Movies That Never Get Old
« on: September 20, 2007, 02:05:06 AM »
I'm sitting here watching The Right Stuff for the 1000th+ time and my heart still gets pumping like I'm watching it for the first time. I can think of a few other films that also never get old and I'm drawn to watch them when I see them pop up on the guide.

Blazing Saddles
History of the World Part 1
Kelly's Heroes
Stalag 17
Stagecoach
30 Seconds Over Tokyo
The Aviator (Kate Beckinsale was HOT as Ava Gardner :t )
Happy, Texas
Strategic Air Command
Sunset Boulevard
and of course...
The Right Stuff

What are your "have to watch it again" films?

You know I have never seen The Wall. I was in very anti-Floydoverhype mode when it came out and for one reason or another have never seen it.
