Been out for few beers earlier, got home and Mrs Binners is out for the night. Had a think about what I fancied watching for all of about 2 seconds, and went for my default. Apocalypse Now

Christ only knows how many times i’ve watched it, but I can always watch it one more time. It gets better every time

Yours?

Possibly Black hawk Down?

Even my default movies depend on mood.

Not a movie....but The Walking Dead is great too watch with 2 to 3 episodes back to back! 😀

The Big Lebowski wins with me most times, otherwise the more romantic option is usually As Good As It Gets.

If I'm totally trolleyed I'll try and look for Vanishing Point or King Kong (1933), at which point anything could happen.

Oh yeah, it's Hudson Hawk again.

Yeah that. Hudson Hawk 8)

Aliens.

Please tell me you mean the Directors Cut version otherwise you miss one of the best bits in the movie. 🙂

Where the automated sentinel machine guns are mowing the aliens down like cannon fodder and your watching the the small screen displaying how much ammo is left in each one as the numbers count down... Tense.

Love that bit! 😀

Withnail and I. Not a day or few hours go by without it getting quoted in a real world setting. I'm not alone in this as I'm also a member of the Withnail and I appreciation society on Facebook, which has a large membership.

It is a great film but I find the end scene crushingly sad.

Goodfellas
Mad Max Fury Road
Withnail & I

With our lass... It's complicated.

The film not the situation.

Apocalypse Now , is certainly an interesting film, and is certainly about mood more than plot. I find the production of it fascinating.

I only really watch films when I'm very ill, very tired or very hung over so it tends to be the first Lord of the Rings film. Watched it dozens of times 😳

In the days of VHS is was either Aliens or Pink Floyd - The Wall. Or after returning from a drug fuelled night out i enjoyed melting my head by watching John Woo movies - backwards 8) 😆

Now with access to so many movies i rarely watch any movie more than twice. Me and my boys have a movie night every weekend and if we're stuck for a new movie our back-ups are one of these...Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1, The Incredibles, Wall-e and Captain America - Winter Soldier.

I've got a few and they probably all point to a massive lack of sophistication/culture when it comes to film watching:

BTTF

Fifth Element:

Dr Strangelove

Going through the list of suggestions I realised I've never seen Withnail and I, don't know why, I've not actively avoided watching it but equally not gone out of my way to watch it.

Apart from all the movies that I above that have made me go 'Ooh, that one' my current go to movies are the Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2. I find them huge ridiculous fun and now measure every other film against them.
