Top 5 Movies I Could Watch Over And Over And Never Get Tired Of

Let's be honest- I've seen way too many movies over and over again in my younger life where looking back at it, they were very marginal and I'm surprised I have a brain cell left from that, multiple head injuries, and a little bit of alcohol this past year plus among other things. But enough about head wounds, this is a short list of some of my favorite movies that I have seen over and over and still want to see again and again:
5. Legally Blonde: one of the funniest and most quotable movies ever- Reese Witherspoon and her companion toward the end of the movie work great and there is a lot of fun elements to it. One of the best movies I've seen this century and the ending was wonderful!
4. Elf: one of the best movies ever, this Christmas classic I've watched 6 times and could probably watch every Christmas from here on out till I'm 60 and never get tired of it. The Will Ferrell character in this is a lot like me which makes for a similar movie to how I behave but overall the innocence of the character and pratfalls make it memorable.
3. It's A Wonderful Life: one of the classics. I love the sentiment, the wonderful message of being kind, the great message, and the overall quality of the idea of looking at life through a unique lens compared to what it is now. As someone who has contemplated suicide a few times, seeing the movie puts everything into perspective and gives a good lesson or two.
2. Night At The Roxbury: OK. you've got me- I've seen this movie 3 or 4 times and could probably see it again 8 or 9 times and then be able to quote it silly (I already have quoted it a few times in public repeatedly). But this is one of a handful of quality Will Ferrell movies and is so much like my roommate and I if we were brothers and always going clubbing that it is almost like life imitating art. And the no? yes! line can be used for anything.
1. Patch Adams: a wonderful story of human sentiment full of great parts, sad parts, and some of the most beautiful imagery of any movie I've ever seen. Got some pretty strange lines in it but it is so beautiful, quotable, and a great case in human study. It is simply such a stellar movie that even though I've watched it 8 times I can't get enough. And it was probably the late Robin Williams best role ever and a simply wonderfully and vividly made movie. And some of it was true or should've been true which makes it even more amazing!
