What movies will you always watch?

Cafe Society
21

Citizen Kane
Singin’ in the Rain
The Princess Bride
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
A Christmas Story
Miracle on 34th Street
Wizard of Oz

22

Mostly silly movies I remember from childhood:

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
The Great Race ( can’t remember if this is the real name, but always love to see the pie throwing scene)
Mary Poppins
Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World

and several others I’ve never seen all the way from the beginning so I don’t know the title.

23

I’ll do the same thing; if a movie I own on DVD appears as I’m channel-surfing, I may stop and watch it. There may be a psychological reason for this, but I don’t know what it is.

24

Apocolypse Now

I have it on DVD so I can watch it any time I want and that is far too often. But once it is in the player I am pretty much done for the next three plus hours.

25

I saw Shallow Hal 17 times when it was in the theaters, and have lost track of how many times I’ve seen it on DVD.

It is the greatest movie of this millennium, after all.

26

I do this too. I almost prefer movies on TV to DVD’s; it’s a lot easier to channel surf. Plus, I’m usually reading whenever I watch TV and if the movie is a DVD I either pause it for so long the player turns off or feel compelled to go back and rewatch what I wasn’t paying attention to so it’ll take me six hours to watch a two hour movie. (yeah, I know that doesn’t make much sense :dubious: )

27

Yuck. I thought it was awful. Except, of course, for:

“Bausch and Lomb!”

Quite possibly the funniest line in any movie, ever, bar none.

28

Jaws
Tremors
Quiz Show
Better Off Dead
Pretty In Pink
Some Kind of Wonderful
Gentleman’s Agreement
The Princess Bride
Born Yesterday (the original)

29

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who re-watches Overboard. I know it’s a totally dumb movie, but it’s perfect to have on while cooking and cleaning.

I’ll always stop and watch The Ref. It’s my favorite Christmas movie. Denis Leary ranting in good form, and Kevin Spacey telling Glynis Johns (the mom from Mary Poppins) to STFU. And yes, I have the movie on tape, but somehow it’s more satisfying to watch it on TV.

Others include:

The Abyss
Best in Show
Compromising Positions

30

The Quiet Man
Raising Arizona
Little Shop of Horrors
Fellowship of the Ring
The Seven Samurai
The Big Lebowski
Spaceballs
Dracula: Dead and Loving It
Any ST:TNG movie

I know all of the above movies fall into the definition of the OP, because if I try to pause on them while channel surfing, Mr. Pug will always say “Haven’t you seen that movie a million times already?”

31

Many already mentioned. I have copies of Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman and A Mighty Wind I never tire of The Godfather & sequels. I’m as bad as a Rocky Horror fan. I have to watch it while wearing a pinstripe suit, big wingtip shoes (never know when you’re going to have to kick your brother-in-law’s ass) and pistol with a taped butt. “I believe in America…”
Love Atually has become a favorite. Yeah, it’s a mushy, chick-flick date movie. Well **** you! I’m a life member of the NRA so I can have my goddamn feminnine side. :smiley: I like Liam Neeson’s line, “we need Kate and Leo and we need them now” before he watches Titanic with his son. Of course with this movie it’s “we need Liam and Hugh and Laura and Emma and Alan and mega-bleeding-etcetera…”

32

After I hit enter on my original post I remembered Groundhog Day. :smack: How can you forget Groundhog Day!

One odd thing that I note is that in general I do not enjoy movies by SNL alum, but 3 on my list include Bill Murray.

33

Hey, don’t **** me! I personally think it’s the best movie ever made. The only reason it didn’t make my list is because it’s too new to play on TV. The Wisconsin scene alone is enough to make it a classic.

One I forgot: My Cousin Vinny.

34

Helter Skelter
Lorenzo’s Oil

35

Me too. I’ll just watch that over and over and over again.

36

Any of Clint Eastwood’s Spaghetti Westerns… …

A Fist Full of Dollars
For A Few Dollars More
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

37

Withnail and I
The Big Lebowski
Mitchell - MST3K version

Balls to Monty!

38

no one mentioned Back To The Future.

39

Aliens

The Thing (Kurt Russell version… never saw the old one)

Jaws (the latter part, with the 3 guys on the boat)

Tremors

Terminator II

Predator

Superman

The first or third Indiana Jones movies

(Hmm… looking at the list, I notice 62 percent of them are “small group of people isolated and under attack from something”)

40

Airplane!
Jacob’s Ladder
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (remake comes out this coming summer, y’all)
Young Frankenstein
Silence of the Lambs
Red Dragon (but not Hannibal. The book was much better. And I for one liked the book’s ending better.)
Anarchy TV
200 Motels
Clerks
Mallrats
Chasing Amy
Dogma
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
(still haven’t seen Jersey Girl)
