It's Day 14 of the writing challenge: "Post your favorite movies that you never get tired of watching."

I love movies and I love finding movies that I can watch over and over again. I re-watch movies for varying reasons, usually to either make me laugh, make me cry, or to fire me up. I decided to break my list into the following four categories: Comedies (movies that make me laugh every time), Dramas (either tear jerkers or ass kicking movies), Epics (movies or series of movies that you need to set aside a certain amount of time to enjoy), and finally, Animated (something for the kid in all of us). They're listed in alphabetical order.
Comedies
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
- A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
- Much Ado About Nothing (1993)
- The Princess Bride (1987)
- Young Frankenstein (1974)
Dramas
- An Affair to Remember (1957)
- Amadeus (1984)

- Sense and Sensibility (1995)

Epics

- Indiana Jones franchise (but only Raiders (1981) and Last Crusade (1989); not a fan of the other 2)

- Pride and Prejudice (1995)
- Star Wars franchise (but only New Hope (1977), Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi) (1983)

Great list! The directors cut of Amadeus is on Amazon Prime right now! One of my favorites :-)
Seriously?!?!? Too cool. It sounds like the perfect Sunday movie.
It includes deleted scenes, I was blown away since I've seen the "other" version a billion times lol.
