I think it would be a tie between the following for me -

(a) Schindler's List
(b) Gandhi

I remember the first time I got my hands on the Schindler's List DVD - watched it about 7 times throughout a long weekend. Itzhak Perlman's violin rendition chokes me up every single time I watch it.

For some reason, any movie that revolves around one person's life or shows man at his best is the one I watch again and again. So there's -

Forrest Gump
Chariots of Fire
Cast Away
Philadelphia
The Shawshank Redemption
There will be blood

and a couple others that I've watched at least a dozen times each.

Back in the days when I was young and unattached and a total geek (the first 2 are no longer true, but the third one still is) I went to see Star Wars MANY MANY times. Not sure how many, but I stopped counting at 20. Probably topped out at 25 or so - and have seen it a half dozen times since then.

Probably either the Shawshank Redemption because it is the only movie I can watch over and over again without getting sick of it or Road Trip because when I first got a DVD player it was the only DVD I had forever and I use to watch over and over again.

To Sir, With Love.

And yes, I always get choked up at the scene where Sidney Potier's (Sir's) class tranforms themselves into mature adults and buy him a present. When he bites his lower lip...the tears start welling up.
