The Twilight Samurai

Birdman

Spirited Away

since someone else  posted 20 I cheated more and moved my list to 20 . I think these span a nice portion of the evolution of film, as well as capturing just about all the ranges of human emotion , interaction, and experience.   It was hard not including things like NbN, M, Wizard of Oz, Citizen Kane, Aguierre: WoG, etc.

There is a point where really can you watch a movie more than once and all of these yeah I could easily watch them more than once.  Some movies, the only way you watch them ever again is to own them, because who wants to rent a movie on Netflix over two times honestly?

 

 

Sadly not all movies are as rewatchable as this...

a bugs life

Robin Hood (1973 Animated)

Pocahontas (1995 Animated)

...it's not every movie I've seen but... if it's not on this list, (especially "classic", or wildly popular, or even just critically acclaimed films), then I probably haven't seen it - and even more especially if the movie predates 2010 and isn't animated from when I repeatedly watched in childhood. There is a list of almost 350 movies I have in my Wishlist on the iTunes Store of all the movies I "should" have seen by now as an adult. About 50 of those on my Wishlist I have seen at least part of or the whole thing. It's almost shocking how little I've seen though.

I need to add a few of these in my always on TV section so no need to own.

 

Fight Club I like but not sure I love it and would watch it over and over, but again probably can add that to the TV section as well being a little overwatched in that regard.

 

And now that I remember I do own Talladega Nights The Ballad of Ricky Bobby but probably should not, that movie is good in parts but overall I thought it would be a lot better.  That is one I bought before I saw it so could have been a mistake but still has some good parts.

I still buy hard copies of movies I really enjoy and have high replay value.  I’m also a huge sucker for additional content- behind the scenes featurettes, director’s commentaries, etc. Some of the blu-rays that excel at this that I own are:

Gravity (arguably the best featurettes ever)
The Social Network
Zero Dark Thirty
The Town
Oblivion
The Last Jedi
(killer 2 hr documentary)
Minority Report
Heat
Good Will Hunting
(exceptional dir commentary track)
MI: Fallout
