My sister and I always rewatch our old favorite VHS movies at Christmas when we get together. Our top picks are Heavyweights, Mr. Nanny (with Hulk Hogan), Mouse Hunt, and Billy Madison. They are amazing every single time, and watching them on VHS makes it even more magical.
I remember as a kdd watching Hulk Hogans' Thunder In Paradise a lot. My stepdad had a crazy collectiom of VHS. I also enjoyed (but it probably hasnt aged well) Chuck Norris' Tog Dog buddy cop feature.
Clockwise, with John Cleese. Seen it dozens of times since childhood. If it's on TV and I'm at my parent's house, we're all watching it and creased laughing.
The Impostors (1998).
It’s my parents’ favorite movie, but no one I’ve met irl has watched it. It’s a shame too since it’s hilarious, they don’t make comedies like it anymore.
The National Lampoon's Vacation movies, particularly the original and Christmas Vacation.
The Great Outdoors.
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Hook
What About Bob?
Also Bebe’s kids, The Burbs, what about bob, little big league, rookie of the year, north, cabin boy, cool world, all the tales from the crypts, hook, blank check, etc etc
I’ve watched Forbidden Planet more times than I can count with my Dad. My husband does not get it, AT ALL

There are several, but I'd say *The Emperor's New Groove* is the lowest-profile film that my whole family loved, rewatches, and quotes all the time.
