And of these the ones I would probably not rewatch are This is England, The English Patient, Under the Skin and 24 Hour Party People.

I have Barry Lyndon and The Go-Between recorded and have yet to see them.

 

But it brings to mind which films do we consider are rewatchable regardless of whether they are Hollywood or any other studio, and also regardless of time period.

[Starlord]

No Holy Grail?  No Hot Fuzz?  Bad list!  Bad!

 

From the list I'd go with:

 

Shaun of the Dead

Four Weddings and a Funeral

Prisoner of Azkaban (although I think Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix are better)

Skyfall

Children of Men

[Tjack]

  I’m with Starlord on Monty Python & the Holy Grail,  and I’d like to include Love Actually.

[mattingly]

As an underdog, I'd also nominate: The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain

 

[Cancer]

Hm.  Oh, What a Lovely War! never made it into movie form, just play.

It did but it was a 1969 film so was never considered for this.

[Bazza]

Happy Quadrophenia made the list.

I am not sure why this was ignored. A separate thread maybe ?
