The Big Lebowski
Once Upon a Time in the West


Starman's and Raiders of the Lost Ark's chick was Karen Allen.
 
Lebowski! Such a classic.

I heard about some "lebowski fest" that they hold once a year. Sounds like a blast, and really... how could it not be?

Edit: Gotta love John Goodman's character in that flick too.
 
#1 favorite movie of all time: Snatch. I've seen it several dozen times and could literally watch it two times in a row.


Any good modern zombie movie a close second.
 
Master and Commander, I don't know why. I'm not especially fond of nautical movies or the time period.
 
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - incredible musical score and best ever showdown.
The Last of the Mohicans - the scenery and DD Lewis and Madeleine Stowe great together.
Millers Crossing - tremendous cast and such great dialogue
 
Blazing saddles
Young Frankenstein
Caddyshack
The Blues Brothers
The Hunt for Red October
Napoleon Dynamite
12 Angry Men
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

I'll think of more...
 
Tremors...not a great movie, but I will watch it to the end every time. Something about Reba with heavy artillery...

Spaceballs
History of the World Part 1
Strange Brew
 
A lot of them do, most of my favorite ones can just pull me in no matter where in the movie I discover it, but the weirdest one has to be the Kennau Reeves, Gene Hackman movie about a cobbled together pro-football team during an NFL strike,

It's gotta be one of the silliest movies out there, the sports radio station I listen too just absolutely loathes it, and won't even call it a sports movie. But I just get sucked into the whole buddy movie concept of all the goofball characters they recruited, like the Sumo wrestler, the chainsmoking (on the field even) soccer player as kicker, the "ganstas" and the deaf player, and how they all come together to be a winning team.

And the stripper cheerleaders don't hurt either.



And the dance number.



I can turn it on anywhere, and end up totally drawn into it. Crap, I think I need to watch it now...

based on the '87 Redskins, so +1000 for Revvy!

Tony Robinson -- the QB that relieved Ed Rubbert and beat Dallas in the 3rd game of the strike, was on work release from prison at the time and was the inspiration for the ex-con DB in The Replacements.
 
So many but off the top of my head are;

Tombstone (all time favorite)
Blues Brothers
Fifth Element
Austin Powers (all of them)
Die Hard (1)

I didn't know any of that...COOL! Makes me like it even more.

:mug:
 
Band of Brothers. And since they always show it in marathons, once I see it's on, I'm done for the day.
 
Shawshank
O' Brother Wher Art Thou?
Dazed and Confused
Animal House
Goodfellas
The Blues Brothers
Rio Bravo
Oceans 11

Way to many to remember them all
 
Fargo. If I stumble upon this movie while channel surfing, I HAVE to watch it 'til the end.
 
The Paranormal Activity movies, I know, their a bit of a train wreck, but for some reason I dig em.
 
Definately Princess Bride, but there is also no way I could surf past The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, or The Magnificent Seven.
 
Some of them suck me in but I can't do it when they have to be edited for regular TV. Like Snatch: "Personified in this case, by an 'orrible runt, me." Or Scarface: "Where'd you get that beauty scar? Eating pineapple?" Or Casino: "Freak you, Sam Rothstein! Freak you!"

Can't do it.
 
JonM, considering you're avatar, I was surprised I didn't see:

"This is what happens when you FIND a stranger in the ALPS."

I get sucked into Lebowski, TV edit or not.
 
Yup.

CBC, during the NHL lockout of '04-'05, late Saturday night.

Also classic, "Get out of my peaceful cab!". Or, "Flip it. Let's go Bowling."

I started watching whilst Woo was micturating on the Dude's rug. Even with the editing, like i said, I get sucked in...I watched 'til the very end.
 
Lincoln just sucked me in big time! We finally sat down to watch it even though I've had it for awhile. Their depiction of the politics involved in the passing of the 13th and the end of the war was amazing.
 
Evidently the Harry Potter series pulls me in as well.

I've seen Deathly Hallows a few times now, never seen it through in one sitting though.
 
There are many flicks that I love, but if I had to choose just one, it would be

The Matrix.

The first one. All on its own, no sequels. When I first saw it in the theatre oh-so-many years ago, I was utterly blown away. I was entirely sucked in...

Surprised this thread got to 8 pages without mention of it (or did I miss it?). Am I the only one that completely loved that flick?

Aliens! Game over man! It is the reason I decided to work in the movie business. Still my fav after all these years. It has a nice slow burn like a cigar. Then once **** hits the fan, it doesn't let up. Great story, perfect sequel, great score, great actors, wonderful suspense, and top notch sound and editing. If you ever get to see it on the big screen, it's one of the loudest films ever made.

Speaking of Aliens. That is one sequel that surpassed the original. We were having a discussion at work trying to think of other sequels that were better than the original. Short list.

Idea! I'll make a thread on it. See what happens.
