In Reply to: Favorite movie you can watch over and over again? posted by brewthunda on September 04, 2001 at 11:03:08:
Without any particular order:“Dog day afternoon” – randomly sliding energy
“Heat” – the most professionally built drama about good/bad man with a smart sparkle of females
“As good as it gets” - as good as it gets
“Casablanca”– stunning concentration of events within time/space
“Devil’s Advocate” – incredible unintentional mockery on the mental oligarchy of the western churchenism
“Amadeus” - the life is a play of a portrait of the play?
“Scent of a woman” – one of the very few movies which “doesn’t come” during the viewing
“People will talk” … and many other movies from that time - I would love to live at the time when people were able to make movies like this.
“Hudsucker Proxy” – fantastic non-American parody on American corporate environment.
“Annie Hall” - Woody Allen’s word at the summit of being Woody Allen
“Contact” – the best Si-Fi movies
“The Fisher King” - a rare example when the American-straight-forwardness approach did not kill the movie, almost…
“Dangerous Liaisons” – can you mange a flow of the river?
“Natural Born Killers” –one of the best American comedy based on not-American sense of humor, shot by the accidental-most-American-director. Laughing like crazy during watching.
“King-Dza-Dza” - …mama!
“The Ritz” – arguable the best American comedy
“Tom and Jerry” cartoons - I hate this freaking mouse! I am still waiting until this Koshka will swallow that annoying rat. I plan to sue them if she eventually will not….
Thousands hours of Discovery Channel and Nation Geographic about the life of Filenes – this is the best. It has all shadows of the life within.
I actually enjoyed recalling it…

Follow Ups:
You love too much violence.
***“Scent of a woman”Did you see the original film with Vittorio Gassman? Makes that sugar-couted shit with Al look like it is just your average Hollywood thingy.
I have just about had it with trashy Hollywood remakes. Maybe they should now remake the 8 1/2 - something about Spielberg?
***“Dangerous Liaisons”Which one? The original one? The Malkovich one? Or - trully God forbids - the sleazy trash with Sarah Michele? That would make you even sicker... almost like Mart, I guess...
Victor,*** You love too much violence.
Though I never ageist if somebody call me a sick man (in many instances I get it as a compliment) but no one could consider me being a violence-liking man.

If you were able to note then pretty much all movies that I mentioned are the Hollywood thingy. There is a reason for it and you failed to realize it. Besides the question was: “The favorite movie you can watch over and over again?” When I watch MY movies I don’t try to comply with the “absolute taste and knowledge”… but try to satisfy my own little “white trash demands”… and you know what… those movies do it to me. Besides, Victor, the hate is not a good motivation….

Yes, the Malkovich one.

... the Clerks “Search for the perfect egg” I consider the best what was done in 90s…(if you know why I brought it up… I guess…)Rgs,
