My most re-watchable films
By an Amazon.com customer
Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Theatrical Edition)Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Theatrical Edition)
Buy used from: $79.99
Ultimately, the most re-watchable films ever. Each movie in the trilogy is brilliance that has never been equalled. Completely changed the way films were made and science fiction was viewed.
The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert (Extra Frills Edition)The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert (Extra Frills Edition)
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $8.22
A completely different take on the guys-road-trip film. Great characters, amazing costuming, fun music, playful script, and a ton of laughs. Mixes the romance, adventure, drama, comedy, and musical genres in perfect quantities. One of the best films of 90s.
Alien (The Director's Cut)Alien (The Director's Cut)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.99
It's perfect scifi; it's perfect thriller. It does both using a brilliant script, great acting, and one of the greatest female characters in cinematic history. Every time that you see Alien, it's as suspenseful as the first time it terrified you.
Almost Famous [Extended Edition] [Blu-ray][Region Free]Almost Famous [Extended Edition] [Blu-ray][Region Free]
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $14.94
Perhaps my favourite drama of all time. Patrick Fugit gives one of the finest, most memorable performances ever that makes us reminisce about our own childhoods in a deeply sentimental and thoughtful way. Charming and touching. The extended (aka: "Untitled") edition adds power to the original. A must-watch for everyone.
Army of Darkness (Screwhead Edition) [Blu-ray]Army of Darkness (Screwhead Edition) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $9.71
It's camp, it's silly, it's got Bruce Campbell. I started watching this as a kid and it regularly gets plugged into the DVD-player to this day. Pure fun. After a hard day, "Army of Darkness" always hits the spot.
Back to the Future: The Complete Trilogy (Widescreen Edition)Back to the Future: The Complete Trilogy (Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $11.01
Marty, Doc, and that tripped-out DeLorean make for a great deal of fun and adventure. There are SO many little intricacies in these films that you pick out something new every time you watch it (such as the "Twin Pines Mall" becoming the "Lone Pine Mall" after Marty runs over a pine tree in the past). Watching one just makes me want to see another one again.
Battlestar Galactica - The Feature Film (Widescreen Edition)Battlestar Galactica - The Feature Film (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.84
Shut up... it's always excited me! The best looking cinema-spaceship ever. So many childhood memories started with this.
Blade Runner the F [Blu-ray]Blade Runner the F [Blu-ray]
Buy used from: $26.57
One of the most influential scifi films of all time. There have been several versions of this movie, each one better than the previous. "The Final Cut" on blu-ray is one of the most beautiful films to look at that you'll ever find. For the visuals alone, it's a great re-watcher. For the joy of plugging your brain into it, it's one of the great pieces of film ever.
NEW C.r.a.z.y. - C.r.a.z.y. (blu-ray) (Blu-ray)NEW C.r.a.z.y. - C.r.a.z.y. (blu-ray) (Blu-ray)
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $45.83
The greatest Canadian film ever made. It's a poignant and true examination of family and the decisions we make to balance our families emotions and expectations. Touching, meaningful, and kind.
Chess in ConcertChess in Concert
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.88
Musicals are always more re-watchable than any other genre and "Chess" hits every note perfectly. Over the years, the play has changed significantly. By the time it was captured for this DVD, all the bugs had been worked out. The actors and their voices are perfect and the cinematography is lovely.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe [Blu-ray]The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $24.93 / Used from: $8.69
From my most beloved series of books as a child comes the absolutely perfect screen adaptation. This one gets viewed every few months or so and my affection for it only grows. "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" is a masterpiece and one of the best adaptations ever. The heroism of the climax of the movie gives me butterflies in my chest each and every time.

Almost every critic on Earth disagrees with me about this movie, but I think it's hilarious. One of the best casts ever assembled blends perfectly into the comedy-mystery. I can't even count the number of times that I've watched it and think everyone should follow suit!
The Dark Crystal [Blu-ray]The Dark Crystal [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $7.75
Oh those crazy Skeksis! One of my most nostalgic indulgences. Jim Henson changed cinema with his puppets and this film perhaps better than any other shows their potential to draw us in and move us.
Jet Li's Fearless [Blu-ray]Jet Li's Fearless [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.14
The ultimate martial arts film. Billed as Jet Li's final wushu-film ever, it delivers on every note. The fighting scenes are the best ever filmed, Li is wonderful and touching, the cinematography is breath-taking, and the story is heart-felt. I've worn out DVD players with this one.
Fierce CreaturesFierce Creatures
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $6.42
When they shoot old-man-McCain in the head, the single funniest scene in any movie ever begins. I nearly pee myself every viewing. Great cast, great script, great comedy. John Cleese is the funniest man to ever act and it's easy to see why here.
Finding Nemo (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)Finding Nemo (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $9.75
Maybe the greatest animated film ever. Ellen Degeneres is positively brilliant and (along with the seagulls) completely makes this film.
Galaxy Quest [Blu-ray]Galaxy Quest [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $10.96
Although it's a spoof of Star Trek, it's actually better than most of Star Trek! Tim Allen doesn't have many good movies, but this one's great. Super funny with a super pace. This is a film that everyone can enjoy.
Ghostbusters [Blu-ray]Ghostbusters [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.85
Who you gonna call? One of the best ensembles ever. Nuff said.
The GooniesThe Goonies

Oh childhood, how I loved you!
The Karate Kid I & II (Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]The Karate Kid I & II (Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $15.25
The movie that made us all believe we could beat the bully. Can't count how many times I've watched it and I have no plans to stop.
The Last Emperor (The Criterion Collection)The Last Emperor (The Criterion Collection)
Buy new: $37.43 / Used from: $23.99
One of the most visually beautiful character pieces ever made. Such a lovely and sad story that makes you sorrowful and hopeful at the same time. It deserved all of its Oscar wins and it deserves to be watched over and over again. Make sure you buy a version with the extended cut!
Longtime CompanionLongtime Companion
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $8.96
This landmark film to tackle the issue of AIDS remains one of the most touching and haunting examinations of fear, friendship, and love ever committed to film. The final scene chills you to the core and inspires reflection on everything that you hold dear to you.
Lords of Dogtown (Unrated Extended Cut)Lords of Dogtown (Unrated Extended Cut)
Buy new: $9.23 / Used from: $1.57
Although it's outwardly a film about skateboarding, it's inwardly an examination of youth - and a very good one. Well-cast and wonderfully told story that stands up to repeated viewings exceptionally well.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Extraordinarily Deluxe Three-Disc Edition)Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Extraordinarily Deluxe Three-Disc Edition)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $2.94
Probably the funniest movie ever.
NewcastleNewcastle
Buy new: $19.69 / Used from: $12.19
I don't think there's many things as visually beautiful as surfing and Newcastle films it with more astounding visuals than any other film in history. I keep watching it and watching it and watching it just because of how jaw-droppingly gorgeous it is.
Peter Pan (Widescreen Edition)Peter Pan (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.10
Widely overlooked and under-appreciated, this version of Peter Pan is the ultimate one. The sense of wonder it creates is spellbinding. The colour-laden visuals are breath-taking. The cast is perfect. The adaptation is faithful. Fun for kids and adults who remember being kids alike. One of my most regular re-watchers.

I want my grandpa to read me these kinds of stories! Everyone loves it; everyone watches it over and over. There's a reason for this ;-)

One of the great musicals of all-time gets a wonderful cinematic recording. Crank up the volume and start singing!

Sly's greatest movie ever and the best sports movie ever made. Gripping, gritty, and great.
Rocky Balboa [Blu-ray]Rocky Balboa [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $11.92 / Used from: $3.00
By the sixth movie in a series, you'd be expecting things to be pretty stale. Stallone makes you believe otherwise with this wonderful and touching tale that probably strikes a chord with everyone who's ever looked back on their lives and wanted to do some part of it again.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (25th Anniversary Edition)The Rocky Horror Picture Show (25th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $8.98
Yet another wonderful musical. The ultimate cult hit, Rocky is like cinematic cocaine... try it once with an open mind and you're hooked forever!

Any number of highlights with these. TMP is bad Star Trek, but great scifi. TWOK is a great film. TVH was the apex of Trek. TFF was a wonderful goodbye. I watch them constantly - you know you do too!
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Skynet Edition) [Blu-ray]Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Skynet Edition) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $5.49 / Used from: $4.94
Best action film ever. Arnold = supreme, Linda = scary-in-a-good-way, Edward = cutey-pie! What isn't to love about T2?
They LiveThey Live
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $6.45
It's camp, it's silly, and it's got Rowdy Roddy Piper! The social commentary is actually pretty clever. This movie is so 80s you want to put leg-warmers on. But it's also great fun to watch over and over again.

Wow... Pixar knows how to do animation. Beautiful and heart-breaking. One could never get tired of this.
