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.
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.
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.
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'.
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.
Hot fuzz
By the power of Grayskull...
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.
The classics. Back to the Future trilogy, Ghostbusters, Kung Pow, Terminator 2, there's so many!
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.
Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)
The Italian Job (2003)
Sneakers (1992)
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.
Think i saw it on Freevee or Tubi just last week. Oooorr maybe not. Just looked and couldn't find it. I know I saw it available free with ads somewhere cause I'd just talked about it with someone and then noticed it was available.
Aaaarr
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
Two of those have been remade, are we talking only the originals?
Heck no!
(Updated post for clarity)
Groundhog Day
The Big Lebowski, Donnie Brasco, Thirteen Days
Alllll right way to go Donny
LoTR, hunt for red October, most Bond films. The Mummy.
Clue
Thor Ragnarok. Its a perfect mix of comedy and fun
See you later new Doug
"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.
I love all alien movies but I always fall asleep at the first one. Maybe I was too young and need faster movies.
I think I should watch it again. Wasn't there a remastered 4K version, lately?
Dunno. I've got it on Blu-ray... that's... 4k...? I'm not sure.
Is it “2024-new"? I thought I read about a remastered version from this year.
Oceans 11, I can watch that when I'm happy, sad, sick, or just on in the background. The perfect heist movie
Lately, Megamind and Scott Pilgrim vs the World.
Also, Terminator 2, and lots of others that I can't think of right now.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, watching it every year on christmas,... Still laughing my ass off.
The matrix. The princess bride. Charlie and the chocolate factory.
Amadeus
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:
::: spoiler
!"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."
:::
Spaceballs
Fuck, even in the future nothing works
Unforgiven. No Country for Old Men. Shawshank Redemption
Great suggestions so far. I'll add a few that I didn't see mentioned yet.
Dogma
The Godfather 1 and 2
Tombstone
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.
I'll never not laugh at
"Kane! How many times have I told you to knock before coming into my office?"
"Uh... I did knock but I think the music is too loud?"
"Does it scare you?"
"No... I just don't really like techno."
"You would if you had robot ears."
"Uh.... Yeah. Maybe."
My brother and I quote this money to this day, such a classic.
"How could he see me?"
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
Any Lord of the Rings.
ITT: Cults and their followers.
I've seen The Prince of Egypt about a dozen times, and I love it each time.
Kingdom of Heaven
Contact
LOTR
Pulp Fiction
The 5th element
Die Hard 1
Back to the Future, any
Jurassic Park 1

Caddyshack. I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned.
Thank you very little

Rush Hour

Kung Pow

Harry Potter
Rush Hour: The Lion King
Carter and Lee take on a nefarious plot to overthrow the king in the African savannah, ultimately foiling Scar's plot and ensuring Simba inherits the throne, whilst working undercover in the Hyena underworld.
Kung Pow: LotR
The Fellowship of the Fist must face off against Lord Sauron, but first Frodo must train under True Master Gandalf to achieve his destiny.
Harry: Potter
Detective Harry Calahan must infiltrate a secluded military school in the Scottish countryside as the new DADA teacher, in order to take down an organisation known only as "Dumbledore's Army" led by a single battle-scarred teen known only as The Potter.
Top-tier recommendations, good sir
The Mummy, The Princess Bride, The Devil Wears Prada and Jurassic Park never get old for me.
Dirty rotten scoundrels
LOTR. Dumb and Dumber.
Dodgeball, Space Jam, anything with Adam Sandler, SuperBad, anything with Jim Carrey,
Groundhog Day
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
Spaceballs
Strictly Ballroom, Baz' first film
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.
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.
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
Kung Pow is just SO, SO, SO good!

Prince of darkness
The original salem's lot
Reefer Madness (Musical), Prince of Egypt, Hunchback of Norte Dame, Marie Antoinette, Kiki's Delivery Service.
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.
I have hyperfixation issues so just about any movie I like.
The Birdcage. Every time it ends, I want to restart it.
Porch Rosso and some other ghibli movies I guess.
2001: A Space Odyssey

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.
