What film would you wtach over and over again????

circuit · 20-10-2006 4:32pm #1

Just wondering what film people would watch repeatedly. You know that one fave film that never gets old or boring no matter how many times you see it?

Noelie · 20-10-2006 4:34pm

Balde, not any of the crappy sequals but the first one.

Lurk · 20-10-2006 4:48pm

Jaws (1)....at least 50 times, could be far more

The Insider
The Fugitive
Once Upon A Time in the West
Constantine
North by Northwest

Chronicles of Riddick (while reading Heat and sundry other pap larks)

what about you, circuit darling?

johnny_ultimate · 20-10-2006 4:50pm

Garden State, Serenity and Donnie Darko would be recent ones that spring to mind.
Spinal Tap would be one of the few comedies I never get tired of

Basq · 20-10-2006 5:29pm

Karl is gonna LOVE this list.. bet he stickies it!

circuit · 20-10-2006 5:35pm

Circuit darling? Eh Lurk? A tad over familiar but I wont worry about it just yet.

Bodhidharma · 20-10-2006 7:33pm

1. True Romance
2. Goodfellas
3. This is Spinal Tap

Seen all of the above, the whole way through about 40 times.

faceman · 20-10-2006 7:44pm

Jaysus im amazed this thread isnt locked and set on fire by karl by now!!

Spinal tap is something i can watch over and over as is the blues brothers.

Lurk · 20-10-2006 8:05pm

well it's better than the Defining Boards Movie list or whatever that is (I'll tell you what it is, goddamnit,...it's a list of movie titles, with no context, posted by people whose opinions I wouldn't trust even if their middle name was 'trust my opinion,' and that if it was written in paper, would be rejected by a paper recycling factory even if every tree in the world suddenly exploded). rant rant rant....

Basq · 20-10-2006 8:08pm

The OP's already been banned!

Call Me Jimmy · 20-10-2006 8:13pm

Lost and Translation and Glengarry Glenross. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many times i've watched those two, and it's been a couple of weeks since i have watched either of them so another viewing is on the cards.

Lost in Translation is almost like an experience rather than a movie and the script in Glengarry Glenross is so amazing, and then there's the cast... but I won't get into that coz I'll simply cream me pants

speedfreak · 20-10-2006 8:16pm

i saw mad max 2 in a country cinema when i was 12/13 (i think) and it had a profound effect on me! Have loved it ever since. Mad Max 1 is ok also but MM3 got ruined by Hollywood.

Ro: maaan! · 20-10-2006 9:27pm

Die Hard
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Mallrats

Not my favourites, but the ones that don't seem to get old.

Maxwell · 20-10-2006 10:42pm

Grosse Pointe Blank
Matrix
Heat

Garden State

That was the first film that popped into my head after reading the thread title... one of my favourites.

Die Hard 1, LOTR: Return of the King (perhaps), The Bourne Identity and any of the Terminators or Arnie flicks.

afatbollix · 20-10-2006 11:25pm

for some reasons i keep watching sin city over and over again.. road trip and its allways in the laptop so i just watch that...

Xcom2 · 20-10-2006 11:32pm

AH yes slipped the mind too very rewatchable. The Goonies was also mentioned. Ah the Goonies

Must...watch...

Pigman II · 21-10-2006 12:23pm

StarWars. I reckon I've seen it at least 100 times now (and that's just counting ep4 btw not all 6).

Non-obsession movies aside I reckon the runner-up would be TheBreakfastClub which I've seen about 15 times.

deman · 21-10-2006 1:37pm

Highlander
Pulp Fiction
All of the Star Wars films.

sirpipalot · 22-10-2006 7:02pm

Well I watched Empire strikes back for the 5 millionth time this morning so that i guess

garden state
rocky
back to the future

and for some reason Ocean's Eleven

22-10-2006 7:15pm

Hrm.

I've seen Children of Men 3 times, Fight Club 4 times and Dead Man's Shoes 5 times.

daiixi · 22-10-2006 7:31pm

Star Wars and The Fifth Element.

Sad Professor · 22-10-2006 8:35pm

Well I would get sick of them eventually but I could certainly watch the following alot:

Brazil
Fight Club
The Big Lebowski
About Schmidt
Lost in Translation
Dances with Wolves

Crucifix · 22-10-2006 8:42pm

Paper Moon, Shaun of the dead, and the first half of Batman begins.

Carcharodon · 22-10-2006 10:18pm

If it could only be one film i could choose then it would be Jaws, there are loads more but that would be on top

Wacker · 23-10-2006 4:13pm

Certain movies are great, but you wouldn't want to watch them too often. Examples are United 93, Requiem For a Dream, The Taxi Driver, etc.Others, I could watch a thousand times. Examples below:
The Shawshank Redemption
Dazed And Confused
The Godfather
Se7en
Goodfellas
The Matrix
Heat
The scene in The French Connection when they tear the car apart looking for drugs (I have no idea why I like this bit so much; kind of like the A-Team building something played backwards!)

Chinafoot · 23-10-2006 7:17pm

The Goonies
Monsters Inc.
Grosse Pointe Blank
Leon
Dodgeball
Anchorman
Office Space
The Green Mile

Not to mention my perverse addiction to watching disaster movies over and over again:

Sad really.
