Good shout.
500 Days Of Summer also makes me very happy. I adore that film.

I don't rewatch movies with one exception - Crackerjack. Watch it once a year and love quoting as much as I can and having a laugh.
As a kid I'd watch pre-Die Another Day Bond films and the first two LOTR films repeatedly.
There's just too many good movies I haven't seen and not enough time so prioritise the unseen.
That said I'd love to rewatch my favourite films The Big Short, Intersteller, the Before trilogy, Dr Strangelove, Cabin in the Woods, Fury Road, The Intouchables etc etc. Too many good films haha I wouldn't know where to start.
That said I re-watch scenes occasionally. Most watched would probably be the Fredo "It ain't the way I wanted it!" scene to Michael in the Godfather 2 and the "Coin Toss" scene in No Country For Old Men.

Bueller.

I don't think I understood Walter Mitty, but it was an engrossing watch.

Bad Teacher is another severely underrated one. IIRC it got pretty terrible reviews too when it came out. So many quotable lines- "What do I know? I know a kid who wears the same Gymnastics sweater everyday isn't getting laid until he's 30. That's what I know'.... "No wonder the Japs are overtaking us. And when I say that I dont mean you" /camera pans to a clueless Japanese kid in the class.

The first one of those is great. Like there all pretty nostalgia fun but from memory 2 and 3 went the full PG route and its ridiculous, Michaelango has to use sauasages as nunchuks in the second cause he wasnt allowed weapons in a PG movie.Oh, and every year on my birthday i watch the original live action Ninja Turtles movie

There's a few outright classics mentioned here, which is fine.
My question is, do others feel more freedom to watch their favourite movies? As I said earlier I moderate my favourites. For people who watch them more than other movies, does it affect the enjoyment of them?

It is a 'are your favourite movies your most commonly watched movies, and does that affect their enjoyment?' question, which I think is pretty close to how I just said it.
T2 is a favourite, but I think I would have watched Oblivion more times than it.

I liken it to eating your favourite food everyday.
Would it start to get boring after a while?

It was more grounded "as grounded as a TMNT movie can get" and campy but also pretty dark.
Yeah they went more kid friendly thinking being so dark would implicate the marketing and reducing kids revenue coming in, so they went 180 to make it more kid freindly.
Nothing should be said of 3. It doesn't exist to me.
This one? I had this one for sure.
Arcade game was great but i suuuuucked at it lol

Depends on the movie in some regards, I can watch Aliens every 6-12 months and somehow it feels like I'm exploring a new world again, but I'm a bit more careful with some stuff like Band of Brothers which is my all time favourite TV show and I now only watch every 2nd year
