    i find clint eastwood films are very re-enjoyable,i've seen dirty harry ten times and every time it's on sky i still give it a glance

    Pulp Fiction. There's so many funny scenes that you'll still find it funny, and the more you watch it the more the story starts to make sense.

    Blazing saddles,all the monty python movies (inc time bandits/jabbawoky)

    outlaw josey wales.

    1) The Third Man : Black and White. Orson Welles being S*** cool, as always. Ferris Wheel scene? Classic.

    2) The Holy Grail. Funneeee.

    3) Citizen Kane. Orson Welles being s*** cool. Classic.

    4) Fight Club. Don't know why I watch this a lot, probably just cos its brilliant, even though Brad Pitt does my head in.

    5) 28 Days Later: I would watch this film again and again, if I wasn't so freaked out by it, for some reason.

    Blade Runner because so many subtleties slowly reveal themselves each time you watch from looking to the different photos Deckard has on his piano to spotting the tiny differences between the director's cut and the original version.
    Alien 3: Due to the fact that over 2 and a half hours of footage was cut from this film watching the film for the first time then reading up on all the cut scenes allows you to see loads of tiny little pointers and references to scenes that no longer exist in the film. Plus the fact that a lot of the speech can only be picked up upon after several viewings makes it great to watch over and over.

    "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe........"
    I think that is probably the ultimate scene in any movie I've ever seen and I don't think it's a line I could ever tire of. Every time I hear it it provokes the same wonderful images in me as the first time I saw it.
