* Four Weddings & a Funeral

* Being There

* The Party

* A Fish Called Wanda

* Stand By Me

Another couple of old favourites are American Werewolf in London and Escape from New York... Alas, I haven't seen a Jimmy Stewart movie for yonks...

Yep nemesis, I'd say I've watched these a few times too.

* Four Weddings & a Funeral

* Being There

* The Party

* To Sir With Love (for the theme tune if nothing else)

Being There is a weird movie - you can't figure out if he's a few sheep short of a paddock or a divine being . . .until the end that is.

Oh and can I add Casablanca, which was meant to be just a B movie when it was made, and the Maltese Falcon.

Mine too...but from 'Walkabout', not Werewolf..

And I just watched the 'new' Star Trek movie this morning (for about the 5th or 6th time)....

I'm also looking for 'A Boy and His Dog' with Don Johnson (1975), one of the weirdest Sci-Fi's I've ever seen...

Well for repeat viewing, I have to say, it is a toss up between Goodfellas, and Master and Commander, for me, I would have watched each of those at least a dozen times, and was a little disappointed that the new Peter Weir film "the Way Back", was not based on a more "actiony" (hey a new word) true story, walk to India, really hard, blah dee bloody blah, nothing like cannons and roaring seas, oh well.

If you want to almost wet yourself laughing though, then go and see Hall Pass, crude as buggery, but funny as hell.
