Which movie do you wish you could see again for the first time?

Here's another thing to consider though. What if you had seen a certain film, at the theatre, at just the "right time"? This is a film you may have never even seen in a theatre. What film may have completely changed your life? Remember, there are things quaintly called repertory theatres (art house theatres) which still play ancient, classic, cult, or just plain good, films, so depending on where you live or visit, you can still do this "hypothetical".

I truly could name just as many films as Yoda didn't name in his earlier post because there are so many significant films.

I don't know. That seems like too much to think about. Be happy with what you've experienced. Time travel doesn't exist, yet.

Of course it does. It's called the Imagination. Or Books. Or Movies. Or Art. Or Music. Or Sex. Or Love.

There are so many great films that I've seen over the years and watched them over and over. But I gues if I had to choose, starngely I would go for 'Back to the Future' (all three!). I have watched the DVD's so often that even wife knows the script.

Alright yall... could somebody hook me up with that podcast already?

I still can't get it, and when I went to my saved stuff, the file was all screwed-up!

Can't you get it through iTunes?

There are many films I enjoy, but what I'd like most would be to stroll down to the theater one day and discover for the first time a new film every bit as good as my favorite classics. Not likely, however, since Hollywood is now remaking some good classic films from my youth into "updates" for a younger audience with a shorter attention span and greater demand for gore, violence, and chases.

My memory is so bad, if I watch a movie I haven't seen in several years, it's like I'm watching it for the first time anyway.

I'm like that about a lot of mystery novels and short stories--that's why I like 'em so much. I really get my money's worth by reading them over and over again having forgotten the plot. Like Law & Order and NCSI TV reruns for the same reason. I might remember the opening scene and one or two spots, yet not recall the identity or motive of the killer, so it's like watching it for the first time again.

For me that will always be Jaws.
I watch it about twice a week and never ever get sick of it. It's just one of those things that I wish I could have discovered when I was a lot older than I originally did, so I could have appreciated it more when I first watched it when I was about 5.

Dark City...Donnie Darko...Stay...Equilibrium...there's a ton.

Like Yoda, I probably could list so many films that fall into this category. There are times when I really wish I could experience a film for the FIRST time again.

But one movie jumped into my head... I would love to experience Gladiator again for the first time. To feel that rush when watching this unknown (to me) force of nature named Russell Crowe who, from the first moment I saw him, I was breathless.... to sigh when he and Commodous confront each other... to hold my breath again at the end...

Mesmerizing. It was incredible. I would love to live that night all over again.

Well, it's not the film that I generally think is the best I've ever seen. It's the film that had the most profound emotional impact on me and as some of you might know from reading my Best of the Year thread, that's Magnolia.

Just why I feel that way, you can read right here.

Definately Raiders of the Lost Ark, even though I didn't see it in theaters,
because I've seen it so many times now and it has affected my life a lot.

I still can't get enough of that movie. One of the few I can recite any line from (Including Army of Darkness, lol).

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

I totally agree. I also gave you an addition to your reputation.

Wait Until Dark to not know what's coming my way and jump sky high in my seat again.
