Morrowind and Oblivion have the most hours put into it,
Borderlands is up there with 257 hrs (though oddly enough i don't really like the game itself that much)
after that Left 4 Dead 2 is at 146hrs (great replay ability)
the original Witcher I've clocked in 123 hrs
aaand the mass effect games are also in the 100+ range (i think ive played through the first one 7 times now..)

Just listing games.
Minecraft
Daggerfall/Morrowind/Oblivion
Metroid
Chrono Trigger
Pokemon (Considering they release the same game every time but I always buy and play them obsessively)
Dwarf Fortress (oh yes)
Just Cause 2
Any Rogue like
I of course have not listed any multiplayer game because that would be cheating

Oblivion, Fallout, and New vegas.
If KOTOR didn't take 38 hours to just get through one play through I'd play it more.

For immediate replayability, something in the sandbox-RPG genre (Fallout 3, New Vegas, Oblivion, etc.) is always fun as the approach you take can vary each playthrough (though my experience is that there's frequently an optimized approach to the early portions of the game and/or levelling that drains a bit of fun in exchange for the ability to trounce enemies)
If you're looking at long-play type games, you're hard pressed to beat Nippon Ichi's releases, especially in the Disgaea series.
Alternatively, there are short-play games like Prototype and Dead Rising that are just great fun to kill time in.
Ultimately, though, when I think "replay value" I'm actually considering whether or not I'd want to sit though a game again, start to finish at a later date, and I really like a number of JRPGs for that. For instance, to me Chrono Trigger, Suikoden II, Final Fantasy VI, and Lost Odyssey are like favorite books. Sure, you know what's going to happen and it'll take a while to get through, but every now and then it's great to relive it.

Well personally Persona 3 and 4. HYPER catchy battle music making grinding a breeze, EXTREMELY long game that ENCOURAGES replay. XD Those games are still lasting me a long time.
Mass Effect, KotOR 1, Halo Reach, Bayonetta, and Dragon Age Origins. I've spent countless hours playing those games. They are some of my favorites.
Sadly, once I have played a game, I know pretty much the whole thing off by heart for years. The only games I can replay are ones I really enjoy and/or that aren't heavily plot based.
Left 4 Dead 2 is the only game I have found so far that I never get bored of, and I keep going back to it.
Garry's mod can be pretty much any game you want it to be, so I have racked up 3203 hours of total play time over 3 years. Funnily enough I've gotten sick of it now.

I've played Silent Hill 2 10 times, and I'm quite familiar with it. Map layouts, dialogue, where to find items, etc.
