Grosse pointe blank

Therapist scenes are some of the best.

+ 1 for The long kiss goodnight

The dark knight- Ledger is amazing

Tron legacy

John Wick 1

Any Star Wars film
Robocop
The Matrix
High Fidelity
Grosse Pointe Blank

7

Though I always end up browsing PH and AT for one of these

A few off the top of my head:

Blazing Saddles
Dirty Harry
Rosemary’s Baby
The Terminator
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Carrie

Jaws
Terminator 2
Shawshank Redemption
Cool Hand Luke
Starship Troopers

Napoleon Dynamite for me. Especially the Rex-Kwan-Do scenes.
The Fifth Element for Ruby Rod

Don’t really have one particular film that is my fav but the only films i own and can watch repeatedly are :

Withnail & I
Intersteller
The Big Lebowski
Dazed & Confused
Under The Skin
Moon
In The Loop

And recently i’ve been watching The Death Of Stalin quite a few times so i imagine that’s also going into my list

Lots of the above. But cannae believe that Predator hasn’t been mentioned! Raiders of the Lost Ark in there to.

Dazed & Confused

Which just reminded me – ‘Led Zeppelin – The Song Remains The Same’ was the drunken go to ‘at home alone’ film for decades, I replaced the worn VHS tape with DVD then finally ‘replaced’ that with YouTube highlights.

Seems Youtube channels are now my most regular late night home-alone choice, perfect attention-deficit companions 😉

Binners is your choice original or the Redux?

The original. The extra footage in Redux is self-indulgent twoddle which adds nothing.

My second is Withnail. I think it takes a few watches of it before you get past the laughing your tits off stage and realise its the greatest story of unrequited love and desperation ever told. And when you realise that, the final scene has more pathos than any other movie scene ever filmed. Always really upsets me.

The big Lebowski is another thats right up there. I love it! Utter genius.

And when me and my best mate, who I’ve known since I was 4, get back in from the pub, we don’t even need to ask whats going on….

Its been the default since we were at school (1843). No matter how may hundreds of times we’ve watched it, we’ll sit there laughing like drains 😀

the holy mountain

So many manly man films. I bet you’re all snuggling up with the wife watching les miserables or Marley & me

Scum and Nill by mouth always a happy time at ours…

And recently i’ve been watching The Death Of Stalin

I managed to miss it at the cinema. Is it available elsewhere?

Aliens

The Last Boy Scout possibly, and it’s not been mentioned (that I noticed)

Predator
The Lost Boys
Goonies
Ferris Buellers Day Off
The Blood From The Mummys Tomb
Dads Army (the original)
Earthed

Swingers

I really enjoyed this film in the 90s. Watched it again a few months ago. It has not aged well at all, I struggled to get through it.

Is this just a “Films I like” thread, or actually people’s multiple watched default film(s)??

Thread Closed

lord of the rings

No preference of the 3, I watch them in order, not in one sitting though.

+1 Blazing Saddles.

Was the first DVD I ever bought, and oddly the first HD-DVD (yeah, I know, but counts as my first ‘HD’ disc, and not going to rebuy it on Blu Ray).

But Clockwork Orange is pretty much my all time favourite and could watch it endlessly. Along with most Kubrick films.

I used to watch certain stuff over and over, but like with all films I’ve suddenly stopped watching mostly. Not sure why. I got bored and/or annoyed with the new stuff coming out, and perhaps have oversaturated my watching. Now got into the habit of just watching TV shows as they’re shorter. A film is an investment of a couple of hours, and I like to watch it in full cinema mode which involves, being fed first, getting the room ready, lights off, make sure the surround is working right etc. I just feel I could do something more useful in the time.

I managed to miss it at the cinema. Is it available elsewhere?

Not out on dvd till 26th of Feb

Is it available elsewhere?

and Amazon & iTunes etc

Scum

Great film. Wouldn’t make my ‘go to’ list (although I do have it on DVD) as I usually just find films during late evening scanning of film channels on the tv.

Kind Hearts and Coronets

Bittersweet movie where the co stars get to shine

Hi all,

I cannot believe the following hasn’t been listed:

1. Snatch
2. Uncle Buck
3. Betty Blue
4. Quadrophenia

JeZ

Betty Blue

It’s a crap film save for the naughty bits though. Now we have the interweb it really isn’t needed any more. Agree with 1 & 4 though.

Ski School.
So bad it bypasses good and goes straight to great.
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve watched it with my mates, every weekend away must include a viewing!
Rarely does a day pass when I don’t quote from it, which is intensely sad but makes me chuckle. Keeps me feeling young 🙂

We have default Xmas films in our house (probably needs another thread)
But every year its
National Lampoon’s Xmas Vacation
The Hogfather
Muppets Xmas Carol

The Italian Job. Original.

Thanks DezB

In our house it’s mool-tee-pass.

The Goonies
Uncle Buck
The Day After Tomorrow
Love Actualy

not always in that order!
