Films/DVD Asylum

All in all, this has been another disappointing year. But ONE film

that I'd care to see again, though I was amused with quite a few.
"Milk," "Rev Road," "SD," "Gran Torino," "Frost/Nixon," all were well done with a couple rising above the others. But only the Coen film, of all that I saw this year, drew me back for a second look. That's certainly not the only mark of a very good film but it's better than most, I'd argue.
What films did you see twice or which would you see again, if you've only seen once?

Twice at the megaplex? Gran Torino. If you count the movie and dvd? - Road Warrior 18:57:46 02/13/09 (0)
Like you, the middle of the road effort (which makes it better than most releases last year and yes, when I wasn't guffawing, I had the giggles) from the Coens, BAR, also, Tropic Thunder (actually better second time) and Pineapple Express.

My fav Coens' efforts, IMHO, YMMV,

Tier 1:
Lebowski
Raising Arizona
Oh Brother
Fargo
No Country
Miller's Crossing

Tier 2:
Blood Simple
BAR
Fink

Tier 3:
Hudsucker
Intolerable Cruelty
Lady Killers
Sorry. "SD" should have been, "SM," for "Slumdog Millionaire." nt - tinear 15:28:29 02/12/09 (0)

It'd probably help.... - grantv 09:33:07 02/12/09 (7)
.. if you mentioned which one was the "Coen" film. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who doesn't know / follow films by director (Coen is a director I'm guessing, yes? or maybe Coen brothers sounds familiar???). So to save (me) a bunch of IMDB time, which was the "one" film?
Also, what is "SD"?
I haven't seen any of the films mentioned yet, but do plan on seeing a couple.

  usually writes the screenplay, I believe, and the other directs. Last year, they also produced, if I remember correctly, the only film I watched multiple times, "No Country for Old Men."
  (see my correction for "SD," above).

    ?
    That wasn't on your original list though. I'm kinda confused.
    So the one film was "Burn after reading" then, yes? One of the ones on your original list was not the Coen film you spoke of?

      worth a repeat viewing and that it was a Coen bros. film.
      I then posted that the Coen bros. film was "Burn after Reading." I then mentioned that their previous film, the year before, also was the only one I recall liking or been intrigued enough to revisit.
      Sorry for the confusion.
      (NOT meant as an insult but is English your first language?)

        Actually, in your reply you never said THE Coen bros. film was Burn After Reading, you posted "Burn after reading is A Coen bros film", hence my not being sure you were originally referring to this film in particular. Maybe "SM" for example was also A Coen film and that's the film you were referring (possible, no?).
        Go back and look at it from the other side of the fence, your posts were not that clear IMO. Is English your first language? :) Enjoy.
        
        O...kay. But, are we clear now? GO see "BAR." (:-) nt - tinear 10:16:46 02/13/09 (2)

        Got it good now from your previous post. Sometimes I just have to be right, just ask my wife. :) Have a great weekend.
        
        Forget the weekend, fella. If you want a happy and long life, you'd best NOT - tinear 10:49:33 02/13/09 (0)

        Do NOT take the little lady to any film I mentioned, ESPECIALLY, "Revolutionary Road!"
