ImDeranged Wrote:The Great Dictator - Chaplin always was great at physical but in this one his word play alone is worth it for repeated viewings. Bacteria & Tomania invade Osterlich
Dr Strangelove :Or..... again wordplay make this a repeat viewing classic. The names of the characters alone can make me laugh : Merkin Muffley, Col. 'Bat' Guano, Gen. 'Buck' Turgidson
Brazil : I see something new each time I see it... then again each time I see it seems to be a new edit or alternate version.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels : each time I see it it's like visiting an old friend. But then again you should meet my old friends.
The Godfather (all)- I even include 3. They are some of the ONLY films that get better w/ each viewing. After 10 + times of watching I still end up seeing something new in them each time I watch.
Jean de Florette / Manon of the Springs - French movies that blew my mind the first time I saw them. 5 viewings later they're still great.
The Hudsucker Proxy - The Coen Brothers movie that nobody ever talks about. Yet the one that I've seen the most- ok Big Lewboski is close and I include that in the list too. But HP has so many great moments. If anyone hasn't seen it run and get it. BTW if you watch it imagine Bruce Campbell as Clark Kent next to Jennifer Jason Leighs' Lois Lane. It's also a tribute to Frank Capra and Preston Sturges films.
They Live- I'd call it a guilty pleasure if it wasn't so cool.
This is Spinal Tap- One of the few movies I can jump in at any scene and watch from that point. Almost every other movie even if I've seen it a dozen times I'll want to watch from the beginning.
Sid & Nancy - Not accurate but a great movie.
Natural Born Killers - Every actor in this movie gives a career highlighting performance.
There are dozens more but that's a good stopping point (for now at least)
"They Live" - wow! I thought I was one of the only ones who would watch this movie a second+ time. For some reason, it just clicked with me too. I need to netflix it as I haven't seen it in a long time.
Movies I watch over-and-over:
* Lord of the Rings trilogy
* Lonesome Dove
* Serenity (& Firefly series, but not really a "movie")
* Casino Royale (new)
* Pirates of the Carrabean (1st only)
* Men in Black I & II
* Princess Bride
* Star Wars (New Hope, Empire, Jedi)
* Fish Called Wanda
* Batman Returns
* Bowfinger
probably others, too.
