Top 10 movies I will see over and over again

This blog isn't just going to be about politics and other rantings. Occasionally it may end up being a dumping ground for some of these lists that people (what people, you may ask?) talk with me about. This is going to be just such an occasion.

I strongly dislike watching movies even twice. My poor wife stares longingly at our DVD collection with hopes that someday, I will sit with her again through Howard's End or something. This isn't going to happen.

I do however have a small cadre of movies that I am willing to watch repeatedly. Some of these, I might even watch back-to-back. Here is my top ten list:

10. Oceans Eleven - I love heist movies, what can I say

9. The Blues Brothers - "no ma'am, we're musicians"

8. Any of the Sean Connery Bond movies - save the world, get the girl(s)

7. A Princess Bride - so quotable, I think I use a quote from this everyday

6. Star Wars (A New Hope and Empire only) - classic

5. The Godfather (I and II) - another amazing and quotable movie

4. This is Spinal Tap - I start laughing before the credits and basically, don't stop

3. Hoosiers - Basketball and Leadership

2. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery - "ill-tempered" sea bass with lasers, does it get any better?

1. The Fifth Element - This movie completely rocks.

I am sure I will think of others. But for now, this is where I start. Tell me what I missed in the comments.
