Some movies I love and...have seen to death. I don't plan on watching some for quite a while...unless I'm watching them with someone who hasn't seen them before.


The Crow
A Christmas Story
The Fifth Element
The Wedding Singer is getting there...


What's on your list?
 
I think time and repeat views show me that a movie I claim is my favorite really is one of my favorites. There are some movies that I never really can get sick of unless I am literally watching them everyday. That's my criteria for my "favorites."
 
I'm pretty resolute on not watching Pirates of the Carribean 1 or the Kill Bill movies again for at least another year or so.
 
The Rocky movies (well 1-4, 5 and 6 suck). I like the movies, but they're on TV way too much, especially around the holidays, I think from mid December through January last year I could find at least 1 Rocky movie on throughout the day.
 
I would say Session 9. I have watched the sh** out of that the last few months.
 
It took me years to watch the Rocky movies because they were always on (mainly Rocky 5) . I just never felt the need to watch them entirely. Then I saw Rocky Balboa and really enjoyed it so I went back and watched them all.


I'm burnt out on Fight Club , it's still one of my favorites but I've seen ti a ridiculous amount of times. I can only watch bits and pieces .
 
Scott Pilgrim will be one of them for me, very soon.
 
The harry potter films. They are always on tv and I watch them all the time, i'd say I've seen every one of them at least 5 times each years for the past 8 years or so. Of course it will continue for a bit longer since DH2 is still coming out. But I tell ya, by 2012 I want to take a few years break from the HP films...seen them TOOO much.

That's pretty much my criteria also.
 
Fight Club- I still and probably will always love it but I need a brake from it for awhile.

Taxi Driver

Iron Man

Same here.

I find that I lose intrest in tv shows more so than movies. Take Boardwal Empire, I was really likeing this show then I missed a week or two and lost all intrest in it.
 
Lord of the Rings. I almost regret I bought the extended versions. Movies far over 3 hours really feels long when you've seen them a few times, that's for sure.
 
The 89-95 Batman movies, in the period before 2000(the advent of X-Men and the next gen of sh movies), I watched those 3 movies way too many times, just overdosed on them as I did not have any other sh movies I loved watching apart from the first two Supermans(and I was sick of them having watched them far too many times b4 the BM movies).

The Star Wars prequels, I also od'd on the first two of these as I was such a SW nut as a child, and could not believe they had made new movies, so would just bang them on all the time to amaze myself they existed. I have been holding back on ROTS though, to make sure I have one SW movie i have not od'd on.
 
Aliens.
I think it's because I keep watching the special edition, of which maybe two of the restored scenes are worth keeping.
 
The Matrix, and it's sequels
X-Men, and it's sequels
 
I loved the first Shrek but how quickly EVERYONE loved it and quoted it an talked about it and with all the sequels, I can't stand it anymore.
 
Good subject for a thread.

As much as I love every single thing about The Bad Lieutenant - Port of Call: New Orleans by Werner Herzog; I probably should stop watching it for a year or so. I saw it five times already this year, and I don't want to destroy it like I did with Layer Cake for example.
 
For me it's Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Narnia, Kill Bill some of the Pixar Films, the Xmen and Spider-Man. It's mostly the movie shows repeatedly on TV/Cable/Satellite now a days.
 
E.T. - Played way too many times on TV, special editions and whatnot. Next time I'll watch it willingly is on Blu-ray probably
 
Probably The Shining. It is my favourite horror film but I am always showing people it, a film that used to genuinly terrify me and put me on edge throughout is losing its effect on me. I need a huge break from it and really enjoy it again in a couple of years.
