Freddy got fingered, to the point a friend and me could retell the whole movie word for word.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
It is somehow my goto "comfort"-movie
Beerfest, back to the future 1+2, the big lebowski are some of my repeat picks.
Whenever I have a really bad day at work my husband will play Slammin Salmon to cheer me up.
Grumpy Old Men:)
Ocean's Eleven
"...the Rat Pack one with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin!"
Imagine some crazy guy saying that.
Superbad
Both LOTR and Harry Potter, marathon once in a while.
As a kid I spent probably a week sitting under a table in my room, rewatching A New Hope on a portable dvd player over and over and over. I thought that I should watch it until I had every line memorized, and then move onto ESB (which I never did for obvious reasons)
So probably ANH, followed by any other SW movie, then Mad Max Fury Road and Sicario
Practical Magic. It might be tied with Nightmare Before Christmas.
It was comfortable for me to watch them both often when I scored a VCR in my room.
Probably A Goofy Movie. I had it on VHS and watched it over and over, the themes in it were just exactly what I needed to hear as a tween. It probably fell behind in the count for a while, but now I have Disney plus and rewatch it pretty regularly. And yes, I've seen the Atlanta episode, I had no idea, and it's hilarious.
My family watched this so many times! We named our cat Max. My adult children got Powerline t-shirts last Christmas.
Star Trek: First Contact or Insurrection
I used to fall asleep watching Twister on VHS. Something about the substandard quality and tracking sound really sealed the deal when I needed to catch some Zzz's.
I watched it so many times that I wore out the tape.
Hateful Eight. The acting, pacing, dialogue all 10/10 IMO. It just feels cozy watching it.
For me it's Casino. Easily my favorite movie.
The Last Dragon or Ghostbusters, probably. I still watch those both at least once a year. So probably 50+ times for both of those.
Ferris buellers day eternal sunshine for the spotless mind the green mile ice age a waking life.
