I have a similar relationship with "Dancer in the Dark" whenever I get around to it. I always cry...

i just read the plot. this reminds me of how we get our other senses boosted if we shut off our dominant sense(mostly eyesight).

Ben-Hur. Loved it in my youth, when TV still aired this kind of movies regularly, and I absolutely love it and like to review it from time to time. There are others I've watched again lots if times (Star Wars, The Matrix...) but Ben-Hur is number one.

The Martian.

It's my go-to when I just want something to watch.

I have played Wonka multiple times a day, every day at my house since it released for streaming.

Honestly, it's probably Little Nicky for me. I do enjoy the movie myself, but back in my highschool days my main group of friends I would hang out and smoke weed with could always agree on this movie. If anyone would complain about what someone else wanted to watch too much, or none of us had a good idea for anything else, we would usually just throw Little Nicky on and be happy enough. I'll still watch every now and then even though I could recite the thing by rote.

I can't say if RoboCop, Terminator, Blade Runner or El mundo es nuestro (I've never seen my parents laugh so hard).

I'm afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:

2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Miller's Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard's seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
From Russia With Love.
The Spy Who Loved Me.

I’m not the kind of person who rewatches or rereads stuff. The only thing that I can rewatch endlessly is Pacific Rim. That movie is perfection for me. I even went to watch it on IMAX 3 times.

Transformers The Movie (1986). I still get teary eyed when Optimus Prime dies.

There's a dumb Italian Horror movie called Del Amore d'ella Muerte (Cemetary Man in English speaking territories) that I absolutely love. It was made in the 90s and stars Rupert Everrit as a graveyard keeper who fights a zombie invasion with his mute assistant.

Hard to explain but the universe they create is very comfy where he's drinking red wine and shooting zombies.
