All of these movies my family sits down and watches at least once a year:
Harry Potter series… All of them.
LoTR/ Hobbit… All of them.
Paul
Strictly Ballroom
Princess Bride
Music Man 1962 version
Court Jester 1955 with Danny Kaye
I have seen Kung Pow: Enter the Fist over a hundred times easily
Chosen one!
IM COMING
Every time I drive by a Taco Bell I have to sing, “Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell.”
My kids think I’m insane.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail or The Fifth Element.
I have a few that will be very close as I decided a bit over a decade ago to limit myself to one rewatch a year of each to stop myself sucking all the joy out of them:
-
Alien - my favorite survival horror
-
Aliens - my favorite Nam movie
-
Jaws - my favorite version of Moby Dick, although I really like Godzilla Minus One take on Jaws
-
Jurassic Park - best big stompy monster film for me
-
Lord of the Rings - this is always over Christmas. Its not faithful enough for me to the books but it still manages to be an outstanding Trilogy.
-
Emperors New Groove - favorite body swap film
-
Kung Fury. It’s a short film, so maybe that’s cheating. Regardless, I love the writing. It’s the perfect blend of absurdity and over the top action. It’s a Swedish made film that’s a satire of 80’s cop and Kung fu movies. Free to watch on YouTube.
Sounds cool, I’ll have to watch this the next time we have seen absurd movie night.
I think Lotr movies.
Spirited away… Something about the first opening notes of the piano when that movie starts always moves me and fills me with such warm feelings.
Honestly most studio Ghibli movies I’ve watched a lot… But man… Spirited away does something to me.
Strangely enough Shawshank Redemption
TNT used to be a non-stop Shawshank Redemption loop.
Yep you nailed it. And flipping through the channels we could never seem to not stop on it, hence the reason we’ve probably watched the ending maybe 50-60 times usually starting at random places.
- Princess Bride
- Muppet Christmas Carol
- Lord of the Rings
- The Beauty and the Beast
- The Sword in the Stone
- Dumb and Dumber
- Young Frankenstein
- Nightmare Before Christmas
The Life Aquatic. I just absolutely adore the sad, disappointed and fragile characters. Fuckin hilarious!
The Star Wars OT. Probably ROTJ specifically. That was like an every weekend thing when I was a kid.
Firefly
For a while, it was weirdly “Long Kiss Goodnight”. It was getting heavy rotation on TV during my high-school exams, and improbaly watched it 15 times over the few weeks I was meant to be studying.
But now, probably LOTR extended edition, which I’ve seen every year since it came out, at my friend’s annual birthday celebrations.
- grammas boy
- back to the future (all of them)
- Ace ventura
- the mask
- good will hunting
- Beetlejuice
- hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
Joe Versus The Volcano (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0099892/) is my all time re-watch movie. So many themes, great cinematography, and very mythic.
If you’ve never seen it, your in for a treat!
I KNOW he can get the job. But can he DO the job?
I’m not arguing that with you!
