There are lots of movies that I enjoyed, but I wouldn't necessarily like to see them again. These are movies I could easily watch a few times and probably have.

A Fish Called Wanda (1988,  R)
A Fish Called Wanda
I have seen this movie countless times and I still find it funny. I know it is Hollywood's job to match stars for films, but they did an outstanding job here. I don't know if they could have found 4 other people to complement each other so perfectly. I'm giving it 5 stars because it makes me laugh each and every time I watch and it has never become boring.
