My immediate reply is "The Sting", and I have the movie poster over my desk to prove it

I'm not a big movie person, but the ones I can watch more than once, in no particular order:

Chicken Run
The Philadelphia Story
My Fair Lady
1776 (really, I'm just a history nerd)
Airplane
Costume dramas, especially Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle

The Scarlet Pimpernel with Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour in the lead roles. This is the 1982 version--the other movie versions aren't as good, IMO.

I also love That Touch of Mink (Doris Day/Cary Grant) and Lover Come Back and Pillow Talk (Doris Day/Rock Hudson).

Some others I can watch over and over:
Steel Magnolias
Dirty Dancing
Last of the Mohicans
