    you know the one i mean? For some reason you just keep finding yoursef going back too it every now and again.

    For me, i'd say i watch any given sunday about three times a year and def over christmass when i'm at a house with someone who hasn't seen it. I also prob watch rounders on my own every couple of months.

    Now, i know these aren't the best films in my collection by any means but thats not the point of them imo.
    So whats yours?

    The film I always go back to is The Matrix.

    It was on last night, on FIVE I think. It hasn't really aged well visually and the sequels have almost stained the first, but I still love watching it.

    I remember walking out of the cinema with my brothers and saying, if I could make movies, that is exactly the movie I would make.

    "You boys like Mexico?!!"

    The Bourne films for me.

    Also watch Rocky whenever I'm sick - The Stallion peps me right back up again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,886 ✭✭✭beans


    The Big Lebowski, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, No Country For Old Men. They'd get the most repeat viewings in my house for sure.

    Scarface (have 3 copies of it!) - love that movie!

    The Big Lebowski, Withnail and Shawshank would be close

    and for my guilty pleasure it'd be The Wizard of Oz!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kraggy


    Naked is the one film I can watch over and over and not get sick of it.

    Also watch Requiem for a Dream more than others in my collection. Just think it's a work of art/genius.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,988 ✭✭✭constitutionus


    i find myself watching "my science project" alot. breaking it out at least once or twice every month or two.

    its a little 80s B movie. about the only guy in it you;d recognaise is dennis hopper and your man from short circuit. its about a guy who's in danger of flunking his science class so he breaks into an old army junkyard to find something he can fix up to pass off as a project and stumbles upon an alien e gine that warps time and space when powered up and all the chaos the ensues

    its well scripted and alot of fun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 991 ✭✭✭SuperGrover


    Goodfellas
    Happiness
    Audition
    Miller's Crossing
    Requiem For a Dream
    One Flew Over thw Cuckoo's Nest
    Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Old Boy, Lady Vengeance


    Note to self... Must. Get. Life.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭chamlis


    What I tend to do is watch bits of films repeatedly rather than the whole movie.

    But the most full repeated viewings would have to be
    Terminator 2
    Jurassic Park
    Ghost in the Shell

    Withnail and i, apollo 13, twister(its always on),
    The departed, toy story(still the best animated movie imo)
