For me its 2001: A Space Odyssey; must've watched it about 100 times, but the attention to detail and general atmosphere of the film makes it so watchable. Kubrick was a complete genius.
yes and 2010As somebody posted above I would never go get a dvd and stick it on. its strange but if any of these films are on when im flicking channels ill watch them.
I have every Columbo in a box set. never even opened it but Saturday/Sunday afternoon im watching columbo
Apocalypse Now.
Saw it at the cinema when it was first released.
Bought the soundtrack on a vinyl LP when it was first released.
Replaced that with a cassette of the soundtrack.
Bought the film on video tape.
Replaced that with a DVD
Bought the directors cut DVD (Apocalypse Now Redux)
And now it's forever stored on our TV.
All in all I should think I've watched or listened to it over 80 times in 36 years.

Terminator 2- I've probably seen it over 100 times
No wonder you've only had time for 755 posts! That's over 250 hours of the same film.How on earth can you possibly eke any pleasure out of it any more?
Seriously, too: I know I upset Cotty earlier by saying I prefer to watch films I've never watched before rather than rewatch old ones, but honestly; that's 99 other films you've never even watched.
Zulu (the 'sing off'v drums gets me every time)
Dredd (massively underrated)
Aliens (just to hear Vasquez say 'Let's rock')
Black Hawk Down (Cast, story and cinematography)
As Good As It Gets (Nicholson's best film)
Bullitt (McQueen at his best)
Shaun of the Dead (every time i watch it there's more jokes)

This is my thinking. My girlfriend will watch any Harry Potter film, or any costume drama (Pride&Pred or Elizabeth etc) whenever they are on, over and over again even though she has the DVDs (and she watches those enough anyway).In contrast there are still hundreds of films I've been meaning to see but have not managed to yet that would take priority for me over previously seen stuff.
Sure there are a few films that I've seen more than 3 or 4 times (Princess Bride, Terminator 2, Diehard, Spirited Away) but that's often seeing it with new people etc. I can't think of many that I'd want to rewatch more than once every few years.
