Movies You Watch Over & Over Again...

Even when you have no real idea why you love them..... Defending Your Life.

Okay, I do have a list of these on the web here, but I just added the last one because I just watched it again. It's really a stupid movie in a lot of ways...and I must have seen it about ten-twenty times. (I'm not kidding. It comes on HBO all the time and I watch it every single time I catch it). I'm not saying I've watched it from start to finish each time-- this time I just caught the last twenty minutes or so. But I'm sitting here with wet eyelashes cause the last scene makes me tear up-- it's so cool.

I am not really recommending this if you're cynical. Or if you don't, sort of, at least half believe in soul mates & maybe even past lives. But it's a funny movie, and Albert Brooks is such an unlikely romantic lead. Meryl Streep plays the brave unapologetic woman in the female lead so well. I want to be more like her character in real life-- not afraid to enjoy the pasta that comes my way, to be brave enough to save my children's (and my cat's) lives, and to be funny & happy.

OOh. And now they're about to put Planes, Trains, and Automobiles on, too. Another one I would watch a billion times. I love Steve Martin's portrayals of the "stiff necked" yuppie. He does it with such grace, and that look like his underware is pinching someplace tender when he's uncomfortable. :)

What movies do you feel that way about?
