Ok, we all have our favourite movies of all time, but was just wondering if members had a certain few films that they can repeatedly watch, time and again, no matter how favoured they are by critics or not.

What are the films that you enjoy watching again from time to time? The ones that feel like a pair of old shoes or slacks, that always make you feel warm and content.....

I'm just after reading yours and it reminded me of a film I love just because of how sweet and gentle it is - The Secret Garden. Lovely little film.

I'm generally not a big fan of rewatching movies, but when I saw Breathless recently for what must have been the 20th time, I would have to choose that.

Amadeus is very rewatchable too, as is the Last Emperor.

I'm sure there are plenty of movies I've seen that deserve to be viewed again. It always helps when they are lengthy and there is a lot of content you might not have picked up on before.

Strangely I've rewatched A Nightmare on Elm Street compulsively for years, but I never got the same scares as the first time which is a shame.

I always enjoy watching crappy thrillers again for some reason, as well as Star Trek movies.

And then Jaws is endlessly rewatchable.

Actually, not just crappy thrillers - Hitchcock's stuff is just timeless.

Mean Girls - I've seen it about 50 times.

I often rewatch the Tarantinos. The History Boys too - there's always a hidden joke I didn't notice the first, second, third, fourth, fifth...time.

setanta

oh yeah Shauny, great comedies are always worth watching again. Have no idea how many times I've seen films like Tootsie or Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

It's a very low budget affair Claudia. Sure he couldn't complete it, and the latter stages of the released film are very rough. But yeah, if you're a fan of the books and the films then you should really watch it. Very trippy stuff too. Used to smoke a bit of the wacky stuff while watching it. Interesting film.

setanta

11-08-2010, 01:07 AM

I have that on on DVD, and a picture book of it.
Love it much more then the Lord of Rings trilogy

I actually agree. Far more faithful to Tolkiens novel and it's a pity that they ran out of money and the backing of the financers. Sure Peter Jackson stole quite a few of the shots! It's quite obvious, right?

It feels more like the novel too, you know what I mean?

I wished for years they would complete that movie. I read the tolkien books in the early 80s, and for me the figures of the animated movie fit perfect to what I had in mind while reading it, the blockbuster movies really disappointed me, even if they where really well done.

And I bet he stole some of that movie, it was quite unknown anyway, so I guess he thought nobody will notice anyway.

I even still have the Soundtrack of that Movie on vinyl

Oh, he definitely stole scenes - it's quite clear. And yes, the mood created in the cartoon is exactly the same as I felt while reading the novel. The movies are blockbusters, nothing more. They don't have the heart or the atmosphere, even though I still quite like them.

Don't like the Departed, and American Psycho is a once only view, but apart from those two the others are well worth watching again.

No I genuinely think it's brilliant, one of my favourite movies ever. One of the best portrayals of teen life I've ever seen on film and written with such wit. There's so much little subtle jokes slipped in that you discover a new one each time, hence the rewatching LOL.

There's just something about those 70's animations. Have you seen Raggedy Ann & Andy?

Very iffy movie (the musical numbers are awful) but it is ridiculously psychedelic (and sometimes disturbing) for a kids' movie.

I haven't seen that one actually, although I do know the characters. Yeah, 70's animation was very weird altogether, and you still got some of it during the early 80's too.

Now & Then
Hocus Pocus
Mean Girls
Borat
Van Wilder: Part Liason
Meet The Fockers
Mrs. Doubtfire
The Sandlot
Save The Last Dance
Ride

Now & Then is my absolute favourite film ever, sure it's a bit on the chick-flick side but it's a great, heart warming movie.

If anybody hasn't seen it, basically it's about 4 women who had grown apart over time who meet up back in the place they grew up (two of the girls stayed in the same placeand one being heavily pregnant which is the reason for the reunion) and think back to one particular Summer of their childhood which is played out in the film.

Great cast including Rosie O'Donnell, Demi Moore, Rita Wilson, Melanie Griffith, Cloris Leachman and young Christina Ricci and Thora Birch.
It's just lovely.
