I just realised when thinking of something to watch, maybe Under Seine. I.e the ridiculous shark movie 6/10 at best. Buuuut. I remember being entertained throughout despite the concept of it,

Also, Deep Blue Sea - Thinking I like Shark films a bit too much. How about Freddy vs Jason, not a good film but still, entertaining each time.

Even 'The Losers' which is basically a derivitive A-Team knock off but very entertaning with a decent cast.

I could watch Oppenheimer, Shawshank, Schindlers List multiple times as they are 9/10 films but I end up rewatching the 'bad' movies a lot more.

What is your 'I shouldn't. But....' movie/s?

Very few movies I can rewatch, once I've seen them once most just won't hold my attention again, a few I've rewatched when significant time has passed, the only movies I can regularly rewatch and not switch off are The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Aliens and to a lesser extent The Matrix.
 
For me it's probably going to have to be Tremors, watched it so many times and have it in about 5 different releases on disc.
It's almost a perfect monster movie for me, as it's funny, it's got some great characters and the effects are good but not over the top, it's the sort of film I can sit down and watch whilst doing something else, or can start watching halfway through if it's on TV (although I'm more likely to poll out one of the discs and pop that in).
 
I have a selection of films I go to if I for whatever reason I need cheering up or otherwise to de-stress. The Adventures of Hood(1938), Tron(1982) and Blue Velvet(1896). Blue Velvet is admittedly an odd choice for an uplifting film, but the trauma you go through leading up to the final happy ending kind of amplifies it. Plus I am a David Lynch nut, so I would also add Dune 1984 to this as well. And if I am ever too cheery about things and need bringing right back down to earth I'll watch The Elephant Man.
 
rarely do I have time to rewatch films these days. I have a backlog of about 200 films that I want to watch but am never in the mood or have time
I have seen ford vs Ferrari about 5 times now though
 
I don't know why but Evan Almighty is one, I don't go out of my way to watch it but if it happens to be on I'll find myself watching it again....and again...
 
Whenever Remains of the Day is on I'll make a point of watching it,

Also Rebecca, Vikings and a few others.
 
As teh post above - Dune 84 version. Rewatched many times in various formats/versions.

Not far behind is Blade Runner and Zulu.
 
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Seen that a few times now.
In Bruges, brilliant.
Shrek, surprisingly.
Any of the Wallace and Gromit films.
