5th Element.
One of, if not the best action flick of all time.
Multipass
Super green!
Leeloo Dallas Multipass!
FYI, in theaters in November for a couple days. Maybe it’s at a theater near you! I bought my tickets a month ago lol. Love the movie.
I love this movie! So much fun.
I submit both Crank and Crank 2 as the best, most self-aware action movies of all time.
Shoot em up should be on that list imo
The Princess Bride, obviously.
When I was a kid, I watched this and Labyrinth so much. I'm pretty sure I have both on dvd if not bluray. I feel like I need to pull them out.
Die Hard and Galaxy Quest.
The pacing of these movies is great. There's really no part of either I'd fast forward.
You have a name, Guy...
Do I!?!
Maybe you're the picky comic relief guy?
By Grabthor’s hammer, I have to agree.
Die Hard is the best Christmas movie. My son demands we watch it every year.
Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski, LOTR, Akira, Blazing Saddles, The Matrix, Shaun of the Dead, Friday, and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I'm going to guess you're about 40.
Because that sounds a lot like my list.
Hahaha, you got me. I'll be 39 in a few months.
Idiocracy. Cracks me up every time I rewatch it.
Welcome to Costco, i love you.
Yes, yes, yes. I don't get to watch it often these days, but it's always so much fun. Now go away, I'm baitin'.
Hot fuzz
By the power of Grayskull...
Rat Race, The Big Lebowski, The Blues Brothers, Mars Attacks, Constantine, any Riddick, any Resident Evil, any Alien, any Matrix, any Predator, Equilibrium, Gattaca, District 9, and a lot of others I can't remember at the moment because I'm quite drunk.
Upvoted for The Blues Brothers! “We’re on a mission from God.”
Best movie soundtrack ever.
Even Matrix 4?
Serenity
As well as the whole firefly series. Watches them all annually.
Oh, if we're doing more than just the movie...
...the one TV season, sure, and the Dark Horse & BOOM! Comics, 8 novels, and a bit over half a dozen Board Games; including The Original, Adventures, 'Misbehavin, Fluxx and a few others as well.
I have no difficulty admitting to be a little bit of a fan here.
"Alien" (1979) still gets me every time I watch it. The slow build, the pops of horror, the delectable suspense of the Big Chap hunting. I know every scare, every moment of terror, every death by heart... but it still gets my circulatory system going. All other home invasion/haunted house movies can go home, Alien nailed it.
The classics. Back to the Future trilogy, Ghostbusters, Kung Pow, Terminator 2, there's so many!
Kung Pow
I'm just a birdie too.
THAT'S A LOT OF NUTS!
I'm falling! You're falling! We're falling!
...WHALE
Any Lord of the Rings.
Fifth Element
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
LOTR: The Two Towers
Primer
Antitrust
Hackers
Star Trek: TMP
Scarface
Hot Tub Time Machine
Primer messed my brain up for years. I love it!
I just watched Hot Tub Time Machine for the first time the other day. The ending is incredibly messed up. They come back and stuff is different but they don't have memory of the last 20 years? They just overwrote the new timeline versions of themselves. And Rob Corddry isn't even sad about it, he's basically like screw those guys that I've built my life around I got my messed up friends back.
The rest of the movie is pretty good though.
- Naked Gun
- Airplane!
- Men in Tights
- Down Periscope
- La Soupe aux choux (Cabbage Soup from Louis de Funes)
- Oscar
Yeah, the last one is oddly popular in my country. No clue why. Must be something in the water.
Naked gun and airplane are GOATS
Down Periscope for sure!
Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)
The Italian Job (2003)
Sneakers (1992)Sneakers is one where a remake might actually be welcomed. I adore the original but spycraft has changed so much. It’s a fascinating genre too. Probably my favorite.
Red teaming is probably less interesting cinematically now.
I’ll watch anything in this genre though so don’t let my skepticism slow anyone down from trying
Sneakers
How have I not watched this for years? I used to have it on VHS and watched it so many times. Mainly because I was in love with River Phoenix and heartbroken when he died.
I need to find somewhere to stream it.
Two of those have been remade, are we talking only the originals?
Heck no!
(Updated post for clarity)
Thor Ragnarok. Its a perfect mix of comedy and fun
See you later new Doug
Oceans 11, I can watch that when I'm happy, sad, sick, or just on in the background. The perfect heist movie
LoTR, hunt for red October, most Bond films. The Mummy.
The Big Lebowski, Donnie Brasco, Thirteen Days
Alllll right way to go Donny
Groundhog Day
Lately, Megamind and Scott Pilgrim vs the World.
Also, Terminator 2, and lots of others that I can't think of right now.
Spaceballs
Clue

Grandma's Boy
Zootopia
Sing/Sing 2
Grandma’s Boy
I haven't seen that movie in ages, but I have watched it many times. The scene that really gets me is when they clean under the sofa and there are numerous cat carcasses.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, watching it every year on christmas,... Still laughing my ass off.
Spaceballs
Fuck, even in the future nothing works
The Prestige. There are so many layers to that movie. I've watched it 4 or 5 times, and each time I notice new details.
I think on the third rewatch I noticed that the first line of the diary had a different meaning:
!"We were two young men at the start of a great career. Two young men devoted to an illusion. Two young men who never intended to hurt anyone."
Amadeus
The matrix. The princess bride. Charlie and the chocolate factory.
Caddyshack. I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned.
Thank you very little
I've seen The Prince of Egypt about a dozen times, and I love it each time.
The Birdcage. Every time it ends, I want to restart it.
Groundhog Day
And Edge of Tomorrow!
This is a must watch every day.
Unforgiven. No Country for Old Men. Shawshank Redemption
Porch Rosso and some other ghibli movies I guess.
I would have said ponyo or maybe spirited way.
Kingdom of Heaven
Contact
LOTR
Pulp Fiction
Super Troopers
The one where its just paint drying for 8 hours to fuck with the UK ratings board
Most Marvel movies
Your moms porno she did before you ruined her body
The Matrix
I watch V for Vendetta every November
I have watched SnowPiercer at least 6 times (and yes, I totally belive it is a sequel to Willy Wonka)
Snowpiercer is so, so very weird. Fantastic!
Agree with many others here. Also: Aliens, Terminator 2, True Lies, Bad Boys, The Naked Gun, Top Secret!, Hot Shots: Part Deux, Deadpool 1-3
Heck yeah! Hot shots is so good

Die Hard 1
Back to the Future, any
Jurassic Park 1

Surely I'm forgetting a few but these come to mind now
Buckaroo Banzai
Oh man, I watched this a couple weeks ago. It had probably been decades since I last saw it. It was just as awesome/terrible as I remembered.
ITT: Cults and their followers.
Rewatched Mr and Mrs Smith last night it holds up
I've never seen that one, but I liked the series with Donald Glover.
The 1993 Super Mario Bros.
As campy and crappy as it is, it never fails to put a smile on my face and make me laugh, that movie rules.
Dodgeball, Space Jam, anything with Adam Sandler, SuperBad, anything with Jim Carrey,
The Coronetto Trilogy from Edgar Wright
-Shaun of the Dead
-Hot Fuzz
-The Worlds End
Dirty rotten scoundrels

The Mummy, The Princess Bride, The Devil Wears Prada and Jurassic Park never get old for me.

Kung Fu Hustle tops kung Pow for me
You're right.
Gattaca. It's just such a well made film.
<3. The letters in the title could be a DNA sequence. We might watch this tonight, for date night!
The Hunt, The Way, Smokey and the Bandit, Clerks, Clerks 2, The Judge, Encanto, Spirited Away, Days of Thunder, Edge of Tomorrow, Nobody, Predator, Real Genius.
Everyone has about the same answers here, and I agree with many, but I've got a weird one:
Super Size Me
Something about it just compels me. And it always makes me want McDonald's afterwards... I truly struggle to explain why.
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
Trivia: the guy was an recovering alcoholic and started to drink again - this is actually what can be seen throughout the documentary
I heard that he was an alcoholic during the experiment, hence why the doctors were baffled by the state of his liver after one month.
But that adds more to the mystery of why I like it - I never believed the food would do that to you in the first place

Strictly Ballroom, Baz' first film
Real steel
2001: A Space Odyssey
Aliens, Constantine, Gone in 60 Seconds, Wall-E, How to Train a Dragon, Hamilton, LotR, Kung Pow, Twister, Jurassic Park, Infinity War/End Game, Greatest Showman

The original salem's lot
I rewatched Young Guns recently, and besides the fantastic nostalgia rush, I realized that I had only ever seen the edited for TV version
Children of Men, The Boondock Saints, I Origins.
Used to be The Matrix as well, but I'm kind of over it now.
Children of Men is so good. I love this thread because I'm seeing mentions of so many great movies that I used to watch all the time but I realize it's been ages since I've last seen them.
The Magic Sword (1962)
Reefer Madness (Musical), Prince of Egypt, Hunchback of Norte Dame, Marie Antoinette, Kiki's Delivery Service.
The big lebowski almost requires rewatching. It just gets funnier and funnier every time, there are so many little details and quotable lines. "Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man."
Thematically, you can watch the film through different lenses. I remember reading an article about the religious undertones - the dude as Buddha, Walter as Yahweh etc. Makes Jesus as a weird little pervert even funnier.
Surprised no one mentioned Memento.
I'd say that you HAVE to re-watch it to understand wtf is going on.
I have hyperfixation issues so just about any movie I like.
Pulp Fiction. Whenever I caught it on cable, I would always end up watching it to the end.
Its really dumb, but Down Periscope.
Red Line
for quite a long time following the matrix i rewatched that shit so many times on so many different media that i could pretty much recite the entire movie. it's been quite a while now, so if i ever watched it again i would enjoy it just as much, but my ability to karaoke along would probably be down to 40-50% of the spoken lines.
the fight club is fun to rewatch couple times because you keep seeing new layers of foreshadowing.
up is always a joy, and a guarantee for me to cry twice. i was gonna say tear up but that shit hits me hard i can barely contain myself.
Groundhog Day, once a year.
I think I whistle the Pennsylvania Polka at least 5 times a week.
Taking of Pelham 123 is one of the most watchable movies I've seen. The original.
Man of steel Batman V Superman UE Zack Snyder's Justice League The Dark Knight Trilogy Inception Interstellar Pulp Fiction Django Unchained
