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
-
Kung Fury. It’s a short film, so maybe that’s cheating. Regardless, I love the writing. It’s the perfect blend of absurdity and over the top action. It’s a Swedish made film that’s a satire of 80’s cop and Kung fu movies. Free to watch on YouTube.
Sounds cool, I’ll have to watch this the next time we have seen absurd movie night.
Spirited away… Something about the first opening notes of the piano when that movie starts always moves me and fills me with such warm feelings.
Honestly most studio Ghibli movies I’ve watched a lot… But man… Spirited away does something to me.
The Shawshank Redemption.
The Star Wars OT. Probably ROTJ specifically. That was like an every weekend thing when I was a kid.
Firefly
Contact or Big Trouble In Little China. Love those movies.
Seven/ Se7en I know most of it’s dialogue by heart. Went to see it at the theater when it premiered and stayed to watch it three more times, it blew my mind! I had never seen anything like it. It is my favorite movie of all time.
My partner rewatches that as like a comfort movie. I always found it so dark and hopeless and disconcerting. It really felt like a vision of hell when I first saw it.
Although I’ve caught parts of it while she’s watching so often that I’ve become a bit desensitized, so I can appreciate it for it’s merits more. It is a great movie.
Aw you seem like a supportive partner❤️ I think me and her would get along just dandy. Weird women unite!
- Shawshank
- The Great Escape
- Beyond the Clouds
- Groundhog Day
has to be old bud spencer and terrence hill movies, pretty popular in germany. I know there is a couple of them, but they are all pretty much the same anyway. ;-)
Pacific Rim
Tron Legacy, the vibe is captivating.
I’m afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:
2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Miller’s Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard’s seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
From Russia With Love.
The Spy Who Loved Me.Summer Wars. And it still tears me up.
