I just recently watched this for the first time. Poignant."You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it."

All About Eve
Alien
Donnie Darko
The Wizard of Oz

The Green Mile is one of my favorites. Michael Duncan Clarke is so perfect for the role of John Coffey.Some of these mentioned here are also some of my favs. I could almost recite these movies line for line seen'em so many times.
John Carpenter's Halloween
The Changeling
The Exorcist
Silver Bullet
The Shining
The Lost Boys
Original Wolfman
Salem's Lot (the original)
American Werewolf in London
Joy Ride
Loch Ness
Young Frankenstein
Dracula Dead and and Loving It
Shaun of the Dead
The Mad (a zomedy)
Dead End
Behind Enemy Lines
They Live (best fight scene ever)
Daffy Duck Quackbusters =P
All the old school Scooby Doos... wait that's not movies! x.X
Watched The Green Mile many times (such an amazing piece of work) but it's always been hard to watch without crying, Haven't watched since Michael Clarke Duncan died so I know I will just cry like a baby so I will probably skip that one for awhile. >_>
Plus Rudolph's dad was so mean too.it's the same with 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer'. Even as a small child i knew that what they were saying and doing to him was rotten....Santa Claus was truly sh*tty to him, until he needed him, right? And then that 'fault' was just perfect wasn't it?
I like the Alastair Sim version the best, too (Mom being from over the pond that was her favourite)Repeat viewing of all things "King" on a regular rotation and at Christmas "It's A Wonderful Life".
But the house rule is it must snow first, which is not always guaranteed here in the UK.
Plus "Scrooge" (the 1949 version with Alastair Sim) terrific film.
Followed by "Bad Santa", very crude and very rude but very funny!
Great festive viewing!
It was one of the movies the humanities teacher showed when I took Film Viewing and Construction. I really loved that class. Other movies he chose were Buster Keaton's The General, Casblanca, and Breathless (1960).I love it. Especially Karl Malden's speech in the cargo hold.
How bizarre? I have just been flicking through the channels, and Stand By Me is on 5*+1 in the UK in just under 5 minutes. I have never caught it from the beginning so it's a double bonus for me.I have not noticed it on tv for at least a decade but if Stand By Me is ever on I would watch it.
..........no matter how many times you have seen them?
One of mine would be John Carpenter's The Thing.
Are you in my head? I mean, really, are you in my head? Almost every movie on your
Dracula (gary Oldman)
Oh hell yeah, John Carpenter's remake of The Thing is one of the best remakes and horror movies of all time. Watching that movie is like reading a Stephen King book over and over, it just never gets old.Hell yes, The Thing !!!!
Kurt Russell never gets old, nor do the amazing effects and soundtrack.
Highlander is a movie I can watch over and over (my avatar sort of implies that)
