DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum What movies can you watch over and over?

Casablanca
African Queen
Wizard of Oz
Top Gun
Shawshank Redemption
Pay it Forward
Sleepless in Seattle
Scent of a Woman
The Exorcist


There are more.....many already mentioned

"A League of Their Own"

Pretty much anything John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant made I can watch again and again.

Not a huge movie watcher, but here are some of my faves:
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
Matrix
Forbidden Planet
Patton
The Replacements
Major League

I forgot about Rocky Horror although I don't know if it's a classic to me, but rather than an ode to my formative years. It's the kinda of movie that I like to pop in the DVD player every once in a while and I think that if I watched it too often, then it might lose it's spark.

Rocky Horror is yet another that I can cite word for word / lyric for lyric (with the necessary addendums, of course ). It's also yet another that garners those looks of "are you OK / you are so not cool" from my kids and wife. I just can't understand why they won't do the Time Warp with me.

Several folks have mentioned some Steven King novels turned movies. While I enjoy many my favorite is Stand By Me. It was an adaptation of Kings' short story, "The Body" and I really appreciated the way Rob Reiner captured the bonds of youth. King has always been good with that.

I would never have guessed King wrote that.

GREAT movie.

(pp) What are you gonna do kid, shoot us all ?

"No Ace,..just you."

Jaw's
any Eastwood movie.

All these football fans, and I haven't seen The Waterboy mentioned yet? I admit I'm quite disappointed.

Blazing Saddles

The Lord of the Rings (extended versions)
Kill Bill
and so many more.

From Here to Eternity
In Harms Way
Gettysburg

Scarface

I'm sure there's a ton more... I'm a bit of a movie junkie.

I'll get flamed for this but Titanic I have (no joke) seen probably about 50 times. Most of the watching was during hard times years ago our cable got shut off and we pretty much watched that every night for a couple weeks but whenever it's on tv I still watch it. Awesome movie.

The other movies I never get tired of watching is The Outsiders, Tombstone and Beautiful Girls.

Forrest Gump, Jaws, Saturday Night Fever, Rudy, almost anything from Al Pacino.
All of them movies I never tire of.

Forrest Gump the most.

The Girl Next Door
Rocky 3 & 4 (primarily 4 for the "music videos")
Goonies
Hangover
Clash of the Titans (Harry Hamlin version)
Dazed and Confused

While we're on the subject of movies, just watched a great one...The Town

Wizard of Oz
A Christmas Carol (only the one with Alastair Sim)
Shawshank Redemption
All three of the first Star Wars series
Forrest Gump
The Green Mile
A League of Their Own
Remember the Titans
African Queen

There are many more, those are just the ones I quickly thought of.

We rented that the other night, and it was good, but I did not like the message.

Remember the Titans
Avatar
Step Brothers (HILARIOUS EVERYTIME )
Boomerang

I'm not real big on watching movies again and again, but there are some movies that just seem so compelling that I'll watch if they are on. It has to do with the atmosphere of the movie; maybe someone who knows about "cinema" can explain it to me - its just a certain something that I can't really put my finger on. Movies like Alien, Aliens, Bladerunner (Ridley Scott?), just about anything by the Coen brothers (Fargo, Millers Crossing, Blood Simple, and others), the Godfather, Jacobs Ladder. Movies that draw you in and, for whatever reason, stay with you. There's probably a lot more, but thats what comes to me right now through the mild haze of my New Years Day mini-hangover.

Independence Day
Fletch

- Any or the original three Star Wars
- Rudy

That list could very well be my list.

I really like Hunt For Red October. The book was better but I love the movie

Ferris Bueler's Day's Off
We Were Soldiers
Christmas Vacation--cracks me up EVERY time
Finding Nemo
Dr Strangelove
Raising Arizona

Yes, I love There will be blood. Most of my friends thought it was boring or they just hated it. I definitely thought it was better than No country for old men that year.

YES! Both good, but TWBB was awesome.
