Memento, You almost have to watch it repeatedly to figure out whats going on.
I disliked the last two, was rather meh about the middle two, and have very good reason to doubt I'll like the first two.

You and I can never be.

either you are much smarter or much slower than I am... Either way, I'd wager I enjoy movies more than you do.

That is to say: is your very good reason a lack of sense of humor?

YES Kill Bill vol 1

2 was ok but I liked 1 much more, Quentin originally meant for both movies to be one long movie but they decided to split it up.

I can watch Die Hard, and First Blood on repeat...all day...and not hate it.

I will be doing other things as they go on, but I dont hate having these play 24/7

Can't stand Meg Ryan.

When Harry Met Sally is awesome, and totally rewatchable. I like Meg Ryan.


for me:

I've seen Godfather 1/2 about 50 times (moreoo the 2nd one, because it is much better)
8 1/2 maybe 10 times
Magnolia about 20 times.
Raging Bull about 6 times.
The Deer Hunter about 15 times?

etc. But I wouldn't consider these rewatchable by most standards.

Those that I have watched many times that I think are rewatchable for anyone:
The Big Lebowski
Grumpy Old Men
Dumb and Dumber
Early and supremely stupid Adam Sandler flicks.
True Lies
Terminator 1 or 2
The Royal Tennebaums
Ghost Busters

A movie like Die Hard I won't sit down to watch, but will likely leave the TV on the channel if it happens to be on.

I'd leave most mysteries off the list, because unless they have a lot of other great qualities, knowing how everything turns out usually makes it less enjoyable to watch again.

My top picks are:
Star Wars 4,5,6 - I've seen ep 4 well over 50 times, including at least 3 or 4 times when it first came out in the theater. I was born in '71.

Band of Brothers - This is probably the best thing I've ever seen and I watch it at least once a year.

Raiders of the Lost Ark - Ultimate classic adventure movie. Every kid wanted to be an archaeologist after seeing this. I can watch it over and over.

Aliens - Ultimate action/sci-fi movie. Nothing quite compares for sheer ass-kicking.

Office Space / Step Brothers / Old School / Something About Mary / Supertroopers / Superbad - Really great comedies are funny no matter how many times you've seen them.

All of these are awesome. Though I prefer Anchorman to Step Brothers and Old School. and I feel like I'm the only person in the world that prefers The Last Crusade to Raiders...and I don't know why?

Sean Connery ?


Probably yes...probably yes...definitely no.
That clears that up :) but the question now becomes: what have you against Mel Brooks?

Thanks! For some reason UHF never gets boring to me. I've watched it so many times I can practically replay the whole movie in my head, but yet I still find myself laughing after watching it again.

Like a dozen of you mentioned Super Troopers and not a single one of you mentioned Beerfest. You all lose.

I only acknowledge one Broken Lizard film was ever made.

If you want to ignore Club Dread or The Slammin' Salmon I certainly won't begrudge you that; they were mediocre at best. To refuse to acknowledge Beerfest is a tragedy. Super Troopers may be a 9/10, but Beerfest is an 8 or 8.5/10.
