The Shawshank Redemption. I don't have cable any more, but when I did, I'd watch it any time i saw it on.
Kung FU Panda, funny, humor for all ages and a moral lesson that we all need to have really sunk in.
WALL-E
The Blues Brothers
Ghostbusters
Lord of the Rings
Hot Fuzz
I usually don't enjoy rewatching movies unless it's been a few years. With that said, I watch The Blue Brothers 2-3 per year minimum.
You're clearly on a mission from God
Primer First time I watched it I had to restart the DVD immediately after it ended.
Lord of the rings fellowship, two towers, and return of the king extended editions.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Pacific Rim
But ignore the sequel entirely. The drop in quality is impressive.
I'm baffled at how much they screwed it up. They really didn't need to change the formula much for the sequel to be a success. Just come up with a new portal or some excuse why the portal from movie 1 didn't close and do the same thing as the first movie.
Instead they did whatever they ended up doing in movie 2 and killed what could've been a fun blockbuster franchise.
Hell they could've adapted one of the the hundreds of fanfics online and it would've been a better starting point than whatever they ended up with.

(from the top of my head)
Some of my favourite rewatchables are:
Margin Call, The Big Short, The Wolf of Wallstreet, Nobody, Moneyball, The gentlemen, Layercake, Heat, The Running Man, Roadhouse.
BTW, if you've not heard of it, The Rewatchables is a great podcast where a group of guys talk about and critic movies they consider rewatchables. If you're interested, listen to episode 1. The list of shows would be a pretty good answer to your question but this list is off the top of my head.
Margin
Call The Big, Short The Wolf
of Wallstreet, Nobody
Moneyball: The gentlemen
Layercake Heat
The Running
Man, Roadhouse
Dude I've never heard of any of these films

Annihilation
How come? I was unimpressed by this movie despite it gaining a cult following.
It was one of the cases where the movie was better than the book it was based on

Everything Everywhere All at Once
Maybe not worth rewatching every night/weekend, but from time to time I absolutely love rewatching Legend of Hei.
I don't remember where, but I remember some people online kinda comparing it as something like a Chinese Studio Ghibli film, which in a way is partially true since it has a magical feel to it.
I got a DVD/Blueray set through Shout! Factory and do not regret the purchase, personally.
