Ok gang, I know this question will generate a LOT of different opinions, but that's why I'm asking! :)

What movies do you think have the highest re-watchability. Let's not flame anybody here - they're just opinions! I'd just like to see if there is any type of pattern here. Let's try to limit the list to up to about 15 movies (I know, it's hard!). If you REALLY feel the urge to add more, go for it.

Let the lists begin!

I'll start...

2001: A Space Odyssey
Alien(s)
Apollo 13
It's a Wonderful Life
Jaws
Jurassic Park
LOTR
Predator
Saving Private Ryan
The Shawshank Redemption
Sleepy Hollow
T2
Titanic
Top Gun
The Wizard of Oz
