What Movie Do You COMPULSIVELY Watch On The Tube Over and Over and Over Again?
Self | August 25, 2006 | PJ-Comix

What movie do you COMPULSIVELY watch over and over again? I am asking that because for the past couple of months I have been compulsively watched Cinderella Man every time I can catch it on cable. So far I must have seen it about 30 times but who's keeping count? For some strange reason, I find myself drawn to this movie. I can't really explain it. My favorite scene is when James Braddock was fighting Corn Griffin but will watch the movie in its entirety or what ever part is left when I check the tube.

It's gotten so bad that I now have the Cinderella Man book which I am now reading. Also, I find myself watching boxing events on the tube which I rarely did before.

So what movie (if any) do YOU compulsively watch over and over and over again?

Howards End, set in England.

Anthony Hopkins and others. Fabulous movie.

The Quiet Man is probably one of his best non westerns, of course O'Hara helped make it great.

Down Periscope is one of those movies that I have watched so many times I can almost recite, word for word, the script and yet, ever time I watch it I laugh so hard that I have tears in my eyes. (E.g. 100 feet below the surface with no ventilation and the cook decides to “cut the cheese” absolutely hilarious … laughing about it now!).

If I could watch movies more, I would watch No Time for Sargeants with Andy Griffith.

I have watched Hoosiers over and over and over. LOVE that movie.

Also West Side Story.

Do they ever have Kubricks 2001: A Space Oddyssey on tv? I would watch that time after time, just like I did in the theater.

My taste is pretty eclectic and fairly old fashioned.

I despise Horror films.

The saddest part about that movie is the three original male characters, Meredith, Matthau and then Lemmon, all died within a couple of years of the making of the movie. Walter Matthau was a one of a kind, no doubt about it.
