#1 favorite movie..?

Anyone out there have a movie they watch daily, or atleast weekly ?

One that you cannot help but watch, no matter what else is happening, even if it is just back-ground noise many of the times you put it on the tube...?

I can't help it, but I have this everlasting obsession with ;"The Hunt, for Red October"

I work from 3pm, 'til 11 pm monday through friday. I have a ton of movies in my collection, yet I find myself watching it sometimes twice a day, for approximately the past three (3) years. I watch it, Once before, and once after work sometimes.

This is not new, it's been going on for a number of years as I said. It is only this one movie. I have every word, sound, and scene memorized, as well as all of the flaws, from filming and authenticity, acuracy to real life, and even a few real classified bits of info, which were accidentally exposed during filming/making of the movie.
(One scene, On the USS Dallas, navigators were in the background, talking about some scanner technology, of which was actually top secret/classified, and was considered to be a breach of security after the movie was released) Writers, and directors had to answer for where they got the dialogue for the movie scenes as a result.

I was just wondering, am I alone in this..?

Does it strike anyone as weird, that someone could watch a movie so often..?

Most other, movies I could see once or twice, and be bored with, or tired of quickly.(With the exception of "Space Balls" and "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Gallaxy".) I still don't watch them that often though.

This one in particular however, seems to be just as exciting, every time I put it on.

It is a somewhat "Dated" movie, with old school technology, not a lot of action, and limited degree of intensity. Alec Baldwin was a young actor, Sean Connery was already a legend, and John McTiernnan, hadn't done much previous work. For some reason, this movie, to me, is somewhat of a "Masterpiece"

Serious oppinions..?

Nick
