Which films do you rewatch?

[gully_foyle]

Why isn't BladeRunner on anyones list?

I actually got out Casablanca for tonight's movie. Sometimes you get tired of the modern epics and want to go back to the classic film noir.

But my normal list would include;
BladeRunner
Alien
Star Wars IV, V & VI
GalaxyQuest
Fifth Element
and lots of others I can't think of right now.

These are the good ones I rewatch:

Hackers
Ghost in the shell
phonebooth
Lord of the rings (all3)
going to america (okay anything with Eddie Murphy)

Then the bad ones:

Lost in space
The mummy
Alien vs predator
Eurotrip

Actually I have seen lots of movies two or three times...

How could I forget the Princess Bride!
And Flight of the Navigator is still awesome

[Happy Joe]

Rewatchability is a prime concern when I purchase a movie.
Rather than trying to figure out which ones I watch most often, here is a list of those currently waiting to be refiled;
King Arther
The Medallion
Narnia
Apocalypto
Night at the Museum
Doom
Prisoner of Askaban
Smokin Aces
Unleashed
Princess Bride
Sahara (w/ H. Bogart)
Attack of the Clones
XXX
Underworld
Underworld evolution
Willow

Friends regularly stop by for popcorn and a movie. So my rewatch interval is a little more random than most. I have found that about 1/4 of my library gets watched rarely and the rest get cycled through irregularly. New movies usually get watched a couple of times then go through a period of hibernation.
Enjoy!

Cause Bladerunner is prolly the most overrated movie ever.......


Specially after having read the book which they raped the story to make a good visual movie with so called "deep" story (for hollywood SF anyway)....

[Joel007]

I'd go with the book over the film. Bladerunner may have been groundbreaking in many ways, but I don't watch it frequently.
I also rewatch Underworld for the comedic value

[Connavar]

Ah its good to see there is someone that thinks the movie isnt all that,specially when there are many people here that think its holy.....

Even though i like most Harrison Ford movies and i have never wanted to rewatch Bladerunner.

I have seen all his other films x20 each except his new crappy ones

I watch LotR (all three) over and over again, same with the origanal saga of SW. Princess Bride, how could someone not watch that over and over again...Back to the Future (all) I have seen a few times (mainly on TV) but I would watch the first two a couple of times. Dead Poets Society, Good Morning Vietnam I watch over and over same with Good Will Hunting. (There seems to be a lot of Robin Williams films on that list of mine)

[2nddan]

Most of the ones I will re-watch have already been mentioned; Jurassic Park, all the Spiderman and X-Men fliks, Waterworld and The Postman, Independence Day, any and all the Star Trek films.
A couple that probably won't get much mention at this forum are Unfaithful and A Walk On The Moon, both with the lovely and talented Diane Lane. I have them on DVD and VHS, yet I will still watch the censored versions when they show up on TNT, TBS or my local FOX affiliate.

[Majimaune]

I forgot about all the kids movies I love to watch like Finding Nemo and all that. Add them to my list.

Wow. Blade Runner over-rated and yet you watch The Matrix over and over again?

I agree that the book is brilliant, but I believe Ridley Scott's Blade Runner stands as a work of art in its own right. I think Conn that you and I belong to different genres. Alas, what CGI has done to the young movie goers.

Someone after my own heart. I haven't been impressed by special effects more than 3 or 4 times in my entire life. The movie got to have more substance than CGI. Bladerunner was moody, dismal, and scary. It shied away from the cheery, Gene Roddenberry world of the the future where humanity has solved all it's problems and is out exploring just for the Hell of is. It portrays a bleak world that might possibly come true. Granted it's much different that the book but that doesn't make it less of a classic. Rarely do movies capture the essense of the book. The best ones are inspired by the written work.
