'Bullet-Proof' or 'Fail-Safe' movies.

These are the flix, that, no matter how many times you've seen them, you can watch them again.

Some examples:

I, Robot
Princess Bride
Transformers
Goodfellas- I've actually gotten sick of this movie, I've seen it that many times! But, when there's NOTHING on 180 channels, this will suffice.:rolleyes:
I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    Thanks for posting this. I don't have any movie channels here(don't want any), and I was thinking about starting a thread on what are you watching. I like to get good movies and keep them stored on my Hard Drvie. I watched Flawless this evening, and it sucked. I can't beleive Robert Denero would take a movie like that.
    Cool hand Luke has been one that I will watch through the years. Hopefully people will post some suggestions.

    Nice thread idea. I call these "bedroom movies." I keep 'em in my bedroom for something to watch when I can't sleep. I've seen them all so many times that i can watch them without worrying about falling asleep.

    To add to a few mentioned above:
    - Forrest Gump
    - Back to the Future
    - Big Trouble in Little China
    - Stand By Me
    - Pulp Fiction
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
