Gball1973 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Ok, the films I can watch over and over again, in no particular order:- Platoon, The Shining, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, Star Wars (original trilogy only), Blade Runner, Das Boot, and Goodfellas. I will also watch most of Kevin Smith's stuff (Mall Rats, Clerks etc.), and enjoy some of the "homie" stuff - New Jack City, CB4, and Don't be a Menace.... I realise that a few of you have already said that Blade Runner was not a favourite, but, I think the cinematography (for the time) was just about beyond anything else that came out at that time. 1 Quote
Stutopia Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Terminator 2, Godfather 2, Empire Strikes Back are all superior sequels. Please no one say Aliens. The only better remakes I can think of are Heat, Desperado and The Magnificent Seven. Quote
raduv66 Posted June 1, 2013 Author Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Aliens added a whole new parth for that was a haunted house in space so deserves credit .Blade 2 anyone for the smaller budgit film . Remakes also worth a mention for me would be John Carpenters The Thing and Casino Royal. Edit and The Fly remake is pretty cool. Edited June 1, 2013 by raduv66 Quote
BulletMagnet Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Django unchained was epic. Say "Goodbye Miss Laura" Quote
twobears Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I am not a film lover and hate going to the cinema but I have enjoyed these films over the years - "Raging Bull" "My Beautiful Launderette" "Peter's Friends" "Brokeback Mountain" "Everything you ever wanted to know about sex ..." "Starship Troopers" (wonderfully kitsch) "District 9" Not sure that any of those are really standard rom-coms and I hate to think what my choices reveal about me? I seem to like equally love stories and extreme violence for some reason Quote

So many stand out moments apart from the puke inducing end fifteen minutes.the FFing speach at.the car hire and so much more. Quote
spursmaddave Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 My absolute favourite part is when they wake up in the motel..... "That's not a pillow!!!!!!!" I coukd also watch the Pink Panther films on a permanent loop.... " I thought you said your dog does not bite? " " zat is not my dog " Quote

Tropic Thunder, cos its "technically" about the 'Nam And it's got a life lesson in it too that some members might want to learn too "Never go full retard!" Quote
