Recreating the Most Rewatchable Movies of All Time

What movie can you watch over and over? FiveThirtyEight put together a list of the '25 Most Rewatchable Movies' of all time and Tad & I recreate the Top 10. Can you guess them all without looking at the full list?

1. Star Wars

The Star Wars phenomenon began in 1977, with Hans Solo, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vadar and Princess Leia. Despite rumors, Carrie Fisher will not be digitally recreated in future Star Wars films. Princess Leia finished her scenes in the 8th installment before she passed away, but that will be her last.

2. The Wizard of Oz

The movie based on the L Frank Baum book came out in 1939 with Judy Garland and is still popular today. 'Oz Stravaganza' is held each year in Chittenango, the home of Baum, to celebrate.

3. The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music with Julie Andrews topped the box office for 4 weeks in 1965 and was the highest grossing movie that year. The film also won 5 Academy Awards including Best Picture.

4. The Lord of the Rings (series)

The novels by J.R.R. Tolkien became a movie series that broke records. The final film, The Return of the King won all 11 Academy Awards it was nominated for, tying Ben Hur and Titanic for the most of all time.

5. Gone With the Wind

Frankly my dear, Gone with the Wind is regarded as one of the best films of all time. It's in the top ten of the American Film Institute's top 100 American films and it's also in the National Film Registry.

6. The Godfather (tie)

The Godfather was the highest-grossing film in 1972. It won Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay Oscars. The movie is in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress and is ranked the second-greatest film in American cinema (behind Citizen Kane) by the American Film Institute.

6. The Princess Bride (tie)

The romantic comedy came out in 1987 and was inducted into the National Film Registry last year.

8. The Shawshank Redemption

The Shawshank Redemption may have been a disappointment at the box office but it received multiple award nominations and is now considered to be one of the greatest films of the 90s. In 2015, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry.

9. Harry Potter (series)

7 of the 8 Harry Potter films, based on the books by J.K Rowling, are among the highest grossing films of all time.

10. It’s A Wonderful Life

It's a Wonderful Life, starring James Stewart, came out in 1946 and is still an annual holiday tradition. It's been recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 best American films ever made.

The poll was also broken down by gender, and while "Star Wars" comes out on top among men, women prefer "The Wizard of Oz."

Top Movies For Men:

Star Wars
The Godfather
Lord of the Rings
Pulp Fiction
The Princess Bride

Top Movies For Women:

The Wizard of Oz
The Sound of Music
Gone with the Wind
Star Wars
The Lord of the Rings

If I can only choose one, I'd have to say 'Dirty Dancing,' (nobody puts Baby in a corner) which came in at #13 overall and #6 among women. I begged my parents to rent it every weekend as a kid. It would have been cheaper if they'd just bought it.

Tadpole had a tough time picking just one too, but his top rewatchable movie is 'The Hangover.'
