What movie can you watch over and over and never get tired of? Mine is Blazing Saddles , Not Pc today but it is funny.

[debm55]

[Charging Triceratops]

1. Most of all: "Fargo"!

And, of course, the first "Godfather." And the original "Smokey and the Bandit"; Gleason was awesome.

[debm55]

3. Yes, I have seen it. I see why you would watch it over. TY

[Freddie]

2. Animal House

Seen it dozens of times and every time I catch something new.

[debm55]

4. have seen it once---very funny. TY

[frogmarch]

5. The Secret of Roan Inish

[debm55]

6. Thank you frogmarch

[Bayard]

101. A favorite!

[Ocelot II]

7. This Is Spinal Tap. Cracks me up every time.

It goes to 11 for me.

[debm55]

8. I have never seen it, will have to look for it. TY

[Shermann]

178. I just saw that scene last night and it never fails to crack me up as well

It's such a great example of perfect comedic timing.

[albacore]

9. I always thought of Blazing Saddle as so un-PC that it was very PC..

It pokes fun at ALL the prejudices. Mel Brooks spoke about this often. Example: Laughing at the Nazis punctures their balloon of racism. https://i.makeagif.com/media/4-16-2021/kWnQRD.mp4

[debm55]

11. Thank you. I never thought of it that way.

[albacore]

125. Why did I ever post about Blazing Saddles?.... now it's stuck in my head, and I'm replaying the whole movie in my mind..

Just how dumb are the white, hick townsfolks? Really dumb.
(N-word alert)

[debm55]

138. If I remember correctly, Richard Pryor was a writer with Mel Brooks for the movie. Thank you for posting. Why don't

you see if it is streaming ?

[Frasier Balzov]

172. Mel also wanted Richard Pryor to play the Sheriff Bart part.

Warner Brothers said nope, too unreliable.

[Jrose]

10. First would be 'The French Connection' (original one) .. especially the train and car chase scene.

Also...
- Forrest Gump...Tom Hanks was stellar in his role
- Saturday Night Fever - Great music!
- Wall Street - Michael Douglas was terrific in that movie

[debm55]

12. I saw the The French Connection when it first came out. Forest Gump, I have seen a couple of times, The same with

Saturday Night Fever. I have never seen Wall Street. Thank you for your list.

[debm55]

14. Yes , that car and subway/train scene is legend. I was underage when I saw it , but my girlfriend and I got in. TY.

[cayugafalls]

65. It was also uncleared with the city but used off duty cops to try and control traffic.

They really went all out and on some streets there were no controls and the near misses you see were actually unknowing citizens going about their day.

[debm55]

69. I didn't know that. Thank you for the information. It makes that scene really scary now.

[dem4decades]

155. I recently watched SNF, i didn't remember it. They raped that

Girl in the back seat of the car, didn't they? I shut it off.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

13. Lady & The Tramp

[debm55]

15. I like when they are eating spaghetti.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Gene Hackman in "Hoosiers." Also, "Young Frankenstein." Both are classics! nt

[debm55]

17. Agree with you on both counts. TY

[global1]

18. I Have Two Movies I Can Watch Over And Over And Never Tire Of......

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder version).

[debm55]

19. Seen them both and agree with you. TY

[Cartoonist]

20. A Hard Day's Night

I've probably watched it a hundred times. It's a movie you could just listen to.

[debm55]

21. I agree with your statement. Thank you

[thucythucy]

22. Dr. Strangelove

[debm55]

23. Thank you , thucythucy.

[Walleye]

83. That would be mine.

[debm55]

84. Thank you, Walleye. Classic movie.

[cos dem]

131. Sadly, I watched this one after Orange Hitler got elected, and it wasn't so funny anymore.

[Alpeduez21]

24. Last of the Mohicans

The early 90s version with Daniel Day Lewis

[debm55]

27. Loved that movie and Daniel Day Lewis was hot in it.

[Bobstandard]

25. The Last Waltz

Great music, best music movie ever

Also, the Bourne movies

And to prove I’m also a sensitive guy, Sleepless in Seattle

[debm55]

28. Love your selections--all great. TY

[IcyPeas]

26. Tender Mercies

[debm55]

29. Loved that movie. TY,

[jmbar2]

30. Young Frankenstein (Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder and Madeline Kahn)

[debm55]

32. Loved that too. I go to comedies.

[Trueblue1968]

137. Comedies are my favs !!!! GHOST Busters and SOME Like It Hot !!!!!

[debm55]

139. Two great ones. Thank you. But darn now I have the Ghostbuster theme ear worrm

[RainCaster]

116. I agree!

It is in the same humor vein as "Blazing Saddles" and I love both of them.

[Wolf Frankula]

136. My Favorite Movie.

The Producers is second.

Wolf

[debm55]

141. Wolf, I also like anything that Mel Brooks put out.

[bucolic_frolic]

31. Having been schooled by a generation that fought WWII

Where Eagles Dare

The Holcroft Covenant

Considered to be 2 cult films. They couldn't remake the first one because of cost, location, and safety. They won't remake the second because a new script would lead to more details from the novel, and that too would be prohibitively expensive.

Plus where could they find stars to replicate those roles?

[debm55]

34. Two very excellent choices. I don't know how many times I have watched the Great Escape. There are movies that are

classic. TY

[Polly Hennessey]

33. Mine are: Wuthering Heights, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, The Andromeda Strain, and Arrival.

[debm55]

37. Excellent choices, Polly, I like the original Wuthering Heights. and have watched it many times. TH

[CanonRay]

35. Jeremiah Johnson

[debm55]

38. Great film. Ty

[Submariner]

36. Going to war with Canada

“Canadian Bacon” is a series of well written/directed sketches and is funny throughout.

[debm55]

39. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAh. that is funny.

[Niagara]

40. A League of Their Own

Dances With Wolves


Urban Cowboy


Old School

[debm55]

44. I love all your choices, Have to close eyes when two socks gets shot, Have seen many times. TY

[Niagara]

47. That scene darn near makes me cry.

It's good to know that during filming that they used two different wolves for filming those scenes and both wolves were uncorperative, which that information makes me less sad.

[debm55]

49. You mean they really shot them.?

[Niagara]

68. No, Debbie ...they didn't really shoot them.

My apologies if I was unclear.


The two wolves (Buck and Teddy) once done filming the Dances With Wolves movie were sent to live in a retirement sanctuary for wild animals.

[debm55]

70. That's good to now. Thank you. While in South Dakota, we visited the area and took a took a tour of where scenes were

shot. The Buffalo Hunt scene always amazed me. Kevin did his own stunts in that.

[Niagara]

78. You're entirely welcome, Debbie.

That's awesome that you visited the area of filming.

I love Kevin Costner!

[grumpyduck]

41. The Godfather is one.

Casablanca, Star Wars Episode 4, Jaws (maybe), Raiders of the Lost Ark, Young Frankenstein. I love Blazing Saddles but can only watch it occasionally.

There are a few others, but I think those top the list.

[debm55]

50. Excellent choices, grumpyduck.

I have see the first Godfather many times. I read the book first. I really didn't care the the rest of the series.

[Glorfindel]

42. All three of "The Lord of the Rings" movies

And all of the "Star Wars" movies

[debm55]

55. The Lord of the Rings was wonderful in all ways-casting, scenery.I loved it. I only saw the first Star Wars and liked it

so much that I didn't want to see the rest of the series.

[gopiscrap]

43. I have 3 of them

Number One is "Amadeus"

Two "The Deer Hunter"

Three "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"


I have the dialogue memorized to one and three and most of the dialogue memorized to two

[debm55]

58. Brilliant. I am that way with the Sound of Music and the Wizard of Oz.

[yellowdogintexas]

126. Mr YD and I went to see "Amadeus" the night our daughter was born

We got home about 9, and went to the hospital about 6 in the morning.

We referred to it as our last night alone and for years we watched that movie on the 28th of November.

[debm55]

146. What a wonderful post. Thanks for sharing.

[House of Roberts]

45. The Cheyenne Social Club.

Jimmy Stewart paired with Henry Fonda as saddle pals is just about my all time favorite movie.

[debm55]

59. Two great actors there. Classic film. TY

[unweird]

46. The Big Lebowski

That movie cracks me up every time. Even if I am not pacing the dude and his beverage consumption. Which we tried once but the wife is too old to be crawling around the house on all fours.

[debm55]

51. Dude, that is so funny.

[FirefighterJo]

48. Last Samurai

It hits me every time to my core.
Top gun as a youngster

And a freaky nice one.... a million ways to die in the West

[debm55]

60. Thank you, Firefighter Jo, Question for you--is the last Samurai the basis for the Magnificent 7 or am I thinking of

another film. TY

[FirefighterJo]

63. Sichi nin no samurai?

I looove kurasawa s movies

[debm55]

71. Thank you Firefighter Jo

[FirefighterJo]

73. You are very welcome

Much obliged

[bedazzled]

52. It's a mad mad mad world has an awesome cast

Also love groundhog day

Once upon a time in hollywood

SOB and the pink panther movies by Blake Edwards

In cold blood

Some like it hot

Rosemary's baby

Any mel brooks and Gene wilder movie

Bedazzled

Can you tell I LOVE movies?

[debm55]

67. Yes, so am I, But the movies today are not up to pare with any of the clasics you named. I really like your least and

have seen many. But if you read the list that posters made, the movies are not from the last ten years.That's sad. But I do enjoy your list of movies. They are great.TY

[bedazzled]

98. I liked dr strange and thor ragnarock

Green book was fabulous

You are right that there don't seem to be many current movies that will be considered classics. Can't say I go to movies at theater much anymore and that's a shame. The experience is important.

Got covid at the last Thor movie and it sure wasn't worth it. Didn't like dr strange sequel either and it broke my heart. Such a great actor and character.

[debm55]

103. Good choices , bedazzled. I am sorry that you got Covid for a movie that stunk. Here's to your health and better movies

ahead.

[bedazzled]

120. Thanks for the smile!

[malthaussen]

175. It does, but I have had no luck finding an unedited version...

... every video I've seen of it cuts out some parts. It was one of the first movies I remember seeing at the Saturday Matinees back in the early 60's.

-- Mal

[AZSkiffyGeek]

215. Mad mad world?

There is a criterion edition I believe that is complete. Or at least more complete than I’ve ever seen in any broadcast or theatrical screening - I remember a scene with Buster Keaton in a garage. I think it’s available on Prime.

[c-rational]

53. Two very different movies come to mind: Groundhog Day, and Forbidden Planet.

[debm55]

82. Yes, they are differnent but with good directors. actors and plot, they become classics. TH

[Goddessartist]

54. Legend

directed by Ridley Scott. Incredible visuals, and of course, Tim Curry...

&list=PLDD52B342B159D1F1

[debm55]

104. Youtube has a movie channel? Thank you. I will check this out.

[Goddessartist]

108. I love youtube!

I listen to documentaries and watch all sorts of stuff as I'm home bound.

[CanonRay]

56. Invasion of the Body Snatchers

The original version please. Catches a slice of ordinary California 50s life interrupted by a horror show. Great movie.

Also; All Quiet on the Western Front. I actually like the 1978 version with Ernest Borgnine as Katcinsky the best. The original 1931 is good also. Did not care as much for the recent version, too deviant from the book.

No Country for Old Men- just an incredible story and great acting.

[debm55]

105. Agree with No Country for Old Men. on both counts--story and acting. You have to have those. To me special effects don;t

make it. Also like the original version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers being better., but I have watched both.

[bamagal62]

57. Off the top of my head....

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Best in Show
Jurassic Park (the first one)
There’s Something about Mary
Bridesmaids
Fargo
Pulp Fiction
I’m sure there are a few that I have forgotten.

[debm55]

109. Your list is great, I really Fargo and the original Jurassic Park, Have see a number of times, TY

[Hope22]

61. Secretariat..

A movie filled with strong women, beautiful horses, heart touching humor and a step back into time in the USA. Positive on so many levels. I’ve probably watched this movie 20 times with my sister, a horse woman trapped in a melting body but clear headed to the end We did enjoy this movie! 💗💗🐎🐎

[debm55]

111. I loved it too, Filled with all the characteristics that make a movie great, TY Sending good wishes to your sister and

you

[Hope22]

168. Thank you.

Good wishes to you too!💗🙏🏼💐💗

[mobeau69]

62. Raising Arizona, A few good men, Blast from the past,

[debm55]

112. Really enjoyed them both. TY

170. ditto, plus blues brothers, lego movie, lego batman, bringing up baby, ball of fire(stanwyck).

[brush]

64. Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, Shawshank Repemption, Godfather 1 and II...

Catch Me if You Can, Pulp Fiction.

Those are my favs.

[debm55]

75. Excellent choices. I loved Shawshank Redemption and have watched numerous times. I can only take Godfather 1 because of

the brilliant acting in it. TY

[debm55]

200. Thank you for the great list, brush.

[Jeebo]

66. The Martian.

It shows up on the cable movie channels all the time, and whenever it does, it is impossible for me NOT to watch it. I've seen it dozens of times.

There are lots of others. The first two Taken movies, A League of Their Own, The Poseidon Adventure, Forbidden Planet (the best science fiction movie ever made, IMHO), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956 and 1978), War of the Worlds (1950s version, NOT that awful remake), The Fly (1958 version, NOT that awful remake), The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 version, NOT that awful remake), Double Indemnity (the best film noir ever, IMHO), A Tale of Two Cities (1935 version), Mutiny on the Bounty (1935, won Best Picture), the first three Star Wars movies, The Heiress (Olivia de Havilland's best movie, IMHO), Dr. Strangelove, The Parent Trap (1961 and 1998 versions), Ben-Hur (won 1959 Best Picture), The Ten Commandments (1956 version), Samson and Delilah, most of Greta Garbo's talkies, National Velvet (Elizabeth Taylor's best movie, IMHO), Django Unchained, 12 Years a Slave, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Wuthering Heights, Johnny Belinda, The Miracle Worker, Planet of the Apes (1969 original), Metropolis, My Fair Lady, Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn version), Roman Holiday, the first two Alien movies, Amadeus, The Wizard of Oz (the first movie I remember ever watching, I was 5 when I saw it on TV in 1955), LOTS of others, I could go on and on ...

-- Ron

[debm55]

114. You have quite a list, I notice you like the originals and not the remakes, Same with me, You are the first to mention

Johnny Belinda, I really like the movie and will watch it everytime it is on and National Velvet aso, Thank you Jeebo for list of great classics that we continue to enjoy,

[Jeebo]

167. Johnny Belinda was on TCM last night.

That's why it was at the top of my mind when I made this list. I hadn't seen it in a long time but I quickly discovered how compulsively watchable it is. Jane Wyman deserved her Best Actress Oscar.

I think that when Hollywood re-makes a classic old movie, they too often forget what made it a classic. They start taking all sorts of liberties with it and ruin it. The same thing when they make a great novel into a movie. "Jumper" by Steven Gould is a great novel, I've read it several times and could not put it down, it is so much fun, but when they made that pathetic movie a few years ago they took all kinds of liberties with it and ruined it. They took all the fun out of it.

If they would just remember why the original was so good, they could make it into a great movie. They did that with "The Martian". They stayed mostly true to that great novel and therefore it made a great movie.

-- Ron

[debm55]

194. I missed it. How could I miss it, Thank you for your post.

Last edited Sat Jan 6, 2024, 09:27 PM - Edit history (1)

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

156. Thank you for that list.

Personally, I think the movie "Twelve Monkeys" is the most science-fictional movie ever, by which I mean it sticks to the s-f tropes and doesn't wander off into Hollywood-land.

I grew up reading science fiction, and am generally not impressed with movie or (worse yet) TV s-f. The problem is that the movies and shows are written by people who absolutely know how to write the scripts, but seem to have rarely, if ever, read any actual science fiction. Sigh.

[Basic LA]

72. Aliens, starring Sigourney Weaver.

Unlike the 1st movie "Alien," this one has no spoilers, just combat action & great characters. Somehow it never gets old.

[debm55]

79. Thank you, The first one scared me,

[Ferrets are Cool]

183. Love that movie

[Basic LA]

195. Great clip. Now I want to see it again!

[rurallib]

74. Doctor Zhivago

how lives go on behind the big stories

[debm55]

77. That is another of my favorites along with Lawrence of Arabia. The Great Escape. Sound of Music. and Dances with Wolves.

I have seen all the films many times. And Doctor Zhivago was on the top of that list. Ty

[nocoincidences]

76. I love Twister.

I will watch Weather Porn all day long, especially tornado footage, so Twister is just well produced weather footage with a little bit of story thrown in.

[debm55]

115. I have seen that a couple of times myself, Enjoyed it. TY

[Brother Buzz]

80. Get Shorty

I am sad Elmore Leonard only wrote two books in the Chili Palmer series before he died.

I love John Lurie's song, Stink. There are some amusing spoken words buried in the song, but I've never been able to catch them. Anyone with keener ears care to give it a shot?

[debm55]

117. Wonderful song. You know that is what makes a movie memorable also----the score. Ty

[samsingh]

81. Trading places

and
Trains, Planes, and Automobiles

[debm55]

85. Great choices, samsingh. Ty

[Solomon]

86. Not really a movie but the BBC series I Claudius.

Also Reilly Ace of Spies.

For movies: Bedazzled (the one with Brendan Frazier)
Idiocracy
Pride and Prejudice.

[debm55]

90. All great choices. Solomon. I watch Outlander and it does seem like a movie. So yes. I Claudius , you can include. TY

[Elessar Zappa]

87. Home Alone!

Was my favorite movie as a child and I still watch it every Christmas. Kevin’s shenanigans never get old lol.

[debm55]

118. Very good choice. I have my Christmas movies that are necessary holiday viewing also. TY

[bpj62]

88. The Godfather

I love the Godfather followed by
The Fifth Element
The Shawshank Redemption
Ben Hur
Star Wars Episodes 4-9

[debm55]

121. I only saw Star wars I, mostly I like the original versions best, Same goes for the Godfather, Most times films in a

series aren;t as good, JMO

[cayugafalls]

89. There are 2. The Elephant Man and The Imitation Game

Both movies are brilliant reflections of humankinds inability to see the true self and accept it for the simple fact that...

All Life Is Magnificent.

[debm55]

92. I saw the The Elephant Man when it came out and did not what to look at him at the beginning, Midway through I marveled

at his humanity at the end I cried for him. Very true about looking into the heart of people instead of the outside appearance. My family still judges me by my outward looks. Their lose , not mine.

[CrispyQ]

91. The Hunt for Red October.

Such an excellent movie all around! I think I can quote most of the movie by heart.

You arrogant ass! You've killed us! - I think when it gets confused, it kind of runs home to mama. - Give me a ping, Vasily. One ping only. - The hard part about playing chicken is knowing when to flinch. - I would like to have seen Montana. - Make like a hole in the water.

A close second is Chocolat.

A boy in high school took me to Blazing Saddle for our first date & I was horrified at the fart scene while he laughed like crazy next to me. But I do love Madeline Kahn! And the rest of the movie was fun.

[debm55]

94. Did you read the book --the Hunt for Red October? I have never seen the movie , but loved the book. Oh I have others I

always watch when they are on--Doctor Zhivago, Shawshank Redemption, Lawrence of Arabia. Dances with Wolves. If it's on, I watch. and I have watched many times. I wonder why that is? Some films I see one and that's it for me. But my favorites, including the Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins, and Godfather I and will always watch.

[CrispyQ]

181. I didn't read the book.

I heard it was a little dry. ???

I read an article on how they did the underwater submarine scenes. They were models, of course, but they used a smokey room & no water at all. Funny, huh? Another really creative trick was using different colored lights for the different subs. The Dallas was reddish, the Red October was blue & Tupolev's boat was green. Fab movie.

If you're on Facebook there's a page called Behind the Scenes that's a fascinating look at how they film various scenes.

"You arrogant ass! You've killed us!" I hope I never have to say those words in real life.

[Colorado Liberal]

93. The Princess Bride

Not only the "real" movie, but the Quibi "home movie" version is funny and quirky:

[yellowdogintexas]

128. that "home version" is awesome. I need to watch it again nt

[debm55]

144. That's different. Thanks for sharing with us.

[Jilly_in_VA]

95. Several, off the top of my head

Moonstruck
The Godfather (but only if I can watch all 3, uninterrupted)
Young Frankenstein
The original Star Wars trilogy (screw the rest of them)

[debm55]

99. Good list there Jilly_in_VA. Sometimes I only like the original in a series--Star Wars. The GodFather. the only series

watch is The Lord of the Rings. I do like your other choices and I did enjoy watching them.TY

[ProudMNDemocrat]

96. The Lord of The Rings trilogy in Extended Edition BluRay

There is so much meaning in these films that resonates to today's current political climate.

[debm55]

213. T love that movie. TY

[madamesilverspurs]

97. Murder By Death

Wonderful cast, delicious dialogue. Neil Simon's rapier wit on full display.

[debm55]

147. Thank you ,madamesilverspurs.

[whathehell]

100. The Godfather, Part 1

[debm55]

148. That's the only one I liked and I could watch it over and over. TY

[whathehell]

153. Me too, actually

although I did enjoy the presence of the gorgeous Andy Garcia in Godfather 3.

[AllaN01Bear]

102. space balls . star trek insurections my first ray gun. star trek the one with the whales . independance day

[debm55]

149. What a list! Thank you AllaN01Bear.

[Bayard]

106. Galaxy Quest

Still makes me laugh after watching too many times.

And:
Air Force One
Indiana Jones 1 and 3
Witness
Cowboys & Aliens
Dances with Wolves
Jeremiah Johnson
Legends of the Fall
Silverado
Benny & Joon
The Princess Bride
All of the Alien movies
Men in Black
The first two Terminators
Some of the Star Treks
Signs

If I'm flipping through channels, these are the ones that will stop me.

[debm55]

150. Great and varied list. Thank you for posting.

[NewDayOranges]

107. Blazing Saddles will NEVER not be funny...

[Texasgal]

110. Steel Magnolias

I could watch this over and over again!

[jmbar2]

124. I just saw this for the first time last week...

It was really good! I don't have any streaming service, just pick up suggestions on YouTube. I'm seeing a lot of really good older movies on YouTube lately.

[debm55]

151. Only watch once, it was sad.

[First Speaker]

113. Where Eagles Dare

...I mean, it's utterly absurd. Richard Burton's hairstyle alone would have gotten him arrested on sight in 1944 Germany. And *why*, exactly, do the two surviving traitors want to go down in the cable car, when they would have been perfectly safe if they had just stayed where they were? And at the last scene at the airport, the German "soldiers" in a burning car are obvious dummies. These are just the highlights. Yet I never tire of watching it--absurd as it is, it's gut-wrenching compelling...

[debm55]

145. That's funny.

[ProfessorGAC]

119. Too Many To Name

Runs the gamut from Godfather Part 2 to Roadhouse to The Bourne movies to Some Kind Of Wonderful.
But, it's a LOT!

[debm55]

210. Thanks ProfessorGAC

[Different Drummer]

122. I have a few, in addition to Blazing Saddles.

Inherit the Wind
The Lion in Winter
A Man for All Seasons
2001: A Space Odyssey
Planet of the Apes (the original; I can take or leave the rest in the series)
Soylent Green
Dr. Strangelove
The Producers
The Days of Wine and Roses
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
The Odd Couple
Marty
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
A Fish Called Wanda

All of the above (including Blazing Saddles), I will watch whenever I know they're on.

[debm55]

123. You have one heck of a list there, Liks you I will watch whenever they are on, One I watch is To Sir With Love..maybe

because I was a teacher

[Different Drummer]

135. Forgot to include "Sex and the Single Girl" on my list.

[SWBTATTReg]

127. Independence Day (and Insurrection, the 2nd, follow-up movie)...

[debm55]

157. Thank you for posting your choices.

[TlalocW]

129. Kind of similar to yours as it's a send up of a Western genre ala the Magnificent Seven

Three Amigos.

For those who haven't seen it, I need to explain to set up the video. Basically a village in Mexico is being harassed by bandidos. One of the inhabitants sees a silent film of the Amigos, thinks they're real heroes, and sends a very vague telegram (fewer words to save money) to the actors (recently fired by their studio), who think they're supposed to be putting on a show with local actors.

[debm55]

152. I think I saw that once. How many times have you watched???

[cos dem]

130. Shocked that I'm the first to mention Holy Grail

Any of the Monty Python's are good for a re-watch:

third time.Do you know when the second half of the last season. I read all of Dianne's books but it doesn't end where it should so I think there may be one more book coming out. I did notice something this viewing of the series , Bri put a stone on her fathers grave. I didn;t see that before.

Well if you're going to name Blazing Saddles, I must say, I've seen History of the World Pt. 1 a few times.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

180. Definitely Porky's.

The funniest movie I've seen so far, I can watch it over and over and over...........

There are a lot of great, funny movies out there.

[debm55]

186. Thank you Marine Combat Engineer.

Alien
Star Wars: A New Hope
Jaws
Big Trouble In Little China
The Exorcist
The Caine Mutiny
Wizards
Godzilla (1954)
Legend

[debm55]

196. Great List, OldBaldy1701E, I have seen the Caine Mutiny numerous times. Strawberries!!!!!

[OldBaldy1701E]

211. It is the type of movie I refer to as 'with a cast of thousands'.

Which means pretty much everyone in Hollywood is in it. Like 'The Ten Commandments' or 'In Harm's Way'. Fred MacMurray gave an Oscar-worthy performance and Van Johnson was certainly not the usual hero type. It is a great film and a cautionary tale to boot.

[WestMichRad]

206. The Sting.

Also Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blazing Saddles, MASH (the movie), and In Search of the Holy Grail.

[debm55]

207. I have seen the Sting many times and I like it as much as I did the first time. Awkard blind date but a great movie.

Your choices are very good. TY

[gibraltar72]

208. It's a Mad Mad Mad World.

Maybe not the right number of mads. But I see something new every time I watch it. What a cast.

[debm55]

209. You are correct. They don;t make movies like that anymore. It's a classic TY

[ificandream]

212. Monty Python and the Holy Grail ... this scene is one big reason.

&pp=ygUfbW9udHkgcHl0aG9uIGFuZCB0aGUgaG9seSBncmFpbA%3D%3D

[debm55]

214. That is so funny. TY

[Rastapopoulos]

216. All the President's Men

So many great actors. I know most of the dialogue by heart. And it has a great ending!

[debm55]

217. Excellent choice. Ty

[lpbk2713]

218. Aside from most titles listed above ...

The In-Laws, Alan Arkin and Peter Falk. Both of them are great doing comic roles.

[debm55]

219. Loved those two. Thank you.

[Stuart G]

220. "It's A Wonderful Life" ........with Jimmy Stewart

I think I know every line from that movie...I have seen it at least 7 to 10 times.....and I enjoy it every time.

The most wonderful ending of any movie............

[debm55]

222. I agree. It;s on my "must see" list at Christmas time. TY Stuart.
