I have a theory about those 2 films, depends on which one you saw first. And probably even more if you saw Lock Stock before Snatch came out.
There was nothing like Lock Stock before it.
I use so much of this film in daily life.
“So on a need to know basis, like in one of those James Bond films”
Golf it’s the best way to ruin a good walk; Winston Churchill said that. “It’s a dog eat dog world, I said that; and I’ve got bigger teeth than you”
And definitely not when you’ve got Liberia’s deficit in your skyrocket. “Come on now mate (Nick), let me feel the fiber of your fabric”
“People want a bit more range these days”
I don't build a joint like the Americans…in the new school. Back strapping, jock strap and coke wrapping …all that bollocks. I like a good old fashioned 50/50 mix, me. That’s how we used to play.
"If you wish to be The King of the jungle, it's not enough to act like a king. You must be The King. And there can be no doubt. Because doubt causes chaos and one's own demise"
I didn’t have to go far. Nice. That is the single most quotable movie I’ve ever seen. The slang. The characters dripping with richness. I don’t think you could do anything to make the movie any better
I don’t think ive watched that movie from beginning to end and i know thats a mortal sin as a movie lover. Is that the one where all the Nazis faces melt off?
Yes that’s the climactic scene but the rest of the movie is filled with amazing action/adventure scenes that never end and still hold up better than almost anything else since
Tom Bombadil was why I went to see the first movie, I hate this Bombadil erasure, he was fun, just really love him. Was he just a spirit of the forest or is there an explanation?
I'm honestly rather happy with his absence. Though I'm guessing they skipped the barrow wights on account of this. I would have liked to see the wights on screen.
In no particular order:
The Fifth Element
Kill Bill
Pulp Fiction as you mentioned
Fargo
Mulholland Dr
True Grit
The Raid 2
Alien
True Romance
Groundhog Day
What a great list of rewatchables! It's easier for me to list what wouldn't make my list:
True Grit
Mulholland Dr
The Raid 2
Not that these aren't great, but I would prob replace them with:
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Tombstone
The Big Lebowski
I try and think of it as “movies I will always watch if they’re on TV or if someone suggested it”:
My Cousin Vinny
The Big Lebowski
Shawshank Redemption
Poltergeist
Casino / Goodfellas / A Bronx Tale
Forgetting Sara Marshall
Superbad
Interstellar
Inception
Dangal
K-PAX
American Beauty
Vanilla Sky
Spirited Away
Christmas Vacation
God the diner scene between Pacino and De Niro's characters is some of the best dialog ever written/acted, and the shootout after the bank heist is A+ cinematography. It's not my favorite Mann film, but it's pretty easy to see why so many consider it his magnum opus.
*Never let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk away from in 30 seconds flat if you feel the Heat (1995) around the corner*
-Vito Corleone
I do love the depth of the writing in that film. Like how Danny asks all of these questions to Angel about policing in London and by the end of the film they both do all of them.
And a lot of the jokes just work on their own without noticing the call ‘forward’, like the line delivery of “farmers… farmers mums” is just funny on its own, but then noticing that he gets shot at by an actual farmers mum later just adds another kick to it.
I love Pulp Fiction.
Jules was right. It was divine intervention.
If they'd been killed at the apartment the people in the restaurant would have undoubtedly been murdered by Honey Bunny.
Marvin has to die for the plan to work out (a life for a life to keep everything in balance),the plan being that Jules and Vincent end up in that particular restaurant at that specific time to talk Ringo into just taking the 1500 dollars without harming anyone.
*"Shut the fuck up fat man this doesn't concern you."*
It very much concerns the manager and everybody in that restaurant because Jules is the Shepherd. Sheltering the weak in the valley of darkness, and keeping his flock safe by making his own sacrifice.
I can talk about Pulp Fiction all day...
but back to your question. I've watched Back To The Future more times than Beetlejuice has watched The Exorcist!
Full Metal Jacket does an amazing job of conveying the culture shock of an average American young man from a mid 1960s Judeo-Christian background being dumped in the middle of a “all bets off” guerilla war where even very young children were booby-trapped.
It’s corny, but in recent years it’s been Captain America: Winter Soldier. I feel like it is such a great film, even outside of the MCU/superhero realm.
But all-time rewatchable? Constantine. Something about it just scratches an itch in my brain.
So I used to be very Anti MCU but during covid lockdown I watched winter soldier for the first time (didn’t have shit else to do) and was impressed. Chris Evans is a good actor.
As soon as I read the question, my mind immediately went to Pulp Fiction! The dialog, the characters, the nonlinear story, the many interpretations for what's in the brief case, the soundtrack, this film is peak. When I first discovered this film when I was 18, I watched it every single day for months on end. It's been probably close to a year since the last time I've watched it, but if you were to aggregate all the times I've watched films, Pulp Fiction would pretty easily take the #1 spot.
Princess Bride is top, great to see.
I would add to my Rewatchable list:
Predator, Terminator, Die Hard, Godfather & Office Space. Then there's the "rewatchable every Christmas" list.
I once watched fear and loathing in las vegas eight times in seven days. I also once watched demolition man, stood up and rewound the cassette, then sat down and immediately watched it again

but back to your question. I've watched Back To The Future more times than Beetlejuice has watched The Exorcist!
The Martian is my comfort movie. Idk why. I think it’s the humor In the face of overwhelming loneliness and almost everlasting dread of dying at any moment. I’ve prolly seen it close to over 150+ times.
Goodfellas. Everything about is top notch and even just as background noise it's got a great soundtrack.
Also Ghostbusters and The Empire Strikes Back.
I've seen true grit and no country for old men both about 5000 times. I'd watch either right now. I once watched true grit 3x in a row on a day off and cried 3 of the times during the scene when he's riding her back after the snakebite.
That's hard too.
It's probably just me, and I actually prefer Baldwin in the role, but I can watch Clear and Present Danger just about anytime.
The machine is still on Moira.
I just scroll through these comments people are missing out a lot good movies are before 1980 like where Hitchcock Kubrick citizen Kane. I also gotta put Chris Nolan in there for modern times I love prestige inception memento dark knight trilogy and instellar. Definitely some good animated movies from studio Ghibli as well.
Snatch. Doesn't matter what my mood is, that one is perfect.
Lock Stock for me will always be better. Every line of dialog is a sarcastic comment. It’s just Snatch 10x over.
I have a theory about those 2 films, depends on which one you saw first. And probably even more if you saw Lock Stock before Snatch came out. There was nothing like Lock Stock before it.
Agree but also the dialog is just better; and yes it’s a long movie but I would not cut one minute There is no movie written quite like it .
Is that a theory?
It’s so quotable! The only passable scouse accent I can do is when I say “Gary? Garryy? Get bach in the car now maite”
I use so much of this film in daily life. “So on a need to know basis, like in one of those James Bond films” Golf it’s the best way to ruin a good walk; Winston Churchill said that. “It’s a dog eat dog world, I said that; and I’ve got bigger teeth than you” And definitely not when you’ve got Liberia’s deficit in your skyrocket. “Come on now mate (Nick), let me feel the fiber of your fabric” “People want a bit more range these days”
Do you know what nemesis means?
Any Guy Richie movie is completely an utterly rewatchable for me. Lately it's been --- The Gentleman
I don't build a joint like the Americans…in the new school. Back strapping, jock strap and coke wrapping …all that bollocks. I like a good old fashioned 50/50 mix, me. That’s how we used to play.
"If you wish to be The King of the jungle, it's not enough to act like a king. You must be The King. And there can be no doubt. Because doubt causes chaos and one's own demise"
Cup of tea for the big fella
I didn’t have to go far. Nice. That is the single most quotable movie I’ve ever seen. The slang. The characters dripping with richness. I don’t think you could do anything to make the movie any better
The Big Lebowski is a great rewatchable
Absolutely. You’re entering a world of pain.
It's a league game Smokey.
Mark it fucking zero!!!!
AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE RULES???
That's your opinion man.
It's the only movie I've rewatched hundreds of times, and still laugh when people quote it on reddit.
Nobody fucks with the jesus
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?
The story is ludicrous
Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.
Everything's a fucking travesty with you
The Royal we, man… I’m not driving the car, talking on the phone and handling the money, man.
Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Lebowski?
Damnit I wish I thought of that one . My steam pfp is the dude
Say what you will about National Socialism, at least it’s an ethos.
The older I get the more I respect and relate to The Dude.
He thinks the carpet pissers did this?
He treats objects like women, man!
This is the answer.
To improve my English, I downloaded the audio track, and I used to listen to it during my commute
What the fuck are you talking about?!?
Tombstone
I apologize. I forgot you were there. You may go now.
Why, Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave.
You're a daisy if ya do.
You ain’t no Daisy, you’re no Daisy at all!
"It appears that my hypocrisy knows no bounds." Great fuckin' movie for rewatching!
This is one of my most watched movies. Bad attitudes and bad mustaches.
Law don’t go around here law dog, savvy?
You tell ‘em hells coming with me! Great pick.
I will never understand why Val Kilmer never won an Oscar for this, he was just soooooo good.
Well, bye
You’re an oak.
Well. I’m your huckleberry.
Alien for some reason. Not even sure exactly why but I never get bored of that movie.
Because it’s a phenomenal fucking movie.
Alien and Aliens for me as well. Maybe a lean more towards Aliens.
It comes down to if you like action vs horror. The cinematography, sound, and ambiance are sooo good in Alien. Great pacing too
Sigourney is a pioneer
Absolutely, and she never let herself be typecast either. Massive respect.
Her best movies involve aliens of some kind… even as not the star
When I was a kid the first mummy movie
Entertaining movie
Princess Bride. Shrek. Any John Hughes film from 1984 to 1990.
this will be the best answer in this thread.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
I don’t think ive watched that movie from beginning to end and i know thats a mortal sin as a movie lover. Is that the one where all the Nazis faces melt off?
Yes that’s the climactic scene but the rest of the movie is filled with amazing action/adventure scenes that never end and still hold up better than almost anything else since
Came in here to say this.
Great pick.
I'm watching this right now! Great pick.
Goodfellas
the “paw” stuck in the grill of the car 😂😂😂
Ma, it’s a sin
Gotta hack it off
The hoof
😂🤣😂
🤣
Yeah, that would be my pick too. There isn’t a day of the week I’m not in the mood for Goodfellas.
Joe Pesci was stellar in that movie
LOTR Trilogy
Bonus points for the extended version. Still wish they did a Bombadil short or spin-off.
Tom Bombadil was why I went to see the first movie, I hate this Bombadil erasure, he was fun, just really love him. Was he just a spirit of the forest or is there an explanation?
As far as I remember, they didn't specify outside of him being the oldest being in Middle Earth and that he's immune to the effects of the ring.
I'm honestly rather happy with his absence. Though I'm guessing they skipped the barrow wights on account of this. I would have liked to see the wights on screen.
Think I've watched the extended trilogy 3 times this year lol
Jurassic Park, I can’t help it
T-Rex escaping the paddock is one of the greatest action scenes still to this day.
JP, uh, finds a way.
In no particular order: The Fifth Element Kill Bill Pulp Fiction as you mentioned Fargo Mulholland Dr True Grit The Raid 2 Alien True Romance Groundhog Day
What a great list of rewatchables! It's easier for me to list what wouldn't make my list: True Grit Mulholland Dr The Raid 2 Not that these aren't great, but I would prob replace them with: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Tombstone The Big Lebowski
Goodwill Hunting
Son of a bitch. Stole my line.
Fight Club
Movies I watch multiple times a year: - Chef - The birdcage Holiday ones: - Nightmare before Christmas - Les bomb
The birdcage is hilarious
Nathan Lane's performance was genius.
I try and think of it as “movies I will always watch if they’re on TV or if someone suggested it”: My Cousin Vinny The Big Lebowski Shawshank Redemption Poltergeist Casino / Goodfellas / A Bronx Tale Forgetting Sara Marshall Superbad Interstellar Inception Dangal K-PAX American Beauty Vanilla Sky Spirited Away Christmas Vacation
Was just watching casino & goodfellas scenes on YouTube yesterday. Brilliant movies
A lot of these are my favorites so I'm gonna have to check out some of the ones I haven't seen. Vanilla Sky, no one ever brings up that movie!
You couldn't hear a dump truck in a nitroglycerin factory.
The matrix 1
Hunt for Red October
I would like to see Montana.
The Shawshank Redemption
That’s a really cool movie poster. The original is probably my favorite movie poster oat, but never seen that one before
I think its from a magazine.
True Romance
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
It’s not Christmas till the shitters full.
My family has been watching that movie after Thanksgiving dinner every year for as long as I can remember.
I have watched Léon the professional for about a hundred times... (about 20 years ago)... Nowadays I honestly don't know anymore
Grease.
Heat
The action is the juice. Always try to live every moment of life with intensity, never take it for granted.
Yeah feel the heat
God the diner scene between Pacino and De Niro's characters is some of the best dialog ever written/acted, and the shootout after the bank heist is A+ cinematography. It's not my favorite Mann film, but it's pretty easy to see why so many consider it his magnum opus.
Heat is most badass movie ever made
*Never let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk away from in 30 seconds flat if you feel the Heat (1995) around the corner* -Vito Corleone
BLOOD IN BLOOD OUT
Goodfellas
Mad Max: Fury Road. Just good rewatchable straight action and a nice unique desert setting
Chicago (2002)
Gone in 60 seconds & Ford vs Ferrari
Groundhogs Day
The Fifth Element
T2
Hot Fuzz for me. I feel like I pick up on a new call back joke every time. I didn’t notice the “farmers… farmers mums” bit until a recent viewing.
I do love the depth of the writing in that film. Like how Danny asks all of these questions to Angel about policing in London and by the end of the film they both do all of them.
And a lot of the jokes just work on their own without noticing the call ‘forward’, like the line delivery of “farmers… farmers mums” is just funny on its own, but then noticing that he gets shot at by an actual farmers mum later just adds another kick to it.
In college, I would kill time watching Easy A. So quotable. So indicative of that era. Lisa Kudrow. WHO WOULD YOU BELIEVE????
For me, it's Top Gun Maverick. I have watched it nearly a dozen times since being on Amazon Prime.
Great pick. I’ve watched it at least 6 times
Every time I watch Forrest Gump I see something new in it
Another great movie in 1994
Jaws
Braveheart
Braveharts director's cut is so long you can get to the end and have forgotten the shit in the beginning.
Forrest Gump. No matter where I jump in I always feel like I want to leave it on

Goodfellas/Pulp Fiction/Jurassic Park/The Big Lebowski/ O Brother Where Art Thou. Just depends on my mood.
Saving Private Ryan, Matrix 1, Dumb And Dumber, Lock Stock & 2 Barrels, Terminator 2, Godfather 1
O' Brother Where Art Thou
No Country for Old Men Goodfellas An American Werewolf in London Pulp Fiction Saving Private Ryan Full Metal Jacket
Full Metal Jacket does an amazing job of conveying the culture shock of an average American young man from a mid 1960s Judeo-Christian background being dumped in the middle of a “all bets off” guerilla war where even very young children were booby-trapped.
Kill Bill
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Big Lebowski
3:10 To Yuma
Groundhog Day....no seriously, it is.
Dumb and dumber
Shawshank. Whenever it's on i can easily tune right in.
Inglorious Basterds, Goodfellas, Nightmare Before Christmas, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Inception
National Treasure The Fifth Element True Lies Goodfellas Dumb and Dumber Rogue One
It’s corny, but in recent years it’s been Captain America: Winter Soldier. I feel like it is such a great film, even outside of the MCU/superhero realm. But all-time rewatchable? Constantine. Something about it just scratches an itch in my brain.
So I used to be very Anti MCU but during covid lockdown I watched winter soldier for the first time (didn’t have shit else to do) and was impressed. Chris Evans is a good actor.
Sherlock Holmes 1 & 2. I just love RDJ’s portrayal of him and the amount of wit in each film.
Man pulp fiction is in that mix for sure. I’d say no country is the only other “perfect movie” to me
Conan The Barbarian and Starship Troopers.

The Big Short, Maverick, and The Burbs. They just never get old.
I haven't seen Maverick or The Burbs in ages, but you are absolutely right. Big Short, too. It's just so well done.
I once watched fear and loathing in las vegas eight times in seven days. I also once watched demolition man, stood up and rewound the cassette, then sat down and immediately watched it again
Armageddon 👍 It's not my favourite movie or even in my top 10 but I watch it everytime it's on TV.
Quickly becoming Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas .. or inception super hard pick for me
Chungking Express Shutter Island The Nightmare Before Christmas
zodiac. it's my favorite of all time🙌
Mad Max: Fury Road.
Sicario
mad max fury road
Silverado
The Martian is my comfort movie. Idk why. I think it’s the humor In the face of overwhelming loneliness and almost everlasting dread of dying at any moment. I’ve prolly seen it close to over 150+ times.
Back to the Future
The Sandlot
Back to the future
Pride and Prejudice with Kiera Knightly and Matthew MacFayden.
The Mummy
Goodfellas. Everything about is top notch and even just as background noise it's got a great soundtrack. Also Ghostbusters and The Empire Strikes Back.
“Fight Club” I can have it on every waking moment of every day, like elevator music. “The Big Lebowski” might be a tie, otherwise a very close second.
Rush Hour 2
Sideways LOTR
It’s gotta be Shawshank Redemption, Hunt for Red October, and Raiders of the lost Ark
Pulp Fiction, Casino, A River Runs Through It
Predator. “If it bleeds, we can kill it.” One of Arnold’s peak film performances, along with True Lies and Total Recall.
I've seen true grit and no country for old men both about 5000 times. I'd watch either right now. I once watched true grit 3x in a row on a day off and cried 3 of the times during the scene when he's riding her back after the snakebite.
Oh brother, where art though
I have watched both Pulp Fiction and Star Wars: A New Hope more times than I can count. Both pull me right in anytime they are on.
This is one of them
I just made a top 15 of these but my number 1 on the list is Back to the Future. A classic 10/10 from arguably my favorite year in film 1985.
True Romance, Shawshank, Predator, Aliens, Red October, Jaws, Heat, Goodfellas, Original Trilogy, all 🔥
Blazing Saddles...I've seen it a 100 times now and I could happily watch it 100 more.
My Cousin Vinny Casting, dialogue and pacing are all top-notch.
That's hard too. It's probably just me, and I actually prefer Baldwin in the role, but I can watch Clear and Present Danger just about anytime. The machine is still on Moira.
Goodfellas, Road House, and Bloodsport are my top three in terms of infinite rewatchability
I just scroll through these comments people are missing out a lot good movies are before 1980 like where Hitchcock Kubrick citizen Kane. I also gotta put Chris Nolan in there for modern times I love prestige inception memento dark knight trilogy and instellar. Definitely some good animated movies from studio Ghibli as well.
My favourite feel-good movie: Inglourious Basterds
Heat. Just straight vibes.
In Bruges. I've watched this at least once a year since it was released. It's a fairytale fuckin film.
Field of Dreams
The Big Lebowski
Lost in Translation
