Movies you could watch again and again

[AwakeAtLast]

There are movies that I could watch over and over again. If I find them on a lazy Saturday or Sunday, I'm hooked. Here is a list of my most recent obsessions:

Cold Mountain
Master and Commander
Coco Before Chanel
Amelie
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Fargo
An Education
My Fair Lady
Mary Poppins
Braveheart
The Pianist
The King's Speech
The Color Purple
The Young Victoria
Atonement

I would list The Shawshank Redemption, but I think I have worn myself out on that one. Replace it with pretty much any other Coen Brothers movie.

There is no rhyme or reason to the list, just what I find myself watching, and watching, and watching.

1. Surprisingly, not many

Labyrinth
Tank Girl (I'm sure this one has a limit, you can only see Ice T as a kangaroo so often)
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Interstella 5555 (it totally counts!)
Ginger Snaps and Ginger Snaps 2; Unleashed (Ginger Snaps Back can die in a fire, though)
Big Trouble in Little China
The Good, The Bad, and the Weird
Willow (there's just something about an uncomplicated, fun fantasy movie)
Snatch
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

[AwakeAtLast]

2. Oh, Bill and Ted!

Does that take me back!

Good list!

3. Excalibur, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (double feature)

The Princess Bride
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
The Blues Brothers
RoboCop (original)
Ghostbusters

7. I can dig your double feature!

I love both those movies, and have watched both many times - although never in the same sitting as a "double feature". But it's an interesting thought...

[scarletwoman]

4. Here's my list:

(off the top of my head, in no particular order)
Apocalypse Now
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Excalibur
Zardoz
The Secret of Roan Inish
JFK
Romeo and Juliet (Franco Zefirelli)
Bram Stoker's Dracula (Francis Ford Coppola)
The Big Lebowski
Rob Roy
The Princess Bride
Waking Ned Devine
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
Brother From Another Planet
The Egyptian

[AwakeAtLast]

5. I need to put some of those in my queue

I've read lots of good things about The Secret of Roan Inish

[scarletwoman]

6. It's a wonderful story and visually gorgeous!

"The Secret of Roan Inish" is definitely one of my all time favorite movies. All I can say is, DO see it!

[Ino]

9. Have you seen "House of Flying Daggers"?

Good story, and the most visually stunning, beautiful movie ever made, IMO!

[Midnight Writer]

11. Yes, I have watched it repeatedly

Visually striking. Worth it just for the scene settings (The Peony Pavillion, The Field of Flowers, The Bamboo Forest, The Woods, even The Dungeon), not to mention Zhang Zi-Yi. Also beautiful music and costumes.

[Cartoonist]

8. There's only two

I lkie lots of movies, including many of those listed, but there are only two that I have watched many many times.
A Hard Day's Night
The Benny Goodman Story

I only like the musical numbers from the other Beatles movies.
I also like, but could only see about fifty times, is The Dorsey Brothers.
I've only seen it once, but I could probably see it multiple times, The Gene Krupa Story.
Before you ask, once was enough for The Glen Miller Story.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. OMG...have you seen Across the Universe? It is

a wonderful take on the Beatles music -- completely new and fresh renditions
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445922/

It is super

[Cartoonist]

19. I liked it

I thought the best one was the rendition of I Want To Hold Your Hand

Another movie is I Am Sam. I haven't seen it, but I like the soundtrack.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Yes..."I Want to Hold your Hand" was great. I loved "Because"

Have you seen/heard Once ?? Great, to me, anyway.

14. Ahh, Fast Times

Great movie full of then unknown actors who became huge stars! I don't know of another movie that did that.

[unionthug777]

15. mr. hand

I...don't...know......

mr. hand

[AwakeAtLast]

16. He was probably the actor in that movie with the most experience at that time

He was hilarious!

[mainstreetonce]

13. Moulin Rouge

One of the only movies I have watched over and over.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Very interesting - can't imagine watching O Brother, Where Art Thou

or The Pianist or The King's Speech more than once. That would be akin to torture. To each his own. :&gt

Yes to Braveheart and Fargo.

My guilty favorites to watch over and over....girly picks...."Mystic Pizza,
Sound of Music, Goodbye Girl, Sleeping with the Enemy, and Urban Cowboy"

You can diss all them if you want to. :&gt
