Most films in most genres are something I can watch only once or one in a great while. I just remember them too well to watch them over and over again. The comedy stops being funny, the drama stops having impact, the mystery is gone. Normally, I can only watch a film repeatedly if it visually very complex and interesting and that normally only happens in Science Fiction or Fantasy films. I can watch any of the following over and over:
2001: A Space Odyssey
Terminator 2
Blade Runner
Aliens
Avatar
The Fifth Element
The Martian
Inception
Gravity
Star Wars (yeah, even the prequel trilogy)
Star Trek (OK, not Star Trek V)
The Matrix (even the sequels)
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (not so much for The Hobbit trilogy)
The Harry Potter Films
Some of the Marvel Universe films
That said, there a few comedies I can watch repeatedly:
Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail
Animal House
