Most rewatchable movies list

Ok guys... we've done movie lists before where we've discussed best movie endings ever and goosebump moments in movies.

So here's today's topic of the day : Which are the movies you don't mind watching again when they come on TV ?

Here's my list.

1. Terminator 2 : For me, it was iconic for it's time and remains immensely enjoyable even today. Two decades have done nothing to make it any less watchable.

2. A Few Good Men : This court room drama involving Tom Cruise, Demi Moore and an iconic cameo by Jack Nicholson had no action as such but the tension that builds up as the trial progresses is brilliant.

3. Con Air : What can I say ? A lovely romantic starting and ending ( mainly because of Trisha Yearwood's 'How Do I live' ) with the right mix of action and humour in between. Starring Nicholas Cage when he still cared about the movies he signed up for.

4. Shawshank Redemption : Slow. No action. No women. An entire movie set inside a jail. A Stephen King movie. Wow ! You wouldn't have given it a chance. And yet, even though it flopped initially, this movie went on to become a huge favourite of those who appreciate good thought-provoking movies.

5. Love Actually : So many films try the "linking many stories together" tactic. But none of them does it as well as Love Actually. Such a romantic gem. Trust the British to show us how it's done.

6. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaben / HP3 : This is the first movie to give up the childrens movie pretense and instead portray the Hogwarts world as dark with moody hues. But it isn't that : it's the brilliant story and the climax towards the end that appeals to me. It was after watching this movie that I took an interest in the HP series and started reading the books.

7. Andaz Apna Apna : You have to bitch slap all those who made this film a flop when it released. You could show this film on Tv any number of times and everybody would still sit to watch this Salman-Aamir starrer which had us all laughing from the start to ending. So many memorable lines and characters.

8. You don't mess with the Zohan : I don't care what you say. I love Adam Sandler and John Turturro in this movie as Zohan and Phantom. The comedy is in your face and perhaps not for kids, but it's hilarious nevertheless.

9. Independence Day : What's not to love in a movie where you have Will Smith in his debut role taking on a bunch of aliens ? Seriously though, we've seen so many alien movies before and since, but for me, this was thright mix of action and emotion.

10. X men - First Class : I gave this movie no hope whatsoever. No star cast. Trying to show the origins of two old characters with no other famous mutants. But it pleasantly surprised me with a good storyline, multiplthemes of discrimination and acceptence, a lovely background score and some fine acting.

Runner ups : Aladdin, Die Hard, Face off ( How could I not add a John Woo film in here )

I'm sure I've missed many obvious ones in here. So now as usual, it's your turn to add to this blogpost. Tell me the movies you've 're-watched' the most ?
