I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse -- Go ahead, make my day!

What is the movie you have seen multiple times -- not because your girlfriend forced you, not because you were on an airplane and would rather watch the movie than listen to the annoying lady next to you, not because ... well, you get the idea. What is the film that you watch over and over -- simply because you love it, identify with it, learn from it, etc.?

I have a couple like that. If I had to pick an American one, it would probably be Amadeus. With regards to the Russian ones, it'd be a tie between Покровские Ворота and Burnt by the Sun.

So, recommend some titles, please. In exchange for your suggestions, here is a list of 50 movies worth seeing:

In no particular order:

1 Amadeus
