Ever thought about what makes a movie a person's favorite movie? Like ones they can watch countless times with a minimum gap between and never be bored?

Wish there was a more finite search engine than we have now. One that is independent of the service providing the movies (who have a vested interest)

I have seen these movies many, many times although. Wish there was an algorithm to find similar:

Sleeping with the Enemy
Mystic Pizza
Fatal Attraction
Sideways
Sound of Music
Romancing the Stone
Dave
No Looking Back
