The best way to determine this is to decide which fillums you would always watch however many repeats.

For me:

Blade runner

Serenity

Harry Potter

From Dusk till Dawn

Alien (any)

Seven and One Flew over the Cuckoos nest are brill films , but I've only managed to watch Seven once - too psychological for me.

Shawshank Redemption

As good as it Gets

Mister Roberts

Goodfellas

There are loads more - depends on my mood that day!

I've definitely seen Hard Boiled. I think I've seen Infernal Afairs too. I'm a big fan of Hong Kong cinema, especially Jackie Chan's earlier movies.

1) What Dreams May Come

2) Days Of Heaven

3) The Fall

4) Wings Of Desire

5) Blue Velvet

...but I'd be mourning the loss of probably about 50 others that could have almost made it on that list... my latest fave being Interstellar

I must confess I've got a soft spot for really crap films (probably comes from my love of David Lynch) my all time favourite crap porno is Body Love as my copy has both english and swedish language on it which confuses the heck out of it and added on top is a hard synth soundtrack from Klaus Schulze which just doesn't fit in the slightest. Its the kind of film my younger self would've necked a load of the weird stuff and revelled in getting off my head to it

Good choices!

I went for Badlands over Days of Heaven but it was a close call.

Wings of Desire is wonderful - also considered Paris Texas....
