Which films do you watch over and over again?

[Buttercup80]

Stir Crazy - perhaps the best film ever made

Ghostbusters - had that on again at the weekend

Dodgeball / Wedding Crashers / Happy Gilmore

 

all good for when you want light comedy and not to think too hard.

[Beakerzoid]

Agreed on Robocop, only the first one though, Robocop 2 and 3 sucked majorly IMO, especially 3 as it was made "kid proof" to get a lower age rating.

 

Whatever happened to the Robocop TV series?

 

 

I don't mind Robocop 2 so much. The level of ultra-violence was still right, and just enough of comic book legend Frank Miller's writing can be seen in it (he released a comic series a few years back which retold the events how he originally penned them before the other writer came in to 'tweak it' for the studio)

 

Robocop 3 was terrible - but the computer game of it on the Atari ST was pretty decent.

 

There were 2 TV series'. The first spun straight off the kiddy friendly 3rd film and was dross. The second mini-series (Prime Directives) tried to get it all back to the tone of the first 2 films (and even lifted a couple of stories from the comic book series), but the actor playing Robo was terrible....no match for Weller. Verhoven hinted that he would like to go back and make another Robocop film one day, but don't hold your breath on that.

Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, Edward Scissorhands, La Dolce Vita, The Dreamers, 2001 a Space Odyssey... any Hitchcock film.

 

When I was a kid, I watched the Disney Robin Hood every single day for about a month.

Am I really sad for saying Father of the Bride Pt 2, Sister Act 1+2, Bridget Jones.

 

I also love sitting with red wine watching the 6 hr Pride and Prejudice with grrrrr Colin Firth

[lubylou]

My faves to watch over are, Grease, Wizzard of Oz, Final destination trilogy and Wild Hogs. Wild hogs is a fantastic film, so funny.

[NEKRO138]

Smokie and the Bandit, Jackass the Movie, Bladerunner, Sleepy Hollow, Beetlejuice, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill 1 and 2, Candyman, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Last Man Standing (I know it's a largely slated remake of a remake, but I love it!), Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Apocolypse Now, Jackie Brown, Terminator 1 and 2, Jaws, The Orphanage, Pan's Labryinth, Hellboy, Batman Begins, Billy Madison, Evil Dead 2, Bubba Ho Tep, On The Buses, I think I'll stop now.

[Rich]

Definitely the On the Buses trilogy, they don't make British comedies like that any more (probably for good reasons, the PC Brigade wasn't as prominent in the 70s)

[Beakerzoid]

My faves to watch over are, Grease..

 

Keep a look out in September then. We are doing a one-day special of Grease in digital at Cineworld. More details as we get them.

I totally agree he was gorgeous

 

My fav when I am feeling down is Dr Doolittle with Eddie Murphy - what more can you ask for in a film than a talking guinea pig:hihi:
