These are the movies that you've put on over and over and over and over. Not once, not ten times, but 50 times, 60 times, a hundred times or more, even if just in the background.
Several years ago I lived with a guy who had a substantial VHS collection and one of the films in that collection was The Replacement Killers. We didn't have cable so unless it was just going to be quiet in the apartment, you had to have a movie going (or music, but I didn't do a ton of that). And The Replacement Killers was the movie I'd put on when I just wanted something going in the background while I did other shit.
Or another example: I've mentioned a few times on here that I used to be a shift leader at Hollywood Video. Well at night when I had to lock myself in the office and count the money so we could close up, I'd always put Way of the Gun on and let it play in the background.
I've talked to a lot of other people who have a regular movie, or movies, that they will play while they're trying to sleep, or put on in the background while they're doing other shit, or will watch over and over because it brings them some kind of comfort or sense of security (on this last part, I used to have a friend who would watch episodes of The Office over and over for that reason).
So what's up? Who here has a movie like this?
