What movies do you watch once a year?
ADVERTS 1
This would tend to be lists of movies you intentionally watch at least once-a-year, as opposed to movies that draw you in over and over (titles may overlap)...
My list, off the top of my head, in no particular order:
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Saving Private Ryan
Taking Chance
The Sound of Music
A Christmas Carol (TNT version)
Tombstone
The Princess Bride
Apollo 13
The Natural
Open Range
The Sting
That's off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others...Average Joe

Interesting... there are no movies that I watch every year, and almost every movie that I have watched more than once, was for the purpose of showing it to my son.
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.
However, I do listen to some musical works repeatedly, and we listen to The Messiah by Handel every Christmas day.
Of course, all this is just personal taste - Have a great holidays whatever you do !In San Francisco Bay ! - Louis Vuitton Cup: 04 July – 1 September 2013 ; America’s Cup Match (Finals): 7-22 September 2013

Forgot about Family Man. Good choice, and I'll have to put it on my list for this year.

White Christmas was definitely worth the BD upgrade.
However, Christmas Vacation and Christmas Story were not. Christmas Vacation is a very soft transfer and I can scarcely notice the difference between the DVD and BR version. I am keeping Christmas Story as DVD because it is shot intentionally soft focus and when I saw the BR in the store, realized there was really nothing to gain by going blue.
