Some films never get old.

Movies we can't get enough of!

Some films never get old.

There are films all of us like watching over and over again, despite knowing the dialogues verbatim and each scene inside out. There's a simple comfort in the familiarity of repeat viewings of a much loved film.

We asked you, dear readers, what films you can watch a million times over, and here are your results. As always, a fine list.

10. Chak De India

Full of memorable characters, Shimit Amin's hockey film can easily be watched several times over. Scenes like the one where the girls' team first finds solidarity in beating up a bunch of eve-teasers at McDonalds, or that rousing climactic match, make sure the film stays constantly watchable.

9. Angoor

Widely considered Gulzar's finest film, this comic masterpiece was a tremendously inventive adaptation of Shakespeare's A Comedy Of Errors.

Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma are at the absolute top of their game in both their double roles, and the scene involving the confusion over the necklace is absolutely priceless.

8. Satte Pe Satta

Partially based on Stanley Donen's 1954 Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, this takes the first half and choreography from the original, but director Raj N Sippy adds some extremely enjoyable 80s masala for the rest of the film.

An evil Amitabh Bachchan, a great RD Burman soundtrack, courtship thwarted by melons, and characters named after days of the week -- what's not to adore?

7. Golmaal

Possibly Hrishikesh Mukherjee's most successful film in terms of television reruns, Golmaal pitted the inimitable Utpal Dutt -- at his eesh-yelping best -- opposite Amol Palekar, the nice guy forced to turn conniving.

Fantastic stuff, right from the various interview applicants to the incredible sight of Dina Pathak squeezing surreptitiously through a window.

6. Munna Bhai MBBS

Debutant director Raju Hirani was responsible for the most memorable characters of this cinematic generation with this introduction to Munna Bhai and Circuit.

While Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi shone in career-best roles, the film also threw the superb Boman Irani at us -- playing the furious doctor trying out laughter-therapy.

5. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge

The finest Bollywood film of the 1990s, Aditya Chopra's DDLJ is the definitive cinematic romance, planting a flag atop posterity to mark the peak of the Shah Rukh Khan years.

Khan was in fine form, Kajol was totally irresistible, the music fit perfectly -- and several consider this Karan Johar's best work as well. No wonder it's still running.

4. Sholay

What can one say about the most iconic film of all time? Even the act of repeating those terrific Salim-Javed dialogues seems to be cliched in itself, and justifiably so.

This Ramesh Sippy mega-classic is cinema at its most memorable. To Hollywoodise the equation, this film has the cultural significance of The Good The Bad The Ugly, The Godfather and Star Wars all rolled into one -- except Sholay's even bigger.

3. Chupke Chupke

Decidedly the most flawless comedy in the history of Hindi cinema, Hrishida distilled the best of pure PG Wodehouse spirit to create this elegantly crafted classic.

Dharmendra is brilliant as the professor whimsically impersonating a chauffeur, and this is the definitive Om Prakash performance -- but then 'side-hero' Amitabh Bachchan comes in, shoves his spectacles up the bridge of his nose, and steals the show.

2. Andaz Apna Apna

Raj Kumar Santoshi's 1994 farce hasn't aged well, for the most part. Much of it is far too raw, amateurish and often gratingly too loud.

Not that it matters, because -- with every grain of our Bollywood fanhood -- we love this movie. If you don't 'get' the inherent greatness of Crimemaster Gogo, there's really no point even trying to explain. A wonderfully mad film.

1. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron

All hail the big daddy.

It just had to be number one, right? The only true black comic masterpiece in our cinema, this is one shoestring budget arthouse film that ended up more enduring than any blockbuster ever could.

Starring the best ensemble cast of all time, this fantastically scripted tale of corruption and caricatures is as quotable as cinema's ever gotten.

From that fantastic scene where the entire cast hijacks a Mahabharata production on stage, to the moment where director Kundan Shah pays subtle tribute to Antonioni, this film has classic written all over it.

Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron isn't just an eighties film; it's ours, and we're all shareholders.

sorry friends if ur fav movie is not in this list .

I think DDLJ,AAA,AND MBMBBS.. are deff. the same for me too

Good topic....👏

Hmm, I havn't seen half of them!

I agree with about 80% of the list. JBDY, Golmaal, Angoor, and Chupke Chupke are the ones I have probably watched the most often thanks to my parents. Although I love Munnabhai MBBS, AAA, DDLJ, and Sholay too.

sholay, saate pe saata and ddlj i agree with me for me i would add...
