Amadeus
Romeo and Juliet (the old Zeffirelli one from the 1960s) These are the best 'period' films *ever*, imho. The costumes, sets, etc take you right back in time.

There are quite a few movies that have withstood the test of time and multiple watchings with me. It depends on my genre mood of course, I can toss any one of these into the DVD player.
Comedy: Monty Python & the Holy Grail Yellowbeard Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure Strange Brew A Knight's Tale War: Cross of Iron Stalingrad (1993 German release) Big Red One (Directors cut) The Longest Day Kokoda Patton Tora Tora Tora Band of Brothers Tour of Duty (TV series) Wartime Black Comedy: Kelly's Heroes Catch-22 M.A.S.H. Western: Last Train from Gun Hill The Searchers Dead Man (1997 Jim Jarmusch film starring Johnny Depp) The Good, The Bad, & the Ugly High Plains Drifter Lonesome Dove - The Outlaw Years (2nd season of TV series) Some of my Classics: The Big Sleep Maltese Falcon Casablanca (just about any Humphrey Bogart film really) Farewell My Lovely (starring Robert Mitchum) 55 Days in Peking Northside 777 Emperor of the North Pole Chinatown The Bourne Trilogy ...the list could go on...

Primer. The best time-travel movie ever made.
(apart from wanting to watch it over and over again, it takes at least 2 watching times to actually understand what happens..)

Inception. I can't get enough of the score and imagery and concepts and emotion.

I have a few. Lord of the Rings trilogy particularly Return of the King. And recently I do believe Avatar has become a favorite. Shaw shank Redemption is one of those movies that I can watch over and over again.

I'm sure i've mentioned this before somewhere, but.... Amadeus
I can never get sick of this film. I fell in love with it as a freshman music student and got addicted. Along with the LOTR trilogy, it's the one other film that i have watched so many times that i have lost count some few million times ago. Mozart is my #1 favorite composer of all time, and a film about his life, with all the greatest of his music and the most beautiful costumes and historic locations... is just plain heaven to me... I've been watching it tonight, in fact. It's one of those things in life that can help me feel grounded and comforted and 'like me'.... it somehow takes me to that nice, centered 'happy place'. And, i need that right now..... Beautiful, beautiful film.....
