Top Gun. With all combinations of subtitles and dubs available.
Don’t ask.
Some 20 years ago it was kind of an in-joke between a few friends and I that whenever people were coming over, we’d be in the middle of watching top gun. I don’t remember how it started.
No, now I’m curious.
I mean, I lived through the 80s too, no judgment here, just are the subs and dubs that interesting?
Not completely by my own choice, but I feel like I’ve seen National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation - at least in part - once or more per holiday season since it was released.
The same is true of Elf, but obviously that movie is quite a bit more recent.
For movies I’ve watched the most by my own choice, it’s probably the Kill Bills or Inglorious Basterds, but those have got to be way behind in raw count. Goonies and the Back to the Future series probably have honorable mentions because of how long they’ve been around and continue to be a fun watch.
Good call! I’m not big on rewatching movies, but I definitely see Christmas Story, Elf, and Christmas Vacation every year, so I’ve probably seen A Christmas Story more than any other movie in the past 40 years.
Runner up might be having Disney’s Robin Hood on repeat when I was about 6. Oooda-lolly!
Lost in Translation
I never really got that movie. What about it brings you back to seeing it over and over again?
It makes me feel like I’m in Japan, and fills me with a really wonderful loneliness and awe. I feel like the movie is a fairly accurate representation of the experience of being a Western foreigner in Japan, and I love everything about that feeling.
And I also enjoy the unconventional romance story, as well.
Probably “The Man from Earth”. Just such a good and well told story.
I’m trying to say that that movie got popular online years ago and is still associated strongly with internet piracy culture!
It’s a little embarrassing, but I think it’s Scary Movie (all of them, but especially the first one)
I remember thinking 2 was so good in high school but watched it again much later and it just didn’t do it for me anymore. NATM on the other hand held up great.
Ah, it was the opposite for me. Might be because I enjoy the type of movies SC2 riffs on a lot more than NATM.
