What movie(s) have you watched multiple times and would keep watching again and again?

.
1979, “Breaking Away” …

… the “Cutters” (townies) are really called “Stoners” because they “cut and process” the Limestone that gets shipped all over the world, including D.C. from Bedford/Bloomington Indiana and Lawrence county south of there …. Stoners would have been too demeaning for the movie Breaking Away, since it implies smoking weed. So the movie writers changed the townies nickname to Cutters …

Btw … Gus Grissom is a graduate of Mitchell High in Lawrence county, so he could be called a Stoner. DW graduated from Mitchell high too … and is also an Indiana University graduate where the movie Breaking Away is set …

I think the charity bicycle race at IU, called “The Little 500” … is still an annual event today. It pits the Cutters (Stoners) against the IU fraternity fielded teams.

I am doing a research project on WW1/2 films. Just finished watching "The Dirty Dozen" and "Stalag 17," both were great movies I would definitely watch again :)

I also watched the 1971 "Johnny Got His Gun." Simply a masterpiece. However, it is a very, very hard watch. One of the most heart-rending films I have ever seen. It has a powerful anti-war message.
