having my kids watch the classic 80's movies. Mainly because of The Goldberg's, but we've shown them Bill and Ted's, Ferris Bueller, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Die Hard, and a few others.
We just watched Dodgeball as a family, now my son can't stop quoting Patches O'Houlihan!
HA! That's awesome.
Necessary?! Is it necessary that I drink my own urine?
Probably not.
Well, I do it anyway because its sterile and I like the taste.

the duckie boys, the wongs, the del bombers, the Fordham Baldies, Chubby Galasso and his boys the football games, Emilio.
just a great movie and it's never on. but I'd watch it every time it came on if it ever did.Agree on The Wanderers and I should have had that on my list as I try to watch it at least once a year and it still needs a proper blu ray release ,A few movies I should have had on there and iam surprised I left off are Easy Money ,Dc Cab ,Caddyshack ,better off dead and Revenge of the nerds
Was awesome to see a legend like Paul Newman in such a good late in life role. I'm not sure I find it all that rewatchable though.
Films that would qualify have strong individual scenes, perhaps not necessarily as a key part of the overall arc, but present to underscore thematic import. Scorsese & Tarantino. Shawshank as mentioned. Many tremendous films have relative lulls in the narrative in order the develop the wider story. Not all that rewatchable.
My picks would be 12 Angry Men which I've seen dozens of times, Pulp Fiction (obviously), Back to the Future, more recently Edge of Tomorrow, and Jenna Jameson's early work before she developed that inner city "I'll lick your taint for a quarter" crackwhore look. You know what I'm talking about...

I never would have thought of 12 Angry Men if you hadn't posted it. I loved that film. I watched it in HS (30 years ago) after reading the play and can sit and watch it whenever I come across it since. Another film from that era (I think, without looking it up) that I was also exposed to in HS and equally loved was Inherit the Wind.

Any Clint Eastwood western or Dirty Harry film plus a few that he has directed.
I agree with, and so many I wouldn't rewatch at gunpoint. And some listed by the same posters.
Two that are listed very often that I just don't get are The Big Lebowski and Dazed and Confused. I know how much people love those movies, but I just don't care about either one. Not sure why, but I've seen both a couple of times and they just don't do it for me.
Accidental Tourist. Love the mood of the movie, some of the weird characters such as the emotionally dead William Hurt and his family. For some reason, seem to have.an affinity for movies and shows in Baltimore. Saying that I would also put Avalon on my list.
Happy Gilmore, Gone with The Wind, Shawshank, Mississippi Burning, any Christopher Nolan Batman movie, Casablanca, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and, the movie I practically can quote, It's a Wonderful Life.
My wife also tells me I love 'The Help' whenever it's on.

Hey Dante, my girlfriend & I caught you on the news yesterday.
Really? By girlfriend do you mean that piece of rabbit fur you rub on your dick every night?
-No, how much?
Well....I don't know, but it must be quite a lot.
I remember when Falling Down came out, a lot of people took it seriously, which always amused it. It's clearly a black comedy.
