This is difficult I have movies I like in different genres and for a multitude of reasons.
Mostly though for me if it's a movie I'll watch it almost any time it's on, but even that eliminates some great movies that are difficult to watch over and over because its genius was in its twist ending.
As a dude its hard to beat
Fight Club
Cool Hand Luke
The Godfather I and II
The Shawshank Redemption
The Matrix
No Country for Old Men
Saving Private Ryan
Dances with Wolves
Pulp Fiction
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
2001 A Space Odyssey
Reservoir Dogs
Papillon, the original version obviously
The Wild Bunch
GoodFellas
Taxi Driver
The Deer Hunter
Full Metal Jacket
Fargo
Chinatown
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Alien and Aliens
but there are so many more and I appreciate more than just guy movies, somebody mentioned The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mine. This is such an underrated movie Carrey and Winslett were great and it had an excellent story and ensemble cast.
Otherwise, It would be easier for me to separate it into decades, because the true test of a film is its longevity Psycho, for example, even some of the classics from earlier times Citizen Kane The Maltese Falcon The African Queen. My parents loved watching movies and we watched the classics on TV we went to the drive-in and movies a lot in the 70s, so most of the best of the decade I've seen and appreciate
It's like Deliverance, it is so visceral so Appalachian it's a phenomenally made film, but I have to be in the right mood to watch it, It's a dark disturbing movie like A Clockwork Orange, Midnight Express, or Straw Dogs and I dig those too.
Missing so many others lately since most new movies both suck and blow, I have been trying to watch different director's portfolios Tarantino, Nolan, and the first Coen Brothers movie Blood Simple is fantastic.
