I wouldn't mind going to the movies if it weren't 8 bucks a person. It's pretty frustrating to say the least. Anyway, I think the movies I end up rewatching the most are probably Amelie, its been on tv a lot lately, Anchorman and we see a lot of Avengers at the house. Redbox is always good for renting though, I hope that doesn't die out any time soon.
I suppose that means which one I go back to watch, over and over again, huh?
Tough question, there are so many........and in more ways than one, too! I mean, I have the consumer market DVD's and then I have the conversion DVD's made from the VHS tapes. Hence, in the Ryan O'Neal theme to our beloved founder, I do go back every so often and watch "The Thief Who Came To Dinner", but the DVD is the working copy from the VHS tape.
So, let's break it up, by theme, best boy, best girl, and that one movie one goes back to, over and over again, just for a certain scene. And by original DVD and conversion.

One really special gem is Used Cars (1980) starring Kurt Russell. Columbia made the mistake of releasing it too close to Flying High (Leslie Nielsen). Everyone went to see Flying High and overlooked Used Cars. The few people that did see it loved it!
