NFT: Movies You Never Get Tired Watching

No joke, Weekend at Bernie's Two. Pound for pound the best movie ever made.

Comedies:

Old School

What about Bob?

Wedding Crashers

40 year old virgin

Just ones that come to mind: Godfather I & II, Shawshank, The Fugitive, Jurassic Park, Air Force One, The Big Chill, Four Weddings & a Funeral, A Few Good Men, My Cousin Vinny, Catch Me if You Can, Sideways, Big, Eight Men Out, Friday Night Lights, Rocky IV ('THE RUSSIAN'S CUT!), Hoosiers, The Departed, Good Will Hunting, Independence Day, Stripes, The American President, Caddyshack, Cocktail, Stand By Me, The Perfect Storm, Trading Places, It's a Wonderful Life, Casablanca, To Kill a Mockingbird, Dumb & Dumber, There's Something About Mary...

I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton too.

Volume 6 this year….

My top two would probably be Tommy Boy and Miracle. Ghostbusters is up there too.

Gladiator

Chances Are

Escape from Alcatraz

I will watch 'Silverado' every time it's on TV. The first hour is fast-paced storytelling at it's best. John Cleese is perfect as the Town's Sheriff. Kline, Costner, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover make up a great ensemble cast.

Speaking of Director Lawrence Kasden....The Big Chill never gets old for me. Filmed right down here in Beaufort SC.

John Ford/Duke Wayne westerns are well done too. I just wish he could have filmed some of the early ones in Technicolor.

There are other movies I can watch multiple times, but those two come to mind right away.

Raiders of The Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, Star Wars, Zulu, The Game, Falling Down, The Fugitive, The 300 Spartans, The Vikings, West World, Jaws, The Longest Day, Where Wagles Dare, The Wild Geese, The Untouchables, Predator, The Running Man, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Happy Gilmore

Goodfellas, Mrs. Doubtfire, Scarface, Jurassic Park, The Devil Wears Prada, Wall Street, The Fugitive, Air Force One, The Rock...

What's a Wagle? Is it anything like a Henweigh?

Speaking strictly for myself, Mad Mad Mad World is too long at 3 hours. I would cut out every scene with Ethel Merman in it and not miss a single laugh.

Also too long is Michael Cimino's Heavens Gate at 3 1/2 hours. I would shoot that long preamble at Harvard using old still photos narrated by Krisofferson or Walken. That would bring the movie in at 2:20 and about $50 million under budget.

I don't mind long movies -- Coppola's Apocalypse Redux is a favorite of mine. And the Godfather Saga tells the tale chronologically.....a better story.

The Enemy Below, Operation Petticoat,In Harms Way, They Were Expendable, The Bedford Incident, Caddy Shack

'Tell him it's a think piece about a mid level band struggling with their own limitations in in the harsh fade of stardom (laugh). He'll wet himself.'

Forrest Gump and Napoleon Dynamite.

Wizard of Oz

Sink the Bismarck

The Longest Day

Outlaw Josey Wales

Casablanca

but a more recent movie that I have watched a bunch of times, not an overly serious one but a feel-good one - Chef with Jon Favreau. Great cast, simple but well done. There's also a few Christmas ones that I have to watch every year and I never get tired from, but I think that's true of a lot of people.

The 400 Blows
The Longest Day
The Spy Who Came In From the Cold
The Man Who Would Be King
Foreign Correspondent
A Christmas Carol (Alstair Sim)
Marathon Man
The French Connection

Dave
Devil Wears Prada

I hated Gump when first seeing it and still think it shouldn’t have won Best Picture over Shawshank, Quiz Show, & Four Weddings & a Funeral. I was never a fan of Pulp Fiction.

That said, Gump has grown on me over the years.

Forrest Gump and Napoleon Dynamite.

Apollo 13 was better

El Dorado

Interchangeable, both great

ET
Saving Private Ryan
Goodfellows
Jaws
Them fifties sci-fi about giant ants
Invasion of the Body Snatchers-the original

one of the most intense, bad ass movies ever.

The Godfather, and There's Something about Mary;-)

If you are into the whole rewatchable movie idea, I would recommend the Rewatchables podcast on the Ringer Network, with Bill Simmons.
The Rewatchables - ( New Window )

I find Stone’s political films to be weirdly rewatchable, ‘JFK’, ‘Nixon’, & ‘W’.

I think ‘JFK’ is weirdly entertaining, though it is absurd AF.

Star Wars (I will continue to call the original Star Wars because that is what it was called when it came out and how I have always known it)
Rocky - Rocky IV
Major League

Edge of Tomorrow
Devil Wears Prada
Gangs of New York
The Quick and the Dead

" Wait a minute wait a minute one jerk at a time"

Goodfellas
Vanilla Sky
Chasing Amy
The Departed
Rocky 1-4
The Wrestler
Tommy Boy
Dumb and Dumber

What's a Henweigh? (you have been very patient waiting for this)
A lot of good one's here:
Once upon a time in New York (long version).

They Died with Their Boots On
Robin Hood
Captain Blood

My personal all time faves are:
The Horse Soldiers
Kelly’s Heroes
Jason Bourne

Commando , simple over the top entertainment.

The Harder they Fall ( 1956 ), Bogey's last and one of his best.

JFK, especially Kevin Bacon's rant.

The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)

Lawrence of Arabia (1962) My all timer.

Doctor Zhivago (1965)
