(disclaimer: I have obscure tastes in film)

I made up a list, then I pared it down to “Things I could watch over and over forever” (alphabetically):

Amelie
The Big Lebowski
Casablanca
Once Upon A Time In The West
Whale Rider

Others came to mind:

By star (with favorites in parentheses)
Alan Arkin (Wait Until Dark, The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming!, Little Miss Sunshine)
Cary Grant (His Girl Friday, Arsenic And Old Lace, The Awful Truth, To Catch A Thief)
Audrey Hepburn (Wait Until Dark, Breakfast At Tiffanys)
Grace Kelly (Dial M For Murder, To Catch A Thief, Rear Window)
Paul Newman (The Long Hot Summer, Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler)
Parker Posey (Henry Fool, Best In Show, A Mighty Wind)
Peter Sellers (The Party, Dr. Strangelove, Being There)

By director
Clint Eastwood (Unforgiven, Mystic River)
Alfred Hitchcock (especially those with Cary Grant, James Stewart and Grace Kelly)
Peter Jackson (Dead Alive, Forgotten Silver, Heavenly Creatures)
Sergio Leone (all of them)
George Romero (Night Of The Living Dead, Dawn Of The Dead)

By writer
David Mamet (State And Main, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Spanish Prisoner)
Hal Hartley (Simple Men, Henry Fool) [I put him here because it’s his writing that stands out most to me]


I thought of making a list of films that everyone else seems to like but that I can't bear to watch. Perhaps that's for another thread....
