Which movie have you watched more times than any other and why?

Is it because you enjoy the film making and performances involved?

Or does it have more to do with it being something nostalgic?

Mine's probably Jurassic Park. It's a ground breaking movie, of course, but for me it has more to do with a nostalgia attached to it. It was one of the first big movies I remember seeing in the theater, as a kid. Blew my mind then, and it takes me back to that feeling when I watch it now.

@SW-User Is it because you enjoy those movies for their craft, or because there is a nostalgic attachment to them for you?

@TheHoundOfMusic bit of both... think they are excellent movies in their own right. But I first used to watch them with my grandfather and it kinda takes me back y'know

@SW-User When people discuss movies being a powerful medium, as a grown up you really don't appreciate how much that's the case. Until you remember just how viscerally stuck to your memory some of the movies you saw as a kid still are. It's a special combination, when as a kid your mind is just clamoring for new worlds and stories, and you watch these movies without much ado... and then decades later, as a grown up, you realize they're stuck with you now, forever.
