Everybody has a favorite film, but those aren’t always ones that are easy to watch. Sometimes they’re too long, too scary, or too enthralling to watch every day. There’s another category of movies that is better equipped for day-to-day watching. Now, most of these movies are pretty good too. They’re also great to watch over and over. They never get old.
This kind of movie is almost always entertaining. It’s hard to watch serious, airless dramas over and over again. An element of humor keeps things light without removing all of the dramatic tension. The movies that are the easiest to re-watch combine elements of drama and comedy to create an experience that is well-balanced, and engaging without becoming draining. Of course, there are some exceptions to this rule, and there are some films that might be missing from this list that can be found on our list of the most re-watchable movies of all time. With that in mind, here are 3 Movies You Can Watch Every Day And Not Get Tired of.
1.Star Wars (Episode IV -- A New Hope)
This was an easy pick. Star Wars made insane amounts of money in theaters for a reason. It was completely mesmerizing at the time, and it still carries much of that magic today. There’s a reason The Force Awakens shared more than a passing resemblance with it. Star Wars established a formula that works, and it’s perhaps the defining movie experience in cinema, at least for a generation of eager movie-goers.
Star Wars is also virtuous in a way movies rarely are-- in that it knows when to end. The story is exactly as long as it needs to be, and it tells a story that doesn’t worry about setting up a sequel. Obviously, one came, but Star Wars is a great enough experience to be enjoyed on its own terms, sequels be damned. The sequels are great, sure, but Star Wars is still the most enduring entry in the series, and with good reason.
2.Titanic
Titanic is a juggernaut, and even today it’s hard to argue that it isn’t a seminal film. What’s often lost about Titanic, because of the weight with which it is now examined, is how much fun it is to watch. The story of Jack and Rose falling in love inevitably ends in tragedy, but that’s mitigated in part by the fact that it feels inevitable inside of a movie named after a sinking ship.
For most of its runtime, Titanic is fun and fairly light. It’s the story of two incredibly charismatic and attractive people falling in love, and it’s one that millions around the world fell in love with. The last hour or so, everything after the ship hits the iceberg, is as thrilling as anything that Hollywood has ever produced. Of course, they both could have fit on that plank that Rose was hogging, but minor quibbles aside, Titanic is a movie we could watch for days.
3.The Lion King
Disney’s run of success in the '90s is among the best from a studio in film history, and that run reached its peak with 1994’s The Lion King, a film that perfectly combined every element in the Disney formula. The music is fantastic, anchored by “The Circle of Life”, which remains one of the great Disney songs of all-time. On top of that, you have an animated version of Hamlet that manages to capture the core of what makes that play so powerful.
The tragedy of Mufasa’s loss and the guilt that Simba feels are both very real, but they aren’t so terribly emotional that the film becomes unwatchable. Instead, they create a level of investment in the viewer that makes you care about the outcome. The Lion King is a powerful story about what it means to grieve, and how you move past a loss. Even better, it’s also hilarious, especially when Timon and Pumba are on screen.
