No way, they're not making a 4th one are they??
Granted the first one was great but JP3 was just awful.

John

Caesar_Bojangle · 19-07-2003 12:29am

Happy Gilmore - I’ve seen it about ten times and I never tire of the manikin hand.
The Matrix - I’ve seen it near enough to ten times. I'm a goddamn nerd.

Battle Royale – Any time anyone would come over to my place they’d insist on watching it, so I’ve lost count but its definitely more than I could possibly count on my two hands.

Speed - I hate this movie but I’ve seen it near 13 times. The movie is just part of my fate, any time I go to someone’s house this film is on, or even on aeroplanes, it never ceases to follow me.

I forgot High plains drifter & Pulp Fiction

Makaveli · 19-07-2003 4:59am

I'll add Donnie Darko to my list too.
Great film.

Swordfish
The Italian Job
Romeo & Juliet

Used to love that film as a kid but I just watched it recently and MAN IS IT EVER BAD! The jokes are unfunny, the kids are annoying (even Chunk) and the story seemingly going nowhere at all points in the film. Anne Ramsay and Joe Pantolino in particular should be ashamed of themselves

Before this latest viewing I was actually looking forward to seeing it again - but at this point you couldn't pay me to watch it again.

Some films really should just remain nostalgic memories!

Hmmm, I think I'll start a new thread now ....
