Rather, the question is what movies would you want to watch over and over again.

Adventure - Raiders of the Lost Ark
Animation - Princess and the Pauper
Comedy - Airplane II
Drama - Miller’s Crossing
Fantasy - Return of the King
Horror - Shawn of the Dead

Sci-Fi - Serenity
Sport - Rocky
Thriller - The Professional
War - Glory
Western - The Good, The Bad and Ugly
It’s more of a bromance, but I like it. 
Wagon Train to the stars is canon…soooooo…
I could watch the Copier execution from Office Space a thousand times a day.
Best. Of. Bang. Bus. drpepperspew
Lebowski is totally a sports film…um…man.
Tarantino much…hehehe
The Wall! Nice. Wild Bunch! Good call. Kelly’s Heroes!!
A Boondock Saints fan, WooT! I love The Prestige, a haunting film. Nacho Libre gets better with each viewing.
The Star Trek 2009 film I refer to the Reese Pieces effect. Lemme 'splain. You’ve got your Star Wars in my Star Trek. You’ve got your Star Trek in my Star Wars.
South Park. I’m not surprised at all.
A Perfect World…I have not seen that. Oh SNAP! Look at that, it’s on Instant Watch. whoosh
When you’re brought before the panel and they ask, “Musical?” Just put your best Poker face on and say, “Hunt for Red October.” Don’t off any explanations. Just stare 'em down.
Thanks for the links. I didn’t know most of those.
My picks were films I’ve seen many times and will continue to see many times. Most of them I can quote verbatim.
I’m surprised there aren’t many folks that are fans of Westerns. The themes are very close to SF/Fantasy adventures.
Can you dig it?!?
The bromance that is Shaun of the Dead.
Drama - Fight Club. giggle
Folks have to help me out with Moulin Rouge. I dig Musicals but I just could not get into that film.
The Shining! I don’t know if I could watch that on a 10 year Space Voyage, over and over and over…'talos go cuckoo
I lurve Eternal Sunshine!
I am humming the Dirty Dozen theme right now.
We’ve both seen Princess and the Pauper so many times, what’s another 1000?
Airplane II - The Shat is back!
Of course! Yellow Submarine!!
Ned Ryerson! Bing!
true true, the western film is a great American art form in my humble opinion.
Ooh, ok I’ll do that. I wondered if Serenity could count for Western, thinking that maybe Firefly would more than Serenity. And yes, I totally forgot Brother’s Bloom, I may have to reconsider something else to leave behind, I do watch that over and over…
I think this one is one of those great movies that you just can’t watch over and over, but is definitely on the watch once a year to experience it over again.
Yes! Boondock Saints has been my favorite movie for years. And Nacho Libre is a sneaky favorite… I find that I end up talking like I belong in the movie after I watch it, which is always funny.
Same here! Also, I like that you had something to say back to everyone, this is a great thread.
Other thot: I wonder what it says about each person if you knew very little about them except this list of movies that they would watch over and over…
It’s kinda interesting. Frakkintalos and I are on record as massive Star Trek fans, yet neither of us squeezed in a single Star Trek movie.
For me, that’s probably cuz just a love of Star Trek doesn’t mean the movies are ones I …right now at this point in time… would take with me to watch over and over on a 10 year space flight.
Partly it’s because I’ve seen them (especially ST II and III) so many times, that I really don’t need to bring 'em with me. Also, the main goodness of Star Trek is its TV format.
(Geez Thot! does every conversation have to turn into a Star Trek conversation for you? :o 
)

If there is room (since none of the above are close to 4hrs long) I would throw in a couple more genres. If not, can I substitute for Western and Sports?
Crime - The Shawshank Redemption
Mystery - Seven
Action - Die Hard
Adventure - Back to the Future
Animation - South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut
Comedy - Clerks II
Drama - The Shawshank Redemption
Fantasy - The Dark Knight (I would prefer LotR, but I’m not taking one without the others)
Horror - Tremors
Musical - Can I have Dr. Horrible? It’s not technically a movie, but still.
Romance - Mallrats (I’m pushing it a little bit with this one)
Sci-Fi - Star Trek: First Contact
Sport - Cool Runnings
Thriller - Die Hard with a Vengeance
War - Full Metal Jacket (I only need the first half)
Western - Maverick
There are some of them that I’m using a loose definition of the genre. But I checked wikipedia and it does define Die Hard with a Vengeance as a thriller, Dark Knight as Fantasy and Tremors as a Horror. I would have liked to get the original Star Wars trilogy in there, I’m sure I could get them all in somewhere.
Fine, fine. (:
I envisioned several folks scratching their heads at many of my picks, so I put in the extra effort to make it easier. And hopefully someone else may find enjoyment in some of my choices. Unfortunately, titles like Kenshin and 0083 require watching the series than the stand alone movies to get the full enjoyment. Most of the others are pretty solid though, especially the Evangelion movies and Summer Wars (I cannot stress enough how much each of you should watch Summer Wars).
You know, if I were exposed to more top notch westerns I may be able to get into them more. But, many western seem formulaic to me.
My brother once said something that applies to me to a lesser extent. He said, “If a movie doesn’t have electricity in it, I can’t really get into it.” He prefers more modern stories than period pieces or westerns. I have no problems with animated period pieces, but I know what he means for live action.
Finally, someone picked Matrix. Surprised it took this long
Yeah, I had to drop a title or two to get the whole LotR trilogy. I can understand someone having trouble if they wanted to fit both Star Wars and LotR.
DHSAB is a perfectrly fine example of a musical in my book. I picked several direct to video anime.
