Over the weekend* I saw a post from FiveThirtyEight supposedly listing The 25 Most Rewatchable Movies of All Time. They polled people and come up with a list that was topped by Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, The Lord of the Rings, and Gone with the Wind. As tends to happen with such lists there was a lot of disagreement online (specifically on Twitter). All the comments made me think about my most rewatchable movies of all time based on movies I’ve rewatched in the past. Here is what I came up with:
- Star Wars
- Casablanca
- All That Jazz
- Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
- Fight Club
- Gone With The Wind
- The Shining
- Bull Durham
- The Breakfast Club
- The Player
- Some Like It Hot
- To Have and Have Not
- Silence of the Lambs
- Breakfast at Tiffanys
- Kill Bill
- Singing in the Rain
- Reservoir Dogs
- On the Waterfront
- The Untouchables
- Desk Set
- Vertigo
- The Royal Tenenbaums
- Full Metal Jacket
- The Iron Giant
- Chicago
Ask me a gain later, and I’m sure at least a few of these (and definitely the order) would change. Plus, this doesn’t include movies I’ve only see once but am likely to watch again. For example, I’ve only seen it once so far I could see Wonder Woman joining this list at some point. (Read a spoiler free list of all the times the Wonder Woman movie made me cry)
What are your most rewatchable movies?
*The FiveThirtyEight list is actually from 2015, but they reshared it over the weekend, which resparked debate.
