    That's... somewhat frightening?

    I had a head trauma myself, half a year ago.
    Did a head-first somersault onto the hard pavement while biking, luckily wearing a helmet.

    Lost only about 2.5hrs of memory (mostly after the accident, but some of it before).
    It really creeped me out, just not knowing what happened during that time (e.g. I talked to my wife on the phone while riding the ambulance - completely no recollection of it).

    But this ongoing memory resetting you described is a much more terrifying idea.
    How do you feel about it now?

    Aaaaand also: Do you wish the movie had rather been Groundhog Day? ;-)

    Groundhog Day. Humor, tragedy, redemption, rodents.

    Purple Rain.

    If i'm having trouble sleeping or I'm stressed I'll just put that on and it'll chill me out. really relaxes me. I know it's a silly Prince movie but I absolutely love it.

    Robin Hood Men in Tights. I’m pretty much always happy to sit down and rewatch this one. Still laugh at every stupid joke.

    Stardust. It's beautiful, sweet, moving, well-acted, funny, entertaining, and has a great story. Just a wonderful, comforting experience all around. One of the few movies that's decidedly better than the book.

    Edit: Didn't notice that I'd been beaten to mentioning it, but it's worth repeating!

    I would have to say "Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel", especially in the time around Christmas.
    ("Three Wishes for Cinderella", an iconic Czechoslovakian/East-German film which is pretty much total cult here in Germany.)

    Apart from that (and perhaps better known internationally):
    "Back to the Future" also is pretty near the top of my list.

    I guess it would be a favourite, probably Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. I watched it countless times during my final year of high school as part of my major literature assignment (in addition to all the other times I've watched it for leisure), so I know it so well at this point that I'm far beyond the "I've seen this too many times, it's boring now" stage. I appreciate every little detail now.

    It's a tie between Eurovision, School of Rock and Bohemian Rhapsody. And I am now just noticing they are all music related films which I never really noticed before.

    Blues Brothers - I'm not the type of person who can rewatch movies often but I watch this at least 2-3 times a year.
