The Star Wars OT. Probably ROTJ specifically. That was like an every weekend thing when I was a kid.
I’m afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:
2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Miller’s Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard’s seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
From Russia With Love.
The Spy Who Loved Me.Frankenstein (1931) with Boris Karloff.
Lord of the Rings.
"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. "
Queue the goosebumps, we’re in for a hell of a ride.
That one is probably up there for me when it comes to total watch time (and we combine all 3 movies).
I’ve seen all 3 in the theatric release initially and after that I’ve watched through the extended editions 2 times. That’s like 30h+ at least.
Same, except I snatched up both the theater and extended the minute they came out and have watched through them all numerous times. As well as now watched a lot of reaction videos for them, which I guess counts too. It’s fun to reexperience the first time through someone else’s eyes.
I rewatch The Hobbit trilogy and LOTR (both extended) every year with my wife. I would prefer just watching a fan cut of the hobbit as I don’t think those are very good, but my wife likes them and a happy wife is a happy life.
So I think I have seen LOTR at least 8 or 9 times and hobbit maybe 4 times.
That still doesn’t come close to a Swanlake cartoon movie that I obsessively watched 4 times a day when I was around 5 or 6. My parents insist I must have watched it well over 100 times.
The Princess Bride. It’s such a fun adventure that still holds up really well today.
INCONCEIVABLE!
That word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
I still need to watch this, thank you for reminding me.
Spaceballs, Ghostbusters (original), LotR, Labyrinth, The Holy Grail…
Ghostbusters for me too. Never gets old :-)
Ghostbusters is probably the single movie I can quote from one end to the other.
That and maybe Robocop.
Where do those stairs go?
They go up.
Another entry for me would be “Robin Hood (1973)”. I haven’t rewatched it in a long time, but as kids we (my brother and me) wanted to watch that movie over and over again. I’ve seen it more than ten times at least.
Oooodelolly!
Everybody do the Hamster Dance!
Office Space. The Usual Suspects used to be on TV all the time back in the day and is probably a close second.
The Matrix. No other movie is even close
Yup. Insane movie.
Crazy how dog shit all the movies after the first are, though.
Probably Chevy Chase’s Christmas Vacation since it has been tradition every holiday season.
As a kid, Rescuer’s Down Under or The Paper Brigade was re-watched a lot.
Apart from that, it’s a close tie for:
- The Matrix
- Sin City
- The Chronicles of Riddick
- Terminator 2
- The Sandlot
- I, Robot
- Joe Dirt
Just good replay value.
The Sandlot is such a great film. Even my daughter who doesn’t know anything about baseball loves watching it with me. There is no other movie that gives me the same feelings as that. There is no major drama or traumatic incidents. Just kids having fun over the summer.
You know nowadays they would have made the stepdad an alcoholic or animal control would have come and taken Hercules away after they found out he was nice, or some other kind of drama like that. But this movie doesn’t do any of that. It’s just a fun story about a bunch of kids being kids.
Airplane!
Didn’t expect to see that one here, but good choice
The Big Lebowski
You want a toe? I can get ya a toe. Believe me, there are ways dude, you don’t even wanna know about ‘em, believe me. Hell, I can get ya a toe by three o’clock this afternoon, with nail polish.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail or The Fifth Element.
Monty Python’s The Holy Grail
Groundhog Day
It’s my goto movie to put on when I’m sick. Can pass in and out of consciousness and you still kinda know what’s going on.
