For years I never watched movies more than once. Doing so just didn’t appeal. Then I changed. Why? I have no idea. Maybe it has something to do with so few films, despite the overwhelming number of choices available, that are actually good?
At any rate, now I like to watch certain movies again and again. I know the dialogue, can quote the best lines, and revel in the most compelling scenes. I’m not talking about critically acclaimed films, just enjoyable ones. In no particular order here’s a short list of movies, at least from my point of view, which are worth watching again and again:
--Groundhog Day (1993).
--Quigley Down Under (1990).
--The Breakfast Club (1985).
--Apollo 13 (1995).
--Shall We Dance? (2004).
--A Christmas Carol (1984).
--Cast Away (2000).
--Crossfire Trail (2001).
--Tombstone (1993).
--Open Range (2003).
