OT: Movies that you will watch over and over

[visitingcock]

The thing I hate about these is reading the entries after yours and your like, wait, yeah, I should have wrote that one or you see you missed one in a previous entry. And I would have included "There's Something About Mary" on my list.

Heck, I forgot a whole genre of SciFi when making my list. Alien, Bladerunner, etc. also forgot Master and Commander and A River Runs Through It. My follow up list could be longer than my original

 

[64Zcode]

Lots and lots of the ones already listed and will tack on a couple not listed.
-Serenity, from the Firefly TV series
-Streets Of Fire mostly for the soundtrack (and Diane Lane, of course), certainly not for the deep, meaningful story.
-The Warriors for the soundtrack again and the visuals (plus Deborah Van Valkenburgh)

-And most recently Ford Vs Ferrari. I have the DVD but can't resist it when it comes on a TV channel.
Great true story, love the GT40, and have always had a thing for Old Fords.
Hence my garage:

 

[Forego]

What????? No Film Noir fans? My favorites are:

Too Late for Tears
Gilda
Gun Crazy
Double Indemnity

 

[Jackcatscal]

Most anything by Clint Eastwood, but this one is special to me. (And my late wife and I went to Angel Canyon in southern Utah, where a lot of it was filmed.)

 

[Rixxx]

How about that great Robby Benson movie "One on One".

 

[RockyMTblue2]

No Country for Old Men

Such a heart breaking line: "You don't have to do this you know."

Thanks to those who have posted Young Frankenstein. I can't believe I missed that one -- that and Life of Brian are sometimes dismissed because they're comedies, but they're two of the absolute best movies ever made.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, whence my avatar and handle came, is of course another one that I missed.

Thanks also to those who've mentioned the Coen brothers. Raising Arizona is another one I could watch every year.

Crazy Rich Asians is another; don't think that's been mentioned. I actually watched it on a plane flight out west, then a week later on the flight back. Then probably a month after that to show my wife and daughter.

 

[luvgiraf]

A Few Good Men
My Cousin Vinny
Mississippi Burning
Remains of the Day (must be the chemistry between Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson)

 

[Cornell Lt]

The Warriors

 

[GoUconn7961]

1. Godfather II only - I can recite it verbatim
2. Silence of the Lambs - Anthony Hopkins & Jodie Foster at their best
3. Bridesmaids - When I want to laugh. Melissa McCarthy is the star in this one
4. Speed - Any movie that has Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves and non-stop action is ok w/me
5. The Professional - with a young Natalie Portman
6. Goodfellas - The best soundtrack of all time - I shoulda' been a mob wife...

 

[dbmill]

What????? No Film Noir fans? My favorites are:

Too Late for Tears

Double Indemnity

Double Indemnity is another favorite of ours, one of the best Film Noir films around.

 

[DeepThreat]

• Lord of the rings trilogy
• The Commitments
• Treasure of the Sierra Madre

[SinBin]

Wow, "Adventure in Babysitting", a long time ago, but that's the movie that made me fall in love with Elizabeth Shue.
"The Hunt for Red October"
"Secretariet"

I fell in love with Elizabeth Shue during Karate Kid and then reaffirmed with Cocktail.

 

[Zorro]

"My Cousin Vinnie", only for the fantastic and Oscar winning performance of Mona Lisa Vito on the witness stand.
Seven Samurai, Princess Bride, To Kill a Mockingbird for timeless excellence.

 

[Kaizen]

Rebel Without a Cause (Natalie Wood and James Dean).

 

[ThetaZoo]

I rarely watch TV except for UConn Basketball and Survivor. Try and not to miss a game or the show. When bored its Netflix and Disney + if my granddaughters are here visiting. If nothing suits me then I will channel surf for a movie to watch. I believe that this topic was an OT once before. What movie (s) have you watched over and over. I will list five of mine.

1) The Shawshank Redemption - Just an awesome movie.
2) The Godfather - Reminds me of my family except for the crime
3) Remember the Titans - Awesome true story
4) The Blindside - Great story and I watched this NFL Draft
5) The Replacements - Watching the team sing "I will survive" while in jail is worth the watch.

I can go on and on. Tere are plenty more but I mentioned five.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but Good Will Hunting is maybe my favorite.
