Movies you can watch over and over and never tire of them.

I adore the Zero Effect. 1998 Bill Pullman, Ben Stiller

It’s a movie with no good guys or bad guys. They’re just a bunch of … guys … who are trying their best to cope with a very strange situation.

It also contains the best possible advice on avoiding getting caught following someone. You get caught following someone when that person looks back & sees you following. Avoid this by getting to the destination first.

This advice can be seen as a joke or as a metaphor for serious life advice. That’s why its brilliant. The whole plot has been carefully constructed or balanced on the edge of social norms.

Speaking of carefully constructed worlds, another of my favorite films is Moon. What an incredible voyage of discovery!

I like films that have consistent internal logic. I love characters that follow a logical path. I love journeys in which a compelling story unfolds.

I’m one of those folks who can watch movies over and over again. I’ve got like 800 DVDs on my shelf, and many of them have had multiple rewatches. MANY have been mentioned in this thread. For example, I probably watch The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Kill Bill; A Moment to Remember; and **Goodfellas **at least once a year.

However, the ONE movie that has infinite rewatch value for me, due to me finding fresh nuances every time I watch it is: Mulholland Dr.

Do you mean whatever happened in the plot?

It is one of the extremely rare movies in which the guilty get away clean and free.

Or do you mean what happened to it at the box office? I have no idea how much money it made or whether it was considered a commercial success. But it is one of my most favorite films of all time. It’s not a great film. But it just keeps me glued to the screen for the whole movie.

Just Steve Martin’s personal tribute to all the great noir detective movies from the 40’s & 50’s - and a very unique take on it, IMHO, with splicing in all the great scenes/actors from previous films. Woody Allen did it in “Zelig” and critics called it brilliant. DMDWP actually came out a year prior to Zelig. I personally find the film very funny and think it was a brilliant idea between Steve Martin and Carl Reiner.

Now, if you want to discuss lousy Steve Martin films, let’s start with “The Man With Two Brains”

77

Thank you! Finally someone mentioned Pulp Fiction. Even though I have watched it so often that I am now co-voicing a lot of the vocals, I never get tired of it.

78

Bert is still hilarious in the second one.

“I feel I was denied critical, need to know, information.”
“I handled the first wave with a combination of small arms fire and hand to hand techniques”

But without Bacon and Ward chemistry it’s just not the same.
