Films you repeatedly watch

[DI Burnside]

I think we've done this before but I can't find it.

What films do you watch whenever they come on TV ?

K19: The Widowmaker is on at the minute, I've seen it plenty of times already but I'll now sit and watch it again.

The Dam Busters is another.

Tell me yours please.

[Disastrous]

Blade Runner, On The Waterfront, Top Gun, Point Break, Bond films.

Oh dear Stuart. Another night on the sauce?

I think Bond films are watched by default when they’re on. Occasion films like Trading Places will be watched again and again. Oh and the first 3 Indiana Jones films. And any original Star Wars obvs.

[Doctor Congo]

It’s not on tv much but agree with Dis, Blade Runner is a perennial fave. Ferris Buellers day off when I need cheering up.

[Greg66]

Crimson Tide, the Hunt for Red October. I have no special interest in subs, but I heart those two.

I think Bond films are watched by default when they’re on.

I switch them off immediately if I have the misfortune to encounter one. I have watched one all the way through, I will never watch it again though.

In fact I can only think of one film I've watched all the way through twice, that was Guardians of The Galaxy.

[DI Burnside]

Kelly's Heroes

[Käsemeister]

Also Enemy of the State.

Basically anything by Tony Scott

And there we have it.

VERDICT

[Strawman]

Agree on Blade runner, I never watch things because they are on though, I've no idea what channels are showing what film. Apocalypse now is amongst my most watched films, Great expectation the David Lean version, Barry Lyndon, the Parallax view, Point Blank, Watchmen, the Producers Mel Brooks version.

A bit. But not Prometheus (shit), Top Gun (homo), Days of Thunder (Top Gun does NASCAR), The A-Hole Team (see Prometheus), etc.

[S1K]

Terminator, The Day Of The Jackal, Forrest Gump

I've seen Scum a million times too.

Google definitely makes it appear otherwise...

Which is odd. I can see the A team link (producer) but I'm struggling to work out why prometheus is on there.

[Darthdeathdealer]

Top Gun, Human traffic, train spotting, Lock Stock and 2 smoking barrels, Snatch. I've watched those a fair few times.

[mmm-five]

Lots...but most recently...

• Leon the Professional
• Old Boy (the Korean original)
• Day of the Jackal (1973 version of course)
• 2001
• Rollerball
• Shawshank Redemption (have been many late nights where I just turn over before turning the tv off, and end up watching for another 3 hours)
• The Green Mile (ditto)

[tanglerat]

Zulu.
The Searchers.
Tremors.
Bladerunner.

Loads more really. But those spring to mind first.

I don't repeatedly watch any films, not on purpose anyway. Laziness and inertia means I sometimes see parts of films I've seen before when I click around the channels on the telly, obv, but they're not a choice.

I find that they still keep making films, and this means there are always films I haven't seen before and I can never catch up. So if I've got a spare two hours I would rather see something new than something I've already watched, even if that something was something I really liked.

The only film I will deliberately watch again is The Thing, from 1982, but even that isn't something I've done more than a handful of times.

I really enjoyed John Wick, so recently-ish (months ago!) bought the dvd when I saw it for cheap. It's still in the plastic wrapper though. I've got Raiders Of The Lost Ark saved on my plusbox, because I do love that. But it's been there two years now and I've got nowhere near watching it.

[Il Duce]

The Godfathers
Fury
Kill Bills
Life is Beautiful
Amarcord- wop classic
Catch me if you can.

It was on again last night, I've recorded it and plan on watching it tomorrow. Love that film.

[Strawman]

Goonies

Totally off topic but I met someone who looked like the strange one in Goonies the other day, I kept wanting to say "man, what happened to your face?" but on a first meeting that seemed a bit too bold.
