I tend to rewatch movies I really enjoy every once in awhile, my backlog and the glut of new content is making it harder to find time for rewatches though. I'm also giving away a copy of a movie you will want to rewatch because it's fantastic! Just have to share a story of a time you connected with a movie emotionally.

MrStraightface posted:Every time I see The Hunt for Red October on I have to watch it and I don't know why Because it's a loving god tier movie. It's the kind of movie where I was watching last year it on a flight to see my newborn niece and someone tapped me on my shoulder to say I have good taste in movies. Currently hoping I can get out there this summer... if this pandemic poo poo ends.

National Treasure and Cloverfield Paradox I play one or the other if I just need something on the tv while I'm on the computer or reading a book. If I have to concentrate, then I play german LPs of dos video games

Whatever puts you in the head space to digest literature. I have been known to rewatch movies since I was young. I probably saw the first 3 Ninjas around 300 times, I def watched it almost everyday for probably a calendar year. At a party at my first apartment I remember someone wanted to see it, I was shocked how well I remembered lines to a movie I hadn't seen in decades. I still really like rewatching movies! I have seen Arrival several times, even more Snatch or The Big Lebowski. I feel like there are enough moving parts in these latter three, that unlike 3 Ninjas, really begged rewatching.

Snatch is incredibly quotable and Brad Pitt was pretty good. Also, it has a dog  I have never watched 3 ninjas, though. Too bad that it's not on Netflix. Speaking of, Netflix doesn't carry National Treasure anymore (Disney probably kept it for their own streaming service) . Guess I'll switch to music, but I'll experiment with twitch streamers in the meanwhile.

Yeah I also rewatch Snatch every year or so probably. Brad Pitt's role in it is so fantastic. I heard he called Guy Richie being worried his accent was poo poo because it's impossible to hear wtf he's saying and Richie just answering that it's perfect that it's incomprehensible.

There are certain movies that if they come on, I stop and watch no matter what. Shawshank Redemption is a staple of this, as well as lately The Martian.

I can never watch Shawshank again because it was the movie that was always on tv no matter where you were and someone always demanded that we watch it since it was on.

Jenny Agutter posted:ive never stopped wanting to watch shin godzilla since i first saw the trailer, seen it five or six times and might watch it again today. what movies do you watch over and over? I watched that one twice. The boring parts are worth getting through because the good parts are so good. I've seen Napoleon Dynamite about 20 times, because for a while I would put it on while doing tedious idiot work (although not more than once per day.) Most of those times I was just listening to it. I'll watch the original star wars trilogy once every 2 years or so, probably forever

Every October I watch 31 horror movies over the course of the month. I make the list ahead of time and do a healthy mix of movies I haven't seen as well as many I watch every year. I do the same thing in December for Christmas movies including several action movies that just take place during Christmas.

Thats absolutely right. I;m not at that point however, but I've decided to take a break from watching it say, once a year, to waiting for a few years to watch it again. I think its been 3-4 years so far. Will probably watch it again, maybe even soon, but it along with a few others that I've watched to oblivion and back are getting, or have been on a hiatus.

There are lots of movies that I put on to run in the background while grading papers. I can't watch anything new, because I need to look at the papers and new shows will distract me. So old, familiar movies are the order of the day. I have loads of them, and choose based on mood. In no particular order: Jaws Any of the Star Wars films Any of the Star Trek films Any George Romero zombie film Return of the Living Dead I, Robot Wizard of Oz Psycho Any of the Universal Monsters Bram Stoker's Dracula Any of the Mad Max films Cabin in the Woods Big Trouble in Little China The Thing Escape From New York Waking Ned Devine Either Tron Most Pixar films Quite a few Disney films Related fact: The film I have seen the most in the theater is "Star Trek: The Motion Picture". I saw it over 50 times in the theater. No, I do not like the movie that much. But my dad was in pilot training in a little town in Oklahoma for 3 months. The town's activities for out-of-town kids were limited to a bowling alley and a one-screen movie theater. Most kids in town would take a car to the next-over city that had an actual mall and other youth-oriented places, but my dad had the car, so I was on foot. Since there was nothing else to do, and the theater showed "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" the entire time, I went to see it a lot. Toward the end, I was doing the script along with the movie.

Growing up saw these movies in the theater so many times I couldn't tell you how many times I saw them: Return of the Jedi Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Gremlins Beverly Hills Cop Ghostbusters The Goonies Back to the Future And then, of course, with the advent of home video, there are so many films that I've lost count of how many times I've watched them.

Jaws is/was my favorite movie. I've watched it often. When I was younger there was a long standing joke in my family that whenever it was shown on tv i had to tape it. This stemmed from one time my brother set up the vcr to tape it for me. I knew how to use the VCR, but didn't know how to record poo poo for whatever reason. Sooooooo, he only set it to tape for 2 hours and when its on tv with commercials its closer to 2 1/2 hours. So I missed the last half hour of the movie. Then the next time it was on I asked him, or one of my other brothers to tape the poo poo again, and they were all like "gently caress you bitch, we already taped it for you" or something like that. I made a fuss, and then it turned in to "has to tape it every time its on TV".

I can't say I don't re-watch movies, but in GENERAL i don't purposefully seek out re-watching / re-reading TV, movies, books, comics. The movies I have rewatched are like star wars, tarantino films, all the Alien movies, etc. I did see The Rundown 4 times in theaters due to going with my friends then 3 separate dates who all wanted to see it, I did like the movie so it wasnt bad but I fell asleep the fourth time haha. When Rogue One came out I got a special pass from Regal that let me see it as many times as I wanted so I saw that like 7 times because I just moved to a new city and didn't have any friends or much to do. When my dad was alive he'd fall asleep to Harry Potter every single night, we had all the DVDs / they'd be on TV all the time so he'd watch a random one and fall asleep on his recliner.

I can give you all a bad rewatch story. A friend and I went to the first showing of Star Trek: Nemesis when it came out, and then later that day my sister called my to tell me she had gotten me a ticket to see it with her and her friends that night. So I had to sit through Star Trek: Nemesis twice in one day.

I constantly rewatch stuff, I feel like I get more out of my blu ray collection than most people because of how often I rewatch movies. The UHD format only increased my rewatches because there were some movies I was on the verge of burning out(Lawrence of Arabia, Blade Runner, The Fifth Element, etc.) but the UHDs were so mesmerizing that I've rewatched them several times since upgrading to the UHD. Speed is my new addiction. Loved the movie as a kid, but didn't see it for probably a decade and then when the UHD came out I fell in love all over again and I've watched the drat thing three times in less than a year.

I watch anything I enjoy from time to time. But one summer when I was 10, I decided I wanted to draw a Alien parody comic. My sister and I watched Alien every day for the entire summer. I ended up with a standard notebook-long comic that I've regrettably lost, but the plot was pretty much the crew being giant assholes and the xenomorph minding its own business. I recall that my Kane character recovered from his chest burster and was in a full body cast afterward. At some point they all decided it was all his fault and he should have to deal with the alien, so they shoved his wheelchair out into a hallway where he just kinda hit the opposing wall. He stayed there for the remainder of the comic. It was a good summer.

There are several films that on have watched multiple times. David Lynch's Dune - at least 50 times The 5th Element - about 30 Cypher - around 10-15 Confidence - around 10 Other movies that are also probably getting close to around 10 viewings are:- Air plane Animal House Basic Bill & Ted's bogus journey Blues Brothers Casino Clerks Dude where's my car F/X Fletch Goodfellas Groundhog Day Human Traffic Law abiding citizen Mallrats Next Oceans 11 Primer Revolver Rounders Summer School The girl, the gold watch and everything The Nines The Sting Time Bandits War games So what I'm saying is, is that I have no taste and I'm a glutton for punishment.

I've watched Inland Empire once a week for the past two months. On first viewing I thought it was pretentious bullshit and felt like this was the reason Lynch hasn't made a film in 15 years. Now after the eighth viewing, I'm thinking it's either; the filo pastry of cinema and a work of barely contained genius, where even the fidelity and resolution of the final product is superfluous to the deep themes of mysticism and unknown evil being conveyed, or, It's the first thing I thought and David Lynch and Laura Dern still have a good frickin' laugh about it every time they meet.

Generally no, ov veeeery rarely unless I'm watching with someone who hasn't seen it yet. It's not that I wouldn't enjoy them, but I just always want to try something new instead.

I like to rewatch Altman movies since there's so much going on in a lot of his films that there's plenty of stuff I don't catch until subsequent viewings. Nashville being the obvious pick for one that gets the most benefit from that.

DeimosRising posted:How could the visual aspects of a film be superfluous to its meaning? When the film conveys or suggests meaning despite deliberately looking like poo poo (being filmed on a c.2000 digital camcorder) and deliberately obfuscating characters eg; multiple characters played by one actor, speaking characters not being given names, people being mentioned in dialogue but never actually identified. In the context of David Lynch's work up to and including Inland Empire, I don't feel any of these decisions are supposed to be important, I think nonlinear narrative and nonlinear characterisation are choices to make you focus on only the actions and the emotions.
