   As a movie buff, there are actually too many to name.  One in particular that comes to mind is National Treasure.  I don't even think it's that great of a movie, but I love history and it's always on. I always find myself watching it.

   I don't always make a conscious effort to re-watch movies, but sometimes a film comes on television and I'll just drop everything and watch it.  They're not even necessarily my favorite movies!  I just can never not watch them when they're on.  Among these are "The Great Escape" and "A Few Good Men".

   I can think of several - and I never seem to tire of them.  Star Trek TNG First Contact, Independence Day, and Jurassic Park.  And one last one that is totally different from the above:  Pillow Talk with Rock Hudson and Doris Day.  I love those movies.
   
   I can't really explain except that in those movies for me, the action and the plot never stalls.  Some movies have slow points or parts you have to wade through.  For me these movies keep moving so I never get bored.

    Three movies that immediately come to mind are David Lynch's 'Mulholland Drive', Roman Polanksi's 'Chinatown' and, uhm....well....'Die Hard'.
    
    Lynch is my favorite director, and Mulholland Drive' for me is his best work in terms of completeness. I can watch it for its beautifully complex story, but just as easily for the mesmerizing cinematography and music.
    
    'Chinatown' has a very addictive effect on me, I could literally watch it every other day without ever getting sick of it. The crafty storytelling, the 1930s West Coast decor, Jack Nicholson; it just...fits.
    
    And yeah, 'Die Hard' is just one of those trend setting genre classics. No-nonsense, explosions, Rickman, Willis, cheesy humor and even cheesier German, Christmas in L.A. What's not to love.

I also love science fiction films like Star Wars, Alien, Blade Runner, Forbidden Planet, The Matrix, The Planet of the Apes (1968), The Empire Strikes Back, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and action films like Goldfinger, Enter the Dragon, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    It's sad in parts, and hilarious in others (even having seen it so many times I still want to laugh out loud).  It is a very family oriented film but also has a political theme running through it.  There are both tender moments and action scenes.  I fail to see how anyone could not like this film - there is something for everyone.  Do see it if you haven't already.

    I love movies, and I'll re-watch many a movie depending upon my mood.
    
    The one movie I've seen more than any other is "Das Boot" -- about a German U-boat during WW 2. I've seen the English dubbed version, the German with English subtitles and the 6-hour miniseries for German television. Perhaps I've seen it a dozen times or more. Rich with character, feeling and evocative scenes. It has a way of taking even the subject of boredom and making it interesting.
    
    After that, I love Casablanca, Star Wars, Star Trek - First Contact, What Dreams May Come, and many others.
    
    Plus, I love a few documentaries, too, like "Inside Job" (about the 2008 financial crash), and one that I saw for the first time yesterday, I've already seen twice called, "Thrive," available on YouTube,
