I haven't known what movies to watch lately. Does everyone have their own treasure movies that they've seen many times? 😀

Kung Fu Hustle I’ve seen countless times.

That and Shaolin Soccer are sacred films to me. :D

[-] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Journey To The West as well, though.

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

I'll have to find this one! Also a Stephen Chow movie?

[-] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes. It’s very similar to Kung Fu Hustle, but in a fantasy setting. It’s loosely based on some Chinese folklore of the same name.

[-] apftwb@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Brazil (1984)

[-] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I watched that like 8 times over the course of summer holiday as a teen.

My parents were on vacation, I'd borrowed it from the library and every time some friends visited, they saw the dvd and went "oh lets watch pulp fiction!".

It does lose some of it's appeal around viewing 5, but still enjoyable. But me and my one friend who was there often could almost act the whole movie by the end, so that was fun.

Pretty much any studio Ghibli movie. Have watched spirited away, Totoro, howls moving castle, valley of the wind, and many more more than 3x. Don't often rewatch stuff but have a soft spot for ghibli!

[-] AGD4@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Primer doesn't count. You haven't watched it once until you've watched it three times.

I watch The Hogfather every Christmas (Hogswatch?) Eve. Think the count is up to 11 or 12 now.

[-] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Tron: Legacy (that's 2010) This is probably more driven by limited selection in the cable days than free choice, but I do enjoy these. Not everything has to be a masterpiece to be enjoyable

Demolition Man
Probably most Star Wars between 1-6 Probably Fast and Furious 1, 2, 3.
Jurassic Park 1 and 3 (I swear 2 never aired on cable) Spider Man, Toby maguire, 1 and 2 Probably half the Pirates of the Caribbean
Batman Begins, maybe The Dark Knight
Men In Black, definitely
Shrek
Elf

Honorable mention due to irony: I accidentally watched Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind a second time, forgetting I watched it already.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Lots.

The OG Star Wars (4, 5, 6)

Shawshank Redemption

Edge Of Tomorrow

Top Gun

Princess Bride (top 5 sword fight!)

Most all of Pixar’s stuff, and Dreamwork’s kids movies. My kids grew up with them.

Sleepy Hollow (Depp/Ricci version)

The Departed

Rob Roy (another top 5 sword fight)

Dune (original ‘80s version)

Alien/Aliens/Alien 3

Tron

Goonies

Rat Race

Lost Boys

Robin Hood: Men in Tights

The Breakfast Club

Ferris Buellers Day Off

Deadpool

The LOTR trilogy

Blade Runner - both films

Heist (a lesson in writing a script consisting of one-liners)

Ocean’s 11

The Name Of The Rose

The Last Mohican

Master And Commander

5th Element

Any of the Monty Python films, but especially Quest for the Holy Grail

That’s a start.

If I had to whittle it down to absolute favorites: Princess Bride, Monty Python, and OG Star Wars.

Midnight Run - it's just a perfect movie, not one frame is superfluous in this movie

The Thing - yearly re-watch

Spirited Away - yearly re-watch (always accompanied by other Miyazaki movies)

Smiley Face - one of the few movies that make me smile, Anna Faris is the cutest thing ever

Alien - I watched it secretly as a kid while everybody was asleep at home, and watched it who knows how many times since. It didn't scare me, it kindled my love for sci-fi.

[-] Auth@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I watched the thing for the first time very recently. That movie holds up so well.

I revisit Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind every few years when I wanna get my guts all twisted into knots.

I think when Kaufman is left on his own he's too much of a bummer and Gondry on his own is just too far out. But somehow they come together in a perfect balance with Jim Carey in perhaps his best serious role, IMHO. The soundtrack really takes it the extra mile.

I appreciate it because Joel and Clementine come off as just two kinda fucked up people having a kinda fucked up relationship; very relatable. Neither is perfect or completely at fault and the film very much leaves it up to your interpretation if they can or should work together. I don't think it has a happy ending, do you? Compare that to something like 500 Days of Summer where you're really supposed to sympathize with Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character but mostly I end up wanting to push him into the mud. Hard.

The subplot between the doctor and his secretary is maybe a little unnecessary? But Kirsten Dunst is amazing so whatever.

I wish I had stayed.
