What are some of yours?
 
Holy Mackeral, I could make a similar list. I'll have to think this one over
 
I've always had a problem calling pretty much anything a "favorite" because that can change from day to day.
That said, there are some movies that I think back fondly on but I don't really have the urge to watch again and there are others that consciously I don't think I like as much as the former, but that I can watch over and over and never get bored.
I'm going to list some of the movies that I can watch over and over:

Aliens
Goodfellas
Tombstone
Dazed and Confused
Lord of the Rings trilogy
The Empire Strikes Back
Jason Bourne Trilogy (and even the Jeremy Renner sequel The Bourne Legacy)
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
The Wrath of Khan
Moneyball

I'm noticing a theme of minimal/moderate intellectual energy expenditure. That's my ADHD working. I need to prepare myself for 2 hours of brainpower energy.
