John Wick (all three), Die Hard (I think all of them), Saving Private Ryan, and Shawshank Redemption. Funny, I have most of these on DVD, but I constantly watch them on public television when I come across them.

Cinderella Man and Hoosiers because they're not shown very often. Shawshank and Goodfellas are shown about 15X a week on various cable channels. No mas.

Rambo. Haha. Talladega nights. Step brothers. The shooter. Predator. Bourne. Wick. Anything with Arnold or Clint or Bruce Willis. The patriot. Brave heart. Princess bride. Anaconda? Who can’t watch that a gazillion times. Virtually any decent western. There’s too many to count!

I must be way older than most of y’all. I stop for The Quiet Man, Midway(the original), Hunt for Red October, Casablanca.
‘most of those seldom make it to cable, or even to Netflix, etc.

Favorite line from Bogie in Casablanca:

”I stick my neck out for nobody”.

What you're talking about is called a Rewatchable. There's a great podcast dedicated to the these type of movies.

Not sure what the definition of a Rewatchable is but I’m not talking about movies I can watch more than once. As Mrs Screw posted - I’m talking about a movie I stumble across and no matter what point the movie is at I start watching.

Good to know I'm not the only one who loved Arlington Road. That movie was heavy and haunting the 1st time I watched it.
