Movies you've seen over 5 times and will watch again

[salsdali]

A trend I notice, many...if not most, seem to post movies that are historically substantial. Nothing wrong with that obviously. Sometimes, a member seems to focus on fantasy, others Sci-Fi, others, feel good movies.

It seems that I am in a minority (so far) that posted comedy as a front-runner. I think. But, I'm not keeping track...so there is that.

Just observations. Nothing more.

It is also very interesting to me how some people really seem to like a certain genre, director, style, etc.

I think movies are highly subjective to a persons tastes and it's why movie critics and awards are virtually meaningless because unless a certain movie fits your tastes you're probably not going to like it and may go so far as to say it's a "bad" movie.

some more:

Hoffa
Born on the Fourth of July
Reservoir Dogs

YES, The War of the Worlds (1952 which is almost never shown on TV anymore

Agreed. I often see the newer remakes, but they hardly ever show any of those old classics on TV anymore : The Thing From Another World, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Them, etc... I guess they expect us to watch them online or on DVD.

No Woody Allen on the list. Too creepy?

Sleeper
Annie Hall

I loved his early films: Bananas, Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex, Love and Death, and etc... I remember watching Sleeper over and over. His later films are also good Hannah and her Sisters, Crimes, Midnight in Paris, etc... I just don’t watch them again and again.

and these 2 beauties...

 

[The Rang]

North By Northwest
The Fifth Element
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Six Days Seven Nights

There are others that escape me for the moment. Some of the XMen and Jason Bourne movies. Multiple Hitchcock’s

The Final Countdown (1980)

The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier goes back in time, to the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor, to face the Imperial Japanese Navy. Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, Katherine Ross, Charles Durning and James Tarentino. How come no one is remaking this movie?

I’m a big fan of Harrison Ford. Recently I enjoyed him in the 2013 movie about Jackie Robinson, titled “42”. But one film that I never tire of watching is The Fugative (1993). Harrison is good but so is Tommy Lee Jones. This scene is classic:

'Cool Hand Luke'. Outstanding film. 'Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan' probably 10 times.

 

[soundboy]

Battleship (2012)

USS Missouri battles aliens. I have seen this movie at least 10 times. Never gets old.

 

[Lute]

In memory of Kirk Douglas. RIP

A childhood favorite. I remember seeing this with my Dad.

 

[soundboy]

Movie version of The A-Team (2010)

Liam Neesom (as Hannibal), Bradley Cooper (as Face), Sharlto Copley (as Murdock), "Rampage" Jackson (as B.A. Baracus), and Jessica Biel.

 

[soundboy]

Hachi - A Dog's Tale (2009)

Based on real events, the story of a dog who waited at a train station for his owner....for almost 10 years. Guaranteed to have you crying like a baby.

 

[marpow]

I like all Harry Harryhausen movies.

 

[MoB1]

In the Line of Fire -1993 (the last time Clint Eastwood didn't direct himself?)



Best Supporting Actor that year was Tommy Lee Jones for The Fugative (1993)

 

[Fourplay]

In honor of this thread I watched an old favorite tonight:

Electra Glide in Blue featuring Robert Blake before Baretta, as well as what is said to be the first (and uncredited) screen appearance of Nick Nolte. Also appearing as credited actors are Peter Cetera & Terry Kath from the band Chicago. Uncredited are musical performances by the band Chicago as part of the excellent soundtrack. A cult classic!

THE GAY GOYIM COWBOY MOVIE

Ah yes... Ang Lee’s films

Why remake a CLASSIC, Soundboy? You know they're just going to screw it up. Low Budget but high concept. Loved the original.
