The Princess Bride
Considering I just began this site, I should start by providing an example of just what ranks among the stratosphere of infinitely rewatchable movies, and there's just no better example than The Princess Bride. It has everything. Adventure, comedy, fantasy, true love, inconceivable sword fights, Cliffs of Insanity, R.O.U.S., Billy Crystal in heavy makeup... and even all that's just scratching the surface. Rob Reiner's 1987 flick unfortunately did poorly in theatres, but once it made it to video, it became a sensation. And growing up with parents who entertained people all the time, this was the default choice when we wanted to watch a movie.
Of course, The Princess Bride only gets better with each successive viewing. It's a movie you can watch again right after it ends because it's just that much more fun when you know what's coming up. I can't recommend this film enough. In complete honesty, I have rewatched this movie over 60 times... and I love it more each viewing.
Don't rent this movie. Buy it. I can't put this strongly enough...
Buy The Princess Bride if you do not already own it!
And one last note: if you don't like this movie, you might as well stop reading this site. The Princess Bride encapsolates all the values of rewatchability in the most fun hour and thirty-eight minutes possible.
The bottom line: Infinitely Rewatchable
