OVER & OVER & OVER? Mine is "The Godfather".
Comments
Mine is "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." It's my favorite western, and I must have watched it hundreds of times.
Open Range when it's shown 😊
"Never do wrong to make a friend----or to keep one".....Robert E. Lee
The Searchers
Gregory Peck's "The Big Country".
gunsmoke and netflix.
I canceled NETFLIX soon after they hired the Obama's, I ain't giving a dime to those Commies.
I seldom even turn my TV on these days but when I want to watch a movie the vast library of DVD's and Blue Ray movies on the shelves always gives me something to watch. My favorite movies are Shoot Em' Up with Clive Owen and True Lies with Arnold.
I do have Amazon Prime with free movies so I can always get something interesting to watch on rainy days.
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Lonesome Dove
Band of Brothers
Josey Wales
Ive seen them all at least 10 times.
Lonesome Dove. Don

Its hard for me to narrow it down . there is a lot of old westerns and old war movies even the old horror movies I have watched countless times . and will continue to watch . I would bet 98% were all made before 1970 or so
with the internet and so many options on watching old movies . now watch any one you want when you want and as many times as you want not like it use to be watching for a net work to play a old movie you want to see . and before the internet VHS and then DVD's took a huge chunk out of waiting for a favorite movie to be played .
A modern movie I used to own on VHS cassette was one starring Liam Neeson called "Gun Shy". It was a comedy flik that touched my funny bone quite well. Oliver Platt playing a gangster wanting to retire to Italy and raise his own tomato plants!
I must have watched it so many times the tape gave out some years ago and I would sure like to get a disc copy to watch again!
My main interest in movies has always been in the golden age of Hollywood with stars like Gary Cooper, Gregory Peck, Ronald Coleman, Greer Garson, and so many other late greats.

Longmire, great tv series
+1 on Longmire, but I mainly stick to TCM and the old movies........
too many to list, westerns with the Duke or Clint, Sci-Fi, historical dramas the list goes on and on...
I watch too much tv, a couple I never miss are Jeremiah Johnson, and Rudy.
When I cut the cable several years ago, I lost TCM. I miss it a lot for all the old movies. Ended up buying the oldies in DVD or Blue Ray on the internet just to get up a good collection going.
The Outlaw Josey Wales.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Saving Private Ryan
Defiance (the one with Daniel Craig).
Watch a few news talk shows, primarily Kennedy and Gutfeld.
Hero Ships is a good series and there are a few more that pop up every now and then on Smithsonian Channel, Discovery Channel, Science Channel and The History Channel.

No TV, no Netflix, etc. Just DVD movies borrowed from free at the library.
Someone mentioned Deliverance. I was 12 years old when the film was released and my mother wasn't about to take me to see an R rated movie! Years later, I watched the edited version on TV, and I wasn't impressed. I now own a quality HD TV with a decent surround sound system. When I bought Deliverance on the Blu-ray and watched it, it was a completely different experience. It was the same with Lawrence Of Arabia, The Bridge On the River Kuai, and several other movies which I had watched on broadcast TV many times, but could not appreciate in the broadcast format. The difference was like night and day.
without a doubt, 12 O'CLOCK HIGH, i feel G Peck's greatest role, and Dean Jagger a close second
I saw Deliverance the first time it was shown. This was at the Atlanta Film Festival in 1972 at the Memorial Arts Center at Peachtree and 15th.
It was quite unusual in that year for a movie to be filmed in Georgia. I remember Governor Carter got on stage and criticized the film as he said it made the mountain folk of North Georgia look bad.
It certainly was shocking to see that movie. Six months earlier, four of my buddies and I had rafted the Chattooga River on a three day trip. We had heard that a hollywood movie had been filmed on that river but not released yet.
We did run some rapids but we were not accosted by any hillbillies with a 12-gauge.
