Moulin Rouge
Love Actually
Pride and Prejudice (BBC)
About Time
Ghostbusters
Ferris Bueller
Aladdin
Princess Bride

Honorable mentions go to 10 Things I Hate about You, Children of Men, Defiance, and the Daniel Craig Bond films.

ETA: and Silence of the Lambs, and Easy A... I'm cutting myself off now, otherwise I'd keep coming up with more.

[erbear]

1. Almost Famous
2. Remember the Titans
3. Mean Girls
4. Forrest Gump
5. A League of Their Own
6. Dirty Dancing
7. So I Married An Axe Murderer
8. Legally Blonde

I can't pick just 10. I keep thinking of more. Here's 20:

Empire Records
Center Stage
The Sandlot
My Girl
Remember The Titans
Armageddon
Dante's Peak
Love Actually
Hook
Crash
Easy A
10 Things I Hate About You
Newsies
Now and Then
13 Going on 30
Clueless
Pitch Perfect
The Wedding Singer
Titanic
Hocus Pocus

[Deleted]

I can't believe no one has said "My Best Friends Wedding"!

"I can be hello!" "You're never gonna be jello!"

I'm off to buy this movie. I can't believe I don't own it.

[niq]

In rough order:

The Departed
Finding Forrester (DON'T JUDGE ME!)
Star Wars
The Matrix
A League of their Own
Event Horizon
House of Flying Daggers
Naked Gun 2 1/2
Black Swan
Snatch

The last two is where things get fuzzy: depending on mood, like 20 different movies could go there.

I'm not sure how to count franchises. Like Empire and maybe Jedi would be in the top 10 on their own. And I liked the Matrix sequels but probably not that much.

Oh good, now that I read the thread so many movies that barely didn't make it. Superbad, Scott Pilgrim, Zombieland, A Few Good Men (again don't judge), Kick-Ass, how does my list have no Coen brothers? Bourne, Etc.

[magpie]

The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski

Okay, for real:
The Big Lebowski
The 400 Blows (I feel like a tool posting a french new wave film, but I swear, I'm not trying to be a snooty asshole, I just really love this movie)
Pulp Fiction
Say Anything
High Fidelity (I feel like these two are connected...like High Fidelity is Lloyd Dobler growed up and bitter after a bad breakup with Diane Court)
Bridget Jones Diary
Singing in the Rain
Clueless
The Long Goodbye
The Shining (though it's too scary for me and I regret watching it every time I do...but keep coming back every couple of years!)

[awkwardpenguin]

The Royal Tenenbaums
The Big Lebowski
The Usual Suspects
Amelie
Heathers
Napoleon Dynamite
The Shawshank Redemption
The Princess Bride
Oceans Eleven

I feel like the 10th slot is hard to fill! So many possibilities.

[h]

awkwardpenguin -- Heathers is a good call! I have not re-watched it in years and now I want to!

Not enough people know about that movie! I love it so much, I spent $30 on the VHS about six years ago, because I couldn't find it on dvd. (It is now available on dvd.) Keith Gordon was so cute. And now, I'm going to go listen to Invincible...

Like so many others--this is a list of movies I can watch over and over again and love them more and more.  I could easily add/subtract based on the day--I've seen Gone with the Wind and the Philadelphia Story many, many times (though I think I actually prefer the musical High Society version of the story simply because I adore musicals, I really love It happened One Night, I enjoy several Hitchcocks, etc etc).
