Nice Idea, Jenny.

I tend not to watch movies more than once, but I do have some major 
favorites:

Pulp Fiction.  I like movies that are not chronological, and I had to 
watch this film about 3 times to get the sequencing right.  John 
Travolta and Samual L. Jackson was just a bonus.

The Usual Suspects.  I'm a sucker for a good plot twist.

The Sixth Sense.  I like to see if I can find any plot holes or 
inconsistencies (surprise).  So far, I haven't found any.

West Side Story, Oliver, Annie, Fiddler on the Roof.  These are 
fabulous because I can watch them with the kids.

Trading Places and Animal House.  A blast from the past.

Honorable mention for Life is Beautiful, one of the most touching and 
creative films I've ever seen.  

BTW, I don't think I'll be disappointed with the HP film, because I 
have been working hard to lower my expectations as much as possible 
by chanting things like "It's only a movie," and "Books are always 
better than movies," and "I could buy a hardcover OoP for the cost of 
taking all these kids to the HP movie, two copies of OoP if I buy 
popcorn for them."
