Movies you want to watch many times

[lurkingdirk]

What's a movie you want to watch over and over? I don't mean just because it is cool, or has great effects, but because it is a great movie. Because it moves you, or motivates you, or shows you some truth?

I'm currently watching Shawshank Redemption. Again. This movie is amazing. In addition to an absolutely stellar score, ridiculous attention to detail, and exceptional cinematography, it has a story that is compelling, and, as the title suggests, is a true story of a certain type of redemption, which is compelling.

What's the movie you want to watch over and over again?

Goodfellas, it just never gets old. There are many great films that I can watch repeatedly but I will eventually get sick of it if I watch it enough but not this Scorcese masterpiece. The acting is top notch and Joe pesci plays the best gangster in mafia film history.

The Green Berets with John Wayne I've seen I couldn't tell you how many times. Where Eagles Dare is another great one. Forest Gump....don't think there is a number of how many times I've seen it. Black Hawk Down is another.

The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers (1974) get played time and time again. I'll also go with Shawshank Redemption. I also seem to have a thing for The Aviator. I've purposely watched it many times.

Oh shit, I almost forgot The Commitments. Thank God for DVD because I would have worn out 5 or more tapes of it by now.

The Temptations
The Count of Monte Christo
The Time Machine
Flyboys
Nobody's Fool (Paul Newman)
Lost In Translation
Finding Forrester

And......that's about it.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The good memories always outweigh the bad ones. This movie kills me when he's begging to keep just one memory of her. Just this one.

There's too many that I could list and give some snippet about, so I'll limit myself to just titles and only the first 5 that pop into my head.

M
The Seven Samurai
King Kong (the original)
Duel
The Conversation

Excellent choice. That's such a great moment - the desire to remember the good, even from a relationship that ended shit.

Awesome.

I love watching the picture "Nixon". Anthony Hopkins puts in a fine performance who portrays the 37th president and Joan Allen puts in a brilliant peerformance as Pat Nixon, as well as the rest of the cast. I love Oliver Stone's filmmaking techniques he employs in this film and he really takes a lot of filmmaking risks and imo the risks pays off. There is a lot of Shakespearean tragedy in this film which I find really fascinating and of course the character Nixon. A haunting yet fascinating individual who rose and ultimately fell from grace. Nixon is movie I never ever get tried of watching.

Other films I never get tired of watching...

Night Moves
Exotica
The Contender
Belle De Jour
Monsieur Hire
3 Women
Shame
Auto Focus
Persona

Awesome.

This is it. It'll all be gone soon.

I know.

What should we do?

Enjoy it.



I've started a few threads based around the premise of this movie. Easily my favourite movie ever. Great memories are priceless.

Once Upon A Time In The West and The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. For an Italian dude, Sergio Leone understood the American western quite well.
Stalker. A tragically forgotten film, but one I cannot take my eyes off of. Tarkovsky had one of the great director's eyes ever seen.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy, uncut. What the fuck. Have to have fun films, too.
Schindler's List. Oppressively beautifully shot.
Field of Dreams. James Earl Jones is enough to want me watch the movie over and over. Of course, the last line "Hey...dad. Want to have a catch?" breaks me down every time.
Monty Python's In Search of the Holy Grail and Life of Brian. Comedic masterpieces that never seem to get tired. "I have a fwiend in Wome, you know..."
Contact. Yeah, I know. A lot of people did not like it. I loved it. I got why the alien had to be dad. And anything penned by Carl Sagan is gold for me.
2001/2010. These are two very different movies, but there are very much the same to me. A well-done continuous story.
The Godfather I, II and III. Again, a continuous story for me. The third would have been so much better without Sofia Coppola (a better director than actress. If only Winona Ryder had not gotten ill) and Andy Garcia.
There are others. Buster Keaton's The General, Seven Samurai, Six String Samurai, Run Lola Run, City of Lost Children, Citizen Kane, The Wild Bunch, Goodfellas, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Alien, Aliens and many more I will probably remember later. But, those are the ones which stick out right now.
