Your go-to movies

[No Quarter]

Just turned on Foxtel to find a favourite of mine that I didn’t mention, Click

 

[HirdyLannister]

I forgot Super Troopers, guaranteed for a laugh

Beerfest for me too.

 

[GROTTO]

Ahhh… I’d say something like requiem for a dream is like a top 20 film all time but I’ve watched it twice and likely never will again.

Rewatchability is part of a favourite film for me but it’s not really a measure of whether I think a film is good or not.

Requiem is a very "heavy" movie, I enjoyed it but its very depressing, especially the second time like yourself, again most likely never.

Well maybe not for years at least.

 

[GROTTO]

Alien series
Terminator series (except the last one, only seen it at the cinema)
MI series
XMen series
TDK trilogy

A lot of other great movies mentioned by posters in here that I invariably watch over and over again over the years.

 

[CURVE]

For mindless fun that doesn't require any brain power, and I can close my eyes without missing anything:
Cannonball Run
The Replacements
Major League
Broken Arrow
Speed

If I want a little more stimulation, then I go to one of these:
The Fifth Element
How To Steal A Million
The Pink Panther (1963 original)
Fletch
Stripes
Rear Window
Die Hard

I have a whole swag of movies that are my "go-to's", movies I can (and previously) have watched more than once a year. If they are THAT good I can watch and re-watch and re-watch the re-watch 3-4-5+ times. Granted in more recent years I will watch a film maximum 2 times a year (and this
includes a lot of my favourites like Robocop, Terminator, Lethal Weapon etc).

Comedies
The Naked Gun Trilogy
Austin Powers (at least the first 2, the third I can take or leave)
Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Action
First Blood - Rambo II - Rambo III - Rambo IV
Die Hard 1 - 3
Lethal Weapon 1 - 4
Terminator 1 & 2
Robocop

Thinking / Emotional style movies
Forrest Gump
Saving Private Ryan (technically action as well)
The Prestige

Superman I & II are must watch 2-3 + times a year
I don't watch a lot of the superhero movies yearly as much as I used to.... I still haven't done a Marvel movie sit-through as yet this year. Haven't even watched the Nolan Batman trilogy in full in 2023.


There are movies I can just sit through and marathon, they include Back to the Future (trilogy)

Plenty more

 

[Sub_Zero]

Dumb and Dumber
Independence Day
Billy Madison
Ghostbusters 1 and 2
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
The Matrix
The Matrix Reloaded
Terminator 2: Judgement Day

 

[CakeEater]

True Lies
Man on Fire

 

[AFDogs]

21 and 22 Jump Street for a cheer up vibe. MCU movies get a rewatch quite often.

I generally take 3-4 years to rewatch a movie so there's probably not a movie I watch every year.

Bull Durham
The Natural

Watching The Lost Boys again for the first time in a while (just got the 4K disc) I actually think this is one I will keep going back to in future. Kiefer Sutherland is such an amazing and underrated Vampire and the soundtrack to this movie absolutely rocks.

Would have been such a great movie to take your date with back in the day : )

The Hostel movies ? Interesting . 2 is the best out of the lot, but definitely not one I would watch if I am feeling down or need a pick me up lol

 

[evolved2]

Saw the latest Indiana Jones movie and I'd give it a 3/10. I didn't fall asleep, but there were few redeeming features. Wait for the Disney+ release.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Rewatched The Bourne Identity for about the 10th time. ****ing love it.

Rewatched The Bourne Identity for about the 10th time. ******* love it.

The Bourne "trilogy" generally gets watched yearly...... haven't watched them all this year (basically just Identity on its own). Neeed to whip them out and watch them all. And it's a series I've upgraded time after time (dvd, bluray, 4K.... and I also got a streaming version via Apple TV).

The Bourne Supremacy had a good plot but was ruined by the shaky-cam. Bourne Ultimatum scaled that back a little while still retaining mad action sequences.
