)T - Movies you can watch...

....over and over and over again and still love watching. "Dirty
Dancing" is on ABC's "Family" channel and I still clicked on it to
watch. I *SO* miss Patrick Swayze. Yeah, this one has commercials in
it and I could walk upstairs (not easily, though) and get the DVD to
bring down and watch, but it's so much easier to just click the remote.

Other movies I never get tired of watching are listed below and in order
(where my holey memory suffices) of likeability/watchability...

- "The Turning Point" (or any dance movie)
- "White Knights" (or any movie or video clip featuring Mikhail
Baryshnikov)
- "Star Trek" (the latest one - I'm not sure of the title and I'm too
lazy to go look, but this one may end up being my number 1 on the list,
I think whoever cast that movie was a genius; all the characters were
spot-on perfect)
- "The Fifth Element"
- "Armageddon"
- "Independence Day"
- "Avatar"
- "Over The Hedge" (that ADHD squirrel will make me bust my stitches
belly laugh every time)
- "Jurassic Park" (and most modern special effects block-busters)
- "Star Wars, Episodes 4, 5 and 6" (yes I am a sci-fi geek, I freely
admit)
- "Gone in Sixty Seconds"

Movies I can re-watch but need more time in between viewings...

- "The Mummy"
- "Shrek 2"
- "Ice Age"
- "Harry Potter" (any episode, but I usually take a whole day to watch
them from beginning to end)
- "Twister" (special effects)
- "Lord of the Rings" (any of the three, but I usually take a whole
day to watch them from beginning to end)
- "What Women Want" (yes, I especially like the dance scene - go
figure ;)
- "The Day After Tomorrow"
- "Indiana Jones" (all except the last, some things are better left
undone and that role, like Han Solo, needs to be left decently alone)
- "Ocean's Eleven"

There are some that I really enjoyed watching once but not watching over
and over, like "Troy" (Brad Pit at his yummy best - who else thinks he's
not aging well, or is it my "how could you do that to poor Jen and for
that slut" talking?).

What about you guys?

I won't go into the movies I wish I had saved my time hanging by my toes
in a dungeon rather than watching - there are way too many and in those
cases I appreciate my holey memory, but please feel free to list those
as well.

I know we've done this topic before, but we have newbies here and
besides, my memories have gone "through the wormhole"! ;

I haven't seen some of those, but I agree on several of them.

My all-time favorites include:

Shrek II (by far the best of the Shrek movies, IMO, although I enjoyed them
all)
Second Hand Lions
The Green Mile
Forrest Gump

I know there are others, but I can't think of them at the moment.

Oh, you reminded me, I loved "Second Hand Lions" - a lovely little
"sleeper" of a movie.

Which "True Grit" - the new or the classic with John Wayne? I think
there are a few "Young Frankenstein" fans here if I remember past
discussions on this topic - I like it too (I like all of Gene Wilder's
movies, so "Blazing Saddles" is a favorite too). I'd heard there was
more blood spilled in the opening 5 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan"
than in the totality of any other movie, so I deliberately missed that one.

Yes. I don't know how many times I've seen it, but the last line always
makes me cry. In fact, I can't even quote it or think about it without
tearing up.

I liked some of those and haven't seen others. I consider Saving Private
Ryan one of the best movies I've ever seen, but once was enough. I don't
ever want to see it again.

"Saving Private Ryan" was extremely well done, but I was emotionally drained
after the opening scene.

Lord Love a Duck! Seriously, it's a comedy and one of the funniest I
have ever seen.
The most recent Star Trek
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Anything from Mel Brooks
Robin Hood (the one with Errol Flynn and his delicious tights)

Too early to think of more...

Forbidden in my house: anything with Angelina Jolie.

Blessed be,

Lawrence of Arabia

Blade Runner

The Year of Living Dangerously

Unforgiven

Casablanca

The Big Sleep

City Lights, especially w/ the later added music composed by Charlie
Chaplin.

Limelight

The General

Steamboat Bill Jr.

The Grapes of Wrath

Almost ALL of the films directed by John Ford. I consider him to be the
greatest American film director of all time, by far.

There are quite a few movies he has directed, that I have NEVER had the
opportunity to see. It's one of my life goals, to see all of the films
directed by John Ford.

There are MANY others.
