Movies We Enjoy Watching Over And Over Again - RichE - 03-25-2008
Being the old film buff that I am I always enjoy watching a repeat screening of my favorite films. Here is two to start:
"SHOES OF THE FISHERMAN" starring Anthony Quinn, Sir Laurence Olivier,
Oskar Werner and David Janseen.
Wonderful drama as Quinn playing the 1st Russian Pope. Inspired!
"12 O'CLOCK HIGH" starring Gregory Peck, Dean Jagger and Gary Merril
My wife and I have lost count on how many times we sit down and end up watching this great drama. Always great viewing!

Oh MAN! Too many to name.
One of my favorite old-time comedies is FATHER GOOSE, starring Carey Grant and Leslie Caron.
There are so many great lines in that movie:
Frank: Walter? Are you there, Walter? I have the chaplain, I thought it might be a comfort if he said a few words.
Walter: Never mind the chaplain, Frank. She's alive! The snake's dead!
Stebbings: Mother Goose is requesting a chaplain.
Frank: A chaplain? Good heavens, he's killed her.
Stebbings: No, sir. They want to get married.
Frank: Married?! Goody Two-Shoes and the Filthy Beast?

*Comedy*
A Fish Called Wanda:I don't remember how many times repeatedly I saw it. I like comedy movies, and I LOVE this movie. Because I like weirdo characters.
*Horror*
The Exorcist and The Omen: Both movies are all time favorite horror movies in my life. Of course, I'm NOT talking about sequels and remakes...you know that.
*Drama*
It's A Wonderful Life:In every Christmas time, I'm watching this.
*SF*
Star Wars IV A New Hope:No need to explain. It's "STAR WARS"! You know it, isn't it?
*Action/Adventure*
Raiders of the Lost Ark:I saw it in a theatre many times, with family, with friends, with a girl friend. And I saw it on rental video, and I bought Laser disc, and now I have DVD.
*Western*
The Magnificent Seven:As I said before in another thread, this is special movie to me. Even now I remember some dialogues.

"KHARTOUM" Charlton Heston And Laurence Olivier. More timely now in view in what is happening in the Mid East. Excellent motion picture!
"THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA" Spencer Tracy The only movie of his works Hemmingway liked.
"WRECK OF THE MARY DEARE" The only time Gary Cooper and Charlton Heston worked togeather in this first rate mystery. With Richard Harris, Michael Redgrave and Virginia McKenna.
"200 MOTELS" Frank Zappa's landmark rock film was the first time a movie was shot on video then transferred to film. With Flo and Eddie, Ringo Starr and Theodore Bikel.
"ZULU" Stanley Baker and Michael Caine in this great historical drama.
"SON OF DRACULA" Granted that Lon Chaney jr wasn't really good as Count ALUCARD but the script was superior taking on an almost Shakespearian pathos about love and obsession. Great supporting cast.

The Thing
Total Recall
Die Hard
I used to watch the last two every day as I washed the dishes in the kitchen. I hated washing dishes so much it would literally take me 2 hours. I developed this awful itching on my calves too that would clear up as soon as I'd rinsed off the last dish.
