Sleepless in Seattle and the like

Hi bandylu! I

can't begin to tell you how nice it is to see you again after all this time.

I could watch "The Princess Bride" every

day and not get tired of it.

I just watched most

of the first "Men in Black" again. It's great for the genre. I was really struck by this exchange (paraphrased from

memory):

Jay [Will Smith]: Why don't you just tell people [about the aliens]? People are smart. They can handle

it.

Kay [Tommy Lee Jones]: A person is smart. People are dumb, dangerous animals, and you know it.

Hi boomerang --

great to see you, too (and you, too, sozobe).

Another of my favorites -- ET (I always get teary eyed at the

ending).

I don't feel too bad about my old favorites -- my husband absolutely loves to watch Weekend at

Bernies!!!!

When I was young I

watched some films over and over since I wasn't allowed to watch TV, I've watched some of these over 20 times.

Ben

Hur (I'd not watch this again).

Jesus of Nazareth (ditto)

Animals are Beautiful People (I love this

documentary)

Singing in the Rain (I love this movie)

That's Entertainment (don't remember

which)

Brigadooon (Gene Kelly was my hero as a child)

My Fair Lady (I love this one)

There are more but

I don't remember them all.

I generally don't like watching movies again but in the romantic comedy genre I like When

Harry met Sally

Okay.....begrudgingly.....

Pretty Woman
Rookie of the Year
Beauty and the

Beast
E.T.
Scrooged
Groundhog Day

I never get tired of any of these movies.

Ah, yes, Rae, I

forgot Pretty Woman -- I've watched that a zillion times, too.

Craven -- we did have tv, but my daughter still

watched certain movies over and over again (namely Charlotte's Web -- I think there was a time when she could have recited

the dialogue word for word). We also had homemade videos of all the Christmas kiddie shows (like Rudolph and Frosty and

such) which she would watch over and over -- all year long!

The Matrix
The Pelican Brief
The Negotiator
Aliens
Preadator
All of the Die Hards
Star Wars IV
The God Father (all Brando films)
The Horse Whisperer
Big
The Princess Bride
Beetle Geuse

I have a "short list" of movies that I watch early on Saturday and SUnday mornings while I'm drinking my coffeee and reading the paper:

Monthy Python's Holy Grail
Shrek
Harry Potter
The Junglebook
"Stagecoach" and "The Quiet Man" (1930's John Wayne)
The Count of Monte Christo (1934 Robert Donat version)
Captians Couragous (1937 Spencer Tracy version)
Kelly's Heros

Some Like it Hot
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
The Muppet Movie
The Party
Babette's Feast (i can see this one a lot, but only once it's big sweater season)

Amazing assortment of movies here (some of which, I admit, I never even saw once let alone multiple times). Joanne, I think you get the prize for the most varied list. Aliens??? Much too yucky for me.

I was surprised by your list too Joanne.
Mine:
Jaws
Blow Up
Bullitt
Thomas Crown Affair.(Original of course)

There´s many more if I had time to think hard but these four I watch every time I have the opportunity.

The Tao of Steve

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (I thought we were an anarchist collective!)

Fellowship of the Ring

The Searchers

Rio Bravo (nothing better than a cheesy Western an a rainy Saturday afternoon to wile away the time)

Zulu (Okay, so I have a weakness for action/adventure).

Favorites I forgot to include:

The Terminator series
All Sean Connery James Bond
Dr. Strangelove
Seven Days In May
US Marshalls and The Fugitive
Friendly Persuasion
The BBCs Royal Sheakspeare series
Both Henry Vs
Richard II

These are movies I have on tape and I watch some of them quite often.

Oh! Seven Days in May is a good one! I'd forgotten about that one.

And I'll add the original version of The Thing.

ok, i'll admit to this

spaghetti westerns


i love them


don't tell Setanta

Golly -- my list would just be too long!

Some goodies I can watch more than once a year:

"Jaws"
"The War of the Worlds" (the special effects for that time are still
incredible)
"2001: A Space Odyssey" (and looking forward to the IMAX version)
"The Fellowship of the Ring" (and looking forward to the extended version)
James Bond, but especially "From Russia with Love" and "The Spy Who
Love Me"

And I can also watch the really great art house/foreign films again and again but generally not with company! I guess I have to educate more of my friends.

LW the War Of The Worlds for got that one. Still holds up doesn't it. To my surprise once I had it on video and slow motioned through the part where the actual alien is seen it is really hokey so unlike the special effects of today.

There are tons of movies I could watch anytime, such as:

Terms of Endearment
Beaches
Always
Once Around
The Way We Were
My Best Friends Wedding
Pretty Woman
Bridges of Madison County
Rebecca
Back Street
Imitation of Life
The Blue Veil
I'll Cry Tomorrow

... and that's just for starters:)

Misti,that is one hell of a mushy list there.Are you a big Kleenex fan?
