Fun Thread! What was your favorite movie & enjoyed watching it a second time?

[GPIDEAL]

Geez there are a few, including some already mentioned, and not limited to the following:

Shawshank Redemption

Cool Hand Luke

We Were Soldiers

Goodfellas

The Godfather

JFK

Thirteen Days

Van Helsing!

 

[GPIDEAL]

Midnight Express

I was thinking about this movie the other night but haven't seen it in ages, although it was a great movie at the time. The music is phenomenal.

 

[GPIDEAL]

This movie is always great to watch over.

 

[Bopper2]

The Dude abides. The Big Lebowski!

 

[Ridgeman08]

And lets not forget THE GAME. That movie kept me at the edge of chair the whole time. What a spectacular ending.

Oh yes! I love those movies that keep you guessing! That one is a helluva a ride!

JFK

Thirteen Days

Van Helsing!

Also very good choices. Seen all three multiple times. And the best thing about Van Helsing is STILL Kate Beckinsale in form fitting leather! (Also why the Underworld series is re-watchable!)

Yes, it's hard to pick just one but I'd still have to say The Shining is my favourite. Shawshank Redemption is probably in my top 5.


Also:

The Wizard of Oz
This is Spinal Tap
Titanic
Grease
The Fisher King
Forrest Gump
Casino
Footloose (don't laugh!)
Back to the Future (again, don't laugh!)
A Clockwork Orange
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Psycho
Casablanca


These are the movies I can watch over and over and not get bored.


Also Pink Floyd's The Wall though not sure if it's a typical 'movie'.

You picked some repeatable ones. I have the 25th anniversary edition dvd of The Exorcist. We should see that one together (cuz I'm scared to watch it alone). I'm sure you can extinguish my fears.

Not only is Kate looking good in that leather, it's that Transylvanian accent that drives me nuts. Goddammit is she sexy in that movie.

Titalian's posting of The Game is intriguing. I don't recall seeing this movie but then I've seen many and maybe it slipped my mind.

Lucky Number Slevin

Apocalypse Now

Cloud Atlas

Fuck. I saw Apocalypse Now Redux in the theatre. I think I have the anniversary edition DVD somewhere in my collection.

For Easter - BEN HUR

For submariners - DAS BOOT, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, CRIMSON TIDE

Here's a great scene.

 

[Luton]

The movies are coming to me piecemeal but two more I have to add to my list are Gone with the Wind and Lawrence of Arabia. In my opinion two of the greatest acting performances I have ever seen were Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara and Peter O'Toole as Lawrence. One of the biggest travesty in Oscar history is that Peter O'Toole did not win an Oscar for his brilliant portrayal of the title character.

John Paul Jones scene in Thirteen Days

Worth the watch! One of my favourite scenes. (The trailer above shows Curtis Lemay pissed off at the Kennedys. This scene shows a Navy Admiral who is trying to do his own thing. It shows what JFK was up against. Some say military intelligence had a part to play in the assassination. These scenes make you wonder.)

This movie is always great to watch over.

Yea I agree this was a good one. To bad this young actor ended up in prison on murder charges.

 

[Titalian]

Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Really? I didn't know that.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

I loved that movie at the time.

Let's not all forget IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.
