I haven’t known what movies to watch lately. Does everyone have their own treasure movies that they’ve seen many times? 😀
- Month Python and the Holy Grail
- Young Frankenstein
- Seven Samurai
- LOTR Trilogy
I see a lot of LOTR fans here. Good crowd.
In steam of consciousness order:
- Young Frankenstein
- Princess Bride
- Double Indemnity
- Nightmare Before Christmas
- The Breakfast Club
- The Fifth Element
- 12 Monkeys
- The Terminator
- Star Wars (first trilogy)
- Harvey
- The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
- Men In Black
- The Incredibles
- Inception
- E.T.
- The Sting
- Grease
- Ghostbusters
- West Side Story
Probably a number of others
The Fifth Element is the quintessential sci-fi movie. Literally, the word quintessence means “fifth element”.
It’s so completely enjoyable.
I second most of these, especially The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
I would add most Kubrick films including Dr. Strangelove and 2001.
Also, Being John Malkovich, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Dawn of the Dead remake 2004
The most recent film I can’t stop watching is Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Theives.
Dr Strange love, 2001, and Being John Malkovich are all movies I’ve seen more than three times.
I haven’t seen it listed here in a quick scan, so:
Office Space
I love that Swingline only introduced the red stapler after Milton made it famous
I lost count:
Primer
Napoleon Dynamite
Primer doesn’t count. You haven’t watched it once until you’ve watched it three times.
So 9==3?
Princess Bride
I’ve probably seen Hot Fuzz more times than any other movie. It was a comfort movie for a while.
Mornin’ angle
Jurassic Park. (1,2 and 3)
Tremors (1 and 2)
Lake Placid (RIP Betty)
And Then There Were None
The Thing
Robin Hood (Disney animated version)
Star Wars (Original trilogy + Episode 1)
Addams Family Values
Django Unchained
Inglorious Basterds
Pulp Fiction (not a Tarantino stan, I swear)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Aliens
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Ironman (first one)
Pacific Rim
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Big Short
Probably more than that TBH. I rewatch a lot.
Django Unchained
Inglorious Basterds
Pulp Fiction (not a Tarantino stan, I swear)
I laughed at this. Can’t deny he’s made some great films!
True. I wouldn’t say he’s the greatest, but the guy has a good sense of pacing, framing, and understands how to create a narrative with just the camera.
i don’t even have an answer for that. but i grew up pre-internet and owned lots of video tapes.
i’m marveling at the notion that there may be people who haven’t rewatched movies a lot?
Pretty much any studio Ghibli movie. Have watched spirited away, Totoro, howls moving castle, valley of the wind, and many more more than 3x. Don’t often rewatch stuff but have a soft spot for ghibli!
All LOTR and Harry Potter movies
Hot Shots! Both, btw
Just cause these haven’t been called out by the top comments-
True Lies
The Hunt for Red October
Great adds
Baby driver ! Love it.
Mulan, many times, same with toy story, all the pooh movies, up, over the hedge, soo many like that
Almost heroes is a must watch. About hurt myself laughing at it. Same with both ace Ventura’s.
Baby driver was such a creepy rewatch. Everytime Kevin Spacey called the young male character by the name “baby” it made me cringe.
That’s the biggest downside of that movie. I just try to ignore it best I can. He did play that part so well
A ton, but the one I’m most inclined to talk about is The Thing (1982). We rewatch it almost weekly since I introduced my spouse to it which is amazing because each time we spend about an hour afterwards dissecting the things motives, the order of replacements, different theories, etc. It’s truely one of the best movies ever made. The practical effects get a ton of praise, but for me it’s just gotta efficiently the movie is at what it does. You know every character within minutes of their appearance, you feel the alienation and paranoia, and the thing itself is so inexplicable that even after hundreds of watches in my life time I genuinely can’t rationalize why it does what it does.
The 2011 one would have been better if they left in the pilot alien and had better set and custome guys. It doesn’t feel like a pequal, it feels like a remake set in 2011.
