View Full Version : Most Re-Watchable Flick
StarOfEight 05-29-04, 08:39 AM Self-explanatory thread, methinks.
Starting with a few honorable mentions ...
Super Troppers- Stupid as all hell, but hilarious. The Broken Lizard dudes have a pretty good comedic chemistry, and Farva's basically a live action Cartman, so there's always a laugh around the corner.
Clerks - No budget, no production values, no acting ... and one of the most quotable scripts ever written. That, and there's just enough depth to keep it interesting.
Predator - It's got two Governors (and a Harvard professor) in it. Respect your betters!
Also, it's fuckin' retarded.
Heat - Pacino's well past his prime, and DeNiro's beginning to slip, but it really doesn't matter, because they've got some great lines ("Empathy was yesterday. Today, you're just wastin' my motherfuckin' time.") and the huge firefight is awesome.
But without a doubt, the winner ...
The Big Lebowski - There's no real plot to speak of, but each scene is hilarious. The characers are all amazingly vivid ... I mean, Jesus Quintana has two scenes, and he steals both of 'em ... Tara Reid, who doesn't even qualify as an actress is great (not suprisingly, playing a cock-sucking runaway) ... the Big Lebowski bears an odd resemblance to Dick Cheny. Walter's the ultimate gung-ho shithead.
But the real reason is the opening, with "The Man in Me." It's just a perfect, chilled, relaxing song that gets you in the mood for the film. The music's great throughout, too ... the Gipsy Kings cover of "Hotel California," the Creedence when after his car's got stolen, the "Just Dropped in" song during his second hallucination.
kazakhan 05-29-04, 08:45 AM The Fifth Element...
I've watched it at least 300 times:D
Dreamwalker 05-29-04, 08:45 AM I would definitely agree on The big Lebowski.
Perhaps Fight Club as another movie worth of rewatching. I like the characters and plot.
Spaceballs would be another one.
And all the old Bud Spencer and Terrance Hill films, I cannot get enough of them somehow.
The Princess Bride. It is also a valuable tool for drinking games.
cosmictraveler 05-29-04, 09:12 AM Godzilla (the original)

A Shot In The Dark
The Time Machine

Star Treck-allofem
Dune-myall time favorite.
I'm very fond of action movies. My all time favorite of these

Godless.
StarOfEight 05-29-04, 10:30 AM Even the third one, a.k.a. the most disappointing and unnecessary film ever? (Excluding the canon of that Arquette cocksucker)
sideshowbob 05-29-04, 11:09 AM Conan the Barbarian - best movie of all time. I've seen it several hundred times - til the tape (and VCR) wore out.
Princess 05-29-04, 12:09 PM Raising Arizona - white trash and black humor. What's not to love. Like 'The Big Lebowski', 'Mallrats' and 'Clerks', the dialogue is so witty and utterly quotable.
StarOfEight 05-29-04, 12:30 PM The Coen Brothers can make themselves a film.
Kevin Smith too, but not so much.
Ste_harris 05-29-04, 12:36 PM Aliens the directors cut of this is amazing, use to scare the shit out of me
when i was llike 8 but i really do love it now
The Waterboy i know Adam Sandler isnt the best, nor is the acting or even the
films plot... i forgot where i was going anyway i just love the comedy violence
There are load of dodgy B movies that have a lot of replay value i just cant think
of any right now :confused:
The Wings of the Dove
The Portrait of a Lady
***
The Professional/Leon
***
Fearless
***
High Noon

chunkylover58 05-29-04, 05:01 PM the "Just Dropped in" song during his second hallucination.
Yep. Kenny Rogers and the New Christy Minstrels. YES....THAT Kenny Rogers!!!!
Movies that I must sit down and forget everything I'm doing and watch, regardless of whatever I was originally planning on doing, when I'm flipping through the cable and there it is:
Sling Blade
The Godfather
Swimming With Sharks (Kevin Spacey at his best. GREAT film.)
Pulp Fiction
Raising Arizona
Adam's Rib
Inherit The Wind
12 Angry Men

StarOfEight 05-30-04, 05:57 PM Roman ... Jesse Ventura was the Governor of Minnesota, and he's now a Harvard professor, and Schwarzenneger, is of course, the Governator of California.
http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/01/09/ventura.reut/
EDIT: It appears he's only a visiting fellow. Still, someone prominently involved in Predtaor now holds a position at the most prestigious university in the United States.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (LEAVE ME ALONE)

Moulin Rouge
-----
not really a movie but a documentary I guess:
The blue planet.
-------------
and as a series:
Blackadder (4th series)
StarOfEight 05-31-04, 03:20 AM For TV series, all hail Family Guy. Even after the shock value wears off, the stupidity of Peter and Chris, the addictiveness of Brian, and the sheer lunacy of Stewie are still hilarious. Lois and Meg? Not so much.
Dreamwalker 05-31-04, 08:49 PM Another rewatchable movie would be Shrek, I have just seen it today and think it is pretty good.
As for TV series, perhaps the Simpsons or South Park, but I have to say Family Guy is also pretty good.
eddymrsci 05-31-04, 08:53 PM definitely IDENTITY
it's so good because it's one of those movies where you have to think after watching it to fill in the gaps
Weird Science
The Lotus Eaters

eddymrsci 06-01-04, 08:22 PM oh yes, the Matrix too
Esoteric 06-01-04, 08:37 PM Old School, Seven, and Terminator 2 are probably the only 3 movies i can watch multiple times without getting bored.

StarOfEight 06-01-04, 11:34 PM Wasn't that a UPN show?
NightFall 06-01-04, 11:53 PM Ocean's 11, and the first Tomb Raider (while second was good, it drags on a bit).

NightFall 06-06-04, 09:00 PM oh just thought of another one Spy Game. i like those all-in-one-day kinda movies... even if the subject is one i try to avoid, its a pretty good story.

"May seem odd, but disney's Aladdin. I've seen it several times and every time I watched it I noticed some new things I never noticed any of the previous times."
Ha! like when he says "good young teenagers take off their clothes" it happens, like, the first time he jumps up to the princess's room, and the tiger starts to growl at him, or sometime around then. I'm telling you, Disney's guys are sick
eddymrsci 06-12-04, 11:22 PM have we mentioned THE USUAL SUSPECTS
definitely re-watchable
