Movies I can watch over and over and over again

It never fails...there are some movies that I come across while flicking the stations...that I can't help but stop to watch...
some examples..

1) Breakfast Club- Can't help it, have to watch it.
2) Pretty in Pink- Ditto
3) Sixteen Candles- Longdukdong, Anthony Michael Hall, Joan Cusack trying to dance in a neck brace...
4) Rambo-the original. I can't help but watch it.
5) The Great Escape-Steve Mcqueen goes into solitary playing off the wall catch..
6) Fast Times at Ridgemont High..Mr. Spicolli, thank you for the pizza
7) Dazed and Confused...I just watched this last night, which made me create this thread. I LOVE this movie, and I don't know why..maybe it's the time it's set in, maybe the soundtrack..
8) Princess Bride
9) A Christmas Story...yes, I'll watch it several times on christmas day, when they play it for 24 hours straight. Try it. I double dog dare you
10) Field of Dreams--something about the line "is this heaven, no it's Iowa" just get's to me
11) Deerhunter-Bobby D, Christopher Walken...Meryl Streep...
12) Casino/Goodfellows-similar casts, great scripts
13) Godfather 1 and 2..Pacino Pacino Pacino
14) Serpico..Pacino, Pacino Pacino
15) Saturday Night Fever/Officer and a Gentleman/Urban Cowboy..probably cause I saw them when I was younger. Plus, Debra Winger is a friend of mine
16) Big-something about tom hanks acting in this one
17) same for sleepless in seattle-plus it has a great get laid to soundtrack.
18) when harry met sally..see 17
19) Analyze this-Bobby D and Billy were great together. "How do you feel?" "I feel engraged. I'm enraged. Then tell Him..Bobby D. calls Chaz Palmienteri..."I just wanted to tell you that the thing you did enraged me"..classic mafia talk

I'm sure there are others...and I'm not asking you to judge my choices...but are there movies you just have to watch when you come across them?

I got made fun of when I watched "Whatever happened to baby jane" on tv the other night, I'm sorry, but that movie is fucking hilarious.

Oh, every now and then comedy central plays mallrats, and that movie is ridiculously funny.

no, it really is. not saying you are gay, just cause you like it, just saying we gays have good taste.

ooh, guffman and house of yes!

which reminds me... after sitting next to parker posey at jackie beat's christmas show, we got word that jackie was doing another show on memorial da weekend, so we got tickets, and we show up, they put as at the same table as last time. to be funny, we all sat in the same place we were last time. 10 minutes later, guess who walks in and sits in the same spots too? parker and her crew. she sat down next to me, looks over at me, and says "HEY! weren't you here last time?"

really bizarre.
