Some Things Never Lose Their Awesomeness

[VanessaS]

I watched The Usual Suspects last night for about the hundredth time and it was just as awesome as the first. Well... maybe just a wee bit less awesome.
What movies do you love so much that you will watch them over and over again and never cease to be entertained?

No scuffing required! I have actually never seen Avatar. Friends of mine told me it made them cry, so I haven't had the guts to see it. I should really put it on my list.

Not sure why I love it so much, but occasionally I'll sneak into my room and watch it

When the Lord of the Rings movies first came out, my sister was in middle school. She watched one of the movies EVERY. DAY. for like 3 months. These movies are like 3 hours long. She was in love with Legolas...

I don't have movies I watch over and over and over, but I've seen my favorite movies a few times (Hero, The Lion in Winter) and there are some other good ones I've seen a few times (Sunshine springs immediately to mind). I have rewatched some TV shows a few times, too (hello, Star Trek DS9).

For me it's definitely "Big Fish" from Tim Burton. But it's not the only one, only the first to come to my mind!

Speaking of fish, A fish called Wanda was excellent, I've seen that movie 10-15 times. Feast, an old comedy-horror, never gets old (not for kiddies). Anything by Guy Richie or Tarantino. The remake of the usual suspects was awesome. An old movie called Vallhalla rising. I like Michael Manns older more serious stuff. Thief. Heat was good too. The Way of the Gun was fantastic, I forget who directed that one. I've seen Reservoir Dogs several times, huge fan of Tarantino..even if he is an arrogant douche. Old horror classics like the thing, or the fog. I could go on

I watched Blade Runner last night and that is another winner for me. You know it was supposed to take place in 2019? Hahahaha!
Awesome, awesome flick and one of my all time favourites.

I don't know if this falls under this topic, but I don't have any friends to tell about this, so here I am. I just watched Cloud Atlas for the first time. I've read the book, and the movie was similar but not the same. I would like to watch it again, but I'm sitting here crying, so maybe I'd better not. Frobisher and Sixsmith freakin' broke me,

Movies that get to you like that should only be watched once When I was a kid I had a lot of trouble hiding my sobbing when I thought ET was dead..ive never watched it again, lol. Old yeller, turner and hooch, any movie that stirs up powerful emotions, I only watch once. Last House on the Left...The rape scene, when she started crying like a little girl..I don't even remember what happened next because I was concentrating hard on controlling the rage..I had to tell myself repeatedly that it was just a movie, and I made drinks for myself and my girlfriend so I could detach myself and calm down. Screw that movie..homicidal rage is not my idea of a good time.

I was very impressed by Cloud Atlas too. Don't understand why the critics were bad.

Yeah, I think it wouldn't be as powerful the second time around, but it was a pretty dense movie so I think i might catch more details if I rewatch it. It's weird. I don't get upset by things in real life. It takes a fictional character to make me feel anything. Funny you mention E.T... I saw it for the first time when I was like 4 and it creeped me out so much that I never rewatched it! I hated how he got all grey when he was sick.

I think it was probably too eastern for most western critics to understand. I especially loved the book, which was more subtle, but the movie seized on a few major themes and expanded them more than the book did.

Donnie Darko, although you kinda have to watch it a few times [emoji14]

For me I only have a hand full of movies I can watch over and over. Tombstone, the first 2 of the matrix trilogy. The third was just too far out there, it bored me. Young guns is another. That's all of the top of my head.
