Films that you can watch over and over

Just thinking about this (changed my username in fact to a character), what films are the ones that if you are flicking through channels and come upon, you just have to watch to the end even though you have seen them over and over again!

Mine are:

First Wives Club
Stepmom
The Island
The Trueman Show

I can guarantee if any of those films are on, I will change the channel and watch until done :)

What’s yours?

Same as Peaches. Plus all Marvel films as well.

Every Christmas I watch While You Were Sleeping and Meet Me in St. Louis.

I can quote all of the first three Superman films. I love all the Lethal Weapon films. I'll watch any Simon Pegg film, pretty much, even the weird ones but Hot Fuzz never gets old.

Jaws.
It's always on something like ITV4 at stupid o'clock, and my DH rolls his eyes and goes to bed telling me I'll regret it in the morning 😂
