Used to be one of the handful of videos my parents had and I watched it probably dozens of times as a kid. Rewatched it recently and it's still pretty good!

For me the movie we saw by far the most in school was Mrs Doubtfire. Usually happened at least once per year starting in middle school.

i remember watching happy feet in like 7th grade, and idk if you've ever seen happy feet but one of the themes of the movie is the use of religion as a means of social control (no poo poo, really) but nobody ever catches onto that somehow. its kind of like all of the criticism of religion in the book of eli that everyone ignores in lieu of calling it a Christian Movie

in a room full of kids who would argue that women have less ribs than men they're all just sitting there watching straight up anti-religious propaganda it fuckin rules ok

Tremors. 250/350 times. My babysitter had it in VHS and I watched it once or twice a day five days a week for a few years.

Movie still kicks rear end.

Excluding films I watched 100 times in a row as a child (Disney's Robin Hood) or films my kids have watched 100 times in a row (the Croods), probably Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, OP. Due to a series of unlikely coincidences, I have seen Scott Pilgrim in theatres no less than seven times, and then three times on DVD afterwards.

Probably Aliens because I used to re-watch it all the drat time as a kid, and have seen it several times since.

By the way IMO the correct order to watch Aliens if you're a newbie:
- Theatrical Cut First
- Director's Cut

The Director's Cut is better and expands on some stuff but it's honestly better left unseen on a first viewing, plus that way watching it twice makes the second viewing better.

the fifth element is a very good movie

i went to imdb and apparently there are a whole bunch of people who don't like the movie because it's not super serious and up it's own rear end in a top hat, and it has basically no continuity. which is kind of a shame because thats why it owns

Every other thing that happens in 5th Element sounds like stupid poo poo in paper and if you described it to me I'd tell you it sounded dumb as hell. But despite that, it all works and it's entertaining as hell.

The whole movie is a montage of things that should be terrible but are awesome instead.

the tards on imdb also consider fight club, the matrix, and the usual suspects to be in the top 25 best movies ever made.

it is a very bad site for people who hate good movies

I cannot stand when movies don't know what they want! Is it a comedy, a space thriller, action, all of the above... if a comedy, is it light or downright outrageous or something in between!!! The General being frozen in the refrigerator, his list of specialties that is so long it falls to the ground (any one remember Frank Drebin when he shows his badge), making love in the medical machine, Corbins mother calling the President... all "space balls" leveled in outrageous comedy... nothing wrong with that but then do it 100%, and don't wobble between styles of light comedy-action, space thriller to "naked gun" sublime humor.

IMO a mess in the story telling, little sense in the plot and causality. But many movies suffer from this. My biggest biff is the wobble between styles. Be true and consequent.

Honestly Fight Club is kind of a classic, The Usual Suspects is also kind of a classic though I don't know how well it aged, and The Matrix actually is pretty awesome as an action movie. They don't all have to be art house films.

Re-watch the original Matrix sometime. It's a legitimately good movie likely because there was some restraint.. it plays more like this noir cyberpunk thing where the other movies are SUPER ACTION JESUS rather than just making it a motiff. There's literally more bullet time in the intro of the next movie than the WHOLE previous movie and that shows the mindset of why they loving sucked.

But yeah the first movie is legitimately better than it should have been and had a huge impact on cinema. Maybe not top 25 good but it's not horse poo poo like all the sequels. I guess it depends if you're ordering your list by pop-culture impact and lasting effects, or by how arrrrtistic it is.

ED: I will also say almost every movie that people who snub entertaining movies that aren't high-brow loves tends to be poo poo Oscar bait that is more shallow than the shallowest of pop-corn Superhero bullshit, but people jizz all over because of it's "important" are usually boring, full of bullshit and are up their own rear end. (PS: gently caress you, Theory of Everything for somehow being all three.}

yeah looks like all the bad reviews for the fifth element are people going "IT CANT DECIDE WHAT TO BE" like every movie needs to be rigidly one genre

the matrix is definitely good by any stretch of the imagination, i just don't think its one of the absolute best movies ever made.

fight club has aged horribly and just a loving obnoxious movie all around and i've never really understood why the usual suspects was considered to be so good outside of kevin spacey and the really obvious twist
