What's your favorite movie that you can watch over and over again with it losing the magic?I was discussing movies with a friend the other day and she asked me the following question: "What's your favorite movie . . . for example, if you were on a desert island with only one movie, what would you want it to be?" And I realized that that's two totally different questions, cause my favorite movie is not necessarily one that I can watch over and over.
I can't really pin down my favorite movie . . but for the sake of argument lets say it's Apocalypse Now (which I think is a great movie, de gustibus non est disputantum). It's a great movie, but I can only stand to watch it about once every three or four years. likewise with Godfather - great movie, but I can only stand to watch every couple of years.
On the other hand, I could probably watch Repo Man or the Blues Brothers once a week for the rest of my life.
Right now, I'd probably say that Repo Man is my favorite movie which I could see over and over and over without getting sick of it. I think it's a combination of excellent writing - where every single line is a joy to experience, and the relative lack of any slow or boring parts (long, drawn-out dramatic scenes just don't do it for me after the second viewing).
How about you? What's your favorite frequent-viewing movie?
