Movies

Since nobody asked me...here, in no particular order, is my list of movies that can be watched over and over and over again.

• The Big Lebowski
• Scrooged
• Animal House
• Tombstone
• Midway
• Apocolypse Now
• Fargo
• Bram Stoker's Dracula
• A League of Their Own
• Sandlot
• Unforgiven
• Kill Bill I and II
• Pulp Fiction
• Fried Green Tomatoes
• Wonder Boys
• Grand Canyon
• Dave
• Stone Cold
• Independence Day
• Summer Rental

I'm sure I've missed a few, so feel free to add to this list...please remember tho, just because a movie is good doesn't mean it belongs on this list. In fact, some of these movies are bad movies. The criteria for this list is that when you're flipping channels and you see a movie on, you're compelled to stop and watch it, even if you watched it three times yesterday.

Cheech and Chong: Up In Smoke
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Primer

Great ones...I especially like Kill Bill and Christmas Vacation....

Snatch
The Jerk

Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. (You reminded me of that one with 'snatch')

and, of course....

MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL!

Definately Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. I would also like to add Happy Gilmore. I am just a Adam Sandler fan

Three more from me, and then I'm done:

Fight Club
Goodfellows
The Godfather, Part II

(GF Part I is pretty darn good, too, but I couldn't watch it over and over and over. GF Part III? you can throw that one in the trash.)

• Any episode of "Band of Brothers"
• Zoolander
• Super Troopers
• Star Wars IV, V, or VI

I haven't seen all of the movies listed but I'm pretty much actor driven. I can watch anything with the Duke, Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Clint Eastwood or Bruce Willis in it. Almost forgot Bogey.

Yes, and yes. I never get tired of either of those. I agree with most of these.

I see that we all have more than just beer in common

I've thought many a time that this was some sort of evil cloning conspiracy, but I never mentioned it because last time someone mentioned a conspiracy (kornkob I think is was) they immediately disappeared.
Uh, oh! See you guys (or not I guess).

Now there's an idea. Should I have a white russian with that, or the dude's other favorite? I know, I could do both! Somewheeeere over the rainbow...one pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small...all we are is, another brick in the wall...tumbling along, like a tumbling tumble weed.
Sorry dudes...starting the winter solstice celebration a little early.

Gotta add Cadyshack
and Blazing Saddles

Scarface, Rockstar and Man on fire.

Braveheart
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (so bad it's good!)

And here we are right back to that lifted kilt stuff. Funny how it all ties in...kind of like a Seinfeld episode.

It's fantastic, but I've yet to find a man that likes it. Their loss! (Mind you, I'm talking about the 5-hour BBC version, not the new one with Keira Knightley that sucks.)

Well, in that case, Rob Roy! As I recall, there's a interesting interlude involving a lifted kilt in a field. (Plus, it's just a damn good movie!)

Did anyone mention The Goonies yet? I grew up watching that all the time.

There have been some excellent choices named. I'd add:

The Wicker Man
Porky's
The Evil Dead movies (either of the first two)
Lord of the Rings
Clerks
My Cousin Vinny

Raising Arizona
Millers Crossing

Yojimbo (Japanese samurai flick)
Sanjuro (the sequel, They were remade into "Fistful of Dollars" and "A Few Dollars More")

How could I forget The Usual Suspects?

good thread EP.

i forgot Office Space (yea, that'd be great...)
(good call on the Evil Dead movies too!)
and Uncle Buck is on Spike tonight!

My personal favorates are:

Mallrats
Dazed and Confuesed
Blues Brothers
The Princess Bride
PCU

FYI, El Pistolero - you should be embarrased about Titanic! Ha ha!

I agree with a lot of them but here's a few to add - if you haven't seen some of them I highly recommend:

• Nothing But Trouble
• Army of Darkness
• Donnie Darko (especially you, Walker)
• Orgazmo (no, it's not porn)
• Dark Crystal
• Labyrinth
• Never Ending Story
• Dune (old one, not new one)

And some classics that everyone has probably seen:

• Big Trouble in Little China
• Conan The Barbarian/The Destroyer
• Groundhog Day
• Office Space

And I'd just feel bad if I didn't mention:

• Indiana Jones - all of them
• Star Wars - all of them
• Lord of The Rings - all of them
• Matrix - all of them

AHU

The Outlaw Josey Wales
The Matrix
The Hudsucker Proxy
Easy Rider (only when incredibly - especially the opening credits!)

Great picks here! But I cannot believe that nobody has picked one of the all-time great classics: Cool Hand Luke!"Nobody can eat 50 eggs."

Also, didn't see This Is Spinal Tap "This one goes to eleven" on the list.

How 'bout:

Platoon
O' Brother, where art thou ?
Das Boot
Pirates of the Carribean
Master and Commander
A Beautiful Mind
Tommy
The Song Remains the Same
Big Wednesday
Cable Guy
That last one struck home for me. I went on service calls for weeks afterwards knocking real fast on the door and calling " cable guy, cable guy !

I was younger and stoned then. Still seems funny.

Das Bootie?

Man, great choices here. I love Fargo, Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona... the Cohen Brothers are awesome. How about Royal Tennenbaums, Bottle Rocket, really, any Wes Anderson movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (actually watched it, then rewound it and watched it again, without a break), Kingpin (one of those bad but good ones), definitely Goonies (already mentioned), Waking Life, Reservoir Dogs, Animal House, True Romance, Princess Bride, The Graduate, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (not Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...that one was ruined by full house moments), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Adaptation, Truman Show, Very Bad Things (not a popular choice, most likely), Nightmare on Elm Street (the first three), Dazed and Confused, Legends of the Fall (yes I'm a dude, and not gay), Man on the Moon, Sin City, Terminator 1&2, I could go on.

Gremlins 1&2, Tremors, The Aviator...

I'm trying to stop. Any one of these movies I could watch over and over.

Citizen Kane, M, RKO 281, Jacob's Ladder, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, The Good The Bad The Ugly, Bridge on the River Kwai, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, City of Gods, Das Boot, Downfall, Office Space ..

Too many to list.

Chinatown, Goodfellas, Go!, the Doors, JFK (if I watch this I can go to sleep in minutes, no matter what time of day or night it is, for that it's worth mentioning), Ghostbusters 1&2, American Beauty, (I would mention 25th Hour, but it's not really one you can watch over an over...great movie though), Friday, Half Baked, Money Pit, The Toy, Short Circuit...

Nice work!

Most of the good stuff mentioned already - did i miss 'Seven Samurai' by Akira Kurosawa in all the Lists?

You previously referenced watching "The Wizard of Oz" while listening to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" - which I have done myself many, many times. I think "Donnie Darko" is something you would like. Some nice trippy, psychedelic aspects. It's also really funny.

Most people have never heard of it because it was originally set to be released in the winter of 2001. It ended up going straight to DVD in America, however, because the film has a scene that depicts an airplane crashing into a skyscraper. Given the events of 09/11, the films producers rightly decided that that kind of imagery might come off as a bit insensitive.

Fav part of the movie: the conversation about the sexuality of Smurfs.

Enjoy!
