59 Movies You Can Watch Any Random Day

Posted on the 30 October 2013 by Rukhaiyaaramrit
In the past, I have pondered over more than a hundred movie lists on IMDB, EmpireOnline Magazine, Listal and a lot more places on the internet and felt dissatisfied with the exclusion or inclusion of a certain cinema in many of them.

But now that, I have made my first list, I know its really tough to keep everyone satisfied. Anyways, let me explain what exactly this list covers. This is the list of 59 movies that I can watch time and again and never get bored, which do not mean that these films are the best I have seen, you may miss some of the greatest films of all time in this list because some films are so great that you need a good 6-7 months gap to have a second watch of it, you give it a lot of time to feel and absorb every character in it, the classical dialogues and the unforgettable scenes that watching it for the second time instantly just ruin the magic it has. For example The Godfather Trilogy, I love this film, but I can't watch it twice in a week or in a month. Same goes with Citizen Kane, Gone with the wind and Casablanca. 

Same goes with The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I cannot watch it one more time, at least for the next 2 years but when I did watch it for the first time, I had huge respect for the perfection with which it was made by director Peter Jackson. 

Basically this list covers all the film that can be watched on any random day, these are great films and there are greater films which do not make it to the list. The list is in alphabetical order so do not try figuring out who beats who. I will come up with a ranked list later.


Here goes the list:
