October: The Nightmare Before Christmas
December: A Christmas Story
I have a small BD collection of movies that I love and watch them over and over so no need to list them.
I do watch all 29 episodes of Twin Peaks every October. It is a tradition since first taping them off TV.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
In December, obviously.
While there may be others I catch once a year, this is the only one I set out to do deliberately.

I don't watch any movies, even my favourite ones, on anywhere close to an annual basis. There's just to much else to watch/do.

The Paramount Theater in Austin has a summer movie series and Lawrence of Arabia is shown at the end of it, around Labor Day. It's been that way for the past 10 years at least.

Wolf of Wall Street
Big Short
Scrooged
Santa Clause 2
Sorry to Bother You
There Will Be Blood
Spiderverse films (assume it’ll be the case with the 2nd)
The Muppet Movie
I could see Big Short falling off this list but feel confident I’ll continue to watch the rest at least once a year for the next decade or so.

I feel like I used to watch a lot more movies over and over when I was in my 20s. Over the last 15 or 20 years my constant viewing of the same handful of movies has really gone down.

Me too. I chalk the reason for this being streaming and the Turner Classic Movie channel. Most of my viewing is catching up on stuff I've never seen before (pre-1990's movies, foreign films). Compared to 20 years ago, I have a wider selection instead of the same twenty or thirty DVDs over and over.

Yeah most of these are because of my kids and the holidays, but we watch
Elf
Home Alone 1 and 2(and then they usually want to watch the rest but ugh)
Nightmare Before Christmas
My Neighbor Totoro
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Darth Vader cartoon which I know isn't a movie and the Jim Carrey live action one)
and I try to sneak in Transformers the Movie (1986) for purely selfish reasons.
