Movies Worth Buying

There are movies worth seeing at the theater and renting on video. Maybe 1 out of 10 movies that come out are actually worth owning(movies you could watch again and again). These are a few of mine that come to mind.
Donnie Darko
Rules of Attraction
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle
The Shawhank Redemption
Super Troopers
Fight Club
Shaun of the Dead
The Matrix
Pulp Fiction
Half Baked
American Psycho
Final Destination 1 & 2(guilty pleasures)
Boondock Saints
Frailty

Anyone else have their own list?

its all about replay value. mr show is prob has the highest replay value for me. and they have really funny commentaries

Ok, here's my list:

• The Life Aquatic
• Bottle Rocket
• Easy Rider
• Fargo
• Rocky I
• The Silence of the Lambs
• Taxi Driver
• Godfather II
• Raging Bull
• The Usual Suspects
• Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
• Se7en
• The Bridge on the River Kwai
• The Shining
• Annie Hall
• The Big Lebowski
• 8½
• American Beauty
• A Bronx Tale
• Casino

Edit to add a few more I forgot

here's my list of purchased movies that have been watched over and over again:

• boys don't cry
• pi
• donnie darko
• dazed and confused
• se7en
• gone in 60 seconds
• foxfire
• gia
• fight club
• empire records
• natural born killers
• office space
• garden state
• girl interrupted
• falling down
• the secretary

My five most watched DVDs are probably:

Heat
Casino
Spinal Tap
Casablanca
The Big Lebowski

For me, there is a difference between movies worth buying and favorite movies. My two favorite movies, Lawrence of Arabia and Brazil, I only watch every once in a while. Lawrence of Arabia I will only watch on the big screen. But then there are films that have good replay value, and these are definitely worth owning. To me, a film with good replay value usually means that I can find something new in the movie on each viewing. Directors who are obsessed with details, like Gilliam and Scorsese, are good examples of this.
