Lord of the Rings.

Queue the goosebumps, we’re in for a hell of a ride.
The Princess Bride. It’s such a fun adventure that still holds up really well today.
INCONCEIVABLE!
That word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
I still need to watch this, thank you for reminding me.
Spaceballs, Ghostbusters (original), LotR, Labyrinth, The Holy Grail…
Ghostbusters for me too. Never gets old :-)
Ghostbusters is probably the single movie I can quote from one end to the other.
That and maybe Robocop.
Where do those stairs go?
They go up.
Probably Chevy Chase’s Christmas Vacation since it has been tradition every holiday season.
As a kid, Rescuer’s Down Under or The Paper Brigade was re-watched a lot.
Apart from that, it’s a close tie for:
- The Matrix
- Sin City
- The Chronicles of Riddick
- Terminator 2
- The Sandlot
- I, Robot
- Joe Dirt
Just good replay value.
The Sandlot is such a great film. Even my daughter who doesn’t know anything about baseball loves watching it with me. There is no other movie that gives me the same feelings as that. There is no major drama or traumatic incidents. Just kids having fun over the summer.
You know nowadays they would have made the stepdad an alcoholic or animal control would have come and taken Hercules away after they found out he was nice, or some other kind of drama like that. But this movie doesn’t do any of that. It’s just a fun story about a bunch of kids being kids.
The Matrix. No other movie is even close
Yup. Insane movie.
Crazy how dog shit all the movies after the first are, though.
Office Space. The Usual Suspects used to be on TV all the time back in the day and is probably a close second.
The Big Lebowski
You want a toe? I can get ya a toe. Believe me, there are ways dude, you don’t even wanna know about ‘em, believe me. Hell, I can get ya a toe by three o’clock this afternoon, with nail polish.
Airplane!
Didn’t expect to see that one here, but good choice
Monty Python and the Holy Grail or The Fifth Element.
Hackers
Hack the planet!!
Yo. Check this out guys, this is insanely great, it’s got a 28.8 BPS modem!
WOOHOO! BOOM
Home Alone. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I don’t really rewatch movies anymore. There is so much content out there that I haven’t watched, I would rather see something new than just rewatch something that I’ve already seen.
Monty Python’s The Holy Grail
As a child: Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer
As a university student: Heat, Léon, 2001
As an adult, before kids: Sicario, Brick
As an adult, after kids: Cars
What I wish my answer was: Koyaanisqatsi
you might love Baraka
I DO love Baraka. One day, I’ll get to see a 70mm print of it.
KOYAAAAAAA
NISQATSIIIIIIIII
Groundhog Day
It’s my goto movie to put on when I’m sick. Can pass in and out of consciousness and you still kinda know what’s going on.
I have a few that will be very close as I decided a bit over a decade ago to limit myself to one rewatch a year of each to stop myself sucking all the joy out of them:
-
Alien - my favorite survival horror
-
Aliens - my favorite Nam movie
-
Jaws - my favorite version of Moby Dick, although I really like Godzilla Minus One take on Jaws
-
Jurassic Park - best big stompy monster film for me
-
Lord of the Rings - this is always over Christmas. Its not faithful enough for me to the books but it still manages to be an outstanding Trilogy.
-
Emperors New Groove - favorite body swap film
