Ghostbusters is probably the single movie I can quote from one end to the other.
That and maybe Robocop.

Napoleon Dynamite, loved that movie in High school and it's been a comfort movie ever since. Funny and easily quotable, it's a staple in my house.
Just imagine you're weightless, in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by tiny little seahorses.

graveyard of the fireflies.
i don't usually rewatch, but if the plane has it, i challenge myself. again. and again.
this time, i won't cry
.......but why? (à la Ryan Reynolds in "Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle") Some movies are one-and-done, and that is near the top of that list for me.
The M from S&M.

I used to fall asleep to John dies at the end for awhile so partial watches that wins hands down. But actually watching the whole movie probably lord of the rings or young Frankenstein.
Home Alone. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I don't really rewatch movies anymore. There is so much content out there that I haven't watched, I would rather see something new than just rewatch something that I've already seen.
The Other Guys. At first glance, it's a buddy cop comedy that harkens back to Lethal Weapon, but with humor typical to ~2010. But, the more you watch it, the more Zucker brothers esque, 1980s surrealist comedy influences you notice. One of the most subtly weird and funny movies to me, I've probably seen it, no lie, 10 or 15 times.
I have played Wonka multiple times a day, every day at my house since it released for streaming.
I don't smoke much weed anymore,but when I do, I watch The pick of destiny or Dude where's my car
Joe vs the Volcano
It's the first movie I remember going to see (at a drive-in theater when I was 7). It was kind of a flop when it came out, but it's achieved a certain cult status for its surprisingly deep philosophy on fear, self-realization, and facing mortality.
I haven't seen it a million times (3-4, maybe?), but the word "flibbertigibbet" lives in my head rent free

That movie was certainly ahead of its time on the whole brain cloud thing
Ever? Probably Return of the Jedi
Maybe Revenge of the Sith, but I'm pretty sure it's Return of the Jedi
Honestly it might be Finding Nemo. I think it was the first DVD we had and my younger sister was obsessed with it, so I'd watch it a lot with her. Things I'd watch at my own accord it's probably LOTR or Harry Potter though.
There was a period of time in middle school where I was obsessed with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Definitely not my favorite film anymore (not even my favorite Monty Python film), but since I don't really rewatch things nowadays it maintains its record.
Unless you count the one of the Disney movies my baby sister watched 3 times a day every day for months.
Star Wars
The Matrix
Kill Bill
Probably my top 3. Airplane!
Another entry for me would be "Robin Hood (1973)". I haven't rewatched it in a long time, but as kids we (my brother and me) wanted to watch that movie over and over again. I've seen it more than ten times at least.
WALL-E
Probably Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation since it has been tradition every holiday season.
As a kid, Rescuer's Down Under or The Paper Brigade was re-watched a lot.
Apart from that, it's a close tie for:
- The Matrix
- Sin City
- The Chronicles of Riddick
- Terminator 2
- The Sandlot
- I, Robot
- Joe Dirt
Just good replay value.

Maybe Lawrence of Arabia or Tora Tora Tora!.
EDIT: The Back to the Future trilogy and the original three Star Wars movies are probably up there too.
Your Name / 君の名は
I use it for language learning, watching things repeatedly is very useful for picking up on new words and grammar!

The Princess Bride. It's such a fun adventure that still holds up really well today.
I still need to watch this, thank you for reminding me.
Lord of the Rings.
"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. "
Queue the goosebumps, we're in for a hell of a ride.
That one is probably up there for me when it comes to total watch time (and we combine all 3 movies).
I've seen all 3 in the theatric release initially and after that I've watched through the extended editions 2 times. That's like 30h+ at least.
Same, except I snatched up both the theater and extended the minute they came out and have watched through them all numerous times. As well as now watched a lot of reaction videos for them, which I guess counts too. It's fun to reexperience the first time through someone else's eyes.

Honestly, it's probably Little Nicky for me. I do enjoy the movie myself, but back in my highschool days my main group of friends I would hang out and smoke weed with could always agree on this movie. If anyone would complain about what someone else wanted to watch too much, or none of us had a good idea for anything else, we would usually just throw Little Nicky on and be happy enough. I'll still watch every now and then even though I could recite the thing by rote.
