NFT: Favorite Rewatchable Movies

Ghostbusters

Groundhog Day

Lord of the Rings (one of those, whenever its on, I watch it sort of things)

All the Rocky movies

Karate Kid

Vanilla Sky

The Matrix

Inception

The Princess Bride

The Notebook (shut up!)

because most of my favorite movies I can't really view more than once or twice, and the ones I watch often usually suck in the grand scheme of things.

Here's a few, some suck, some are great:

Fury Road
The 5th Element
Shawshank Redemption
John Wick
The Rock
Bloodsport

.

Killer Clowns From Outer Space

The Warriors

Isn't that funny? Some bad movies are like those really bad songs that you don't really like and yet you sing them every time you hear them.

You can't handle the truth!!!!!

Clockwork Orange

American Beauty

Fargo (personal fave)

Full Metal Jacket

Dirty Harry

The Godfather

Goodfellas

The Big Lebowski

Let It Ride

Die Hard

Jaws

still holds up to time.

i started flipping channels and watched the last 40 minutes of Pulp Fiction followed by last 30 minutes of Risky Business. Two almost opposite movies - both fit this category

And the soundtrack is just plain awesome.

Another mid-80s one I love is Down and Out in Beverly Hills.

Falling Down!

Because who hasn't felt like Bill Foster at one time or another. Especially when all you want is a ham and cheese whamlet and some whammy fries but they stopped serving breakfast.

One Crazy Summer
Better Off Dead
A Christmas Story
What About Bob
Caddyshack
A Bronx Tale
Bad Santa
Slapshot
Youngblood
Remember the Titans

and many more than have been named and ones I haven't named.

"The customer is always right"?

Yeah, well, that's not our policy.

Hunt for Red October
Usual Suspects

The Searchers. A day at the races, Hombre.

The Terminator 1, 2
The Lord of the Rings 1, 2, 3
Bourne 1, 2, 3
Casablanca
Tombstone
The Sting
Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid

You have any idea how much money my country has given your country?

-No, how much?

Well....I don't know, but it must be quite a lot.


I remember when Falling Down came out, a lot of people took it seriously, which always amused it. It's clearly a black comedy.

listed here. But among non-classics/forgotten movies, I just love Jeepers Creepers. Just a really good scary movie with an awesome bad-guy. I always enjoy watching it. Even the sequel is a good rewatch due to the scarecrow scene, although the HS kids get annoying. Pretty sure they're making a part 3.

Burt Lancaster or Matt Damon?

Mine would look very similar... throw Jaws in there, too.

having my kids watch the classic 80's movies. Mainly because of The Goldberg's, but we've shown them Bill and Ted's, Ferris Bueller, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Die Hard, and a few others.

We just watched Dodgeball as a family, now my son can't stop quoting Patches O'Houlihan!

Good call -- I especially liked that the closing scene is the poster for the movie, and it only makes sense until you've seen the film.

Almost Famous
Miller's Crossing
Godfather 1,2
Moonstruck...mostly for the last scene
Man Of La Mancha
Casablanca
Run Silent, Run Deep
The Bogie/Philip Marlowe movies
Singin' in the Rain
To Have and Have Not
Old Man and the Sea
Philadelphia Story

I watched the original Magnificent Seven the other night. Every frame is perfect, the Bernstein Score is excellent and the dialog is right on.....
James Coburn "Nobody throws me my guns and says Run. Nobody."

Also, any of the Bourne Trilogy
Any of the Danny Oceans trilogy
any of the Sean Connery Bond movies
any of the Tennessee Williams movies
anything with Paul Newman in it.

I also watch some movies just for the Special Effects --
Gravity
The Martian
The early Star Wars movie, before the CGI took over.

One movie I'll always watch is "Sneakers" an early 90's spy flick with Redford, Poitier, Ackroyd, et al. Just a reminder of a simpler time, when our enemies were easy to identify.

The fugitive
Shawshank
Dazed and confused is a good choice, saw that above
Beverly Hills cop 1 and 2
Jack Reacher
Jon wick is good one
Pulp fiction

So many Marky Mark movies: The Departed, Boogie Nights, The Fighter. Same neighborhood, different actors: Goodwill Hunting. Watched Predator the other night, so ridiculous and so good.

a second time, but I'll watch any Marx Brothers movie that is on even if I've seen it a few times.
