As a kid? (0-18)

1. Toy Story
2. Toy Story 2
3. Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets - broke the VHS from overplaying it and forced my family to buy a DVD player
4. Finding Nemo - first DVD my family ever bought
5. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

As an adult (18+), based on my Letterboxd activity

1. Lady Bird
2. Local Hero
3. Barbie
4. Knives Out
5. Manchester By the Sea
 
I tend to not rewatch the films I really enjoy because I'm worried about them not hitting the same on a rewatch.

So I find my most watched films are easy to watch films that I enjoy but wouldn't consider my favourites of all time:

Die Hard
Terminator
Airplane (to be fair this is probably is one of my favourites)
Mike Bassett England Manager. (This felt like a documentary and a must watch for years when a tournament used to roll around with how outdated England used to be. It finally and thankfully feels dated now)

I really need to watch more films to be honest.
 
Cliffhanger (as someone said die hard already).
Seven
Lost In Translation
Shawshank
Enemy of the State

Not my fave 5 but infinitely rewatchable and I've tried not to be cool.

Also, who rewatches Manchester by the sea? @youngbob Not enough sadness in your life already?

Looking for a bit of inspiration here as a lot of recent films have been so poor.

Not necessarily the best films, but the ones that you've watched the most. Might highlight some hidden gems.

For what it's worth mine are:

Red Dog
Goodfellas
The Sound of Music
24 Hour Party People
Amélie

I've watched them all a few times. Many more and as soon as I post this, I will regret not picking another five, then another five.
