Seriously? I'd consider this pretty much the opposite of replayable. Interesting...I haven't seen it in years, so I'll keep this in mind next time I watch it.

Why? It's gorgeous.

I have thought about it and can not separate replayability and plain quality, so I just listed my as of now thirteen favorite films in order.
 
Murder by Death
Red Planet
Mission to Mars
Armageddon
My Science Project
Real Genius
Payback
House on Haunted Hill
The Craft
Sin City

I've got a little more to add. You Mel Brooks fans might want to look away.

Watch this:

Notice how it feels like they actually put some thought into the sketch? Now watch this:

Devour the scenery, take an elementary school pun and completely beat it into the ground, waste the funniest part of the scene (the pith helmet), add a fourth-wall-breaking race joke, and BOOM!

Mel Brooks movie.

Try watching the 1968 "the producers".

I actually have that and Blazing Saddles sitting around on brand new VHS somewhere, waiting for someday. I'll bump them up in my queue, just because of your recommendation.

Since you put it in your sig...GJ on the weight loss, but are you sure 84 pounds in 6 months is realistic and healthy for your situation? Consider aiming at, say, waist size instead of pounds, and definitely read the fat loss sticky in Health & Fitness. I find that the daily plate at livestrong.com is very helpful for tracking net calories (though you can't trust their calorie and nutritional values for foods, even if they say verified).

Also check out stronglifts.com...if you can get to a barbell and you have the desire, you can lose massive weight and gain massive strength without endless boring cardio. Seriously, check it out.

Yeah, Netflix apparently swapped me the Extended Man Ass Edition or something. Stopped trying after like ten minutes. I was like, if Adam Sandler's loading dock is the hook to this alleged comedy, I'm gonna go ahead and cut my losses.

And I RARELY quit on a movie or book.
 
Shawshank
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
The Enemy below
Dumb and Dumber
The Wizard of oz
The Unforgiven
One flew over the coo coo's nest
Planes, Trains and automobiles.

I saw star wars in the theater, in 1977, and if you're talking about the cantina, and if I remember correctly, Solo shoots under the table first.

Solo shooting first implies somebody shoots next. The correct answer is Greedo never shoots.

My list:
Master and Commander
Zulu
Patton
Clue
Pink Panther series (original)
 
Star Wars Trilogy
LOTR Trilogy
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Avatar
Aliens
Airplane
Caddyshack
Dune
Gladiator
Black Hawk Down
Platoon
Blade Runner
Band of Brothers
Conan the Barbarian
Starship Troopers
Braveheart
The Matrix
Terminator 1/2
Godfather 1/2
Scarface
Predator
Rambo
Kill Bill 1/2
Fifth Element
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (best Bond film)
Animal House
Back to the Future
Forrest Gump
Monty Python's Holy Grail
The Abyss
The Great Escape

There's more for sure, but this is a list at the top of my brain if someone told me to hurry and put "can't-miss" movies on a video player for a trans-Pacific trip.

They don't have to be the best critically rated films but just fun fare that if it's on TV, I'll watch it while getting drunk on craft DIPA. :thumbsup:
