Movies that you don't get tired of

You know every time you're flipping channels and you see them you'll stop and watch till the end even if you've seen them a million times. Maybe you don't own them but still will watch if given the opportunity and free time.

Glory
Good Fellas
Casino
The Deer Hunter
Highlander
Last of the Mohicans
The Abyss
Ghost Dog
First Blood
Raging Bull
Jurassic Park

and so on...

The entire Star Wars saga (fuck the haters, prequels rule)
Jurassic Park/Lost World
Indy quadrilogy
Congo
Any Bond film
Jackie Chan stuff, althoug it depends on the movie/cut of the movie
Jet Li, same as Chan

There are probably more, but that's enough.

Big trouble in little China :buttrock:

Big Trouble In Little China and Robocop are the 1st 2 movies that spring to mind. Lots of others but those 2 above all else.

I've yet to see this and I'm going to assume that the American remake is going suck a nasty one. Is there a special edition of 'Let the Right One In' available?

ROBOCOP
STARship Troopers
Total RecALL

BILLY MADISON
The Thing
Speed Racer
Big Fish


and a bunch of anime OVAs, because 40 minutes is a short time to pack in a lot of cool shit, like M.D. Geist, Riding Bean, Amon: Apocalypse of Devilman. those are the equivalent of old school games you can go through in a short amount of time and never get tired of, like ghouls n ghosts, any mega man and strider.

Love and Basketball

bladerunner
pootie tang
ghostbusters
lotr
star wars, any of em.
most Miyazaki films.
golden compass - no idea why. just good background flick.

no reason for any of em. i just like to put them in the background sometimes.

There are probably too many for me to list, so I'm just going to use examples mentioned in this thread (and I liked a lot of the ones mentioned that didn't make the cut below --just not as much):

Starship Troopers

There are tons of movies that I love but I honestly can't say there are any I would never get tired of. I guess it depends on how often you watch them.

I guess if I had to say some though, Dawn of the Dead (1978) is probably my favorite movie ever made. I couldn't even begin to count how many times I've watch it and I could still sit down and watch it if the mood strikes. Not sure why I never get tired of it, just love it for some reason.

You could probably add Star Wars Ep. 4 and 5 (maybe 6, but not as much) but I am kind of tired of Star Wars in general. Still love the originals but I haven't had the urge to watch them in a while.

Oh yeah, I've seen Dumb and Dumber tons of times and still think its great.

I have a love/hate relationship with this movie.

I love the movie... but I hate the fact that the DVD is the only one I have ever failed to rip to my server. I dunno why but I simply cannot get it to rip.

That's cool bro. I always wanted to be an actor ever since my Uncle was in the Love Boat.

Here is my uncle, his name is Elias Jacob...he also played the original Luigi in the Atari Mario Brothers commercial which is the second link. He is the bald guy as one of the three couples on the Love Boat which is the first link:

Yeah, I have, too. Rented it, watched it a bunch of times, and refused to put it in the mail so we could get our next rental until the copy I ordered from amazon immediately after watching it the first time arrived. My second favorite movie of the past decade, trailing only Brick (which I have not watched multiple times back to back).

Weirdly enough, I read the book three times through immediately as well, and I usually wait a year or two to revisit books I've enjoyed.

Okay, looking at the DVDs I still own (and didn't unload in my Criterion extravaganza in Everything Else), I can also claim never getting tired of (no, this isn't all of them):

Malcolm X (definitely)
The Big Lebowski (how am I the first one to mention this???)
Fight Club
Fargo
Ran
Brazil
Red Beard
Rashomon
Rushmore
Royal Tennenbaums
General Idi Amin Dada
Cleopatra
Amelie
Star Trek VI
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
Being John Malkovich
Adaptation
Amadeus
Army of Darkness
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Chasing Amy
Dark City
Contact
The Crying Game
Annie Hall
Canadian Bacon
Defending Your Life
Emperors New Groove
People vs. Larry Flynt
Private Parts
LA Story
L.I.E.
Election
Planet of the Apes

...there's probably more...

The Sound Of Music
Goldfinger
Rambo 1 to 3
Star Wars movies Episodes 4 to 6.

Ghostbusters
Tron
The Goonies
Indiana Jones:Any of them
Big Trouble in Little China
Star Wars:Again any of them
Macross Do You Remember Love:This anime has aged well
Escape from New York
The Fog
Die Hard
Aliens
Monthy Python and the Holy Grail

those, along with others mentioned like The Abyss and other long dramas are movies that I like but really don't feel right if I'm flipping channels and they're on -- I need to be in a certain state of mind to appreciate those flicks, I feel wrong if I catch them halfway through and try to watch the rest.


Also, I wish Cinemax and HBO would have a dedicated widescreen channel. They've got HD now and a ton of other useless channels but still no widescreen. this is irritating me

we were soldiers
equiibrium

ive seen these all way to many times

Magnum Force
Duck, You Sucker!
Dollars Trilogy
Unforgiven
Predator
First Blood
Rocky

Probably missing a few, but that sums up some of my favorite films quite nicely.
