What movies have you seen so many times you are sick of it and don't want to see it for a couple of years or movies that you love and watch all the time?
One for me is definitely Shooter. Good movie, but I've seen it probably 10 or so times in the year it came out. I fall asleep every time its on. Star Wars too. I haven't seen them for a while so it isn't as bad. When i was younger, when it was lunch I would put one of the original in and watch it while I ate. I don't even know how may times I've seen the original three movies.

If I've seen a movie more than two times then I could watch it a million more without getting sick of it! Now if you ask me what movies I could watch again and again and again... that would be some list.

Pride and Prejudice, the new one with Kiera Knightly, is a guilty pleasure for me.
If I see it on any given channel, I HAVE to stop and watch it and usually get sucked in for awhile.
There are many memorable parts, but the scene where Mr. Darcy finds Lizzie upset, sopping wet taking shelter from the rain -- when he briefly stutters as he professes his deepest affection for her -- and she rebuffs him, only to later discover the truth in his character and be filled with regret and longing...
well, I swoon at such storylines.

The Count of Monte Cristo. Seen it too many times. It was like, every time we had some people over, it's what we ended up watching, every weekend, for months.

I'll second 'The Count of Monte Cristo' with Jim Caviezel. Excellent movie. The superb cinematography is second only to the intriguing story line and outstanding acting.
Top of my list: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi. I have probably seen those 100 times each. And that was before my son started watching them ;)
Runners up:
The Incredibles
Monsters Inc.
Lord of the Rings (all three)
Iron Man (now that it is on DVD, I have seen it several times and enjoy it every time)
Reign of Fire
The Matrix
Aeon Flux
Lots of others, but there are a few that never get old. I do have to say, however, that I don't watch much outside of Discovery channel anymore when I have time.

Me too! That is my favorite movie of ALL TIME!!!! It is just so sweet!! I have also watched "A
Walk To Remember" more times than I can count, love that movie! My guilty pleasure would
just have to pretty much be any clean, romantic comedy, I really enjoyed "Another Cinderella
Story" even though it is geared towards a younger audience! I am just a hopeless romantic!

LOL. I've seen this version a good 20 times, but I'm not sure if I've ever watched the unedited one. That's funny.

LOTR, Star Wars I can watch over and over but with time in between.
However when I come home from work (around midnight) I hate when Dirty Dozen or The Great Escape is on because I end up watching it instead of going to bed. And when ever Chaplin (R.Downey jr) is on I watch that. And the original BatMan movie (Adam West)
And one movie that has surpassed the original Star Wars, and Adam West Batman and I can not get enough of it is Across the Universe

I saw "A Walk to Remember" for the first time last month and it was a very very sweet movie. I wouldn't mind seeing it again. It's a Nicholas Sparks adaptation from one of his books.
Tell me you've seen "The Notebook." It's a NS adaptation, too.

There are several on my list as well that I just don't get tired of. My 7 year old daughter has gotten into Star Wars the past couple of years, so now, she and I watch it together whenever it is on. Remember the Titans is up on the list too.
The two movies that I watch whenever they are on regardless of what else I am watching or doing are Magnificient Seven and Kelly's Heroes.

I've seen it, but I liked "A Walk To Remember" much better though, there were some parts
of "Notebook" I could have done without...

I love Clint Eastwood but I've seen The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly way too often. Basically all the spaghetti westerns he did - I've seen toooo! much.
