You probably have a handful of movies that you’ve watched over and over and over again . . . and will STILL pop in every now and then, or stop and watch if you catch them on TV.
Ranker.com has a list of ‘The Most Re-Watchable Movies of All Time,’ and “Forrest Gump” is #1.
Here’s the Top 10:
1. “Forrest Gump”
2. “Back to the Future”
3. “Star Wars: A New Hope”
4. “Jurassic Park”
5. “The Princess Bride”
6. “Raiders of the Lost Ark”
7. “Die Hard”
8. “Groundhog Day”
9. “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back”
10. “The Shawshank Redemption”
Not surprisingly, “Schindler’s List” did NOT crack the Top 10. It’s so heavy it’s hard to endure a first time. But incredibly, it DID make the list. It’s #975 . . . a few slots BEHIND the Nicolas Cage / Cher movie “Moonstruck” and the boring-looking Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes movie “The Reader”.
But it’s actually MORE re-watchable than “St. Elmo’s Fire”, which is #978 . . . “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” (#980) . . . and “Norbit” (#1004).
