movies you'll watch over and over

[barbtries]

Last edited Sat Jan 28, 2023, 08:36 PM - Edit history (1)

even if nobody else even heard of them. I'll go first

Gorky Park
Into the Night
Narrow Margin

ETA An American Dreamer - JoBeth Williams deserved an Oscar for that film.

[mobeau69]

1. Sibling Rivalry, Hoosiers, Christmas Vacation

[barbtries]

2. I haven't seen 2 of those.

I think I'll check 'em out

oops I have seen sibling rivalry lol

[Bayard]

3. If one is on, even if its the last 5 minutes

Legends of the Fall
Dances with Wolves
Benny & Joon
Galaxy Quest
Aliens

[Easterncedar]

20. Benny and Joon is great

Such a sweet, funny, honest movie, beautifully written and acted and filmed. Every actor in that is a star, but that’s where I discovered Oliver Platt. Dan Hedaya was a surprise. The young Johnny Depp was lovely and brilliant with his silent movie comedy routines.

[MuseRider]

23. I could just use your list

mine would be similar, at least for a few minutes because there are so many.

Nobody ever mentions Benny & Joon. MSM was so good and I will watch Aiden Quinn in anything. It is actually a pretty deep cast and a good one! Somehow and for some reason I am very pleased to see this.

Galaxy Quest is just a hoot every time.

Just saying HEY and agreeing with your excellent taste!

[Bayard]

73. Funny that Aiden Quinn is in two of these

And obviously YOU have excellent taste!



Oh--I forgot to add Princess Bride, Silverado, and Last of the Mohicans.

[Submariner]

4. Canadian Bacon

Once Upon A Time In The West

[Easterncedar]

18. Love Canadian Bacon, too

Features my home town!

[Different Drummer]

5. My list...

Ed Wood
Inherit the Wind
The Lion In Winter
Viva Las Vegas

[Walleye]

28. The Lion in Winter also one of my favorites

[HoosierDebbie]

6. Victor Victoria

[yellowdogintexas]

103. Yes! It may be my favorite movie.

We love it. I was so sad that Robert Preston did not get an Oscar!!

[Lochloosa]

7. Godfather, Moonstruck...thinking

[applegrove]

8. All The Presiden't Men, The Princess Bride, Sex And The City (full series)

Missing, The Sound Of Music, Midnight Run

[kacekwl]

9. The ones I can think of

Moonstruck , Godfather , A few good men , Goodfellows

[barbtries]

46. I cannot count

how many times I've watched 3 of those. Moonstruck, A Few good Men, and Goodfellas.

i rented Goodfellas and watched it on a VCR and it was SO GOOD I rewound it and watched it again immediately.

[cos dem]

10. Monty Python, Coen brothers, Stanley Kubrick

Holy Grail
Life of Brian
Meaning of Life
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Fargo
Big Lebowski
Blood Simple
Dr Strangelove
2001
The Killing
Paths of Glory
Airplane

[intrepidity]

85. Kubrick & Coen Bros def have the magic touch

One film might be a lucky strike, but nearly "all* of them says something profound about the director.

[BOSSHOG]

11. Paper Moon, The Jerk, Cool Hand Luke, The Verdict

[barbtries]

47. I will watch the Verdict

and Absence of Malice over and over. I only watched Cool Hand Luke once and think it was right after my father died, because i cried and cried. Did that with Camelot during the same period.

[BOSSHOG]

67. Paper Moon

Had that mystery over it. was Mose Addys father or not. Done in black and white. Criminals cheating criminals. A whily prostitute. Addy and her friend successfully plotting. Some gratuitous viiolence. And it was a comedy.

Paul Newman has been my favorite for a long time. He was riveting in the Verdict, cool in Cool Hand Luke and dashing in HUD. Absence of Malice would be a great double feature with the Verdict. Pacino had fun.

[kacekwl]

71. Oooh, Cool hand Luke

I forgot that on my list. Probably seen completely 20 times.

[BOSSHOG]

74. She don't know what she's doing. Oh yes she does.

[kacekwl]

87. Shakin the bush here boss.

I think I could quote the whole movie.

[iemanja]

96. I love Cool Hand Luke

Paul Newman is the best.

[BOSSHOG]

98. He always made acting appear so easy

Even made Robert Redford look better then he already was.

[Sneederbunk]

12. Citizen Kane, Hud, Zulu.

[KarenS]

13. Sheesh,,, I am due to watch these again,,,

The Music Man
Michael
The Buddy Holly Story
Sweet Dreams
Coal Miner's Daughter

[debm55]

14. Lawrence of Arabia, Sound of Music, Dr. Zhivago, Wizard of Oz ,Good Will Hunting. Dances with Wolves

15. The Great Escape, The Magnificent Seven

Every Christmas, Alastair Sim’s A Christmas Carol

Key Largo, The Thin Man, The King and I, Anastasia (Yul Brynner and Ingrid Bergman and Helen Hayes, awesome)

[milestogo]

42. Read all three and watched all three...

Excellent stories.

[dweller]

43. Loved the books

Watched the movies again last week … usually once a year …

✌🏻

[Higherarky]

17. Jekyll & Hyde -- Together Again

A cult classic ... Hilarious!!!

Young Frankenstein
History of the World Part Two

[Easterncedar]

22. I would love to see the Kirk Douglas Dr. Jekyll musical again

But it seems to have sunk without a trace. It was hilariously awful!

Hah. It seems I can. The internet saves all.

[barbtries]

48. oh, yeah

Young Frankenstein. untold number of times I have watched that movie.

[lastlib]

19. 2001: A Space Odyssey; Reds; Billy Jack...

(LOVE the ass-whuppin' he lays on ol' POSner!)

Up Periscope also comes to mind.

[greatauntoftriplets]

21. Four Weddings and a Funeral

The Airplane! movies
Casablanca
Out of Africa
Anything with Simon Pegg
Cry Freedom
Hotel Rwanda
Don't Look Now

And many more....

[barbtries]

49. I have watched

Four Weddings and a Funeral many times. Hotel Rwanda, only one time.

Nowadays I compare the US to Rwanda at that time. The propaganda that turned otherwise normal people into murderous monsters.

[Diamond_Dog]

24. A League of Their Own

[we can do it]

32. Good one! Have to agree.

[SheltieLover]

35. Absolutely!

Love it!

[303squadron]

25. A few

The greatest movie ever made: Casablanca
Dr. Strangelove
That Thing You Do
The Kings Speech
Seabiscut
Paths Of Glory
The Maltese Falcon
A Hard Days Night
Once Upon A Time In The West
L.A. Confidential
Master and Commander:The Far Side Of The World
The Producers
42
The Jerk
The Shawshank Redemption
Inherit The Wind

Movie they should remake:Follow The Sun, The Ben Hogan Story. The original was a maudlin piece of crap, but the real story is the story of the greatest comeback in individual sports history. Lucas Black as Hogan!

And finally: Hurricane:303 Squadron.....because nothing warms my heart more than seeing Nazis die.

[Walleye]

27. Most of the ones on your list would be on mine, although I haven't seen all of them

[barbtries]

50. I have watched only a few of those.

but your list did remind me of another movie I love, which is LA Story. Gotta watch that from time to time!

[yellowdogintexas]

104. and the Hogan movie should be filmed at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth

The club he founded because he wanted a golf course with a certain type of grass!
His statue is at the entrance to the course.

I have a sweet 1 week gig at the Charles Schwab Challenge tournament, played at Colonial. I have learned things about golf and Hogan that I would never have known.

[rurallib]

26. the two that always come to the top of my head are

Dr. Zhivago and The Pawnbroker

[barbtries]

51. I loved Dr Zhivago so much I bought it,

but I don't think I've watched it again even so.

I think I may have seen the Pawnbroker. many moons ago

[Doc_Technical]

90. The Pawnbroker is a great film,

but it's on my list of movies that I am glad I saw them
but I don't want to see them again.

[rurallib]

91. understand that

[Grokenstein]

29. I love genuinely terrible movies.

As a bee lover and bad movie lover, Irwin Allen's preposterous The Swarm is required annual viewing for me.

Like The Swarm, Howie Long's Firestorm (1997) has a terrific score, bad SFX, and a hilarious disregard for reality.

I won't post the trailer for Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 (AKA "Garbage Day!" ) because of the violence and gruesome low-budget latex effects, but it's a holiday tradition and for the most part an absolute howler. UMBRELLAS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! And yet, its big set piece has a genuinely chilling moment in which the bad acting, good music and direction all come together, and was unfortunately prophetic.

[brush]

30. Several excellent ones on posters' lists. Here are mine.

Last edited Sat Jan 28, 2023, 09:22 PM - Edit history (2)

Casablanca
Godfather l
Godfather ll
Shawshank Redemption
Pulp Fiction
Friday
Maltese Falcon
Watch on the Rhine
Good Fellas
A Bronx Tale
Bad Santa

[barbtries]

54. Pulp Fiction

would have been on my list but at some point I knew I'd never watch it again because of the violence. I think objectively it is a very good movie though.

[brush]

65. It was violent. Sam Jackson and John Travolts's characters were...

hit men. And then there was Harvey Keitel and Bruce Willis' story lines, Uma Thurman...and all the others.

Quinten Tarantino did an excellent job directing, and acting. It's one my all-time favorites.

[barbtries]

68. i was blown away

by John Travolta's performance in that film.

[brush]

69. Didn't he win an Oscar? I know Sam Jackson was also nominated.

And can Travolta dance.

[barbtries]

70. he was nominated

for pulp fiction and Saturday Night Live, but did not win. googled it

i also learned that Kelly Preston, his wife, died in 2020. News to me. Another movie I should have added to my list: Jerry Maguire

[we can do it]

31. Harry Potter series, Star Wars series, Birdcage, Hairspray, Goodfellas

Ok then
Sound of Music
Victor Victoria

[sinkingfeeling]

33. One no body's mentioned, "To Kill a Mockingbird" with Gregory Peck.

[wnylib]

40. That would definitely be on my list, along with:

Judgement at Nuremberg
Fidler on the Roof
Thunderheart
Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade (anything with Harrison Ford)
Into the Woods
Matilda
Casablanca

And many more.

[applegrove]

78. Great book. Great movie.

[barbtries]

53. wonderful book wonderful movie

I've read it more recently than I've watched it, but I may watch it again soon.

[SheltieLover]

34. Crazy People, Meet Dave, Good Boy, Field of Dreams, Major League,

Analyze This, Miss Congeniality, Borat, to name a few favs.

Great thread!

[electric_blue68]

106. I was doing this waaaaay late at night. I Can't Believe I - Forgot- Field of Dreams! Ty, reminder!

[Collimator]

39. The 13th Warrior

And 300. Just mentioned this movie on another thread about celebrity crushes.

Amber Ruffin, whom I love and normally agree with, conjectured that The 13th Warrior failed in part because Antonio Banderas, a non-Muslim, played one in the movie.

Amber--just no. Representation is critical, of course. And faking out a person's race when there are actors with the appropriate look available to play the part is wrong. (I remember listening to George Takei's description of a white actor done up in what he described as "almost reptilian make-up" to play an Asian character and I felt his pain.)

But religion is a choice and Muslims come in all colors. Yes, Banderas played a Muslim--well, he's Spanish, and the Moorish empire had a lengthy and significant impact on that country. Who knows what is in his genetic history?

Ian Charleson played Eric Liddell, a committed, principled Christian missionary in the movie, Chariots of Fire. Later on, he supposedly died from what was called AIDS at the time. To many, that meant the guy was gay. (I honestly don't know or care if he was.) My born-again Christian ex-hubby was so bewildered. How could the man have played such a convincing Christian if he were gay? My husband acted like he had just learned the truth about Santa Claus.

There are times and situations where casting should be limited to those with an organic, authentic tie to the character and there are times when it should not be an issue.

Anyway, I should come down off the soapbox and get with the spirit of play. Not well-known movies that I am happy to enjoy include Adventures in Babysitting and Waitress.

Bonus points for pontificating. Vincent D' Onofrio, an Italian-American actor, played a Mighty Thor (Norse God) lookalike in Adventures in Babysitting.

[barbtries]

56. yes!

Adventures in Babysitting, I LOVE that movie. I only have it on VHS at the moment. Even though I have a VCR, I haven't quite figure out the right way to make it play on my Roku. Gotta get my son over here.

[Collimator]

60. The one curse word is. . .

. . . all the funnier because the whole movie is basically wholesome.

[2naSalit]

113. +1

[milestogo]

41. The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Out of Africa
Legends of the Fall

[barbtries]

57. The Unbearable Lightness of Being

is another movie I thought was great but once was enough. Never watched Legends of the Fall

[milestogo]

62. I love every movie with Daniel Day-Lewis in it.

I've bought several of them.

[debm55]

77. I love his role in Lincoln. He was outstanding in My Left Foot. Named my son Daniel after him.

[milestogo]

82. I remember that Sally Field- who played Mrs Lincoln said she felt like

she died and went to heaven working with him.

[Emile]

44. Groundhog Day

[Emile]

45. What about Bob

97. Need to take baby steps. . .

[Patterson]

55. Local Hero

[First Speaker]

58. The Big Sleep...

...I figure if I watch it enough times, I can figure out the plot...

[barbtries]

59. lol

it's been so long but i'm pretty sure i read the book too. Dashiell Hammett? That's a Bogey-Bacall movie IIRC. just put your lips together and blow?

[First Speaker]

63. Raymond Chandler, actually...

...and, when the moviemakers asked *him* if one of the characters had been murdered or not, not even Chandler knew. As for putting your lips together--that was To Have and Have Not, based--very loosely--on Hemingway...

[barbtries]

64. there we go.

i'm getting the old-timers.
i read all those books but it was in the 80s - taking a class in suspense lit.

[Elessar Zappa]

61. Lord of the Rings trilogy,

the Harry Potter movies, Star Wars movies, Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire.

[electric_blue68]

107. Oh, thanks! I forgot Mrs Doubtfire (w poignant spots, otherwise soooo darn funny!)

[barbtries]

112. the Lord of the Rings is on Amazon Prime

just for a few more days. I started watching the first one last night.

I read all the books decades ago. The movie is spectacular but I don't know if I'll get to them all because fantasy is not my thing. Same with SciFi. just me

[Trailrider1951]

72. Oh man, many many good ones out there

Mine are:
Cloud Atlas
The Shawshank Redemption
Little Big Man
2001

Sleeping Beauty
Mary Poppins (both Disney)
The Sound of Music
Fiddler on the Roof

[Trueblue1968]

79. TOOTSIE !!!

With the song that was at our wedding ....

Stephen Bishop - It Might Be You (Tootsie) (1982)

[Mad_Dem_X]

122. Great song, great movie!

That's on my list, too.

[LeftInTX]

80. Blues Brothers

Grease
Bye Bye Birdie
Goodfellas
Baazigar (1993 with Shahrukh Khan and Kajol)

Stuff I watch over and over are entertaining and don't require much concentration.

[a kennedy]

84. Yup, love Blues Brothers.

[Jeebo]

81. 1950s science fiction movies.

Forbidden Planet, The Day the Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Fly, When Worlds Collide, This Island Earth. Also a much more recent one, The Martian. The Martian is on the movie channels on cable TV all the time, and whenever it comes on, I can't not watch it. I must have seen it dozens of times by now. Every time I eat a baked potato, I think of Mark Watney. I read the novel too, a year or two before the movie came out.

Forbidden Planet is, in my humble opinion, the best science fiction movie ever made. The artifacts of the Krell civilization, the way the humans in the movie interact with those artifacts, the mystery of the destructive force loose on the planet ... it's one of the most intelligent science fiction movies ever made.

-- Ron

[electric_blue68]

108. It is one of the best. And when they walk through the Krell "walkways", over the Bridge with part...

part if the machine around them. And what you said about all of it.
I watched it practically everytime it showed up on TV.


In the SF TV Series Babylon 5 at one point there is a
Visual Homage to the FP Krell bridge scene!

[a kennedy]

83. The Green Mile, my husband loves Uncle Buck

[Paladin]

86. Everythng Hollywood put out in 1939, with one glaring exception:

No "Gone With The Wind," thank you very much. Never have liked it, and the last thing we need these days is major cinematic pimping for the Confederacy.

[Auggie]

88. Three films off the radar

The Silent Partner:
A timid bank teller anticipates a bank robbery and steals the money himself before the crook arrives. When the sadistic crook realizes he's been fooled, he tracks down the teller and engages him in a cat-and-mouse chase for the cash.

Up in the Air:
Ryan Bingham enjoys living out of a suitcase for his job, travelling around the country firing people, but finds that lifestyle threatened by the presence of a potential love interest, and a new hire presenting a new business model.

Eating Raoul:
A relatively boring Los Angeles couple discovers a bizarre, if not murderous, way to get funding for opening a restaurant.

Aside from many of the usual suspects mentioned upthread

[barbtries]

89. that's what i'm talking about.

i have seen Eating Raoul but don't recall ever having the other 2 on my radar (had to google to update).

I have also seen Up in the Air but forgot the title. George Clooney. and she was married.

[Auggie]

93. Watched Eating Raoul two days ago ...

currently streaming on HBO Max. Still as funny and campy as it was 40 years ago.

I own the digital version of Silent Partner (1978) and watch it every other year at Christmas. Stars Elliot Gould, Christopher Plummer, Suzanna York, and John Candy (!) in his first film role. Plummer plays a great villain.

Don't know what it is about Up in the Air that grabs me. It's dated now even though the film is just 13 years old. I think I secretly envy Ryan Bingham's life, as twisted as it is.

[iemanja]

92. Arsenic and Old Lace, Bringing up Baby, and Snatch

Last edited Sun Jan 29, 2023, 04:56 PM - Edit history (1)

to name just three.

[NowsTheTime]

94. Not Yet Mentioned........and some that have

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Planes Trains and Automobiles
House Sitter
The Replacements
Michael
Libeled lady
Harvey
Bringing Down the House
Bad Day at Black Rock
Legend of Bagger Vance
Other Peoples' Money

Repeats:
Local Hero
Inherit the Wind
A Few Good Men

[barbtries]

95. i almost put House Sitter on my list

I've watched it so many times. Overboard, too. Love Goldie Hawn

I just remembered another of my very favorites that I don't believe has occurred in this thread yet. Gloria - the Gena Rowlands version. Never even bothered to watch the remake. I think that movie is great, and one of the stars of the movie is NYC circa 1970s. It's so good I've watched it innumerable times.

[Mr.Bill]

99. You know what's one of the best things about

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World? There isn't a word of foul language in it. You can watch that movie with your grandchildren.

[Tikki]

100. I love "Into the Night"(1985)..especially Hamid's upscale apartment..going room to room

and then juxtapose that with Charlie's apartment.
Seems like every scene had some kind of interesting surprise to discover.

James Jarmusch's..."Stranger than Paradise" (1984)
Stephen King's "IT!" ...the television version (1990)


Tikki

[barbtries]

110. i love it so much

i'm from the south bay and familiar with many of the locations. The jet rolling over Sepulveda, the big Donut. Malibu, Marina Del Rey and Hollywood. And all the players from Paul Mazursky himself to David Bowie and John Landis. Michelle Pfeiffer before she had any work done, she was already beautiful. I've always thought the shot of her jumping onto his car was sheer perfection.

I never mentioned Harold and Maude, probably because that was a cult film I was really into a long time ago. That's a film that you literally cannot see all at one time. Details will be missed. So I watched it probably 20 or more times

[Raine]

101. Pretty Woman, Titanic (1997), The Swimmer

The Heiress (1949) and It's a Wonderful Life ... watch all of them again and again and again.

[yellowdogintexas]

102. I love American Dreamer! I wish I owned a copy of it

A true sleeper movie

[barbtries]

109. yes.

i was able to order a DVD as recently as 2019 from Amazon. I have a VHS copy too of course.

JoBeth Williams could not have been more perfect in that movie. my opinion. i have spent more time than reasonable thinking how unfair it is that comedy roles are not as valued at Oscar time. She wasn't even nominated as far as I know.

[yellowdogintexas]

105. skipping over Christmas Movies for this thread

Godfathers
Indiana Jones
Star Wars
Victor, Victoria
Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles
Bringing up Baby
Arsenic & Old Lace
In the Heat of the Night
The Lion in Winter
Spirited Away
To Kill A Mockingbird
The Princess Bride
Farris Bueler
Better Off Dead
The Sting

[barbtries]

111. Better off dead!

it's slightly dated but still hilarious. We watched it at Christmas a couple years ago because my DIL had never seen it and we felt she must.

that's a christmas film

[yellowdogintexas]

114. yes it is a Christmas film but I did not include it on my Christmas movie

list.

I think only part of it is Christmas related.

Best scene stealer: "I want my Two Dollars!"
Runnerup: Tie between the 2 moms.

[barbtries]

117. I think Kim Darby took that one all the way

Here are your FRAUNCH fries, FRAUNCH bread, FRAUNCH dressing...lol

[area51]

115. One of my favorite movies is

The Lost Boys.

[Mad_Dem_X]

123. My sister and her best friend were OBSESSED with that movie.

I'm sure they could recite the script verbatim.

[WestMichRad]

116. Only a few such movies for me:

2001: A Space Odyssey, MASH (the original movie, not the TV series), Blazing Saddles, In Search of the Holy Grail.

I find it curious that I can listen to long musical works over and over and may even enjoy them even more than ever with the most recent listen, but for nearly all movies it’s one and done for me.

[barbtries]

118. Actually my mother was the same way.

it didn't matter how long ago she may have seen it, once she realized she'd seen it previously she was not going to watch it.

she also would not sit through a double feature at the theater. I watched Bananas by myself while she went shopping and sat there laughing all the way through it all by myself. Also, once the movie was over she was out the door. She never cried at a movie. I also recall following her out of the theater after watching The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and I was not done crying. I took after my dad that way.

I love MASH too and have watched it several times.

i'm not like you or my mom. movies are like friends almost, i pull them out and watch them over and over. it's relaxing, enjoyable, not in the least demanding. Very often I fall out watching.

[VGNonly]

119. 12 O'Clock High

The Apartment
Bull Durham
The Caine Mutiny
The Fortune Cookie
Father Goose
On Golden Pond
Butch&Sundance
As Good As It Gets
The Birdcage

and many others

[frogmarch]

120. The Secret of Roan Inish

[Mad_Dem_X]

121. Shawshank Redemption, Tootsie, Steel Magnolias, The Color Purple

...even though the last one makes me cry like a baby.
