5 Movies You Would Watch Over and Over Again
 
What are 5 movies you would watch again and again (they really don't even have to be on your top 10 if you think about it.) I would have to go with:

5. Watchmen
4. Slumdog Millionaire
3. Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story
2. Jurassic Park
1. Ghoulies

5. Watchmen
Come on, a film that has been trying to make it to the big screen for about 20 years is watchable even if it sucked (which it didn't in my opinion.) And the special effects mess with your brain, in a good way.

4. Slumdog Millionaire
This being one of my favorite movies, I could watch this all day for a month and still enjoy it more and more every time. This one was just a plain movie I loved, so that is why I added this one.

3. Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story
Family Guy isn't what it used to be, but I have to say that it is still funny, however many may disagree. I feel like the movie however managed to pick up the entire series, and this movie was just hilarious.

2. Jurassic Park
This action mixed sci-fi horror classic seemed to never end, and that is what I loved about it. Even though the film is based off of a novel, I feel that Spielberg made it into a true classic.

1. Ghoulies
This movie almost killed me. This was definitely an extremely wasteful horror movie, and I even considered it a comedy. That is why I chose this as number one, because it is fun to make fun of.

Re: 5 Movies You Would Watch Over and Over Again
 
There are a bunch of films that I enjoy watching over & over again. But outside of my top ten, I never got around to ranking 'em into any kind of order. So, for my post, I'm just gonna take 5 different genres & post a film that falls under the category of that particular genre. Each of these titles is not in my top ten & is one that I've watched & will probably continue watching many times over:

Science fiction:
5. The Abyss

We humans are a species capable of our own destruction. Or of our own salvation.
And though sometimes, it's can seem like we're going down the road of total annihilation, there's still enough within us to choose otherwise.
At least, that's the kind of hope the water-breathing life-forms from outer space in this film seem to hold about us.
Personally, I think this is James Cameron's masterpiece. It's actually two stories in one. The alien storyline that provides the twist for the film, crossed over with the tension building plot involving the scientific crew & the naval SEAL team. And both plots, while differently paced, are still very excellently executed. Now, while the edited version that was originally released into theatres is a fine film, for my money, the uncut version is what truly reveals just how great this movie really is.

http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g..._Photo-133.jpg

Horror:
4. The Thing

This is one of those films that I tend to view over & over again more because of the warm childhood memories that it evokes, of seeing it when I was a kid.
I remember first watching this & my young mind thinking to myself what a weird & yet kick-ass life-form the "Thing" was in this movie.

http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...0e41193997.jpg

Action:
3. First Blood

Another film that I recall fondly viewing as a kid.
I remember first watching this & my young mind thinking to myself what a weird & yet kick-ass life-form Sylvester Stallone was in this movie.

http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...97d1193997.jpg

Gangster:
2. Bugsy

Bugsy is a mob flick that doesn't even try to compete with other mob flicks. And therefore, it succeeds as a gangster movie that stands out on its own. It almost completely removes the realistic-type dialogue & the grittiness that is usually associated with this genre. I can almost sense the same sheen that the old black & white mafia films used to use to screen over the mobster characters & give em that "romanticized" look that they became famous for back then. For all their ruthlessness, the major players in this story come off as very likeable people.
And along with Warren Beatty & Annette Benning, you just can't beat the supporting cast of Harvey Keitel, Ben Kingsley, Elliot Gould & Joe Mantegna.

http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...4fc1193997.jpg


Crime with a dash of dark comedy:
1. Pulp Fiction

Because Pulp Fiction is like pie.
And any time is a good time for pie.

http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...Photo-12-1.jpg


For me, the list can go on & on. Especially those certain movies that get shown alot on television, that, whenever they come on, I find it difficult to turn the channel. Marathon Man, Shawshank Redemption, Jaws, Ronin, The original Wolf-Man, Plains, Trains & Automobiles, etc..

I would say I could watch Following over and over again. I just love the guerilla style filmmaking of that film. It gets me and makes me feel like I could make a film! I would reveal other films but that would clue people in on my Top 10 films..;)

Re: 5 Movies You Would Watch Over and Over Again
 
My number 1 movie would be City of Angels. Then Love Actually (a comedy-romantic movie). My 3rd would be My Sassy Girl (the original Korean movie--made me cry over and over again). Wanted would be included in my list (the stunts are so good!!!). Fourth will be Dead Poets Society (it's an old movie..but a real good one). And lastly, So Close (it's a good movie,,very heartwarming).

rufnek 04-29-09 04:49 PM

Re: 5 Movies You Would Watch Over and Over Again
 
Movies I have watched multiple times:
Citizen Kane, simply because it's the best movie ever filmed, with one of the top casts ever.

Double Indemnity: The best example of film noir with Edward G. Robinson, Barbara Stanwick in one of best roles ever, and Fred MacMurry stealing the show in one of his rare but great bad-man roles.

Bad Day at Black Rock: Spencer Tracy in one of his toughest roles, stealing scenes from other veteran actors such as Robert Ryan. A small cast with probably the biggest proportion of former and future Oscar winners ever assembled--Tracy, Dean Jagger, Walter Brennan, Ernest Borgnine, Lee Marvin.

From Here to Eternity: Great but very different performances by Burt Lancaster, Borgnine, Montgomery Cliff, and Frank Sinatra. Sinatra won best supporting actor Oscar and revamped his career. Good girl Donna Reed won an Oscar playing a watered-down version of a whore. Of all the war movies ever made, this one best captures the spirit and reality of the Regular Army in the days just before World War II. They use real soldiers in base scenes; it's a pleasure to watch them march. Filmed in the very barracks where those troops were stationed in Hawaii.

Trying to pick the fifth one, there are just too many contenders. The Quite Man was John Wayne's best film and a fine example of ensemble performances, but so many pick it that it's almost cliche. Wayne's second best film, The High and the Mighty is less well known or mentioned, but he played it without his wig and looked more like his real age in his performance as "the old pelican" co-pilot. One of the first films about an airliner that loses an engine and faces destruction while in flight. Then there are the westerns, The Searchers, the best western ever, and in a close second Shane. But these two are frequently mentioned, and I just made entries in other threads about great comedies such as The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, Hail the Conquering Hero, and One, Two, Three.

But if I've got to pick a fifth, right this moment I'd choose The Caine Mutiny, a good adaptation of a great book, one of Bogart's greatest, most nuanced roles for which he seldom gets proper credit. It's got Lee Marvin and Claude Akins in their early careers, it captures the reality of a wartime navy (as does Mr. Roberts), it's got MacMurry in another great bad-guy role, and it spotlights Jose Ferrer, a remarkably good actor who seldom gets enough credit for his roles. I've always assumed that his shoulder must have really been broken when he played that role, or else that was the most inspired costume ever conceived for film.

The common similarity in flicks I watch continuosly is how quotable they are. Not in any particular order....

Glengarry Glen Ross

http://imagecache5.art.com/p/LRG/10/...-glen-ross.jpg

If you have ever worked in sales at any time in your life this movie is a must see. The performances not only were awesome the movie was so well cast each part complimented each actors style perfectly. Alec Baldwins best 10 minutes of his career by far.

I was running a phone room one time, and suggested my top salespeople see this. They did, and the entire office was quoting the film constantly since there were so many opportunities too as the day would wear on. One guy had a small cassette player where he recorded all the choice lines (this was before the mega cellphones).

If youve never been in sales though Ive found people think the movie as ho-hum.

Tombstone

http://notquiteamerican.files.wordpr...-c10134915.jpg

Yeah I know the MoFos eyes are a rollin with this pick, but if youre looking for a great beer n pretzels western thats quotable this is the flick. Val Kilmers performance in this jumpstarted his career. Just full of juicy quotes.

Gladiator

http://images.teamsugar.com/files/up...iator_ver1.jpg

An epic with no flaw, and the best epic made in the past 20 years. This movie did for Rome what Unforgiven did for the western, and thats show us how it really was. Maybe it wasnt but Ridley Scott sure sold us all on his vision.

When Harry Met Sally

http://www.impawards.com/1989/poster..._met_sally.jpg

The best romantic comedy ever made! Sorry but Rob Reiners a genius, and this movie made Meg Ryan a star, and for good reason.

This last one had no real quotable lines.....

Fist Of Legend

http://www.asiateca.net/wp-content/u...stoflegend.jpg

....it was just the best martial arts movie ever made.

My 5 are:

Gladiator

Like Tongo, I can watch this film over and over. (On a personal note, after 9/11 and watching the news footage for about a week, I found myself incredibly depressed. My husband came home one night and I was watching Gladiator. He said, "Gladiator?" and I responded, "I wanted to watch something that reminded me of the world before 9/11." The film had come out just the year before...) I love Russell in this movie and the return of the uncompromising hero.

Have watched and would watch over and over again.



Stand By Me ( Rob Reiner, 1986 ) - Not only is this my favorite book turned film, but, also my favorite all time film in general. Rob Reiner did an incredible job of getting astounding performances out of all of his cast. If you watch the bonus material on the DVD you will see that he really goes to extreme lengths to drag out the potential that he knew he had found in the four young actors.

What else is perfect about this movie? The camera work, the narration by Richard Dreyfuss, the clever use of period music, the attention to detail (like the old Hills Bros. coffee can the kids pitch rocks into at the junkyard), the pace and rhythm. The juxtaposing of the main storyline with detours like Vern's penny hunt and the sad but hilarious tale of Lard Ass Hogan is brilliant, and makes this a hard film to get tired of no matter how much you see it.

One excellent scene in particular, the real gem in this crown, is where Chris (River Phoenix) tells Geordie (Wil Wheaton) about his milk-money experience. It was the strongest point of the film, by far the most emotional and River Phoenix acted well beyond his years, more believable than most adult actors.

To give this film as high praise at it deserves is near impossible.





The Lost Boys ( Joel Schumacher, 1987 ) - The sets were excellent, the effects were horrifically believable, and the characters were well developed enough as to give the audience a good dose of concern for the principal participants. The addition of Laddie on the milk carton shows the level of detail and care given to this attempt, and the soundtrack just adds so much as the songs are fitting and right with each scene.

Full of great one liners and comedic performances (Barnard Hughes is great as the eccentric taxidermist/grandfather). The Lost Boys is a film showcased by the small touches: we still have the usual vampire yarn, but the youthful overtones create a different effect. Schumacher creates a film that is not only a fun take on vampires but a creative take on teenagers and their neverending trek to belong.





Ghost World ( Terry Zwigoff, 2001 ) - The comedy in Ghost World is not the gut-busting type, but rather the quiet situational type that's amusing. At the same time, as we laugh at the nerds, geek, freaks, dorks and dweebs that inhabit Ghost World, the film works to humanize them in our eyes and raise a sympathy for them. Suddenly their eccentricities seem less strange and more interesting. And like Enid, we find ourselves drawn to them.

This film is excellent for its creative portrayal of disenfranchisement, discontent, and the humor that saves us from despair.




The Outsiders ( Francis Ford Coppola, 1983 ) - Francis Ford Coppola and Kathleen Rowell did a good job bringing S.E. Hinton's highly acclaimed story to the motion picture format. It's got a good, solid story, beautiful photography, convincing acting by the leading actors and a nice score.




My Own Private Idaho ( Gus Van Sant, 1991 ) - Brilliantly acted and directed, with fine use of colour, recurring motifs and bold credits, Idaho possesses a rare, dream-like quality. The camera shots of long horizon-spanning roads and skylines, fast-motion clouds, surreal and symbolic shots of houses and rushing rivers provide the film with a strange almost other-worldly charm. The music too is well chosen, and complements the magical dialogue perfectly.
