I revisit Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind every few years when I wanna get my guts all twisted into knots.
I think when Kaufman is left on his own he's too much of a bummer and Gondry on his own is just too far out. But somehow they come together in a perfect balance with Jim Carey in perhaps his best serious role, IMHO. The soundtrack really takes it the extra mile.
I appreciate it because Joel and Clementine come off as just two kinda fucked up people having a kinda fucked up relationship; very relatable. Neither is perfect or completely at fault and the film very much leaves it up to your interpretation if they can or should work together. I don't think it has a happy ending, do you? Compare that to something like 500 Days of Summer where you're really supposed to sympathize with Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character but mostly I end up wanting to push him into the mud. Hard.
The subplot between the doctor and his secretary is maybe a little unnecessary? But Kirsten Dunst is amazing so whatever.
That movie is my white whale. I have tried to watch it a dozen times and Iāve never finished it. Not for lack of interest or trying. Just canāt do itĀ
"I hate regular people. Regular people spend their entire lives running away from tense situations. Repo man spends his whole life getting into tense situations."
I think of all the movies everyone has mentioned only the Rocky Horror Picture Show is the one Iāve seen more then three times in cinemas. Sure Iāve seen a lot of movies three or more times but only Rocky had Saturday night Midnight showings that I went to for a couple of years.
On second thought the local rep house also played Stop Making Sense for a few months for Friday night midnight dance parties and Iām pretty sure I went to 10 or 12 of those too.
I don't re-watch movies very often, and more than three times is rare as hens' teeth. Sometimes it's because it's an absolute classic, or sometimes it's because I'm weirdly fascinated by it. Let's see if I can remember those rare exceptions.
Starship Troopers (good movie, and something about it charmed my socks off)
Les Triplettes de Belleville (absolutely must-see, smashing masterpiece, no need to know French) (free to watch here!)
Big Lebowski (words cannot describe)
The Life of Brian (Monty Python's finest movie IMO, and a fascinating commentary on religion)
Fire and Ice (good movie, and I found the rotoscoping utterly entrancing) (free to watch here and here!)
The Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. I know it's popular to hate on them and point out flaws, but most of them are perfect "junk food" comfort food flicks. And some of them are really good!
Every day is (of course) excessive. Also, similar to how you shouldn't listen to your favorite song every day, even most die-hard fans would get sick of it with that much exposure...
Pretty much any studio Ghibli movie. Have watched spirited away, Totoro, howls moving castle, valley of the wind, and many more more than 3x. Don't often rewatch stuff but have a soft spot for ghibli!
A ton, but the one I'm most inclined to talk about is The Thing (1982). We rewatch it almost weekly since I introduced my spouse to it which is amazing because each time we spend about an hour afterwards dissecting the things motives, the order of replacements, different theories, etc. It's truely one of the best movies ever made. The practical effects get a ton of praise, but for me it's just gotta efficiently the movie is at what it does. You know every character within minutes of their appearance, you feel the alienation and paranoia, and the thing itself is so inexplicable that even after hundreds of watches in my life time I genuinely can't rationalize why it does what it does.
The 2011 one would have been better if they left in the pilot alien and had better set and custome guys. It doesn't feel like a pequal, it feels like a remake set in 2011.
True. I wouldn't say he's the greatest, but the guy has a good sense of pacing, framing, and understands how to create a narrative with just the camera.
Definitely agree there. The first two were so good, I don't exactly remember everything in the third one but I remember being really put off in general.
A lot of good moments in that movie. My fave is when that scientist has to tell Hal to stay behind, and Hal's like hol up, what'll happen to me? Then for a couple seconds the movie just pauses while Hal decides whether to go along with it or not.
So, when they were preparing for the first movie, the monolith was supposed to be a shiny diamond. Nothing the effects people could come up with looked right, so in the story boards they replaced the diamond with a black box. Then someone said that the black box looked cool, so they went with the monolith.
For years, fans speculated about what the monolith meant. Clarke and Kubrick kept mum. Finally, Clarke was at an event and some kid said he had the anwer.
The ratio of the monolith was 1 : 4 : 9, the squares of the first three numbers.
I think 2010 is underrated bc to really get into that movie you had to: 1) have watched 2001, 2) have liked 2001, 3) be open to a sequel that was very different in tone.
I also really liked the way that scientist was having a dialogue with his computer back on Earth. AI seemed so open, so full of possibility, not so limited and corporate like it turned out to be.
I'd say that the difference in tone is the biggest hurdle.
If you get a chance, watch 'The French Connection II.' It was also poorly received. The best part is Gene Hackman's performance. I won't give away any spoilers, but it's more about his struggles than solving a crime.
Where The Buffalo Roam has 2 of my favorite scenes from any movie. When he just starts shooting the dirt bank on the side of the road while driving, and when the lawyer climbs the fucking hospital to get in the window lol. It may be a hot take, but I like that movie way more than Fear and Loathing (I love both though).
I think I was on my five millionth rewatch when I noticed that David Lo Pan appears briefly before they drive down the alley and meet the funeral procession.
Also, Margo is actually the duaghter of Richard Burton.
How do you manage to watch the OG star wars more than twice? I saw New Hope in the theatre. I saw the next one in the theatre and almost walked out. I saw the third one and thought OK I can deal with this, but not great.
Then I re-watched a New Hope again and realized, this is a boring movie.
No, I was serious. What do you find interesting enough to watch more than three times? New Hope was entertaining when I was 8, I must have seen that movie in the theater at least 10 times.
But as time went by I came to realize its pretty shallow, acting isn't so great and the wow effects of 1977 aren't much compared to the last 20 years. I actually get disappointed that I can't enjoy re-watching it as much as so many other movies. Maybe I saw it too much.
I will change the question: Which version do you prefer? I can say I like the original as released best, all the changes later just don't feel right to me.
There are plenty (nearing my 60s, I've had plenty time to watch movies ;). So allow me to name just a few I always enjoy watching. They are in no order save the two first ones:
'2001 A Space Odyssey'. There are movies, many are not that great, some are excellent and of those a few are true work of art, and then there is '2001'. I'm an admirer of most of Kubrick's work but this one is in a category of its own. I hated the first time I watched it, then I watched it again and was blown away, sequence after sequence. And I'm blown away every single time I re-watch it. It's one of the two movies I consider on par with the greatest books I've ever read.
'12 Angry Men'. Or what it means/should mean to live and to be a citizen in a democracy.
Gone With the Wind.
Ghost in the Shell (the original anime)
The Dictator (Chaplin)
'The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean'. I love this movie despite all its flaws. I love every bits of it, even its flaws. And I love its ending even more.
'Dances with Wolves'. I'm a sucker for Westerns and this one, right with 'Open Range' and maybe 'True Grit' (the Cohen version), which is also a great novel, is my all time most... loved Western. Not my favorite, but the one I love the most. Every time I watch it makes me wonder what the USA (and the rest of the world) could have been if they had managed to get rid of their hate (of the natives, and of nature). I should also list the Newman/Redford 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'. But I feel bad for only listing so few as there are many more great Westerns and even a few truly amazing ones (there is also a lot of turds, I will admit it). This genre deserves a thread on its own as it so often overlooked or ignored because of its label. It's sad.
'Somewhere in Time'. next to Westerns, I'm a sucker for love stories. This one makes me cry every single time. I also like 'When Harry Met Sally', a lot.
A History of Violence. I expected not much of it but it happened to be a great movie. With an amazing casting.
The Birds (my favorite Hitchcock, so different from du Maurier's original short story which is also excellent, btw)
North by Northwest (another Hitchcock, another of my favorites)
Toy Story (the first 1, maybe the 2nd too), Ice Age (the 2 first ones)
'Singing in the Rain'. The movie I've watched the most, bar none?
'West Side Story'
'Scarface' (the one with Al Pacino).
Kick Ass (the first one) made a huge impression on me. And gave me hope that all was not lost with contemporary US cinema that has grown afraid even of its own shadow and has started self-censoring, hard.
A clockwork Orange.
Full Metal Jacket (there is a lot I like less in it but it still is a great film)
Barry Lyndon. God may have created light but Kubrick mastered it, in that movie.
There are so, so many more! Ozu is one of the directors I can endlessly watch and have a blast, I'm also a fan of Kurosawa. I have not even considered Italian (like, they were among the best) or the Russian cinema! Or even my own French movies: back in the days, French used to make a lot of great movies but that was before we too, like Hollywood, became so afraid of our own shadow that we started self-censoring... Sad times we're living in, bu that will pass.
A History of Violence was pretty underrated. Barry Lyndon bored the hell out of me, but the lighting was very impressive from a technical perspective (they actually used candles and a super low aperture lens for some scenes, no additional lighting).
Not the most fast paced movie that ever was, I will agree on that. Still, I first watched it as a teen (already into history) and was in awe. This was first time I could walk into painting of those long gone times ;)
In a similar way, Peter Greenaway, the English director did a few great movies too: The Draughtsman's Contract, 'The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover', Prospero's Books,...
The Lord of the Rings - watched these many times now, and a couple of those have been back to back marathons. And yes, extended editions every time.
The Little Mermaid - The original Disney animated version. Itās possibly my favourite of what is known as the renaissance era.
The Muppet Christmas Carol - I watch this every year on Christmas Eve. I think Iām up to about 15 or more years now. Itās without a doubt the best version of A Christmas Carol ever.
Top three off the top of my head. Iām sure thereās more but the wonāt match the number of times Iāve watched these.
Aside from the several good twists, what gets me about this story is thinking about the scale of time. If a normal person likely can't remember what meal they ate last year on this date, imagine that x1000 (and more). Such a great concept.
Akira is the first anime I've seen in this thread. I've seen it dozens of times myself; sticking to just anime I could add Ghost in the Shell, Perfect Blue, and Princess Mononoke.
Most of mine have already been mentioned, but the biggie that hasn't is: the Back to the Future trilogy.
Not only are there lots of little details you probably don't catch on the first viewing, I'm surprised they don't make more millennial-and-older users' lists just from them being often the best thing on TV, in the ancient times before streaming.
Inception I've seen like 6 times. Best one was at our restored theater with a great sound system. Sat up front by the middle sub under stage. The launch was awesome.
My son really liked that one, and he would watch it over and over. I can't even guess how many times I've watched it at this point. Although that number pales in comparison to Wall-e. Before he moved on to How To Train Your Dragon, he would watch WALL-E literally on repeat. I used to whisper little prayers of thanks to whatever caused his little brain to fixate on Wall-e rather than some of the other movies he could have fixated on.
Spirited Away - yearly re-watch (always accompanied by other Miyazaki movies)
Smiley Face - one of the few movies that make me smile, Anna Faris is the cutest thing ever
Alien - I watched it secretly as a kid while everybody was asleep at home, and watched it who knows how many times since. It didn't scare me, it kindled my love for sci-fi.
Thank you for calling out tremors!! The second is also great! Ass blasters is straight to dvd for a reason and should be ignored as with anything else past the first two.
District b13, the transporter, fast and the furious 1, 2, and Tokyo drift, nation Lampoon's Christmas vacation, the big Lebowski, 28 days later, resident evil, probably others.
I watched my VHS copy of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon so much in just 1 year, that the following year my parents got me a copy on DVD because the tape in the cassette was worn out and warped.
Le Maison en Petit Cubes (The House of Small Cubes)
Shaun of the Dead
Blade Runner
Cowboy Bepop: Knocking on Heavens Door
Neo Tokyo
The original non-Gameshopified Astartes series by Syama Pedersen, though technically like five episodes, I always watch all of them in one go. :3 The Emperor Protects :3
Redline (2009) probably the best animated movie of all time
I'm not sure if you mean that in the sense that "this is the best movie, which is animated, of all time" or "this movie has the best animation of all time", but in either case, Akira exists, so you can't possibly be correct.
Tremors, though, I can support you on without question.
I feel like its the best the media has achieved so far. The color representation, the purposeful distortion of the visuals, the visual design itself, all coming together in a batshit over the top nonsense story. It is the pure essence of a cartoon mixed with some truly passionate artistic expression.
Honestly I dont even care for the characters. Its a feast for my eyes.
There are other works with much better stories, way more technical visual design, and all kinds of other neat shit. Nothing beats Redline for me when it comes to any anime.
the three lotr, its a wonderful life, miracle on 34th street all versions, the orginal star wars trilogy, star trek one and two and four, ladyhawke, up, princess bride, close encounters of the third kind, alien, aliens, forbidden planet, raiders of the lost ark, rocky horror picture show, charlie brown specials, grinch who stole chrismass cartoons, frosty cartoons, the blues brothers, original dune movie, all the monty pythons I know of (grail, brian, yellowbeard, meaning of life), time bandits, spaceballs, terminator 1 and 2, yellow submarine, airplane1+2, top secret. Maybe it should be limited to post 2000. Thing is when you go back there are things broadcast every year or when they were broadcast you made it a point to catch it then in the age of video cassetes if you did not find anything you felt like that week for the weekend you maybe picked up something you liked or you had a friend who had not seen it or something. Not as much came out every year and in addition as more comes out the total pool is way larger. so it is harder to rewatch things. Like I think I have only watch the harry potters twice but drop them into the 90's and im sure they would have been a regular pickup or i would have owned them. That being said there are some older movies that are just classics to and there is a reason you went out of your way to catch it broadcast.
There was a time Iād watch V for Vendetta every November 5th, but thatās fallen off in recent years. Still a great movie; itās one of those few films I think is better than the source material. I have also probably seen Billy Madison 500 times. There are a ton more I could list but those are jumping out in my head
Most definitely Big Fish. Every time I swear I won't cry; every time I end up sobbing. With snot.
It just hits too close to home. I even had to trigger-warn my 55-year-old dad, to whose home it hits even closer.
The Martian is my favorite book and the movie was surprisingly close! Very well made.
Do you have recommendations for a fellow fan? I haven't seen the middle two you mentioned, are either of them similar in style? Like in the nerdy, clever ideas, positive vibes, collaboration, and plausible physics type of way
Fifth Element
Serenity (Firefly)
Goonies
Dune
Cabin in the Woods
Megamind
Tropical Thunder
Super Troopers
Transformers the Movie (1986)
A Christmas Story
Thereās plenty of movies that I like to rewatch, and most have been mentioned here already.
But the first movie I remember rewatching over and over again when I was little, was Labyrinth.
Funny enough I havenāt seen it in more than thirty years. Itās mostly nostalgia vibes by now, but I remember being in love with that movie back then.
I'm old, so tons of them... mainly SF, fantasy, etc. all the LOTR (extended), Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, BTTF, etc. Dances With Wolves (the extended version)
a good trilogy too: Once upon a time in the West, Duck, You Sucker!, Once upon a time in America.
Seriously tons of movies from 2000 and less. Also dozens and dozens of French movies (native language) I have watched multiple times.
I never watched a MCU movie for instance. Since LOTR trilogy I basically stopped watching new movies, nothing beats them.
I basically never rewatch movies. The only exception is Lord of the Rings basically. I think Sinners and Megalopolis will join it, but I haven't rewatched them yet
Return to Oz (Mostly, I commented to say this, because no one else has yet.)
Most of James Bond
Along with many of the others already mentioned, but I'd be remiss if I didn't include Miracle on 34th Street (1947), probably all of the Charlie Brown Specials, A Christmas Story, Frosty the Snowman, The Grinch who Stole Christmas, and probably several others, just because as a kid we watched them every holiday. I'm sure there's more on this list, but I'm old.
I've also watched the first season of Altered Carbon at least three times, and Rick and Morty, Archer, and others.
My cousin Vinny I watch it once a year because it is a masterpiece.
Terminator 2. Judgment Day is my favorite movie of all time. I watch it pretty consistently. Sometimes I'll leave it on playing in the background when I'm doing stuff on the computer.
Monty Python's Holy Grail, Life of Brian and Meaning of life (in that order of rewaches). Although I haven't seen them in years, now that I live somewhere where weed is legal I should do that (never seen them stoned)
Primer, which if it's not on your list here you either haven't seen it or haven't understood it
The Mummy and Harry Potter (especially the first couple). They're one of my wife's comfort movies so we watch them every once in a while if she's feeling down
LotR, although it's more of an event to rewatch them.
Stargate, every few years we rewatch the TV show when we have nothing else to watch, we do that with some other TV shows as well as it's good background noise to just relax. And since it starts and ends with movies we've watched those several times.
Pink Floyd's The Wall and Daft Punk's Interstella 5555 are awesome music albums so I have watched those several times
Hair, similarly love the musics
And although I haven't seen them too many times (but at least twice) Memento is a great movie if you haven't seen it. Also I haven't seen it multiple times but The Strangers is a great horror movie.
Muppet Treasure Island
A Muppet Christmas Carol
The Princess Bride
The Great Mouse Detective (the most faithful movie adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, fight me)
Inception
Ghost in the Shell
The Little Mermaid, but not by choice. It was my little sister's favorite movie and she would genuinely watch the VHS tape of it, rewind it, and then watch it again immediately. My brothers and I once entertained ourselves on a family road trip by quoting the whole movie, word for word.
Currently? I don't think I remember movies well enough for it to be considered a rewatch. But I've definitely rewatch Peter Jackson's lotr more times than reasonable.
Dogma, Lawrence of Arabia, Philadelphia Story, Hudson Hawk, The Martian, Edge of Tomorrow, Kung Fu Hustle, Delicatessen, Apocalypse Now, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, LOTR, Star Wars (original 3), The Thin Man series.
Also Dr. Strangelove and all the Monty Python, Princess Bride, 5th Element
Starship Troopers, Die Hard 1 & 2, Alien & Aliens Mad Max, Road Warrior, Thunderdome, Meet the Parents, Little Miss Sunshine, Wedding Crashers, Step Brothers, Office Space, LoTR Trilogy, OG Star Wars trilogy, Any if the Star Trek films, 2001
So many. i will just list one that i bet most people have not heard of:
the Vourdalak
itās in french. it is one of the best horror movies i have seen in a while. maybe the best vampire movie since let the right one in. in canada, it is 99c to rent it on the apple store right now
The first Transporter movie just for the pure nostalgia. If Iām flicking through channels on tv and itās playing, I will sit there and watch it even with commercials running.
Very very few. I don't usually rewatch anything.
The few that stand out are: The Usual Suspects, Star Wars series (first 6), Die Hard (first 2), some others maybe.
I don't think I ever rewatched a series though. No patience for that.
For some reason as a teenager I watched Fantastic Mr Fox about 17 times over several years. It is a good movie, but I can't say I recommend anyone else watch it that much. Once is enough.
It's a war movie with an all male cast, and the manliest moment in it is when the Doctor who is doing surgery on himself to remove a bullet from his chest, looks at the captain who is assisting and asks "Are you alright?" And the marine that accidentally shot him is anxiously waiting outside the tent to make sure he's okay. GAH I'm going to the store and buying some beer and some popcorn and I'm watching a movie tonight.
Holy shit, so so many. But I'll mention some favorites that I don't think everyone has seen.
Top Secret, The Pentagon wars, Down Periscope, Men in Tights, CHIPS.
I think they're all quite funny. But if I had to suggest just one, CHIPS will probably be a solid choice for most peoole. It's modern and really funny. (18+)
I don't think I've ever watched a movie more than 3 times... Maybe Howl's Moving Castle. Possibly A Chinese Ghost Story: The Tsui Hark Animation, as well.
Tron: Legacy (that's 2010)
This is probably more driven by limited selection in the cable days than free choice, but I do enjoy these. Not everything has to be a masterpiece to be enjoyable
Demolition Man
Probably most Star Wars between 1-6
Probably Fast and Furious 1, 2, 3.
Jurassic Park 1 and 3 (I swear 2 never aired on cable)
Spider Man, Toby maguire, 1 and 2
Probably half the Pirates of the Caribbean
Batman Begins, maybe The Dark Knight
Men In Black, definitely
Shrek
Elf
Honorable mention due to irony: I accidentally watched Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind a second time, forgetting I watched it already.
Donnie Darko ; I'm a little more partial to the directors cut
Kill Bill Volume 1 & 2 ; watched pretty much all Tarentino stuff several times, but this one the most. Inglorious Bastards comes pretty close.
Gone Girl ; I love David Fincher. Only a coincidence that I've happened to have watched this one the most.
The Big Labowski ;
Shrek 1 & 2 ; watched an inconceivable amount of times. Rewatched Shrek 1 in Spanish and was blown away how hilarious it was. Turns out the script was readapted by Mexican comedians instead just a translation, and was the closest of a chance I've ever had to watch a movie again for the first time
I struggled to recall a movie I watched three times, I very rarely rewatch movies. Then I remembered, Wicked! I watched it once when it came out, then again when it released in better quality to piracy sites, then once again with my cousins :3
I'm not a movie person at all, but for some reason Everything Everywhere All At Once, and The Truman Show, both hold a very special place in my heart and I have seen them countless times each.
That and the Steven Universe movie, but I'm guessing that's not a very good first watch lol
@xpey@zoye I kind of enjoyed the first watch of Everythin Everywhere All At Once, but didnt had the call to watch it again... Truman Show in other hand is a piece of art
DrƶmkƄken, starring the Swedish actor legend Bjƶrn Skifs (also known from the Ouga-shaka song "Hooked on a feeling"). Truly a masterpiece in every aspect; acting, direction, editing, special effects, soundtrack. Pure gold.
12 monkeys is the movie Iāve seen most, though, coming in at multiple dozens of watches over the years. Itās easily my favorite. It kicked off a new way of thinking for me when I was an impressionable young teen, and has largely held up in terms of watchability.
The tv show based on it couldnāt have done a worse job of holding my attention, though. So that was disappointing.
One that gets almost no love anywhere is "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."
I get that Brangelina was already played out before the movie even opened, but it's well worth a look. Enough comedy, action, and romance for three separate movies.
Most of the big names in scifi/fantasy/action/comedy, so hereās the less common personal favs:
Lake Placid, Hellraiser III, Beastmaster 1 & 2, Heavy Metal, Heavy Metal 2000, Ralph Bakshiās Wizards, SLC Punk, Disneyās Robin Hood, Dead Alive, Night of the Lepus, MST3K the Movie, Aquateen Hunger Force Movie Film for Theaters, The Ewok Adventures
All of my friends and family rewatch movies. Acquaintances from work will recommend movies they move to rewatch. It is really common in my experience, although I do have one friend who barely watches movies and if he does it is only once.
I have ADHD and miss details, a lot of details. If I enjoy a movie then it is likely that I will rewatch it if I am not particularly focused to keep up with a new movie, and I tend to find lots of little things I missed or notice things in the background.
Too lazy to keep scrolling but I havenāt yet seen mentions of Lilo & Stitch (the best movie Disney ever made) and Dark City (the directorās cut and if you havenāt seen it donāt spoil it, just watch it).
ā¦and now Iām seeing a bit of a tone difference between them
The big short
Wake up dead man
Knives out
Glass onion 2x, but close enough
Lot's of Disney movies like cars, monsters inc, etc.
Inside man
War dogs
Definitely others
Harem
Once upon a time in the west
Dirty Harry - different titles
Hell. ( I called it that. But it was something like 'tale off a village called lago )
Princes Valerski
The warriors
Last off the mohicans
Star Trek - different numbers
Parfum ( not about the killer )
Police academy - different numbers
Con air
Harry Potters
Seven
Constantine
Village people
Most movies i like i wach more than once. Same with books reading.
A long long long ... time ago
Jem
Disney ( cinderella, belle and the beast, snow white,... The origenals so to say)
If you understand what i say ( translation? )
The land befor time
Old yellor
The list of these films is short. To be exact, its probably only "Blow" (I think its from the year 2000). Its the story of one of the biggest cocaine smugglers in the US (his name was George Young). I can definitely recommend it.

I second most of these, especially The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
I would add most Kubrick films including Dr. Strangelove and 2001.
Also, Being John Malkovich, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Dawn of the Dead remake 2004
The most recent film I can't stop watching is Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Theives.

I revisit Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind every few years when I wanna get my guts all twisted into knots.
I think when Kaufman is left on his own he's too much of a bummer and Gondry on his own is just too far out. But somehow they come together in a perfect balance with Jim Carey in perhaps his best serious role, IMHO. The soundtrack really takes it the extra mile.
I appreciate it because Joel and Clementine come off as just two kinda fucked up people having a kinda fucked up relationship; very relatable. Neither is perfect or completely at fault and the film very much leaves it up to your interpretation if they can or should work together. I don't think it has a happy ending, do you? Compare that to something like 500 Days of Summer where you're really supposed to sympathize with Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character but mostly I end up wanting to push him into the mud. Hard.
The subplot between the doctor and his secretary is maybe a little unnecessary? But Kirsten Dunst is amazing so whatever.
I wish I had stayed.

A ton, but the one I'm most inclined to talk about is The Thing (1982). We rewatch it almost weekly since I introduced my spouse to it which is amazing because each time we spend about an hour afterwards dissecting the things motives, the order of replacements, different theories, etc. It's truely one of the best movies ever made. The practical effects get a ton of praise, but for me it's just gotta efficiently the movie is at what it does. You know every character within minutes of their appearance, you feel the alienation and paranoia, and the thing itself is so inexplicable that even after hundreds of watches in my life time I genuinely can't rationalize why it does what it does.
The 2011 one would have been better if they left in the pilot alien and had better set and custome guys. It doesn't feel like a pequal, it feels like a remake set in 2011.

So, when they were preparing for the first movie, the monolith was supposed to be a shiny diamond. Nothing the effects people could come up with looked right, so in the story boards they replaced the diamond with a black box. Then someone said that the black box looked cool, so they went with the monolith.
For years, fans speculated about what the monolith meant. Clarke and Kubrick kept mum. Finally, Clarke was at an event and some kid said he had the anwer.
The ratio of the monolith was 1 : 4 : 9, the squares of the first three numbers.
Clarke liked it so much he put it in the sequel.
And yes, that actor is very underrated.
Sergio@piefed.social · 2 pts · 165d
I think 2010 is underrated bc to really get into that movie you had to: 1) have watched 2001, 2) have liked 2001, 3) be open to a sequel that was very different in tone.
I also really liked the way that scientist was having a dialogue with his computer back on Earth. AI seemed so open, so full of possibility, not so limited and corporate like it turned out to be.
DagwoodIII@piefed.social · 2 pts · 165d
I'd say that the difference in tone is the biggest hurdle.
If you get a chance, watch 'The French Connection II.' It was also poorly received. The best part is Gene Hackman's performance. I won't give away any spoilers, but it's more about his struggles than solving a crime.

How do you manage to watch the OG star wars more than twice? I saw New Hope in the theatre. I saw the next one in the theatre and almost walked out. I saw the third one and thought OK I can deal with this, but not great.
Then I re-watched a New Hope again and realized, this is a boring movie.

No, I was serious. What do you find interesting enough to watch more than three times? New Hope was entertaining when I was 8, I must have seen that movie in the theater at least 10 times.
But as time went by I came to realize its pretty shallow, acting isn't so great and the wow effects of 1977 aren't much compared to the last 20 years. I actually get disappointed that I can't enjoy re-watching it as much as so many other movies. Maybe I saw it too much.
I will change the question: Which version do you prefer? I can say I like the original as released best, all the changes later just don't feel right to me.

There are so, so many more! Ozu is one of the directors I can endlessly watch and have a blast, I'm also a fan of Kurosawa. I have not even considered Italian (like, they were among the best) or the Russian cinema! Or even my own French movies: back in the days, French used to make a lot of great movies but that was before we too, like Hollywood, became so afraid of our own shadow that we started self-censoring... Sad times we're living in, bu that will pass.

Tremors 1, 2 or 3. Don't bother with 4+ its all straight to DVD nonsense.
Redline (2009) probably the best animated movie of all time (studio ghibli people i will fite u)
Idiocracy is very funny in a not very funny kind of way
Elemental was a fantastic Pixar IP that looks like its going to get some fascinating world building in a sequel
redhorsejacket@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 164d
I'm not sure if you mean that in the sense that "this is the best movie, which is animated, of all time" or "this movie has the best animation of all time", but in either case, Akira exists, so you can't possibly be correct.
Tremors, though, I can support you on without question.
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 164d
I feel like its the best the media has achieved so far. The color representation, the purposeful distortion of the visuals, the visual design itself, all coming together in a batshit over the top nonsense story. It is the pure essence of a cartoon mixed with some truly passionate artistic expression.
Honestly I dont even care for the characters. Its a feast for my eyes.
There are other works with much better stories, way more technical visual design, and all kinds of other neat shit. Nothing beats Redline for me when it comes to any anime.
P.S. Funky boy did nothing wrong.

the three lotr, its a wonderful life, miracle on 34th street all versions, the orginal star wars trilogy, star trek one and two and four, ladyhawke, up, princess bride, close encounters of the third kind, alien, aliens, forbidden planet, raiders of the lost ark, rocky horror picture show, charlie brown specials, grinch who stole chrismass cartoons, frosty cartoons, the blues brothers, original dune movie, all the monty pythons I know of (grail, brian, yellowbeard, meaning of life), time bandits, spaceballs, terminator 1 and 2, yellow submarine, airplane1+2, top secret. Maybe it should be limited to post 2000. Thing is when you go back there are things broadcast every year or when they were broadcast you made it a point to catch it then in the age of video cassetes if you did not find anything you felt like that week for the weekend you maybe picked up something you liked or you had a friend who had not seen it or something. Not as much came out every year and in addition as more comes out the total pool is way larger. so it is harder to rewatch things. Like I think I have only watch the harry potters twice but drop them into the 90's and im sure they would have been a regular pickup or i would have owned them. That being said there are some older movies that are just classics to and there is a reason you went out of your way to catch it broadcast.

The Martian is my favorite book and the movie was surprisingly close! Very well made.
Do you have recommendations for a fellow fan? I haven't seen the middle two you mentioned, are either of them similar in style? Like in the nerdy, clever ideas, positive vibes, collaboration, and plausible physics type of way
W3dd1e@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 162d
I suspect itās a rare movie that can hit all of those themes.
Primer is close, but it doesnāt have positive vibes. Itās quite dramatic and a bit dark.
Moon is another that might be close. Itās not so plausible, it I think youāll get similar vibes to The Martian.
Last, you might try Mickey 17. Itās a recent film. Itās not realistic, but the vibes are somewhat similar also.

a good trilogy too: Once upon a time in the West, Duck, You Sucker!, Once upon a time in America.
Seriously tons of movies from 2000 and less. Also dozens and dozens of French movies (native language) I have watched multiple times.
I never watched a MCU movie for instance. Since LOTR trilogy I basically stopped watching new movies, nothing beats them.

Master And Commander: The Far Side of the Earth.
It's a war movie with an all male cast, and the manliest moment in it is when the Doctor who is doing surgery on himself to remove a bullet from his chest, looks at the captain who is assisting and asks "Are you alright?" And the marine that accidentally shot him is anxiously waiting outside the tent to make sure he's okay.

A few off the top of my head:
Donnie Darko ; I'm a little more partial to the directors cut
Kill Bill Volume 1 & 2 ; watched pretty much all Tarentino stuff several times, but this one the most. Inglorious Bastards comes pretty close.
Gone Girl ; I love David Fincher. Only a coincidence that I've happened to have watched this one the most.
The Big Labowski ;
Shrek 1 & 2 ; watched an inconceivable amount of times. Rewatched Shrek 1 in Spanish and was blown away how hilarious it was. Turns out the script was readapted by Mexican comedians instead just a translation, and was the closest of a chance I've ever had to watch a movie again for the first time

12 monkeys is the movie Iāve seen most, though, coming in at multiple dozens of watches over the years. Itās easily my favorite. It kicked off a new way of thinking for me when I was an impressionable young teen, and has largely held up in terms of watchability.
The tv show based on it couldnāt have done a worse job of holding my attention, though. So that was disappointing.

I don't tend to rewatch films even if I liked them, but music and classic comedy keeps bringing me back.
I've also seen some films multiple times due to having kids, but I can only think of Toy Story now.

All of my friends and family rewatch movies. Acquaintances from work will recommend movies they move to rewatch. It is really common in my experience, although I do have one friend who barely watches movies and if he does it is only once.
I have ADHD and miss details, a lot of details. If I enjoy a movie then it is likely that I will rewatch it if I am not particularly focused to keep up with a new movie, and I tend to find lots of little things I missed or notice things in the background.

Too lazy to keep scrolling but I havenāt yet seen mentions of Lilo & Stitch (the best movie Disney ever made) and Dark City (the directorās cut and if you havenāt seen it donāt spoil it, just watch it).
ā¦and now Iām seeing a bit of a tone difference between them

One I saw 8 times when it came out is E.T. Hadn't seen it mentioned yet.
More recently I loved coming back to Lost in Translation.

The list of these films is short. To be exact, its probably only "Blow" (I think its from the year 2000). Its the story of one of the biggest cocaine smugglers in the US (his name was George Young). I can definitely recommend it.
