[Canada]

June 6th: Saving Private Ryan
July 4th: Born on the Fourth of July
October 3rd: Black Hawk Down
October 31st: Halloween (1978)
December 24: Either A Christmas Carol (1951) or It's a Wonderful Life

I do:
July 4th: ID4, 1776
Halloween: Halloween III: Season of the Witch

Would be neat:
May 19th: See No Evil
Thanksgiving: Alice's Restaurant

[Monterey Jack]

Valentine's Day: The 40 Year Old Virgin.

I used to watch Buckaroo Banzai every Christmas, but after so many years, any film gets old if you watch it that often, so, no.

As long as you watch it ONLY once a year, I don't find really great movies to grow old with many viewings.

Wouldn't Back to the Future be a better choice for November 5th? It was a red letter date in the history of science.

Television does a fine job of playing all the Christmas classics during December, but there's one classic for me that they never play on tv: The Ref. My parents and I love this movie and have made it a Christmas tradition every year for the past 5-6 years now. Planes, Trains and Automobiles every Thanksgiving, of course. As for Halloween, I go to the theaters and see all the horror classics on the big screen. This month one theater is doing Stephen King adaptations. If it's within my power regarding work schedule, I'm def. gonna see The Shining, Christine, and Stand By Me.

As a child I used to watch Fantasia whenever it thunderstormed. Can't give you a reason why.

July 4 : Independence Day
Groundhog Day: Groundhog Day: Groundhog Day: Groundhog Day

[The Great Owl]

Planes, Trains and Automobiles comes off the shelf every single Thanksgiving.

That's about it, though.

On Friday the 13th I always watch one of the movies from that franchise, not always the same one though.

Yes. I'll try to watch at least 1-4 but I'm hoping I can squeeze 5 and 6 into it as well.

[HD Canuck]

October 26 - The Goonies

[Zodokai]

Groundhog Day: Groundhog Day
July 4: Independence Day
November 5: V for Vendetta
Thanksgiving: Miracle on 34th Street


Everything else is pretty fluid or watched every year during a certain time period (rather than a specific day).

[Michael24]

I always try to watch at least a couple Jason movies whenever there's a Friday the 13th.

Jaws I'll watch any time of year but usually give a special watch on the 4th of July.

Halloween on October 31. Halloween 2000 was great, as I stayed up the entire night watching all seven.

Christmas Eve is always A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott. I think I've watched it every Christmas Eve since about 1989.

[Scottie]

Groundhog Day on Groundhog Day.

It's a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve.

[dohrmannmf]

4th of July - I try to do Jaws or Top Gun

Halloween - Halloween, Halloween III, and/or Halloween 4

On the 23rd day of the month of September - I try to do Little Shop of Horrors

Friday the 13th - Anything from that series

Thanksgiving - Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Christmas - Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, A Christmas Story, and/or Empire Strikes Back

If there's a particularly hot summer night and I'm just sitting around, I like 12 Angry Men.

I try not to watch the same stuff all the time so usually it's something from the above titles and I'll alternate year to year.
