Movies you could see a million times and never get sick of

1. Donnie Darko
2. Rushmore
3. Paper Moon
4. Meet Me in St. Louis
5. O Brother Where Art Thou


Just off the top of my head.

Most Jimmy Stewart, Danny Kaye, John Carpenter, Dario Argento and Werner Herzog movies would also be on the list, among others.

What would you guys choose?

generally just comedies for me - Office Space, Fletch, Airplane, Top Secret.

almost everything else I can't watch more than once unless there's been a long time between viewings.

Not the last time I looked.

I have a hard enough time sitting for an hour and a half and not do anything. I really don't watch much TV except sports or news, and I much more enjoy laying on the computer.

There are movies I like and have enjoyed,but none really that I would want to sit through more than twice.

(I'm wierd, I know)
