[...] You don’t see westerns too often these days. The last good western I saw was Tombstone, and each time I re-watch it on TV (pretty much once a week), I realize how fast it’s climbing up the ranks of my favorite re-watchable films of all time. [...]

Agreed. I’ve seen it probably 20 times, so that puts it on the list right there.

Well, I know it borders on the long side, but Forrest Gump is pretty rewatchable for me. There’s tons of great lines, it’s funny, it’s dramatic; I could watch that one time and again and still enjoy it.

He got a daddy named Forrest too?

Dumb & Dumber is definitely in the top 10. I’ll add it to my honorable mention list.

Austria! Well, then. G’day mate! Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!

Shawshank Redemption would be in my top 10 favorite movies of all time for sure.

That’s all I could come up with.

This line almost made me put the Jerk in my top 5:

I know we’ve only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days. And the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day, and then you came back and later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it.

Good suggestions Jonathan. I think Princess Bride would be in the top 10 if I expanded it, as would the Jerk. Last of the Mohicans I’ve only seen once and I believe it’s a little too epic/long/emotional of a movie to be in a “most re-watchable” list. Maybe a “favorite movies” list…

Jurassic Park is up there too. It’s more like this:
