    Now that my DVD collection has expanded to the point where i'm hopelessly behind on watching all the stuff i own, i don't rewatch films. Though in my earlier days, i spent much too much time watching the likes of Aliens, Star Wars, Dazed & Confused, and various other films where i could leave my brain at the door.

    The only film i've watched reasonably recently a couple of times is Old School.

    I have far too many dvd's, the only ones that are watched a lot are Boogie Nights The virgin suicides, American psycho, clueless and labrynth.
    I think films with great soundtracks stand up to repeated viewings better, as is the case with the above films.

    The soundtrack, I could listen to it over and over ( not coz I'm a gladiator freak, but the music is excellent.

    Movies that never get old:

    The Naked Gun series

    The Hot Chick (the one with rob schneider)

    Evil Dead 3 Army of Darkness (The part where the fakest skeleton in the world punches him and bruce picks it up and breaks it in half, WWF style)

    Its not really a movie, but its a dvd about the black midget "beetle", and there's one part where he orders a chinese takeaway and answers the door naked, with slices of cheese and ham stuck to his body. He then tells the chinese guy the moneys on the table so the chinese guy has to come inside and has to go and count it all out on the table (its all tiny change like 10c), while beetle just stands there in all these different poses, looking tiny, covered in ham and cheese. I dont think I've laughed so much as I did at this and it NEVER gets old.

    Every movie does get old, its just you can bear the comedies more then the actions over a long period.

    My old well watched favourites are;
    my Star Wars collection... except The Phanthom Menace (that movie had to be a practical joke) :p
    also my Indiana Jones trilogy :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 999 ✭✭✭cregser


    I don't think anyone has mentioned Full Metal Jacket
    Not that I own it, but I watch it whener I can. Like Predator I watched it as a boy obsessed with films with soldiers, Arnie, explosions and helicopters in jungles. Favourite quote - "I wanted to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill."

    Also the usuals: Pulp Fiction, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Dazed and Confused (actually I've over watched that), Desperado (untill recently) and the Jungle Book when I was only likkle.


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Cant believe that no one has mentioned South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,460 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    I only saw dazed and confused last week, but I watched it again since, so I'd say that'll be a movie I'll watch over and over.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,215 ✭✭✭harney


    Batman - with Keaton
    Matrix
    Blade Runner
    Evil Dead 2 - That hand was more deserving of an Oscar than some recipients :D
    Evil Dead 3 - when he's getting the book of the dead
