      There are many movies I love particularly animation bags. So I can watch them many times and still love them like Beauty and the Beast and Up. Also, I loved Sound of Music too and all the songs in them

   Agree with all of those - except I haven't watched both Memoirs of a Geisha and Pride & Prejudice, so I guess I'm missing out.
   
   I'd add Gladiator in there, The Dark Knight, Watchmen... I'm forgetting a few but I'll get back to you.

    Everybody has mentioned the names of a lot of great films, but how many can you REALLY watch over and over? I don't believe there can be that many that folk want to repeat watch, although there are ones worth going back to.
    I've seen UP - great film, I will watch it again. Memories of a Geisha? Great film, but the book was better IMO.
    Kick Ass, still to see it, but got it on my laptop.
    There's been loads of great movies, but how many can you watch 1,000 times? I tried my best with the Harry Potter films. Managed to see several of them maybe 6 times, then got fed up.
    Watched Avatar 3 times.
    Finding Nemo? About 20 times then I got fed up with it. Boy in Striped Pyjamas? Twice so far, but I'll watch it again.
    Why not just ask which films are worth watching more than once? lol

                            Depends which rules you break.... the offending bits could be chopped off..
                            
                            Adultery still has a death penalty associated with it...
                            
                            Best not to get caught doing anything, or being in a position that you can be accused of doing something as proof is not necessarily required from what I have seen..
                            
                            I have known people here who claim that they have been raped and robbed by the police here ....
                            
                            Wages for women are not an issue here, few work! In the company that I work in the women are actually paid the same as the men, but our company is not a pure saudi company...
                            
                            However the wage scale has more to do with nationality than sex, saudis get good wages (and do no work), then westerners and other arabs get reasonable wages, professional Pakistanis then make "ok" money, moving down through Filipinos, Indians, Indonesians, to Bangladeshis who may only earn $150 per month....

                               Yes, it certainly sounds as though it's best not to get caught doing anything...YIKES. No one wants bits chopped off, offending or otherwise, but I bet it saves them tons of money on imprisonment!

    Here's a few that haven't been mentioned that are definitely AWESOME:
    
    Pursuit of Happiness
    Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
    Snatch
    Knocked Up
    Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas
    
    And I second Legends of the Fall, Shawshank Redemption, and Braveheart for sure.
