What Movies Draw You In Again & Again...

[dfergie]

Jumanji and Crimson Tide... pretty much any Robin Williams and Denzel Washington move... Same gos for Jerry Bruckheimer movies...

Very few movies that I have seen more than twice - because I am always more curious to see something else that I have not seen.

For example, there are at least 2 dozen movies in these posts that I have not seen at all.

Interesting that there are no 30's movies in this list, because those are probably the ones I have seen most often:

- Wizard of Oz (only one mentioned above)
- It's A Wonderful Life (totally surprised at this not mentioned above)
- Philadelphia Story (admittedly more obscure than the other two)

outside of those, would be the first two Star Wars movies.

PS I just can't bring myself to watch Miami Vice The Movie in preference to Miami Vice The Classic TV Series.

 

[dfergie]

Agreed on Miami Vice... for some reason, I have avoided...

 

[wkomorow]

Most of the John Candy comedies - Summer Rental, The Great Outdoors, Uncle Buck.

The only link between the series and the movie is the title and the character's names. It is a good action movie IMO.

I like that movie, too. I recorded it once on Starz, but it was 4:3.

S~

 

[dfergie]

It has been on HBO in HD but it has been several years...(programmers, hint, hint )

 

[webbydude]

Late to the party...as usual.

Most of the ones I could think of have been mentioned, but two that immediately came to mind....

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior

...something about those chase scenes and a feral boy with a razor sharp boomerang just makes it soooooooo damn compelling to watch over...and over...and over again.

Army of Darkness

"...this is my BOOMSTICK!!" 'nuff said
