weekend at Bernie's. I don't know why, but tnere's just something about the movie that I really love. It just seems to always put me in a happier mood.

I've watched Titanic for 12 times until I memorized the dialogues.lol!lately, I watched Twilight three times and plan to watch it again this weekend. Both movies powered with wonderful dialogues and plot with overwhelming romantic punches. That's how the film hold together. Titanic and Twilight both tackles sacrificing and eternal love that crosses class lines, which can both relate to this adage: Love and Fate will always find a way regarding how hopelessly impossible the circumstances are.

The day after tomorrow I guess. It seems like that is happening just at a slower pace. It very interesting. With everything that is going on around the world mother nature doesn't seem she is too happy and is letting us know more and more every year. I really don't want to know whats going to happen this hurricane season. The past 2 bad hurricanes we have had in New Orleans was Besty then Katrina. The year before they came it snowed and my grandmother in law pointed this out to us. Can you guess what happen last year? We had snow and it snowed so much the snow stuck for a while. No we didn't have to shove our roads but its the most snow I have ever seen in my life living here. I am very worried what will come this hurricane season. Maybe New Orleans would be gone forever.

I am a huge fan of action flicks and of my all time favorite movies would be The matrix . I have seen that movie countless times . I simply love the dialogues; ex: "Don't think you are know you are" i can remember all the dialogues of the movie. And obviously the action sequence is one of the best of all time.

I have seen " A Christmas Story" and " A Christmas Story 2" several times. It on every christmas and sometimes even on Halloween as weel. I can seem to um=nderstand why though. Here , A week or two before and after christmas all the christmas movies are on. day and night. I guess its because ther isn't that many new christmas movies comming every year. Merry Christmas all

There are a lot of movies that I watch over and over again. But surprisingly they are not seasonal Christmas movies. I don't generally like to watch Christmas movies because there are never any surprises, they all end the same. But some of the movies that I have watched multiple times are: V for Vendetta The Phantom of the Opera G.I. Jane Legally Blonde These are just a few of my favorites.

I've seen some of Legally Blonde but didn't care too much for the movie.
