Easy-Watching : Or What Are the Most Enjoyable Films?
What are some classic "good" films? I don't mean classics like "Casablanca" and "Lawrence of Arabia." I mean all around good ones that you can watch over and over.
Anything from "Die Hard" to "The Princess Bride" I'm just curious. What are people's most watched films?

No, by all means "Lawrence" is one of my favorite films of all time. I guess I'm referring to less epic films. Personal favorites that don't have to be classics, that sort of thing.

Back to the Future doesn't seem to get old for me.

The Fugitive and Mission: Impossible. They're good choices when you don't know what you want to watch, and it's hard not to re-watch them whenever they're on TV.

The two easiest watching films for me are Fight Club and The Departed. I can watch either of those in any mood.

Master and Commander; The Far Side of the World
The Matrix The Outlaw Josey Wales Iron Man (especially the first two acts) Zulu Seasons One and Two of CSI (the original) Seasons One and Two of Alias (although I would love to have seen them work Gina Torres' character into Season One, also) I'm sure there are others, but it's only 6:30am and I'm on my first cup of coffee.
