Films You Watched Again and again Over the Years (10 times or more)

Quote from badger

Another Cahill fan, awesome.

Since we have several young'ens, we purchased the whole set of Shirley Temple colorized movies on VHS tapes (roughly 18 ) close to twenty years ago. All have been watched at least 10 times, some many more. Some have been upgraded to DVD. I highly recommend them, whether you have young'ens or not.

Speaking of Miss Temple, I thought she was just precious in Wagon Wheels with Randolph Scott.

Well as Vera Cruz was on TCM this evening, you can chalk that one up as another I will watch time and time again. Gary Cooper, Burt Lancaster, Ernest Borgnine, Cesar Romero, Denise Darcell, Charles Bronson and Jack Elam were all great in it.

For some reason apart fron Duke's films,
I could watch Tombstone countless times

Ringo, I watched Vera Cruz last night myself. Someone once called it video redundancy. You own the movie, can watch it anytime, but get suckered in to watching it on broadcast TV, even if it's inconvenient.
Anyway, Vera Cruz is one of my top repeats for the same reasons you cite.
Not counting Wayne movies, because I always watch them countless times:
Rio Conchos
Duel at Diablo
Lawrence of Arabia
Spartacus
Jeremiah Johnson
The Great Escape
Inherit the Wind
Moby Dick
We Were Soldiers
The Patriot
Saving Private Ryan
The Longest Day

And, of course:
The Magnificent Seven

We deal in lead, friend.

A few on your list are some of my favorites also, gorch. I Love Jeremiah Johnson and was tickled silly the day I found it on DVD. Same with The Patriot.

I have never seen Spartacus, but I know they have it on hulu.com to watch for free. I'll have to check it out.

Lt. B, you really had us going, because we thought there was a Shirley Temple movie we hadn't seen, and with Randolph Scott, to boot! But alas, t'was not to be . . . I think the adorable young thing in Wagon Wheels must have been Anne Sheridan, because Shirley wasn't listed in the cast (at least not on IMDb). She was with Randolph Scott in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and Susannah of the Mounties.

Now to get back on topic . . . some movies that I could watch over and over and over again . . . and have (!) . . .

Return to Me
While You Were Sleeping
The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer
It Takes Two
The Parent Trap (1996, especially)
Ever After
The Sons of Katie Elder
Tall in the Saddle

Hi Gorch, same here. In fact, that was the first Gary Cooper movie I ever got to see. Its one of my top favorites with him in it and very close to Sergeant York and also Beau Geste.

Some fo the others you list are also favorites of mine such as: Spartacus. I can't believe that I STILL have yet to get it on DvD.

This is a tough topic. I have close to 500 movies in my collection. I would have to say I re-watch 70-80% of them on a regular basis. It's takes along time but I get around to them eventually. The others are one's that I remembered as being good but watching them again, they were not so good.

Yeah, I remember my reaction after re-watching Clint's three spaghetti westerns and the first 3-4 James Bond movies after twenty-five years.

My bubble was popped.

See now I have the direct opposite on Clint's spaghetti westerns. I really didn't remember much of them growing up except that they would be on TV on Sunday nights once in awhile. But I bought the new versions that have better pictures, more documentaries, ect.... I really liked them. In fact I really like "Once Upon a Time if the West". I thought that was great with Bronson, Cardinale, Fonda.....I re-watch that one all the time.

Hi todd, same with me on my colection. I have so many that it takes forever to get around to themagain, and sometimes I watch a few dozen of the others more than just once or twice before getting to some of the others. Then add in Netflix ;-))

And for that I apologize, but I was going off faulty information listed on the back of one of the boxes for Wagon Wheels and the girl looked a lot like miss Temple to boot and I failed to further investigate.

Lt. B,

All is forgiven! How strange that the info on the box is incorrect! Why would you even think to 'investigate' further? I would have done the same as you . . . believed the box .

Either way, Shirley Temple or Anne Sheridan, it sounds like it was a good movie, that you enjoyed! We'll have to check it out sometime!

Mrs. C

Next to most of the John Wayne Movies:
Arsenic and Old Laces
Some Like it Hot
The Great Escape
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Some of the Star Trek Movies
The 5th Element
Witness for the Prosecution
12 Angry Men
It's a mad mad mad mad world
...... :smile:

Quote from BigAbwana

HMMMM... Rio Bravo, El Dorado, Hondo, The Searchers, Hatari, The Cowboy Way, Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man, Heartbreak Ridge.

Does anyone know anything about the statue of Duke in the bar scene of Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, where Don Johnson walks in and salutes Duke. I have been asked about this.

Bob

Tough topic here. I have seen so many movies over 10 times, it's not funny. I can say that most Duke movies have been viewed by me over 10 times. I also have seen many classics the same way. If you ask me what I watched the most, it might be The Wizard of Oz. But to be truthful, I have no idea. I just don't keep up with that statistic.

The most Duke movies viewed is probably is McLintock!
