Movies you wish to watch, or want to watch again

[SVCBeercats]

Stand and Deliver
12 Angry Men
Gone with the Wind
Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles

 

[BBallF]

I feel like this list is a subset of movies that you will stop and watch if you scroll by them on television.

The Godfather
Casablanca
A Few Good Men
True Grit
12 Angry Men

All of them come to mind as movies I'll stop and watch.

For the " I gotta stop and watch now" list I would take your top 2 but then add Goodfellas, Godfather II and of course Hoosiers.

 

[BRS24]

Field of Dreams
Shawshank Redemption
Legally Blonde
John Wick (any)
Top Gun (both)
A Few Good Men
any of John Hughes movies
Pitch Perfect

(on edit - these are the movies that I will rewatch, sometimes simultaneously, much to the chagrin of my husband.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Scarface (with Al)
The Chronicles of Riddick
Practical Magic
Bourne (first two)

 

[Kaizen]

The Thief of Bagdad,
A 1940 British Technicolor Fantasy film.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

True Grit - The 2010 remake is really good too, with Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Hailee Steinfeld.

Two westerns I really love - Unforgiven and Open Range. Plus TV mini-series, Lonesome Dove, with tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duvall, Danny Glover and Diane Lane.

Recently watched a sleeper - Appaloosa(2008) with Ed Haris, Viggo Mortensen, and Renee Zellweger. Worth a watch.

Appaloosa is a very fine movie. Renee out of character, but did well with it. Maybe my most favorite movie, I have watched again and again, The Quiet Man with Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne and a huge cast of very well known actors. My favorite line: "here's a stick to beat the lovely lady with."

 

[Just.A.Fan]

Braveheart (1995) - Mel Gibson at his finest.
Rob Roy (1996) - Liam Neeson
The Patriot (2000) - Mel Gibson
Legends of the Fall (1994) - Brad Pitt

Just a few, I could go on and on.

Please don't laugh, but one of my guilty pleasures is Meet Joe Black. Brad Pitt made some interesting choices playing Death, Claire Forlani was captivatingly beautiful, and Anthony Hopkins was, well, Anthony Hopkins.

Another guilty pleasure is American Graffiti, with Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Cindy Williams. George Lucas early movie. ( I believe THX 1138 was his first.) This movie so reminds me of my youth, it's scary. The music, the cars, so nostalgic. I believe the first movie to tell four different stories simultaneously. A technique later used by Seinfeld.

I’ve watched On the Waterfront so many times that I know just about every line in the movie. In the Saintly words of Father Pete Barry, played by Karl Malden, “Gimme a beer!”

[Kaizen]

Mulholland Drive, a David Lynch classic from 2001.

Another one from David Lynch is Lost Highway, very good one.

 

[Jackcatscal]

The Princess Bride
Ghostbusters

One absolutely terrific thing about Ghostbusters is that Bill Murray extemporized most of his lines: "Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

 

[Jackcatscal]

I’ve watched On the Waterfront so many times that I know just about every line in the movie. In the Saintly words of Father Pete Barry, played by Karl Malden, “Gimme a beer!”

"I coulda been a contendah!"

 

[Jackcatscal]

Most of the Tarantino movies.

The opening and closing scenes in Pulp Fiction are amazing. Pumpkin and Honeybunny stand on the table to rob the diner. Same scene, same characters, but the camera angles are different. And the dialogue is ever-so-slightly different.

 

[boontonbomber]

I must see "Rain Man" again before I pass on. Shawshank is the best movie ever made, Ground Hog Day the worst.

 

[ctfjr]

"A Man for all Seasons" 1966

 

[NEforceUConn]

1995 Pride and Prejudice (Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth). I watch it every year or two. I think it’s the best-ever dramitization of a novel.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai - such a goofy yet exciting SF movie.

Holiday (Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant). I watch that most years around Christmas, it’s a wonderful romcom.

Every time I see Better Off Dead, I say I need to watch it more often. Same with Contact and Crazy Rich Asians.

Watched Buckaroo Bandai for the first time. My thought is you must smoke a lot of good weed.

 

[Rocket009]

A few guilty pleasures:

Michael - best John Travolta movie
The Fifth Element - Gary Oldman is such a good villain
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Lawrence of Arabia - on a really big screen (even better in a old school movie theater with a huge screen)
Bull Durham
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Blade Runner
The Grand Budapest Hotel

 

[Sifaka]

Elvira Madigan
Five Easy Pieces
El Topo
Blow Up
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown



And…sliding off topic just a little, my favorite film critics were Vincent Canby, Pauline Kael, and Bosely Crowther.

 

[CL82]

Ground Hog Day the worst.

 

[CL82]

A few guilty pleasures

Oh, that's an entirely different list, which would include Roadhouse for me.
