The reason ? There are still so many movies that I have not seen - such as the majority listed in posts above - so watching the same movie again prevents me from being able to see a new one.

Also, a lot of movies have a linear story, which loses something when you know the outcome - admittedly, some movies still have worthwhile qualities regardless of that.

I'm with you--just not enough time in the day for me to watch the classics over and over along with movies I haven't seen, especially since I watch a lot of sports and play video games. I guess it would be different if I had children with whom I had developed a tradition of watching certain movies together.

However, one movie I try to catch on basic cable (even if it's only in part) each holiday season is "Elf." Cracks me up every time.
I could also see myself watching the LOTR trilogy once a year (as I did when it first came out).
Presently I've been making an annual habit of replaying "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" on the PS3.

The only one I can think of is "A Christmas Story".
