Probably Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. We had it on VHS and didn't have cable and it's a fun movie. Or Leolo, the movie that made me fall in love with Tom Waits.
Oooooh I'm so obsessed in "Casablanca Memory" and it happened to me IRL with my last crush at the alumni event. I'm so triggered and huuuuuurrrrtt. Boohoo.
Half Baked. There was a period in the 90's that it was basically on a constant loop. That was shortly after I had smoking and my little squad and I just sat in my apartment smoking and laughing as the movie played on the tv. I do miss the days when I didn't have a tolerance.
Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. Best comedic duo EVER! I could watch that (or any one of the movies they did together, over and over and over and over...).
Tons from the 60's 70's - The French Connection - The Seven Ups - Taxi Driver - The Conversation - Butterfield 8 - The Mating Game - Pillow Talk - 2001 - Apocalypse - Lawrence of Arabia - Sorcerer (friedkin) Dog Day Afternoon
From the 80's Nighthwaks - King of Comedy - Blade Runner - Prince of the City - and oddly enough - Neighbors (belushi)
Not counting the Lion King (which my then toddler demanded to watch at least once a day for nearly two years) I think it's a tossup between Princess Bride, Godfather I & II, and Independence Day.
@ Spider - Nighthawks is so underrated don't you think? I was only 3 when it came out, but I first saw it at around age 11 or 12 and thought it was great. It's on regular rotation now when nothing is on.
Grease Saturday Night Fever Star Wars Casablanca La la Land The Hunger Games Goodfellas Godfather 1 and 2 The Notebook Sixteen Candles The Breakfast Club Fried Green Tomatoes Waking The Dead Garden State (This list is endless...)
Truthfully, Home Alone because I once was a kid and have a kid now.... Devil Wears Prada, Stepmom, Legally Blonde, You've Got Mail, 21 also always suck me in so I've watched them many times too.
2. Splash w/Daryl Hannah, John Candy, Tom Hanks, Eugene Levy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-bw_1n5tJA
3. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun w/Sarah Jessica Parker & Helen Hunt
I still get stressed out about SJP making it to the TV Station in time for the dance competition. And I used to think Helen Hunt was such a cool f+cking girl I wanted to be. Her fashion was AMAZING.
I'm a cheeseball, but I still love this song from Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
Dangerous Liaisons,Goodfellas,Scarface, the Blue Lagoon,Cinema Paradisio, Say Anything, and Love Anyway,Damage.... Forest Gump:) I know -eclectic and bizarre
Only because FX reruns, when I still could watch television:
1. "Kiss of the Damned" (countless, basically every time it was I turned the TV on—especially when it's raining outside) 2. "W.E." (multiple times) 3. "Margin Call" (11–12 times)
I have streamed All About Eve to fall asleep to probably literally hundreds of times (I love listening to Addison DeWitt's opening narration, it's now almost like an automatic trigger for my body to fall asleep to before he finishes). I'm kind of afraid Amazon might pull a Netflix and ask on Twitter why someone would stream the video of classic female backstabbing 749 times or whatever.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show. But I watch A Christmas Story at least once every year now and I'm not QUITE as obsessed with Tim Curry as I used to be, so Ralphie and friends are slowly catching up.
I don't remember which I have watched the most but when I jog my brain these are the ones that come to mind that have watched the most
Dawn of the Dead 78 Alien Phantasm Animal House Caddyshack Neighbors (the 81 version, not the shitty one from a few years back). Stripes Goodfellas The Deer Hunter Casino The Godfather 1&2 Scarface Heat
PITCH PERFECT, first one, because my daughter wanted to watch it over and over and over. FINDING NEMO, because when my daughter was younger she wanted to watch it over and over.
The movies I've watched over and over by myself? ALL ABOUT EVE, CASABLANCA, and CHINATOWN.
@Space Nighthawks HUGELY underrated - I believe they had it in for Sly who they considered a goofball after Rocky and Rocky 2. Rutger Hauer alone in Nighthawks should have garnished fantastic reviews. With world events now, we see Nighthawks was way ahead of it's time.
Back in the LATE 80S... BARFLY, DRUGSTORE COWBOY and REPO MAN...it was the only 3 movies wed watch, all my friends...we knew all the lines and would spit them out whenever an occasion arose that called for it...still to this day when we get together.
I was fired from another job, friends :(
ReplyDeleteI took a position as assistant chef at the Atlanta IHOP. But I got canned last night when I tried to sneak out with a piece of kitchen equipment.
It was a whisk I was willing to take.
A Christmas Story
ReplyDeleteIt's a toss up between Groundhog Day and Jackie Brown. My two absolute favorite films
ReplyDeleteThe third man and random harvest. Tied.
ReplyDeleteProbably Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. We had it on VHS and didn't have cable and it's a fun movie. Or Leolo, the movie that made me fall in love with Tom Waits.
