I agree. I've watched it so many times since it hit cable, but I haven't seen "Planet Terror" since seeing in the theaters.
Heck, I quote "Death Proof" all the time.
I have lots of these kinds of movies:
Chronicles of Riddick

I love this thread because you know that many were chosen because they were played on cable a million times and they grew on you.
I have to agree with:
12:01
The Cell
Congo "Stop eating my sesame cake!"
Mahogany - Diana Ross at her campy best.
Xanadu - Way before it was "chic" this was a movie I owned on VHS and watched.
Grease 2 - I like it better than the first, which I know is just wrong!
Lady in the Water - when I first saw it I loathed it, but I watch everytime it comes on cable.
Hard Target - I watch and enjoy this movie more than I should.
Billy Madison - I never tire of it.
My latest obsession is the movie Bug. Something about it compels me to keep checking it out.

^ I loved the play version of 'Bug' but from what I've heard about the movie, it's very different (I haven't seen it), and significently less nudity of the two lead characters.

I hated Eyes Wide Shut when I saw it theatrically, but in subsequent viewings it has taken over a part of my brain. I find myself thinking about it sometimes when there's absolutely no obvious reason to do so. Earlier this year, I even broke down and bought Arthur Schnitzler's Dream Story, the novella upon which it was based.
A recent contender for this list is The Matador starring Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear. I was curious about it from the trailer, was one of maybe 19 people in the entire world who actually paid admission to see it during its theatrical run and have fallen more in love with it with each subsequent DVD viewing. Great fun, a lot of nuances and very captivating performances.
Also, now that Christopher Nolan has resuscitated the Batman franchise, I suppose I can admit that every now and again I indulge in a repeat viewing of Batman & Robin. I can't even say what it is about the movie I like, other than the production design is so horrific I get caught up in the dizzyingly bright colors and I thought Alicia Silverstone was actually a good casting choice for Batgirl.

Hey, I just watched Cutter's Way a few weeks ago. Really, really great flick.
As someone mentioned before, this topic is quite nice for filling up the ol' Netflix queue.
Lots I've seen, but plenty others I haven't...

Glad I could help you out. Everything about this movie just works for me. Love the soundtrack too. Saw this in the theater wayyyy back in the day. Love the 'gritty revenge'.

YES. One of my favorites, like a dramatic Lebowski. Inspired the script I wrote (and am now revising) too.
Another one I wish I knew more people who liked it:
My favorite Bill Murray movie other than Ghostbusters, and infinitely quotable. "You're becoming Ralph Kramden's evil twin!"

Forgot about this one, which I really love. When I was younger, we had 4 VHS tapes, which my brother and I would cycle through on a daily basis during summer vacations or sick days. Wayne's World, Jurassic Park, Batman, and No Escape.
