Movies You Could Watch Over and Over...

[Amnesiac]

Everybody's got a set of movies they can watch over and over again and never get bored of, even if they live to be 80 years old, senile and have been watching the movie for 70 of those years. So this thread is dedicated to those little flicks that bring eternal joy to our lives!

Here are mine (note: this could get long, so I'll set the bar at 10 titles)

PCU
The THING (1982)
JAWS
PULP FICTION
THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS
SPACEBALLS
GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS
TREMORS
CADDYSHACK
THE STONED AGE

Honerable mention: ROUNDERS

What are yours?

Fist of Legend

28 Days Later

At First Sight

Tommy Boy

[Flatfoot]

I've got a pretty big list, but the only one that pops into my head right now is Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. That's gotta be my all-time favorite nonsensical comedy. I'll think of some better movies when it's not 1 in the morning. I've gotta get to bed.

Phantasm


The Tall Man kicks some Major A**

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Since there are too many to think about, I'll just agree with some of the movies already posted.

Tremors (all of them), but I like the first one best. Its just funny, outdoorsy, boondocks, middle of nowhere desert story about mutated, underground killer worms that eat people and livestock. The
movie is slow-paced, laid paid, but somehow memorable, after all these years. And the characters were unique and interesting.

*first scene of movie*

" What, no breakfast?"- Earl

" I did breakfast yesterday. Remember? It was bologna and beans."- Val

"Nah, it was eggs, over-easy. I did eggs."- Earl

"The hell you did! It was bologna and beans, its your turn!"- Val

*they play rock, paper scissors to decide who makes breakfast. Val losses*

"Hell.....when I get to be your age, I'll forget what I eat too!"- Val

Its simple yet somehow funny scenes like this that stick to memory.

Must... not...quote... entire... Spaceballs... script

Darn, a lot of mine (Spaceballs and Tremors chief amongst them) have been mentioned already but...

Monty Python and The Holy Grail (Two words: Killer Rabbit)
Toy Story 2 (Best animated film ever)
Lion King (Second best animated film ever)
American Beauty (Yes, I know Steph said it already, but it's too good to leave out)
Dogma (First Kevin Smith film I ever saw and still, to my mind, the funniest AND with a message to boot)
Die Hard (Two Words: Alan Rickman)
Bram Stoker's Dracula (Gary Oldman AND Anthony Hopkins in the same film! If ONLY Keanu Reeves character had a thirty minute long death scene complete with writhing in mortal agongy, and preferably staring about ten seconds after the opening credits, it would have been perfect.)
Snatch (Funny, funny stuff and the big break through role for Jason Statham who NEEDS to be given some leading-man action films ASAP.)
The Crow (Ignoring the pain that was the shameless cash-in sequels, the orignial is just spot on with image, mood and the only non-comedy I know where basically the entire script is quotable)
