Yes, but this is the only film where I can do that, and I do not do it regularly. It has happened probably twice since 1994, where I've watched it and then watched it again. And in total I have probably seen the film 6-8 times. It is not like I dress up as a prisoner and sing along with all the tunes every weekend.
@matwoolf is like a fine bordeaux. It takes a bit to appreciate the legs and the waft, but once you've the trick of it...
Ach well, the ageing brain has conjured up the false picture of when I saw it first. Can't argue with Wikipedia et al. My mistake, Mat.
Just one? - Don't think I could it also depends on what I'm in the mood for. I like classic movies. But I'm not high brow about it - haven't watched Citizen Kane yet ... but I love -You Can't Take it With You, Murder He Says, Double Indemnity, The Fugitive Kind, Marnie ( of course this leaves off some of my favorite stars. The list could go on and on. ) and oddball types - like Lord Love a Duck, Two for the Road, the Eyes of Laura Mars, The Hill, Lolita. And 'newer' films - Gal Young 'un, Alice -by Jan Svankmajer & Little Otik , Something Wild, House of Games, Elephant Song.
@peachalulu The Hill is in my top 5. I love that film. Also Citizen Kane is just great, not artsy or pretentious or high-brow, just great.
I have Citizen Kane - I just haven't watched it yet. Which is odd cause I do like Orson Wells. I didn't care much for All the Kings Men and for some reason thought it might be like it. So I avoided it. Yeah, the Hill is great. I'm not crazy about war movies so I always like when someone has a different take on the subject.
I have not seen that one. And generally I am not keen on war movies too, but sometimes they let you live the life of such men and that is for me, now as a writer speaking, invaluable. But it makes for hard introspection
If I were to pick just one, that'd be Disney's The Beauty and the Beast. But there are others I've seen multiple times and don't seem to get tired of, e.g. The Big Lebowski, Aliens, and Natural Born Killers. When I was something like 13, I watched The Matrix over and over again. I've seen it like 20 times by now.
Have you watched The Matrix again recently? The endless pseudo-philosophical dialogue actually makes my ears bleed. I find it cringy. Don't get me wrong, I loved it when I was younger. When I was in my early 20s I also watched Fight Club a few times- and same thing with that- if I watch it now, it makes me hide behind the sofa in embarrassment.
Oh yes, I have the same problem with both, the Matrix and Fight Club. I just can't really watch either of them anymore. But I remember renting Fight Club several times and thinking that's some cool shit right there. I have both on DVD now, but I think I've watched them like once.
Any time I find My Cousin Vinny on TV I go out of my way to watch it. The first Jurassic Park is another one. My knee-jerk reaction is to list all my favorites, but I don't tend to watch movies over again very often. The above two definitely get the most re-watches.
