sjordan2 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) I have movies that I think are the greatest ever made, but they can be so intense or complicated that it takes me a long time to see them again. That would include: Lawrence of Arabia Schindler's List The Searchers Paths of Glory and many more. But there are movies that that are so fascinating to watch, for reasons that only a psychiatrist could explain, that I see them at least once or twice a year... Grand Prix The Magnificent Seven Tombstone The Vikings The Third Man Casablanca The Great Escape The Guns of Navarone El Cid etc. How about you?

Austin T Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Some movies you have to watch more than once to fully understand,for example "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" is the best example. I think I've seen Pulp fiction,Blues Brothers, Drive, all the F & F movies,ect. a dozen or so times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 F or me it would be The Godfather 1 & 2, JAWS, and Spaced Invaders, a very underrated movie, to my way of thinking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I tend to be a "one and done" type. Once I've seen a movie and I know how it ends, watching it again is pointless (to me)... especially "whodunit" movies or any movie with a plot twist or surprise ending... (do you see dead people? ) The only movie I have watched repeatedly is The Wizard of Oz. It used to be on TV once a year when I was a kid, and I watched it every year. I've seen it maybe 20-25 times in my life. And yeah, I still get a kick out of it even though I have almost the whole script memorized at this point! There are a very small handful of movies that I have specifically made an effort to see more than once, but very few. Escape From Alcatraz (starring Clint Eastwood) Road to Perdition (Tom Hanks, Paul Newman) The Verdict (Paul Newman) The Outlaw Josie Wales (Eastwood again) The Blues Brothers Titanic (because of the absolutely fantastic effects and attention to period detail in every way) That's about it as far as me watching the same movie more than once.

Petetrucker07 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I watch Titanic over and over. Main reason is Kate Winslet looks really good in that movie. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, i watch that scene with Jessica Biel over and over, after she got rained on, man that scene brings a tear to my eye.

Plenty of sweet old cars and bikes there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmvw guy Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 For me it's; Cars Toy Story 1,2 and 3 Madagascar 1, 2 and 3 This is mainly because my 3 year old grandson is here with me 2 or 3 days a week and this is what he loves. We have watched each one at least 20 times. I personally never get enough of Cars. He also loves Curious George movies and TV shows. I think I have seen them all! I like; American Graffiti about once a year Vacation movies with Chevy Chase all 3 Steve Martin movies like The Jerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think coz they keep replaying them here in Australia over and over! Back when cable was new in the US, both my parents and my inlaws got it before we did. It seemed every time I'd go to either house and turn on the TV, the movie "10" was on! They must've shown that day and night for years! Me? I don't really get to watch movies often. In fact our main TV in the den isn't even connected to a DVD or VHS machine. My wife usually has command of that TV with rubbish shows like Dancing With The Stars and The Bachelor on ... I can hear Long Island Medium playing in the next room right now! But to name one... "It's a Wonderful Life". My older daughter and I always sit down together to watch this one around Christmas time. My wife and younger daughter don't get it! One year I heard that they were playing it in an old restored 1920s movie theater and I thought it would be a treat for the family to see the movie like it was originally shown. The two whiners ruined that trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
