Suddenly I'm struck with the idea of continually marketing the movie, "The Usual Suspects" to Alzheimer patients.

I've watched Treasure of the sierra Madre & Casablanca about 20x and most of my Bogart collection about the same. Basically classic cinema is all I like.

Modern movies are hard...too much contrived bullshit and effects only worth watching once, if that,

Some "modern" I've watched a lot include Apocalypse now still like 30 years old..Reservoir dogs 20 years old..Dune directors cut about 25 years old.

2001 is my ultimate nap movie. I like movies or baseball playing when falling asleep and 2001 does it in about 5 seconds🙂 I've watched it prolly 100x and never made it all the way through.

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.

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.

The lion king? Really?

I can see Monsters Inc. Man on Fire was good.. not sure if it's the type of movie I would watch over and over though. Never seen John Q.

The Lion King is a classic in my mind. If I ever see it on TV or can't think of anything else to watch, I'll pop in the Lion King.

John Q is an amazing movie.

You must mean Primer, I loved that movie; the link is to a Wikipedia article explaining the damned thing.

5 or 10 years back I would say Natural Born Killers and Pulp Fiction. I've become a different person.

Me to; weird isn't it?

I still like Kill Bill for re-watch-ability though.
