Annuals
Jeremy points out his list of Annuals, those movies that cry out -- nay, demand -- a ritualized, repeat viewing at least once a year. And as I pointed out in the comments that I pin a good chunk of the blame for at least some of my particular Annuals on his shoulders, I started to think about what those Annuals might be.
In no particular order: SNEAKERS SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER PRINCE OF DARKNESS THE THING EXORCIST III OVERBOARD BLAZING SADDLES THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER SUPERMAN EL DORADO THE ABYSS NORTH BY NORTHWEST EVENT HORIZON THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT I'm sure I'll think of more later, but those are the most obvious ones, the ones that find their way into my DVD player year after year or get TiVoed whenever they're on the boob tube (excepting only OVERBOARD, which somehow always finds me and sucks me in. That movie is like gum on your shoe: once on, it follows you around and never comes off...) There are certainly others, tied to holidays (such as A CHRISTMAS STORY), but I decided that only the Halloween flicks merited repeat viewings in their own right, so they're on while others are off. And I almost put A FEW GOOD MEN on there, over THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT, but for some reason I gravitate more towards the beta version of THE WEST WING than I do the legal tomfoolery of Smiling Jack Ross... You?
