If you could forget 5 favorite movies.

CyberGhost

I mean completely erase them from your memory, to rewatch again for that fresh "wow" factor.

Which ones would you choose?

here's my list

1. Terminator 2
2. The Thing
3. Goodfellas
4. Dumb and Dumber
5. Shawshank Redemption

I'd love to re-watch the above 5 without knowing every bit of a dialoge in them lol.

c - 13

In no particular order

• Spinal tap
• Shaun of the dead
• monty python and the holy grail
• pink floyds the wall
• The exorcist

THeres probably more but those are the ones that I know almost every line of so it might be nice to watch them fresh.

Rhyme

The Thing - "You gotta be f*cking kidding"

The Matrix - primarily for the liquid mirror part near the beginning.

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - the Ringwraith's introduction, enough said.

Saving Private Ryan - The Beach and that fight at the end too.

Groundhog Day - I love it now just as much as the first time but id like to see how it sizes up to everything ive seen from then up to now.

Thrill

1.The sixth sense
2.Platoon
3.Raiders of the lost ark
4.Jacobs ladder
5.Jaws

Plus tons more, too numerous to mention.

Everytime I watch 'Regeneration' it brings up new subleties.

That's the beauty of re-watching movies, not the 'wow' factor.

Jello

Lord Of The Rings
Gladiator
Shawshank Redemption
Fight Club
Aliens

Dont be at yourself

Star Wars
Jurassic Park
Shawshank Redemption
Pulp Fiction
Spiderman

SoupyNorman

LOTR - The rollercoaster of emotions experienced in any one film
Dumb and Dumber - Still my funniest film
The Matrix - Origionality does not come often
Oldboy - The twist of all twists
Pitch Black - A great sci-fi

johnny_ultimate

Donnie Darko - to be returned to a state of perpetual confusion
Garden State - just to see that final scene again
Spinal Tap - for that Stonehenge reveal
Spirited Away - never been so wowed by a film

Edit: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - because it is apt. And to bring it up to five.

-Empire Strikes Back (but then I'd need to say Return of the Jedi too)
-Return Of The King as long as I get a cinema to myself with the biggest screen possible.... also, free popcorn, is that part of the deal?
-The Matrix blew my cybermind as a young fella back in the day: "Whoa..."
-Leon
-Hmm Hero maybe, again in the cinema: multiple eye-orgasms.
Or Stargate (but then I'd have to forget the whole 10 seasons of SG-1 and 3 seasons of Atlantis)

We're talking massive lobotomy here, all these films and shows take up huge portions of my brain!
I doubt I would survive the erasing process.

seven
6th sense
fight club
Reservoir Dogs

I don't think I'd pick the star wars stuff. As much as I love em, I don't think it'd be the same seeing them for the first time as an adult.

Anchorman: I love Anchorman, but I watched it too much and ruined it for myself.

On the Waterfront: We studied this for the leaving cert, so my first experiences with it were watching it in blocks, with the teacher interjecting comments every so often. I'd love a chance to experience it properly first time round.

...that's all I can think of.

BopNiblets

Time travelling back to being young isn't part of the deal either?
What a jip!

Brow

Back To the Future comes instantly to mind. I love that film...

TerrorFirmer

-Starship Troopers
-Platoon
-Saving Private Ryan
-Star Wars
-Robocop

Looks like terminator 2 is the winner so far and it would be on my list anyway
Terminator 2
American beauty
Leon
Matrix
Heat
but im trying to make a list of movies all of you have not listed so.....

Id like to forget (no order)

Blues Brothers
Sin city
Star Trek II - The Wrath Of Khan
The Last Supper

Hmmm i cant seem to pick a 5th movie, im thinking brave heart because that was a good movie to watch or maybe gladiator....
What about Golden eye? That is my favorite bond movie i just love it

Also See:

Conspiracy (For those that have not seen it its well worth a watch its about a meeting of Hitlers top staff and they recovered only 1 transcript of the meeting which is what this movie is based on)

ionapaul

Two films stand out for me as having totally, utterly, completly blown me away when I first saw them in the local cinema (partially to do also with what a young lad is into back in the day as well):

-Terminator 2
-Dumb and Dumber

I really vividly remember coming out of the Claddagh Palace cinema in Galway after having to queue for about 1 hour to see T2 on its release and thinking: 'there will never be another movie that cool...EVER!' I think I was right, I have never had another movie experience near that good. Any guy that was a teenager back when T2 came out should surely have the same story?!

Jurassic Park was the ultimate cinema flick for me as a young 'un!

gustavo

Sixth Sense , I'd like to have been able to watch it without having been told the ending before hand
Donnie Darko , just for the feeling of wtf afterwards
American Beauty - to bask in its brilliance

The Bollox

Terminator 2 is a fantastic flick, especially watching it the first time.

Unfortunatly T2 was the first one of the series I watched, so the whole thing of thinking Arnie was the bad guy didn't happen to me, but I wish, I really wish I could have that experience.

Maxwell

I have 3 that immediately spring to mind because they are the ones that had the biggest "oh jesus" reaction:


Shawshank Redemption
Seven
The Usual Suspects

Oh yes, it made a big impact on me as an impressionable 10 year old as well!
I went dinosaur crazy for a while. Even collected the movie trading cards!
I still think it's a brilliant film...

Basq

Yep.. as do I.

Had a VHS of it which was on practically every day, but was stolen outta my brother's apartment as a young un' - wasn't happy!

But bought the trilogy boxset recently if just for the first one, and decent second film.. third was muck though!

cashback

Yeah didn't know what to make of the third. Got decent reviews but I was bit too old for the 'dino-magic' to work on me again I'd say!

i love that film. that'd be top of my list. i find myself reciting the script as they're talking at this stage

kawaii

Attack the Gas Station - the most ridiculously hilarious movie I've ever seen ever.
A Touch of Zen - Such amazing imagery. I'd love to see all that for the first time for a second time. Best monks ever...
The Street Fighter - Best Action Movie Ever. I could feel it when he manually castrated that black guy.
2001 a space oddysey - So intense, but if I watched it again I'd probably lose interest..
Rambo III - The bit where Rambo and Trautman are facing an entire army and Rambo's just like "**** em". You only get that line once in a lifetime. Ludicrous!

User45701

I forgot about blues brothers. Definatly blues brothers no .1 on the list
kill bills aswell

Sandwich

Trainspotting
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Moulin Rouge
Magnolia
Matrix

Nick_oliveri

Matrix 2 (primarily for the highway chase/truck blowy uppy scene!!! It makes me come in me panties yeash!)
Terminator 2 (goes without saying)
Poltergeist 1 (mmmmmmmm....mommmy, boom boom boom!)
Falling Down. ("Hey, Mr. Lee! D-FENS!" )
Full Metal Jacket ( "I am in a world, of shít")

~Rebel~

Hmmm...

1)The Big Lebowski. definately in first anyway. know it too well now and was blown away by it first time.

2) Leon. up there with very tip top favourite films ever.

3)Austin Powers. So so so very funny.

4)Zoolander. See above.

5)A Bronx Tale. Absolutely fantastic movie, my first peek into the genre too (which i discovered i loved) so that'd be it for that wow gangster factor again.

Peyton Manning

Donnie Darko - But it would have to be rewatched about half a dozen times...
Requiem for a Dream
Shawshank Redemption
Butterfly Effect
Borat, simply because Ive never leaughed so much in my life.

Sean7

I'd love to watch Star Wars in episodic order (1-6) without knowing what happens. Although then the end of Empire wouldn't be as good and all the **** Obi-Wan said about Vaser killing luke's father would be an obvious lie and leia and luke kissing would have been more unsettling. OK nevermind, I'm happy as I am!

Karl Hungus

Bah, I was hoping we weren't going to have many more of these kinda threads. Honestly, these kinda threads are just spam. So we get people to list off films (in this case, 5 films you'd forget) and it just goes on... Then what have we got? We've got a thread devoid of discussion, that ads up to nothing but spam.

Kindly have a look at the charter, and see the section about pointless threads.
