What's a movie you re-watch a lot?
« on: April 29, 2016, 05:14:23 am »
Personally I don't re-watch a ton of movies.  I have a meager movie collection, basically takes up 3/4's of a standard, 6 foot tall, bookcase, mixing regular movies with anime, and some concert stuff.  I love watching new stuff, and while I do buy some to put into my collection, I only go back to certain movies on occasion.  I was realizing that there were certain ones I very much put in like once or more a year sometimes and that I've probably watched them a lot.

My first movie is Legend of the Drunken Master or just Drunken Master 2.  Possibly Jackie Chan's best movie.  The action in it is next level good.  Like I think I could almost say that there wasn't action that good again till like...The Raid in recent years.  I might be exaggerating slightly, but man Jackie Chan back then was incredible.

Another in a more feel good way is the old Disney Robin Hood cartoon.  I use to work at Blockbuster in the early 2000's, and there was always a movie playing if we didn't have the usual advertisement stuff going.  Generally we couldn't put on anything really higher than G-rated, PG if it was more due to action and such, but a few movies got put on regular rotation.  Sometimes it burnt the movies out for people, like Aladdin, I watched that a ton.  Robin Hood was always a feel good movie and I watched it not too long ago again on Blu-Ray and it holds up just right for me.  It's such an enjoyable and chill movie.

Sidenote, is there a good video list website like this place is for videogames or My Anime List is for Anime? Don't need anything fancy or for the community aspect, just for basic tracking.  I feel like there are some movies I'd like to start collecting and it would be nice to keep track of them.

I rewatch quite a few movies. First off, any Star Wars movie that didn't come out between 1999-2005, several of the Star Trek movies, the original Indiana Jones Trilogy, Jurassic Park, Hunt for Red October, the Rocky movies, Back to the Future, first two Alien movies, Happy Gilmore. That's just a few off the top of my head. There's something comforting about watching a classic favorite, like revisiting an old friend.

I actively re-watch movies all the time. The one I've re-watched the most (talking 50+ times) would be:
- Fight Club
- Transformers: The Movie
- Ghostbusters
- Forrest Gump

There are probably a couple dozen that fall into the 10+ watches category.

Certain movies just never get old or lose their appeal to me and even if I don't own it, I'll watch it on DirecTV if I see it.

Star Wars (all of them)
Star Trek (all of them...less so for Final Frontier and Generations as I thought they sucked)
Ghostbusters (the first, the second one is pretty lame but I watch it every couple of years)
Indiana Jones (all of them...less so for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull because Shia LaDouce and space magic)
Happy Gilmore
Lord of the Rings Extended Editions

Not sure really, I suppose I catch Back to the Future being broadcast on occasions.  I still enjoy the trilogy a lot, I just don't want to ruin the sentiment by watching them too often.

I need to go back to watching more Mel Brooks stuff.  Been awhile since I've seen Spaceballs and Blazing Saddles.

I've seen Old School, Major League, Dumb and Dumber, The Frisco Kid, Waking Ned Devine and A Christmas Carol at least a dozen times each. I also rewatch the show King of the Hill a lot. When I a kid I watched Star Wars 4-6 probably at least ten times each.

Don't forget Young Frankenstein and Robin Hood: Men in Tights

Mel Brooks should be knighted.
