I remember, back in the Stone Age, when the ā€œMillion Dollar Movieā€ show was on two or three timas a day, every day. They would show the same movie for a whole week. When they had the first Godzilla movie on, I must have seen it at least 10 times that week. šŸ˜ƒ I also saw the movie ā€œYankee Doodle Dandyā€ for an entire week on ā€œMillion Dollar Movieā€. :o
 
Here are some of mines though a few since they are on others lists:p

Seventh Seal
Seven Samurai
Yojimbo
Million Dollar Baby (the ending I didnā€™t enjoy, although over all a good story line)
Boondock Saints
Escape from New York
Road to Peredition
Saving Private Ryan

Thats all that comes to mind at the moment.

Also interested if any of you have seen the Bible/movies from WatchWORD parable.com/thebiblechannel/page_translation.htm (not to be confused with Watchtower).

I have two favorites:

ā€œYou keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.ā€
