I just re-discovered Home Alone 1 & 2 and watched the two “action sequences” about ten times during the holidays.

Besides the boobytraps (and the great music!), I especially love Joe Pesci's (“Harry”) NY accent & attitude and his mostly incomprehensible mutterings (“grumblegrumbleriphisheadoffgrumblegrumble”), and Daniel Stern's (“Marv”) constant moaning and his exquisite screaming – and of course the sense of wonder that Macauly Culkin conveys (“Whoaw!”). Too bad there wasn't a third part featuring that unforgettable trio.

I preferred this to all the later Haniabl Lecter incarnations. Great scene with blind bird and tiger with Shriekback's Coelocanth haunting music playing over it.

Wish You Were Here (1987)
Withnail & I (1987)
Black Cat, White Cat (1998)
Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992)
Milano Calibro 9 (1972)
Braindead (1992)
Aguirre, Wrath of God (1972)
White Heat (1949)
Breaker Morant (1980)
Grimsby (2016)

I've seen all the above at least three times, but I couldn't imagine watching any film a dozen times. It would be have to be something very special...

Casablanca
The Maltese Falcon (the John Huston version)
Midnight Cowboy
Ratatouille
Reach for the Sky
The Dambusters
North by Northwest
Dr. Strangelove
Duck Soup
I'm Alright, Jack
Walkabout (but only because of Jenny Agguter)
Don't Look Now
Dial M for Murder
Rear Window
To Catch a Thief
The 39 Steps (Hitchcock)
Toy Story 1, 2 & 3
Kind Hearts & Coronets
Passport to Pimlico
The Lavender Hill Mob
The Ladykillers
The Man in the White Suit
The Girl Can't Help It
West Side Story
My Fair Lady
Manhattan
Some Like it Hot
Annie Hall
Educating Rita
The Apartment
Double Indemnity
Shirley Valentine (as it is my wife's favourite film)

There must be others, but they are not coming to mind at the moment.

Some TV series we have watched repeatedly:
BBC: Pride & Prejudice (6 part TV series in the UK, not the film)
BBC: House of Cards (i.e. the original series in the UK)
BBC: A very Peculiar Practice

The top two were adapted by Andrew Davies, the third is a brilliant original series by him. His improvements on the original book of House of cards are astonishing - the book is sort of ok-ish, but Davies adds in loads of extra things, completely changes the ending and turns it into a masterpiece. The phrase, "I couldn't possibly comment", for example, doesn't appear in the book, nor does Hattie going to bed with the Chief Whip!

Spent Boxing Day re-watching Dennis Potter's wonderful 'the Singing Detective', which is probably borderline for multiple views.

Comedy horror

Involves very petty criminal Kylie (Morgana O'Reilly) sentenced to be ankle bracelet placed under the house arrest custody of her estranged mother (Rima Te Wiata) for eight months. Only the house might or might not be haunted by something deeply sinister.

If you've not seen it already I heartily recommend it
