Alfie (the original Michael Caine classic)
The Graduate
Groundhog Day
Lassie Come Home
The Search (Montgomery Clift) - almost the same as “Lassie Come Home”
The Searchers
Shane

The Heartbreak Kid (the original) - available on Youtube.
The Heartbreak Kid (1972) - YouTube

I like lots of movies, but these are some of the ones I’ve watched numerous times.

I forgot about "Shane" one of my all time favorites. I guess I'll play it in the next couple days.

Default Kelly's Heroes.

Kelly's Heroes (1970) - Rotten Tomatoes

Kellly's Heroes.

This is another movie I like to see but I do remember being bullied a little bit by someone in that theater. I often remember if something bad happened before or while I was viewing whatever movie.

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

Then next time I see him, it's Hawkeye Pierce, again he's the glue that holds all the characters together. I could never watch the television version, Sutherland was so entrenched in my mind that Alan Alda was just too meek. What also made it so memorable for me, was I was in Korea when I saw Mash for the first time.

The Villages Florida

Next, just to show he's multi-talented character actor, Donald Sutherland plays the detective in Klute, a film that Jane Fonda won the academy award. A really good 70's suspenseful crime drama that had you on the edge, I saw it again just a few months ago. Or he was doing his best Steve McQueen impersonation.

I'm want to say just one word to you, just one word. Plastics.
