Just got back from the boozer and I'm channel hoping, Pulp Fiction is on the telly which got me thinking what movies could you never get tired of watching?
Blazing Saddles, Airplane, True Romance, Goodfellas, The Departed, Midnight Meat Train, The Life Of Brian, Back To The Future 1-3,Alien, Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day
Mel Brooks: High Anxiety, and Young Frankenstein. Monty Python: The Life of Brian. Airplane. Caddyshack. Mary Poppins. The Shining. Platoon. Blue Velvet. Smokey and the Bandit. Pink Floyd The Wall. Vacation. Christmas Vacation. (All of the) Pink Panther movies(w Peter Sellers). Walk Hard (The Dewy Cox Story). Jeremiah Johnson. Little Big Man. Dances with Wolves. Rocky 2. The Great Race. (yes, I know it has a Pie fight and mud scenes, but it's still one of the best movies of all time.)
First and foremost, any of the Back to the Future trilogy; I will never tire of watching these.
Also: The Princess Bride Goodfellas Caddyshack The Money Pit The Great Outdoors Planes, Trains and Automobiles
None of them would rank as the greatest films ever made; I can think of any number of other films that I've really enjoyed and thought at the end, "Wow, what a great film!"

Young Frankenstein was the first DVD i bought. Monty Python and Pink Floyyd were fantastic for different reason. Iv'e heard Blue Velvet is good and on my list to watch.

They're just all eminently rewatchable.
PT&A is a good shout a classic movie that's on every Christmas and makes you really think. I loved the Money Pit as kid as you really root for him!
Glad to see someone mention The Princess Bride! That's a classic. And of course Star Wars 4-6, although I have to confess that I'm a heretic and I like A New Hope more than Empire. I'll add a few more, too:
O Brother, Where Art Thou Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Fight Club Spirited Away National Treasure (one of my wife's go-tos lol)

Dr. Strangelove Pink Floyd the Wall T2 Pulp Fiction Full Metal Jacket Starship Troopers (Fascism in Space!) Fight Club Inglorious Bastards Cold Pursuit (the most recent entry to the list)
These movies sit equally as my favorites, I cannot rate one over another.
My continual rewatch list includes: Pulp Fiction Shawshank Redemption Kindergarten Cop Uncle Buck Strange Days The Departed Office Space Planes Trains and Automobiles Weird Science Ocean's 11/12/13 Natural Born Killers The Big Lebowski National Lampoon's Vacation trilogy Airplane Princess Bride Big Trouble in Little China
My brother and I have postulated that Airplane is perhaps the perfect execution of comedy cinema. It covers everything from sight gags, to parody, word play and everything else that makes a comedy movie good.
Memento (my favorite movie EVER) Ratatouille (my favorite Pixar movie) Turning Red Soul Captain America: Civil War Blazing Saddles The Princess Bride The Shawshank Redemption Inglourious Basterds Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Pulp Fiction The Quiet Man Shadow Of A Doubt The Birds Die Hard Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban LOTR: The Two Towers SW Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith SW Episode IV: A New Hope SW Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back SW Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
I'm sure that there are more, but those are the ones I remembered off the top of my head.
Definitely go through phases, but here it goes (and for what it's worth, 80% of them would also make Mrs Bee's list):
Repo Man* (personal all-time fave) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Spirited Away Primer Sin City 2001: A Space Odyssey Close Encounters of the Third Kind Alien Warriors The Thing (Carpenter's) Inglorious Basterds & Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Spy Tropic Thunder Caddyshack, Weird Science, Animal House, Blazing Saddles, Office Space (I have these pretty much memorized) Shaolin Soccer & Kung Fu Hustle Emperor's New Groove Blade Runner Donnie Darko Scanners & Videodrome 24 Hour Party People Dazed and Confused
