My selection of all the movies I have watched at least 5 times, but easily more. Movies that touched me in one way or another, the story telling, the acting, sometimes the soundtrack, or cinematography. More often than not it is a combination of both, but always the actors who blow me away in a movie that make me watch it over and over again.

Tim Robbins in The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

A well earned 9 to compensate the superficial CGI addiction and celebrate acting!

Emotional depth is heart stoppingly beautiful

Riveting movie, great acting; classical tale done right
