Of all the Spiderman movies, it's the most "mature". So little of that "golly gee I'm new" BS that plagues the other ones ...And they even make a running joke of the whole "how we got here" thing.
And that's without factoring in the absolute artistry of the animation.

Oh, Ben. I watched this movie on VHS every day after school for years, and two times or more on the weekend. The soundtrack was taken off Spotify, and on the way home from rehearsal this week, I discovered it's been put back up. I've been listening to it nonstop this week.
I don't rewatch it now as much, but I don't know when anything recent will surpass my childhood obsession with it.
Rutger's Full Stack Bootcamp grad, currently searching for her first junior dev position. I also have a love of adventure, marketing, and art. Profile art by the talented Zoey Masters.
Ugh. I want to just go back now after Endgame and rewatch every MCU movie in chronological order. Problem is, I have so little time to do that and there are so many hahaha.
KungFu Hustle. No matter how many times I've watched it, it's always still funny. But only if you're into cheap slapstick jokes.
Also Christoper Nolan's Batman series. The dark heroic vibe of Batman and the enemies in those movies somehow just sticks, they don't go away after many viewings.
Lately, I'd have to say Thor Ragnarok (probably one of the best entrances ever of a super hero and just a hilarious and great action movie), The Lonely Island's Bash Brothers and Kung Fury.

Scott Pilgrim is based on the Plumtree song entitled "Scott Pilgrim". Plumtree is an indie rock band from my hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
And not just any indie rock band from Halifax, Nova Scotia, they were my sister's friends! My sister was even their "manager" or something. (Nothing official, just helped out early on, and I might be misremembering)
Anyway, I have never even seen the movie but I very much remember Plumtree as my sister's friends' band.
Shawshank redemption
Forest Gump
Blues Brothers
Iron Man
Fifth Element

Pulp fiction
Iron Giant
Akira
Despicable me
Toy Story 1,2,3 (4 is utter rubbish, don't watch it!)
The original 3 Star Wars
Star Trek 2: the wrath of khan
Star Trek: First contact

Matilda
Not exhaustive but what I can think of off the top of my head
I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Currently rewatching The Hobbit right now. But hmmm... 🤔
As a kid, I watched Hook loads. Robin Williams is awesome and totally re-watchable.
In high school, I definitely used to watch Sleepy Hollow, the Tim Burton version, loads... had that one on DVD and it always stuck with me.
I don't replay movies as much now but was rewatching lots of Atlanta recently until the new Stranger Things season came out! And The Office is like comfort food for re-watching. I know it all so well, but it's still so great.
software developer with almost no qualifications, but a strong desire for learning. i believe that you can make it without qualifications if you push yourself.

"just visiting" is fun. my wife and i like to watch that every now and then.
but every december, it's not Christmas without watching "elf". every year. :)
also, we watch all the harry potter movies at the end of the year, but since our son popped out, it's been difficult to get all the movies in over november/december.

it's hard as I have a few that I can rewatch any time and still enjoying my time ... Depending on the mood: Matrix, Jurassic Park and Back To The Future 3 (yeah, I know it's not the most liked one in the trilogy).
Jurassic Park and Twister are always in the lead for number of times watched, thanks to my obsession as a youngster, but more recently I've found myself re-watching:
Hacksaw Ridge
About Time
Forest Gump
50 First Dates
Avatar
Shawshank Redemption
Flight of the Navigator
Once
Like Water for Chocolate
Ever After
Most of the MCU movies I'd rewatch, wit Ragnarok and Endgame at the top.
I don't watch movies like most people watch movies, and I'm sure many of you are the same. I'm in awe of the process and the details, from the most technical aspects to plain good acting, like Tom Hanks being able to pull off all that solo work in Castaway.
I graduated in 1990 in Electrical Engineering and since then I have been in university, doing research in the field of DSP. To me programming is more a tool than a job.
Smetto Quando Voglio (I can quit whenever I want), an Italian movie trilogy about a group of researchers who reinvent themselves as drug dealers. The secondary title was "Meglio ricercati che ricercatori" that means "Better to be wanted (in a bounty sense) than researchers," but in English the world play is lost...
It was not born as a trilogy. The first movie is from 2014 and it was thought as a stand-alone movie. Then, because of the huge success, they shoot other two movies: "Masterclass" and "Ad Honorem"
Also Io c'è, another comedy Italian movie, this time about a bed-and-breakfast owner that invents a new religion for not paying taxes. Too late he will discover that he created a monster... Very funny and subtle too...
Jack of all trades! Been coding since 14, drop it for administrative task (I was so wrong) now taking the keyboard again learning new stuff and writing new l
At the moment it's The Greatest Showman! 7-8 times now since it was released (saw it twice at the cinema). Got to see Hugh Jackman and Keala Settle live too during his tour!
I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
Going to be one out of left field for most people here, but:
Hogfather
It's a movie based on the novel by the same name by the late British satire author Sir Terry Pratchett. I always liked the story to begin with, and I love how well it was made into a movie (much better than the other two books of his that were made into movies: 'Going Postal' and 'The Color of Magic').
Other's near the top of the list for me:
Pom Poko.
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
BLAME!.
The Princess Bride.
The live action version of 'The Grinch'.
The Lord of the Rings (but not the Hobbit, I really didn't like it all that much as a movie).
I've watched Pacific Rim a buncha times. It's nice because it requires no emotional investment at all. Almost no romance, almost no drama, just big ol' giant robots fighting monster aliens in slow motion for two hours. You don't even have to watch the whole thing, just tune out whenever you've had enough.
I was raised with this film. I've seen it hundreds of times. It's hilarious.
A new pastor takes the helm at a church only to find his new town in the clutches of organized crime - gambling. Losing his churches emergency fund on a horse race, he enlists the help of the women in his congregation to find the crime bosses and take them down.
Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure I watched Joe Dirt at least once a night for six months or so, due to it being stuck as the first thing in the queue on an original XBMC and me and my housemates being extremely reluctant to get up and find the remote.
War/Period/Drama - Master and Commander. Comedy - My Cousin Vinny. War - Blackhawk Down. Wes Anderson - Grand Budapest Hotel Yes, he deserves his own category. Crime - Fracture, but it's pretty hard to choose.
If we go really far back in time, then The Big Sleep from 1946, or maybe The Four Feathers from 1939. More recent films: Croupier and Inside Man, both with Clive Owen.
All things software & product, honestly - FrontEnd, BackEnd, DevOps, ML - as long as we're solving massive problems.
My code is used by millions of users globally - Potatoes make me happy
I am a self-taught software engineer with a passion for learning. I love to think about both programming and design, both in how to architect good code and how to create good experiences for users.
UI/UX Developer working within a range from emails, design and development. Dabbles with Wordpress. Working on React and related technologies at the moment.
Oh so many good options. My top favorites, in no particular order. Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur, Gladiator, Deadpool, and TRON: Legacy. I've a bunch saved on my tivo and watch them all the time.

Right now, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse. Just finished my fourth/fifth watch 😅
Of all time? That's much harder for me to choose... Kung Fu Hustle is definitely very easy to rewatch. Highly recommend if you haven't watched it.
Same! I've seen Spider-verse thrice now since the first time a few weeks ago!
I still tear up at the final Peter Parker/ Miles Morales moment 😭
Of all the Spiderman movies, it's the most "mature". So little of that "golly gee I'm new" BS that plagues the other ones ...And they even make a running joke of the whole "how we got here" thing.
And that's without factoring in the absolute artistry of the animation.
SAME! Me and the GF can't get enough of it!!
Twice in the theatres, once, so far, since it came to NetFlix. Also bought it on BD, but have yet to crack the wrapper on it.
Italian Job! Love me a good heist movie!
Heist movies are amazingly re-watchable. Ocean’s 11 all day.
If you haven't... watch The Inside Man.
Oh man that’s another one of my all time favorites. I will watch basically any Denzel movie without getting tired of them.
Heh. I'm that way, but with Clive Owen.
I know what I'm watching tonight :D
Office space whenever my work annoys me.
Such a great movie!
PC Load Letter? What the f**k does that even mean?
It's such a good movie to wind down from work, as it presents you a more relaxed work place. Kind of :)
Yes!
I think still has to be the original Blade Runner (Director's cut).
Every time I watch it I'm in awe at how it really makes you feel like it's a glimpse into a World rather than just a story that comes and goes.
Yup. One of the ones on my top-5.
Jurassic Park comes to mind for me. I swear it never gets old.
Iron Man, the first MCU movie, is also incredibly re-watchable. Especially after Endgame made so many callbacks to it towards the end.
Oh, Ben. I watched this movie on VHS every day after school for years, and two times or more on the weekend. The soundtrack was taken off Spotify, and on the way home from rehearsal this week, I discovered it's been put back up. I've been listening to it nonstop this week.
I don't rewatch it now as much, but I don't know when anything recent will surpass my childhood obsession with it.
❤️Endgame
Ugh. I want to just go back now after Endgame and rewatch every MCU movie in chronological order. Problem is, I have so little time to do that and there are so many hahaha.
I love Jurassic Park. I listen to the theme music on youtube when I work.
Iron Man (1) is still my fav MCU movie
KungFu Hustle. No matter how many times I've watched it, it's always still funny. But only if you're into cheap slapstick jokes.
Also Christoper Nolan's Batman series. The dark heroic vibe of Batman and the enemies in those movies somehow just sticks, they don't go away after many viewings.
Ip Man
Martial art fan here
Wedding Crashers!
Lately, I'd have to say Thor Ragnarok (probably one of the best entrances ever of a super hero and just a hilarious and great action movie), The Lonely Island's Bash Brothers and Kung Fury.
Ragnarok is, perhaps, the best of the mainline Avengers movies. Really hoping Taika's second crack at Thor is even better.
Ragnarok is definitely the funniest movie in the MCU.
Kung fury is a masterpiece!
Either Scott Pilgrim vs the World or Hackers. Both are masterpieces.
Here's some trivia for you:
Scott Pilgrim is based on the Plumtree song entitled "Scott Pilgrim". Plumtree is an indie rock band from my hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
And not just any indie rock band from Halifax, Nova Scotia, they were my sister's friends! My sister was even their "manager" or something. (Nothing official, just helped out early on, and I might be misremembering)
Anyway, I have never even seen the movie but I very much remember Plumtree as my sister's friends' band.
Whoa! That is super cool! You should check out the movie - it's really good!
The graphic novel series is pretty great too.
"You've Got Mail"
It's not about romance, it's about communication. I watch it several times a year.
Kind of makes me want to re-watch it. Never would have occurred to me.
It's even better if you've read Pride and Prejudice (or watched the version with Colin Firth). There are a number of parallels.
This is easy: Back To The Future
v for vendetta and pirate of caribbean
I have loads:
Shawshank redemption
Forest Gump
Blues Brothers
Iron Man
Fifth Element
Goodfellas
Pulp fiction
Iron Giant
Akira
Despicable me
Toy Story 1,2,3 (4 is utter rubbish, don't watch it!)

Also, anything Christopher Nolan. My favorites here:

Elf for christmas every year is tradition at our house too. And white Christmas.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day, cause he will probably keep coming back, forever.

BTW, the main character in both movies is played by Edoardo Di Leo
Michael Bay's The rock, with Sir Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage.
I have never known why, but it's the kind of movie that helps me doing a mental reboot
Edit: I forgot to say Die Hard 1 and 2 (the others are awful).
Goonies.
100% every day could watch most, of not all of, the Goonies.
As a child who grew up in the 80s that movie is woven into the fabric of my upbringing.
(Fun fact: I've been to the Goonie house in Astoria OR 😁)
At the moment it's The Greatest Showman! 7-8 times now since it was released (saw it twice at the cinema). Got to see Hugh Jackman and Keala Settle live too during his tour!
Currently I just want to watch Into the Spider-verse on repeat.
Other contenders are:
I don't watch a lot of movies, but I will watch the same movie over and over again 😅
Captain America : Civil War. Close second is Skyfall.
I loved Civil War and Winter Soldier, both some of my favorite super hero movies.

For me it's La La Land

Almost no romance, almost no drama, just big ol' giant robots fighting monster aliens in slow motion for two hours. You don't even have to watch the whole thing, just tune out whenever you've had enough.
From my list one can tell I like heist movies, so name any good ones not on the list.
So many more that are worth to mention but then the list becomes endless.

Apollo 13. 🌕
If this is on, I can sit down and boom, it's the end of the movie before I even know it. Completely rewatchable at any time.
Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure I watched Joe Dirt at least once a night for six months or so, due to it being stuck as the first thing in the queue on an original XBMC and me and my housemates being extremely reluctant to get up and find the remote.
War/Period/Drama - Master and Commander.
Comedy - My Cousin Vinny.
War - Blackhawk Down.
Wes Anderson - Grand Budapest Hotel Yes, he deserves his own category.
Crime - Fracture, but it's pretty hard to choose.
I have a few that I've watched more times than I care to admit...
Pitch Perfect. It's just one of those things I can watch no matter what mood I'm in.
Also ... almost any Disney Princess movie, with Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Frozen being my favorites.
Mmm...tough one.
Blade Runner, I think.
Waking Life by Richard Linklater. Love the animation.
or Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou by Wes Anderson. Love Bill Murray.
Tron: Legacy (got me into the whole idea of choosing programming as a career)
The Lord of the Rings because those movies are incredible
The lack of Star Wars in this thread is disturbing...
Fight Club
The Big Lebowski. There's no limit on how many times you can watch that movie. Every scene is gold.
Besides The Big Lebowski ?
The Godfather and Pulp Fiction.
We're the millers 😬
Guilty pleasures:
Favorite of all time:
Léon. Luc Besson, Jean Reno and Natalie Portman.
starship troopers!! would you like to know more ;)
The Social Network.
Definitely The Matrix, Predestination and Casino.
The original Dune!!! As a fan of the books I wasn't even bothered by the MAJOR changes...
Fight Club & Donnie Darko!
If we go really far back in time, then The Big Sleep from 1946, or maybe The Four Feathers from 1939. More recent films: Croupier and Inside Man, both with Clive Owen.
Braveheart
Lord of the Rings
Zombieland
The Matrix
Ace Ventura
Office Space
The Princess Bride
The Breakfast Club
Too many! I'm sure there are more I can't think of right now. 😁

Spirited Away by far
I'm not an emotional guy but "The Martian" gets me every time
Heathers. At least once a month, more like once every two weeks.
Groundhog day.

youtu.be/wRnSnfiUI54
Batman, The Dark Knight. One of the best of all time and re-watchable without limit
Oh so many good options. My top favorites, in no particular order. Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur, Gladiator, Deadpool, and TRON: Legacy. I've a bunch saved on my tivo and watch them all the time.
What Dreams May Come.
Probably Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, Avengers : Endgame from Hollywood and 3 idiots , M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story from Bollywood.
Constantine, V for vendetta and Good Will Hunting.
