Glory is one of those movies I can watch again and again.

What's one of your "timeless" movies?

"Legends of the Fall"

I would have to say it's "Withnail and I". I don't know how many times I've seen it... My cat's name is even Withnail!!! ;)

I really only like to watch silly movies over and over again. There aren't many dramas that qualify.

[laureth.livejournal.com]

Amadeus. Braveheart. Rob Roy.

[custardfairy.livejournal.com]

Practical Magic, Princess Bride, Amelie and my food movies: Chocolat, Woman on Top, Babette's Feast, Like Water for Chocolate, Eat Drink Man Woman.

Me, too. I seem to watch Eurotrip every three months or so.

Glory's good, but I think I'm okay with once every five years or so.

Most of the movies I watch repeatedly are more because they're fun (Star Wars, Batman, assorted comedies) than because they're good (which "timeless" seems to say). The movie for me that I think best fits what you're getting at is Pleasantville. Edward Scissorhands or Se7en might qualify, too.

Galaxy Quest, there's something that makes it funnier each time I watch it. I think the "insider" Star Trek jokes help with that.

Also the Lost in Space movie. I think its the "absent father who makes good" theme that gets me.

Agreed with the fun vs timeless thing.
For timeless stuff that I can watch all the time.. *ponder*
Seven Samurai. Grand Illusion. Les Enfants du Paradis.

[fadedpaladin.livejournal.com]

None of those are particularly uplifting.
For funny stuff (not so much timeless, but things that I'll just throw on because they make me smile and I want to burn two hours) ... Princess Bride. Willow. Real Genius. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Dazed and Confused.

Auntie Mame
Tank Girl
Steel Magnolias (it's my guilty pleasure movie and I do not own a copy)

[brendand.livejournal.com]

Zoolander and Moulin Rouge.

Yes, I'm all kinds of mental. ;)

Princess Bride. What's not to love? Every single scene is perfect and it never gets dated.

"I don't think that word means what you think it means" and "as you like" are in every-day rotation in our house. The children, when they see us kissing, will either say "yuck" or "too blave." "Hello, my name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." This movie has something for EVERYONE.
