Title: Movies That Never Get Old
Post by: rpm 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.

Its a great movie.  there was something about being able to just drive as fast as you want without a bunch of people in the way... oops get a flat tire?... just go to the local dealership and get yourself another car...  clothes get dirty?...go to the store and get some clean clothes...

That one never gets old. Mix yourself and some friends a white Russian and go watch it again.

Try to spot all the movies self references - for example: the scissors of the Germans chasing the dude in his dread are on a big picture in Mod's studio. There are many more, the movie is built around that idea.

Gotta agree with that call. Great movie.

Another new one that I think will qualify is Invincible (and I can't stand the Iggles).

I'll agree with

"oh brother where art thou"

I thought I was the only one whom liked that movie.. I have it recorded on my DVR and end up watching every so often.

For me it tends to only be funny movies that I can watch over and over. Stuff like Office Space, 40 year old virgin, that stupid movie by Mtv about that nerdy guy. Stuff like that.

Any sort of serious movie I end up getting board with, no matter how good it was. However I can watch the movie "24 hour party people" anytime it's on, simply because of the music.
