What is a movie you keep watching again every couple of years?

The Thing. Probably part of the reason why it'd be a dream job for me to work in Antarctica.

From the top of my mind that movie is "Terminator 2".

Runners-up: "Scent of a woman" and "The talented Mr. Ripley". Several Woody Allen movies are worth to revisit. "Deliverance" and "Pulp fiction" also.

Pulp Fiction. The combination of the upbeat music and memorable dialogue used to make me rewatch it at least once a month, as a feel good movie. I've since dialled it down but will still occasionally watch parts of it.

The funny thing is the first time I saw it I didn't like it all due to it's mixed-up order of story telling and, once you put it all together, fairly mundane plot. It was over time that I realised the plot is not really what you watch it for but you watch it for the overdrawn, yet interesting, character interactions in combination with the music and general vibe.

Airplane (aka 'Flying High').

Every time I watch it I see yet another sight-gag or 'get' another joke.

Excellent writers, they had jokes within jokes, even. One of the best writing teams ever.

Meet Me in St. Louis

It's a Wonderful Life

We watch one or the other of these whenever my (now adult) children are home for Christmas. It's family tradition going back to their childhood, and nobody wants to break it.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (a tale about a time and place I have not experienced), The Rum Diaries (surprisingly such a feel good movie), Bang Boom Bang (a hilarious German Comedy)

Dogma, Baraka, Space odyssey 2001 (and other Cubric's movies)

The Doors, love the look of the film and always enjoy kicking back and listening to the music

Labyrinth, with the kids now (and Spirited away and Totoro)

David Lynch films

American Splendor, becomes more relevant with age.

Porco Rosso, The Wind Rises, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service. The Ghibli films keep me coming back.

Barton Fink. Weirdly inspiring, and tells a story like almost no movie I have seen before and after.

Here is a few: Dogma, Baraka, Space odyssey 2001 (and other Cubric's movies)

There are a few (all are based on true story):

- Ek Doctor Ki Maut (a hindi-language movie based on actual events, chronicling the sad state of Indian research scientists in government institutions; the movie is based on the life of an Indian doctor from Kolkata who developed a vaccine for leprosy. The doctor committed suicide, but the movie has changed that)

Hot Fuzz
