15 Most Rewatchable Movies Of All Time

6. Raiders Of The Lost Ark

This, again, was a tricky one. Naturally, this list had to have at least one Steven Spielberg movie; indeed, it wouldn't be hard to make up a list of endlessly rewatchable movies from nothing but Spielberg's filmography.

So, again, we had to judge by simple viewing pleasure. And to this writer's money, Raiders of the Lost Ark comes out on top. Indeed, we could really count the whole Indiana Jones trilogy (yes, trilogy; as with Die Hard, that later entry doesn't count, damn it).

It's just the quintessential adventure. Mystical lost treasures, deserts and jungles, chases and escapes, punch-ups and shoot-outs, and the baddest baddies of them all: Nazis.

And holding it all together is Harrison Ford as the square-jawed archaeologist with the hat and the whip, who seems like he's knows what he's doing but is always making it up as he goes. The fact that Ford was able to originate so iconic a hero having already done so before with Han Solo only makes him more of a legend.

Endlessly repeatable quote: "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?"
