Foodfight!

If I had to pick the two movies furthest away from each other in every way imaginable, it would be these two movies. You have broad tastes haha 😂
-
-
For me is the Back to the Future trilogy but I usually watch just the first one..every year
-
Same! I usually watch the first one once a year, but I try to get the fully trilogy in.

I could watch the first three Captain America movies back-to-back-to-back at the drop of a hat. Not gonna include the fourth one.
-
Bottle Rocket (1996)
Early Wes Anderson movie has such a good vibe and always seems just what I needed when I put it on…
-
2001 Space Odysee

I love watching the Barbie Movies (the early 2000s CGI ones), especially when I'm sick.
-
extra upvote for Paprika

Down Periscope

Yes! I was hoping to see this one mentioned.

The Thing (1982)
It’s my favorite movie of all time and I watch it every October.
-
I watched this for the umpteenth time just last night! Always a good one.
-
Looks like i just found my people.

Alien
Aliens
Too bad they didn't make any more of them.
-
Yup really glad they never Resurrected the franchise
-
Romulus is better than it has any right to be. The Alien 3 “Assembly Cut” is also decent. Not good, but not awful.
-
Best movies ever? Maybe. Maybe.

The Big Lebowski. Simultaneously ridiculous and incredibly sophisticated. People who think its "just" a stoner comedy may have some more viewings to go 🙂
-
I never realized it was considered a stoner comedy! It's quite a bit better than one I've seen in that category!
-
It gets the stoner comedy reputation as the dude is stoned throughout. He's a character in the movie though, not then full tone. That's probably why it's so good. It blends so many genres with an interesting interweaving plot and wonderful dialogue.
It's a deserved reputation as it's great to watch stoned. Especially when the dude is confused and so are you. Or the psychedelic sequences. However it's also not deserved as it's so much cleverer than that with differen levels. A stoner comedy doesn't normally have a coherent plot and levels.
-
-
Don't be fatuous.
-
Especially when you dive into the fan made theories, like Donny is a figment of Walters imagination, Walter killed his ex-wife and her husband, the dude is the big Lebowski's illegitimate son.
-
That's going off the deep end for me. I prefer the interpretation that its a video essay on masculinity. "What makes a man a man?" is the central tenet of that movie, and personally, knowing that was a really crystallizing moment that made all the bullshit fall aside. I read a beautifully succinct essay about this somewhere and will look for the link.
-
I don’t think the Dude could be his illegitimate son since that’s part of the reason Maude referred him to that doctor. He wouldn’t have been very “thorough” if he missed that they were related.

The Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum.

Moooulllttteeee Paaassssssss

wow the 5th element for me too. Always thought I was weird but his movie is great
also tropic thunder lol

Office Space
-
I could set the building on fire....
-
It's wild how relatable it still is nearly 30 years later.
-
PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean?
-
-
Hackers. Yes, it's corny - cheesy, even - but it had a great cast with awesome chemistry, and it did a great job at capturing the zeitgeist of hacker/punk culture. Plus so many memorable quotes...

The good old Blues Brothers boys.

There’s something about that close-to-home dystopian outlook that calms me. Now go away, I’m batin’!

Its a little darker but have you seen god bless america?

I have not, but I’ll check it out some time. The trailer makes me think of NBK.

Super cliche answer but:
The Shawshank Redemption
-
Groundhog Day
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Megamind
Pirates of the Caribbean (2003)
The Princess Bride
-
The thing about Groundhog Day is that you only have to watch it once to have seen it several times.
-
I live that movie every damn day
-
-
Wish they'd make a new release for the 4k version of Pirates. From what I've heard the one out now is pretty bad in terms of color grading and detail.

Big Trouble In Little China.
Marathon Man [Dustin Hoffman, Lawrence Olivier] seems to have been designed for multiple viewings. A character seen briefly in one scene turns up later in the movie. A quick telephone call becomes incredibly important but you have to be paying close attention to every minute.
-
Liar, liar.
Nearly every single line in that movie that Jim Carrey delivers is not only funny but his delivery and antics are a work of art. It's like watching Messi dribble the soccer ball. Cary ewles gets an honorary mention for playing the straightman and absolutely killing it.

What’s wrong with me?!
I’m getting what I deserve I’m reaping what I sow—

I'm so glad my gift could bring them closer together. My plan to phase myself out is nearly complete.

Life of Brian

Lord of the Rings
Die Hard

Clue.
Sometimes my friends and I just sit around quoting it until we've made it through the entire movie, so maybe there's no point in rewatching it, but we do anyway.
-
It... it... flames. Flames, FLAMES, on the side of my face!
-
-
For me it's The Matrix.
I never like to retread old ground, but this one's an exception. It's hard to overstate how much it blew our minds 26 years ago. I might have a soft spot for it too because I was raised sheltered and it was the first rated R movie I saw.
-
I know they say it has nothing to do with them and their transitioning... but nothing can change my mind on how the whole movie can be seen as a struggle to choose who you really are...
-
I saw The Matrix a few times in theaters and watched it regularly when the dvd came out.

Rear windows is such a fantastic film. It surprised me how well it holds up.
-
I love when you see the killer's realization he's being watched by Jimmy Stewart when Grace Kelly flashes him the ring through the window. I get goosebumps just thinking about it!

Evolution.
It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they're making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they're working on. I mean, who doesn't love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.
It's fun, it's ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.
Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans. ::: spoiler spoiler (it's the butthole, they attacked a giant alien anus with soap to save the day) :::

When I'm sad or depressed, I rewatch Inside out (1 or 2) and it puts me in a content and indifferent headspace.
-
No way you could pay me to go near Inside Out 1 when I'm sad. I cant even re-watch that at my best without having a breakdown. That is brave.
-
Well, way better then No Child of Mine(1997). As I'm a victim of child abuse (although not sexual), it really screwed with me. But if you're in a decent mood, I would recommend it.

It sucks that people take the movie the wrong way and think it glorifies male toxicity. Now there’s nazi fight clubs happening all around the world.

I like to shut my brain off and have simple entertainment that doesn’t require much thinking during watching watch time.
My favourite movie of all time is Enemy 2013 and Black Swan but these are movies that go under your skin and everytime I watch them I have to go into spirals of overthinking etc while the above mentioned movies don’t give me that.

THE Suicide squad. It was so good that Tim Gunn earned the right to be boss of the DCU, and has proved it again and again.

Moneyball - very good choice. I'd like to add "The Big Short" as well.

Both based on books by the same dude! Something I didn't realize for quite some. I need to go read his shit.

As an oldster, I notice that almost all of the movies listed here are more than 20 years old. Most of the cultural references on Lemmy are much more recent than that.

A Silent Voice/Koe no Natachi
I'm currently learning Japanese, and this has been my go-to to rewatch without subtitles, picking up a little more each time I revisit it.
-
I must have seen Old School at least twenty times.
It was pretty much the perfect movie before streaming services existed and you were too lazy to go to the video store or P2P-download another movie because you'd rather hang out on your friends' couch and smoke weed all day.

Yeah, my parents watched a lot of old shows while I was growing up so it kind of shaped my likes.

-
Most Villenueve movies are very rewatchable for me. Sicario, BR2049, Arrival, and the Dune films. Others like Incendies, Enemy, and Prisoners not as much, not because they are bad, but because they are pretty heavy to be watched repeatedly.
