Name a movie that you can NEVER get tired of watching again and again

[MrScorpio]

FIGHT CLUB

[GCP]

1. Bladerunner

[latebloomer]

16. That's funny!

I had some friends in the 80s who would show that movie EVERY SINGLE TIME you visited them!

[harmonicon]

60. same here

I probably watch that movie at least a few times a year, on average. The only copy I've ever owned is the so-called "Director's cut", which I love, and think is far better than the theatrical version. At first I was excited by the "new" versions, being released, but now I'm afraid that they could completely spoil it for me. At this point, the movie is ingrained in my mind, and I don't know if it's something that I should fuck with.

[supernova]

2. LOTR

Pirates of the Carribean (most of Johnny's movies. The subjects are timeless.)

Ghostbusters, oddly enough. :P

[XemaSab]

6. Ah, the memories!

For about 4 years, Ghostbusters was the only movie we owned.

I have probably seen it 100 times.

I bet I could recite 90% of the dialogue along with the film to this day. :D

[YellowRubberDuckie]

3. Love Actually...

There are many actually. Harry Potter Series being five so far, and Kill Bill 2. Eurotrip. MANY MANY MORE
Duckie

[orleans]

82. love actually is such a wonderful movie. n/t

[Ronnie]

132. Yes it is. And another Hugh Grant movie:

I've lost track of how many times I've watched it.

[orleans]

134. i haven't seen that (music & lyrics) but i like both hugh grant & drew

i should check it out--i read the plot synopsis on imdb and it sounds right up my alley (i really like the wedding singer & 10 things i hate about you...so...)

[XemaSab]

4. Fight Club's a good one

Mulholland Drive and Shallow Grave are my two most favoritest movies.

I can watch those any time, any day. :thumbsup:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. The Shawshank Redemption.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Oh, god yes!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. I think I've seen it at least a dozen times.

[fizzgig]

42. without a doubt

one of my favorite movies ever

[harmonicon]

58. I think you might be right.....

.... I didn't think of it, but you made me realize that every time that it's on TV, I watch it. Huh.

[Droopy]

8. I can't watch fiction films like that

I see them once and then I'm done. But I can watch documentaries like that. I have a collection of them that I call my "truth movies." My current interest is "The War On Democracy." You can watch the documentary for free if you gave a high speed connection over at http://www.freedocumentaries.org/

My sister and brother-in-law are coming over this evening to watch it with me. I think they are in for a shock.

[Iris]

9. White Palace and Ferris Bueller's Day Off

[cloudbase]

10. Dr. Strangelove

Every time I see it, I notice something new.

[geardaddy]

151. I could watch that over and over. n/t

[derby378]

12. Kill Bill (volumes 1 and 2)

[MrScorpio]

13. Here's another one: Immortal Beloved

[begin_within]

55. I love that one

[latebloomer]

14. "The Bird Cage"

I never get tired of that one! It is so freakin funny!

I also like the madcap comedies from the 30s and 40s-- "The Philadelphia Story", "It Happened One Night", "His Girl Friday", "Bringing Up Baby". Classic!

[NMDemDist2]

165. that's one of mine n/t

[bigwillq]

15. Pulp Fiction

Scarface
Shawshank Redemption

[Deja Q]

17. Is that Glenn Quinn?

My response would probably be "Airplane!"...

[crispini]

18. Velvet Goldmine

Hawt. :D

[MrScorpio]

19. And another one is Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

[SeattleGirl]

20. "Love Actually", "V for Vendetta", "Apollo 13", "To Kill a Mockingbird",

"The Shawshank Redemption", "Fahrenheit 9/11", "Bowling for Columbine", and "Walk the Line" are a few of the movies I can watch over and over again, and not get tired of them.

[applegrove]

143. I love to kill a Mockingbird.

[grannylib]

21. "Rebecca" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" are two of

my all time faves...and "A River Runs Through It" and "Legends of the Fall" would be near the top of the list too.

[pokerfan]

I can watch this over and over and still notice little things like the Bass Player wiping his shoes before rushing into the appliance store with Liv Tyler when their song gets on the radio.

[WinkyDink]

193. "Do the mess-around!" HILARIOUS!!

[Popol Vuh]

23. fear and loathing

24. Star Wars

The first one...er, the fourth episode...uh, the....damn it. Bar scene, Alec Guiness, kaboom, that one!

[tluvstigr]

25. Top Gun

AHHHH before Tom Cruize went crazy...when he was hot too...not to mention Val Kilmer as well....great a real classic.

[BlooInBloo]

179. 2nded....

... No matter how much I might agree with the uselessly-snobby folks who pan Cruise, it's just an awesomely fun rock em sock em flick.

Of course the nostalgia value of one of my first humungous crushes that summer in driver's ed combined with Take My Breath Away helps too.

[Joe Chi Minh]

26. For a Few Dollars More.

The great departure of Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Western trilogy from conventional Hollywood westerns, apart from their highly stylised, indeed, quasi-apocalyptic mode, is that Leone has the mindset of an Italian, a citizen of a country in which the phrase, “A fish rots from the head down”, was coined, to convey the sad truth that ultimately the source of all the ills of any society are indeed its own leaders and their respectable, monied supporters.

A country in which the ordinary people for at least two thousand years have witnessed the most shocking corruption among the Great and the Good, the people in high places who defined ‘respectability’ for the rest of the population, putatively in terms of Christianity and the personification of it in their own persons, but in reality, in terms of the extent of their wealth and worldly ambition; and this, for most centuries, from the Vatican down. Indeed, there is still an undercurrent of it within the Church. Scant wonder, then that Mussolini found most Italians knew better than to relish fighting unjust imperial wars, from which only the country’s ruling class and its monied supporters would, in any case, be the only ones likely to have profited them.

This scurrilous(!) attitude towards the notion of white-collar respectability is reflected in these films, and is angrily repudiated by some of the more po-faced reviewers, although it is not so far from the reality - at least, if the Christian Scriptures are to be believed.

It is starkly epitomised by Tuco, in the Good, The Bad and The Ugly, when he reminds his brother, who became a monk, that where they grew up, that to survive in the part of the country they came from, a young man had to make one of only two choices: either to become a priest or to become a bandit. In Tuco’s eyes, his brother’s choice of vocation was not nobly inspired, but rather, inspired by cowardice.

There is even an implicit reference to ‘corban’, referred to scathingly by Christ in the Gospels, with reference to the putative dedication of their lives by some scribes and Pharisees to God, although used by them as an excuse for neglecting to look after their parents in their old age. In the film, Tuco reminded his brother that it was he, Tuco, who had put bread on the table for their widowed mother and the rest of the family.

So, in the Leone trilogy, you get the impression that the townsfolk are not much better than the rogues who were at the centre of the action – where they are not indeed worse, as in the tribute to the genre, High Plains Drifter, directed by Eastwood, himself. The village worthies, the bank manager, ranch-owner, etc had increasingly tended to be depicted as respectable scoundrels in Hollywood westerns, but the somewhat anarchic, working-class type of perspective was taken to a new level here, and provides a strangely comforting backdrop to behaviour that is conventionally viewed as the only real criminality. Whereas white-collar crime, of course, has immeasurably more wide-reaching, deleterious effects.

Of course, there was some element of this in the old Hollywood westerns, but the hero was usually a reformed gunslinger or official lawman persuaded to protect the widder-woman/ innocent townsfolk from the rapacious cattle-baron’s predations; a kind of iconic, sanitized cowboy, not far removed from the world of a Norman Rockwell painting of a homestead with a white picket-fence and a young woman with an hour-glass figure and an apron, looking out from the garden path.
In that sense, the traditional Hollywood cowboy made an ideal poster-boy for imperialist Republican warmongers, like the Pharisees of old, “whited sepulchres filled with dead men’s bones”, cheer-leading young Americans to honour the flag, by killing brown-skinned foreigners for their country’s natural resources on the most specious of pretexts. Wouldn’t work with the Italians. They’re a whole lot wiser in the ways of the world than Americans and Brits.

On the other hand, American TV has long led the way in identifying this inverted social moral order. The cynical police chief and mayor are a staple of your police/gumshoe programmes, to cite just one example.

That earlier complacency may be partly accounted for by the fact that, post WWII, both left and right maintained a relatively fair society, particularly, of course, when contrasted with the post-Thatcher era. While the US was full of hope and now seemingly complacent exuberance post WWII.

If this isn’t the most hilarious, po-faced review you ever read…. I can’t imagine what would be.

http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?_r=1&res=9F00E4D81F3CE43BBC4C53DFB166838C679EDE&oref=login

On reviewer also referred to the good Douglas Colonel Mortimer, as “the brutal wanderer”.

You may have heard high praise of the Italians' sense of style. This film is replete with examples of it, even down to the credits - which, of course, are nowadays usually scrolled though too quickly for anyone to be able read.

Other favourite films are The Big Lebowski, some Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino films, All Quiet on the Western Front and others.

[jus_the_facts]

51. Just bought and watched the dual DVD of A Fist Full of Dollars and A Few Dollars More...

...night before last...and also own the soundtrack of The Good The Bad and The Ugly on vinyl in mint condish! :)

[Joe Chi Minh]

106. Tee he! Lucky you. I must get them, too.

Of course, it's escapism, but we see the biggest villains get away with too much too much of the time in our societies today. Vengeance is mine, say the Lord. I will repay!

There is now a growing culture in which the only offence is to take offence at offence, all in the name of freedom and tolerance. Trouble is, freedom for us can never be absolute and retain its meaning. Freedom implies a measure of responsibility. When we lose all sense of responsibility, we lose our humanity. A neglectful parent is not freer than a loving attentive parent. Quite the contrary.

[Joe Chi Minh]

109. I've just been playing a track on YouTube called Big Iron from Marty Robbins'

38 called Gunfighter Ballads, though it's actually a pretty witty tribute by Michael Martin Murphy. I'm a sucker for all this machismo shtick and love that song, but it makes the ending of this video, with its wee subplot, all the more hilarious.

What happens is that before the Texas Ranger shoots Texas Red in the showdown, you see two honky-tonk girls, like the rest of the townsfolk, at a window watching what was going on. After Red's shot dead, you see one of the girls with a pistol in her hand, looking out .... and looking quite pleased with herself - as does the Ranger, little knowing, of course, the unusual edge he had been given! Both women had pretty warm, interesting kind of faces, but Monca(!) looked as if she was more than spirited enough to have taken out the dreaded Red!

[Brigid]

27. "O Brother Where Art Thou?"

One of the funniest comedies ever. :rofl:

[Diana Prince]

119. One of my favorites.

My grandfather, who recently passed away at the age of 92, would show that movie whenever anyone visited. I know I watched it with him at least 6 times. The memories are wonderful.

[suninvited]

142. Oh, I forgot about that one !

I love that movie and have seen it over and over, too. The CD is great, too

[fight4my3sons]

28. Harold and Maude

[stuntcat]

45. I re-watch that every few months

I love Maude and Harold.

[cordelia]

29. The Women

And Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean

[hellbound-liberal]

30. Monty Python and The Holy Grail

I watched it six times one weekend.Every time someone came over to my house, I asked them if they had seen it lately. If they hadn't, I watched it again!

[lazyriver]

185. I've watched that movie more than any other by a factor of

two or three. I too have played it at least a half dozen times in a two day period.

[Flaxbee]

31. Notorious (Hitchcock), The Shawshank Redemption, Chocolat,

Sense and Sensibility (Emma Thompson's version) and for series, A&E's Pride and Prejudice from the 90's with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.

Oh, and Sneakers, with Robert Redford and Sidney Poitier.

[CBHagman]

[Elidor]

38. The Lion in Winter

The original. I haven't seen the remake. I don't want to see the remake. I don't care about the remake.

Henry II: My life, when it is written, will read better than it lived. Henry Fitz-Empress, first Plantagenet, a king at twenty-one, the ablest soldier of an able time. He led men well, he cared for justice when he could and ruled, for thirty years, a state as great as Charlemagne's. He married out of love, a woman out of legend. Not in Alexandria, or Rome, or Camelot has there been such a queen. She bore him many children. But no sons. King Henry had no sons. He had three whiskered things but he disowned them
Henry II: You're not mine! We're not connected! I deny you! None of you will get my crown, I leave you nothing and I wish you plague! May all your children breach and die!

[CBHagman]

39. That's another one.

One of the most watchable, quotable classic movies ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXlDmAzrPi8

[Elidor]

78. Did you know Christopher Walken played King Phillip in the original stage version?

I wish I could have seen that.

[CBHagman]

79. I had no idea!

I was aware of Walken's long and rather interesting career (that he trained as a dancer, for instance, and appeared in musicals), but I had no idea about that.

[WinkyDink]

192. KH was magnificent, and I am so not a fan of hers!

[triguy46]

40. I can't stop with one. Godfather. Fargo. Grosse Pointe Blank. Napolean Dynamite.

[Blue_In_AK]

41. The Blues Brothers

cracks me up every time, but not the cleaned-up version they play on basic cable. It has to have all the bad language.

[quip]

43. This is Spinal Tap, Groundhog Day, MP & the Holy Grail, Thomas Crown Affair

to name just a few....

[TZ]

62. Thomas Crown Affair?

That wouldn't have anything to do with Renee Russo would it?;-)

[quip]

65. Not "anything".... everything! It's the perfect date movie: Brosnan for the ladies, and a nekkid

Russo for the fellas. :thumbsup:

[stuntcat]

44. Dawn of the Dead

the new one :headbang:

Also Star Wars, Jaws, Rocky Horror and Young Frankenstein.. and Harold and Maude and The Shining and Fargo, sorry to keep going but I have feelings about the movies :p

[elshiva]

46. I've got to see Fight Club!

I could see Boogie Nights, Blazing Saddles, Clueless, Orgazmo, Any of the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies (not the Bakshi cartoon version, which is annoying), Any of the Star Wars movies, Any of the American Pie movies, again and again....

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

47. Four Weddings and a Funeral, Shawshank Redemption, Animal House

[kentauros]

48. Koyaanisqatsi

Koyaanisqatsi

Saw it four times in the theater, with a different friend I was introducing it to each time. Every one of them just as blown away as I was the first time :D

It's still a powerful movie after all the years...

[stuntcat]

49. I'm afraid to watch it lately

I have those movies (the first three anyway) but I haven't watched them in years. They were just so moving and lately I've gotten so freaked out about the world and people and stuff that I'm afraid if I watch it I'm like freak out.. They had such an effect on me.

[kentauros]

52. I guess if you liked the music

just buy the soundtracks and listen to those. I love pretty much anything Philip Glass has done, so I would be happy with just the music, too :) (I do own the first two soundtracks.)

I still haven't seen Naqoyqatsi; I know I should get it. Before I purchased Powaqqatsi a year or so ago, I hadn't seen it since its theatrical release. I was literally in tears at some point (I can't remember now) because the visuals and the music moved me so much. The only other movie to move me like that is Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no haka).

[stuntcat]

92. Grave..

I've never heard of that, I'm putting it on my list, ty!

[kentauros]

138. You're welcome :)

It is anime, but it is of a director that Miyazaki (Spirited Away) considers a close friend: Takahata (I can't remember his first name.) But the quality is so good, you'll forget you're watching an animated feature soon enough.

[laylah]

50. It is a toss up for me...

"The Wizard of Oz" or "Dances With Wolves"...both "speak" to me.

[latebloomer]

53. "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"

Cause I LOVE looking at Johnny Depp, and I particularly like his character in that movie.

[opiate69]

54. Lebowski, Midnight Run, LOTR, Shawshank, Dogma

[Meshuga]

76. Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man

Lebowski is one of my all time favorites. :-)

[opiate69]

127. "Are you employed, Sir?" :)

Definitely one of the most quotable movies of all time..

[applegrove]

144. I love midnight run.

[opiate69]

161. me too! definitely one of the most underated movies of our time..

[applegrove]

168. I love the scene with robert deniro in the phone booth talking about

doing away with the accountant - then nodding his head no to the accountant. Brilliantly acted.

[opiate69]

170. "Where am I? I'm in Boise Idaho.. no, no, no, wait a minute, I'm in Anchorage Alaska"

[SallyMander]

147. SECONDED!!!

:thumbsup:

:hi:

[hyphenate]

64. Erm

Widely eclectic, but these are the top ones:

Blazing Saddles: been a while since I sat down and watched it, but 34 years still have had many, many viewings. I can still remember the dialog almost to the word, though, and likely always will.

Ever After: Far more recent, obviously, but I keep playing portions of it over and over, especially near the end when Marguerite and stepmom get exactly what they deserve.

While You Were Sleeping: Just so sweet. Sorry--I love happy endings.

Die Hard 2: I have come to hate overly graphic films, but this one always gives me an adrenaline rush.

[abq e streeter]

what can I say, I'm an intellectual

Within a week of its release, American-International Pictures withdrew it from circulation. Director Francine Parker speculated that "calls were made from high up in Washington, possibly from the Nixon White House, and the film just disappeared."

[Proud Liberal Dem]

116. Transformers The Movie (1986)

I don't watch it every day and probably wouldn't even if I could but it's one of the few movies that has really stuck with me, possibly because I was (and still am to a large extent) a huge fan of the original (G1) Transformers animated series, it was a particularly memorable movie from my childhood, I absolutely adore the soundtrack, particularly the amazing electronic score composed by Vince DiCola (Rocky IV), and the fact that I only saw it once at the movie theater when it was first released back in 1986, saw part of it once on TV maybe a year or two later(?) but didn't get to sit down and REALLY watch it again probably for another 12-13 years until Rhino issued the first DVD release of the movie (I guess absence truly DOES make the heart grow fonder). Since then I've continued to watch it, in whole or part, every few weeks or months and I listen to the soundtrack (often visualizing the movie without any effort) quite frequently, particularly since they re-released the soundtrack last year with some more of the score. I purchased the 20th anniversary version of it back in 2006, which included improved sound and picture quality, as well as some new bonus features including a exclusive Japanese-only episode (with fan commentary) of the original G1 series that introduces Ultra Magnus, Metroplex, and Trypticon (Transformers fans will know who I'm talking about) prior to the movie and the following season.

I also enjoy all of the Star Wars movies and (re-)watch them quite frequently as well, particularly "Revenge of the Sith", "The Empire Strikes Back", and "Return of the Jedi".

[InvisibleTouch]

122. Soundtrack was the best thing about it, IMO.

Well, that and it introduced Cyclonus. ;) I'm more of a pre-Movie TF fan, myself, and don't even get me started on the unmitigated crap from the last decade or so. Cool to see another TF fan around here, though! :)

[Proud Liberal Dem]

140. Nice to hear from another TF fan too!

I thought that the soundtrack for the movie was really almost an integral part of the movie for me kind of like how John Williams' score was for the Star Wars movies. I never really got to watch most of the 3rd season (post-movie) and the last few episodes of the G1 series ("The Rebirth" arc) after the "The Return of Optimus Prime" (I actually willed myself sick so that I could stay home and watch THAT episode when it was first broadcast!) and I also never got into all of the different post-G1 TF series either. None of them, however, could hold a torch to the much beloved G1 animated series for me. It has been so long since I've seen the original G1 series aside from the few that I have on DVD and I'm really quite surprised that none of the networks (i.e. Cartoon Network) have ever (as far as I know) re-broadcasted the G1 series in its entirety since the show went off the air in 1987-1988(?) I wonder why? The new TF animated series (which follows a storyline variation on the recent live-action movie) isn't too bad and features a lot of the same voice actors whom did voices on the G1 series, as well as some of the same characters with similar robot/vehicle configurations but there is still nothing more exciting than seeing the original G1 series in all of its 80's glory.

121. "A Thousand Clowns," 1965, Jason Robards, Martin Balsam.

I can actually recite the lines, I've seen it so many times, but it never gets old, to me... :D

[yellowdogintexas]

175. I love that movie. the Harvard Square cinema used to show it every

spring during exam period. The audience recited lines along with the movie, cheered everytime the kid came on the screen. It was fun. They also showed the original Zero Mostel version of "The Producers" every year too.

[Rhiannon12866]

199. I envy you! I've only seen it on TV and it's interrupted by commercials... :-(

But my SO taped it the last time it was on, so now I have it on CD. :D And I can recite the lines with them, as well. I must be pretty annoying, LOL... ;)

[orleans]

135. i also really liked the great new wonderful

a film containing five (i think) different stories/character studies and how the stress from 9/11 is affecting their lives--without them even being conscious of it. it was billed as a comedy--i didn't find it funny. i thought it was subtle and sad. but i really liked it.

Pretty much anything by David Lynch, as well.

It's just that those are just the movies that, when they come on or I run across them while channel-surfing, I almost always watch them the rest of the way through. And the list is longer than that, but more of the same.
