    The lost boys is one for me. Never get tired of watching it every now and again.

    Can't think of anything else at the moment, but you guys must have a few.

    Snatch - Watched it again last night on Tv, seems to get better every time you watch it. Love the line - "I HATE Pikies"
    The Big Lebowski - Watched it on video last night too. Funniest film of all time.
    The Matrix - Mind bending stuff
    Donnie Darko - Brilliant acting, engaging story, fantastic soundtrack.
    Empire Strikes Back - the one where the empire strike back, nuff said.
    Fight Club - One the best movies of my generation.

    I'd totally agree with Snatch (d'ya like dags?). Brilliant movie.... Must pick it up in Xtravision's sale this week.

    Anyone who says Star Wars gets a slap....

    Im just a sucker for early Steve Martin movies. Must of seen The Man With 2 Brains and The Jerk at least 20 times at this stage.

    Agree with One Flew Over The Cuckoos nest. Interestingly enough i have found that i only really started rewatching movies once i got myself a DVD player. Would rarely do that with a VCR.

    Films I really love, I don't like to watch too often as I don't wish my appreciation for them to diminish.

    Films I like to watch often are those that are guaranteed to provide laughs, some examples being:

    Wayne's World I, II
    National Lampoon's European Vacation (classic cheese)
    The 3 Naked Gun movies

    Jaws - classic
    Mr. Deeds - don;t ask I just really enjoy it
    Dumb and Dumber - so stupid it's laughable
    Ace Ventura - cracks me up everytime
    Full Metal Jacket - excellent!!
    Some Like It Hot - need I say more
    Se7en - Freeman's performance

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,388 ✭✭✭Señor Juárez


    Jay and Silent Bob strike back, tbh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,322 ✭✭✭phobos


    Aliens....Definately!. Tis my favorite movie of all time. The directors cut is fairly long, but I've seen it, and will still re-watch it for years to come.

    "We're going out there to destroy them.....not to study.....not to bring back.....but to wipe them out!" Classic ;)

    I'm not going to name any more, because out of all the movies I've learned to love, that is the only one that has really held it's rank over time.
