What movies can you watch over and over and over...?

[Billo_Really]

The Patriot.....is another movie I can watch all the time.

My stock insomnia movies:

Out of Africa
To Kill a Mockingbird
Stand By Me
Shawshank Redemption
Gardens of Stone
Excalibur
Lincoln
The Natural
Chariots of Fire

Not as often anymore:

It's a Wonderful Life
The Wizard of Oz
The Sound of Music
Dr. Zhivago



I used to really love Gone With the Wind, but as I matured I realized how racist and sexist and celebratory of a perverse culture it is, so I no longer watch it. In its place I could watch Gettysburg an infinite number of times.

Did you forget "Fever Pitch"?

I saw that once; it was fun but not a classic. For other baseball movies worth watching over and over, I would add Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, Eight Men Out, and Bang the Drum Slowly.

Major League is the best baseball movie ever

If anyone asks why anyone could like baseball, you only need to point them to the “Wild Thing” scene and the scoring from second on a bunt

You also left out The Natural, League of our own and Sandlot

Uh, no, The Natural is on my original list, which you even quoted. I love it so much, I own it.

It wasn’t a thread asking about baseball movies, it was about movies we could watch over and over - which in my mind encompasses many subject matters. I included two of the greatest movies ever made about sport, The Natural and Chariots of Fire.

I don’t agree that Major League is the best baseball movie ever, and my opinion is shared by the vast majority of film critics, too - it has an abysmal 5% ‘rotten’ rating at Rotten Tomatoes, for instance. (Sorry I erroneously cited the rating for the sequel, Major League II - the first movie has a very decent rating of 82%) I saw it once or twice, it was goofy fun but when *I* think of great movies, I think excellent story, acting, cinematography, music, directing - a whole package. We just have very different taste, apparently.

Best sports movie ever is Baseketball.

 

[BoSoxGal]

Apparently some here have pretty juvenile taste in films - why am I not surprised?

Hoop Dreams is probably the best movie ever about basketball.

Most people say Hoosiers.

That’s a great movie, and I’ll concede the point if you are talking strictly fictionalized feature films.

But Hoop Dreams is not only the greatest film ever made about basketball, it’s one of the greatest documentary features ever made. If you haven’t seen it, it is well worth the investment of your time.

Have you seen "Basketball: A love story"?

This is the TV forum.

That curtails other movies I could watch over and over. For example, My Cousin Vinny which Marissa Tomei won the Oscar for is one of the best uncut movies there is IMHO. Pesci’s cussing is turned down to about a 5 from Goodfellas but it seems much more comedic here. And I cannot say enough about Fred Gwynne as Judge Chamberlain Holler. Also three of my favorite character actors of all time Bruck McGill and Lane Smith and James Reborn (sp?) have good roles in it too. The director uses their talents well. On film and DVD? Fantastic. Edited on TBS? Not worth 5 minutes of your time except for the little strut at the end of the trial.

I suppose Armageddeon and Die Hard translate well on TV. I pretty much have to watch them until they finish when I see them on Television. They are eye candy and good background noise Casablanca,Heat and Crash….are movies I still pay attention to and watch.

Sleepers:

I have a great many…

The Family Stone
Unhook the Stars
Twilight of the Golds
Mystic River
Beatriz at Dinner (I strongly recommend everyone see this movie).

 

[OldLady]

Gone With the Wind
Sleepless in Seattle
Every Which Way But Loose
Bells of St. Mary's
The Miracle Worker (1962)
The Homecoming
Jumpin Jack Flash

"I…..Dentical!”

I get the feeling the director took the stereotypical southern lawyer a bit too far on that one but still a great blurb.

We are not talking about great movies. We are talking about movies you can watch over and over

Citizen Kane is a great movie......but I don’t care if I watch it ever again
Space Balls is stupid.......but if it is on while changing channels, I will stop and watch it

I thought they avoided being stereotypical with both the judge and the DA. While obviously southern, they were very competent

The guy in the bar with the roll of twenties and the desk clerk with the train were southern stereotypes
