The first two movies on this list fall into that elite category of film – along with such epics as Die Hard, Scarface, and The Godfather – that are infinitely re-watchable and that – when you happen upon one while cruising through the channels at midnight – you will invariably find yourself saying, “This is fine…”
The others are also wonderful, of course. And there are a dozen others that almost made the list. But these are my favorites:
- Saving Private Ryan – 1998
- Apollo 13 – 1995
- Tie: Catch Me If You Can – 2002 / Cast Away – 2000
- The ’Burbs – 1989
- Tie: The Man with One Red Shoe – 1985 / The Money Pit – 1986
