The stage version of 12 Angry Men came through Baltimore last year. One of the best productions I've ever seen.

I will not list the movies I watch repeatedly. It is to laugh.

1. To Kill a Mockingbird. That kind of character in people is so rarely seen in movies nowadays.

I don't like to watch movies more than once.
However, embarrassingly:

Legally Blonde
The Devil Wears Prada

Glad you mentioned this movie. The Shawshank Redemption is one of the few movies that I can watch everytime I see it on television and I've worn it out in VHS. As far as rewatchability, I'd give it an A. One can rarely say that about even the greatest of films.

I can't limit it to ten. I watch many movies, but when I really like something I tend to glom onto it and watch it over and over ... and over ... and over .. and ....

For some reason I love 'Spanglish' and watch it every time it's on.

(I think it's because of the woman)

Also, I watch 'Heaven Can Wait' every time it's on.

I haven't been to a walk in movie theater since 1965 when my new (and still) wife and I saw The Endless Summer and Tokyo Olympiad. However, I still choke up through Ikiru and watch, with various degrees of interest, many of the films noted above.

I even bought the DVD of A River Runs Through It after reading just about everything Maclean wrote. I like it. A lot. I blew it when my dad tried to teach me flyfishing all those years ago and I didn't take him up on it.

And I wasn't even going to say that. 4 times in the theater and several with the girls at home is enough for now. There is another thread down there somewhere which holds a clue.
(I'd consider something that shows Gerard Butler's whole face though.)
