just a great movie and it's never on. but I'd watch it every time it came on if it ever did.

the same thing with the Outsiders. I'd watch that too (though that one is occasionally on)

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

HA! That's awesome.

Necessary?! Is it necessary that I drink my own urine?
Probably not.
Well, I do it anyway because its sterile and I like the taste.

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.
I'm just trying to get home for my daughter's birthday...
Lebowski. I can never tire of that movie. Must've seen it 200 times

Road to Perdition is a great film  
Overseer : 10/13/2016 4:57 pm : link
Was awesome to see a legend like Paul Newman in such a good late in life role. I'm not sure I find it all that rewatchable though.

Films that would qualify have strong individual scenes, perhaps not necessarily as a key part of the overall arc, but present to underscore thematic import. Scorsese & Tarantino. Shawshank as mentioned. Many tremendous films have relative lulls in the narrative in order the develop the wider story. Not all that rewatchable.

My picks would be 12 Angry Men which I've seen dozens of times, Pulp Fiction (obviously), Back to the Future, more recently Edge of Tomorrow, and Jenna Jameson's early work before she developed that inner city "I'll lick your taint for a quarter" crackwhore look. You know what I'm talking about...

I never would have thought of 12 Angry Men if you hadn't posted it. I loved that film. I watched it in HS (30 years ago) after reading the play and can sit and watch it whenever I come across it since. Another film from that era (I think, without looking it up) that I was also exposed to in HS and equally loved was Inherit the Wind.
there iis only one that warrants rewatching

Very often, but it's rewatchable as fuck.
It's funny how there are so many listed here that ....  
Crispino : 10/13/2016 8:52 pm : link
I agree with, and so many I wouldn't rewatch at gunpoint. And some listed by the same posters.

Two that are listed very often that I just don't get are The Big Lebowski and Dazed and Confused. I know how much people love those movies, but I just don't care about either one. Not sure why, but I've seen both a couple of times and they just don't do it for me.
A personal favorite no one else will list  
Big Al : 10/13/2016 9:07 pm : link
Accidental Tourist. Love the mood of the movie, some of the weird characters such as the emotionally dead William Hurt and his family. For some reason, seem to have.an affinity for movies and shows in Baltimore. Saying that I would also put Avalon on my list.
j rud - have you seen the BBC tv series on  
Ira : 10/13/2016 9:13 pm : link

Eve's Bayou. How can you not like a movie that begins with the line:

"Memory is a selection of images, some elusive, others imprinted indelibly on the brain. The summer I killed my father I was 10 years old. "?

Just Friends is a good pick. I was cursing under my breathe a few years back when my wife wanted to watch it and I ended up liking it a lot.
