What movie have you watched far too much?

[Mr. Blonde]

I have a couple, The Big Lebowski, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and Fight Club being the major offenders.

Do you start quoting movies without thinking about it in everyday life?

[Champ]

1. Blue Streak

3000 Miles to Graceland

Adam Sandler Movies:
Water Boy
Big Daddy
Happy Gilmore
Billy Madison

There are many more.

[ACK]

2. Repo Man

The life of a Repo Man is always intense.

[Khephra]

15. The more you drive,

the less intelligent you are.

[ACK]

74. Look at 'em, ordinary fucking people, I hate 'em.

I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either!

It happens sometimes. People just explode. Natural causes.

I DO want your money, because god wants your money!

[Dogmudgeon]

104. Let's drive!

The life of a Repo Man is ... (fill in the blank).

--bkl
Still crushing over Olivia Barash.

[ACK]

109. always intense?

I think.

_

[jdsmith]

32. Proof positive of John Wayne's sexuality

[tigereye]

53. my husband quotes that one a lot

he loves that movie!

62. there is no way to watch Repo Man too much

Heresy!

That's like saying you've watched the Wild Bunch too much or Once Upon a Time in the West too much.

[Merrick]

71. -

[Armstead]

100. Yeah. ...."Night, Day, doesn't mean shit to me."

That's one I saw a lot of times back in the 80's. Haven't seen it in years though.

[Touchdown]

3. AIRPLANE!

It's a Thanksgiving classic at my family's. Yes, we`re disturbed.

[MissMillie]

121. Airplane for me too!

It's a classic!

[elfwitch]

4. Many and all the time...

Let's see... Hmmm...

Short list:
The Princess Bride
So I Married an Ax Murderer
American Pie (I-III)
Oceans Eleven
Clueless
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie)
Many Mel Brooks movies

There is a really long list.
I quote from them all the time. Between my husband and I it is like we have another language.

[Mr. Blonde]

7. I think I should

probably add Blazing Saddles to the list.

[CanuckAmok]

112. "Fifteen's my limit on schnitzengroben"

"Bitter, Ba-a-a-a-by!"

"Daddy loves Froggie! Does Froggie love daddy?"

"Hey! Where are de white wimmin at?!"

"Are we black?" "Yes, we are.""Bart, I'm so happy to see you...they said you was hung!"

"And they was right!!"

[elfwitch]

114. actually it is

bitte - German for Please

[ElectroPrincess]

9. Animal House & Apocalypse Now

"Guess what I am now?" LOL

"Terminate, with extreme predjudice." <whoa!>

[Political_Junkie]

5. All of the LOTR trilogy,

my son and I quote Gollum all the time. It really freaks people out.

[Mr. Blonde]

10. My Precious n/t

[4_Legs_Good]

61. The Bakshi Lord of the Rings - Part One

Every time I get creeped out by the Jackson movies (which I am not a fan of), I go and watch the Bakshi film, which I think is an UTTER MASTERPIECE. Everyone else on the planet disagrees with me, though.

The first time I saw it on the big screen (actually big wall, projected from an LCD projector) I fell in love with it all over again. Brilliant filmmaking, phenominal score, beautiful animation (stupid looking balrog).

Sorry Jackson! You're a hack!

david

P.S. Just got my DVD copy of Wizards with a director's commentary yesterday! W00t!!!

[Garage Queen]

123. Yep, I'm right there with you. LOTR trilogy.

WAAAAAAAAY too much LOTR. But, I can't get enough of those movies. <sigh> I've seen them all so many times I can quote entire blocks of dialog.

And yes, I *do* quote movie dialog in real life!

[UrbScotty]

6. I've seen "Contact" (c. 1997) a few times

My brother watched it a few times, and I can't believe I watched it with him.

Once was enough, thanks.

[Speck Tater]

8. Little Buddha.

Can't get enough of that movie for some reason.

And the puzzling part is that it's not really a very good movie.

[JCRobinhood]

11. Raising Arizona B-)

[indigo32]

17. Yup

seen that many times. Its funny every time.

[lazarus]

12. fight club

Snatch. Ocean's Eleven. The Crow.

[NewHampshireDem]

13. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels ...

So much so that when I typed the subject to this post, the title came up as an autofill!

Eddie: They're armed.
Soap: Armed, armed with what?
Eddie: Err, bad breath, colorful language, feather duster... what do you think they're gonna be armed with? Guns, you tit!

God do I love that movie!

I'd also have to put "The Matrix" into that category as well.

[Dogmudgeon]

105. I liked LS&2SB, but ...

... I found it very hard to follow.

I've been told to rent it again, get drunk, and watch it with a couple of drunk friends.

The only problems are a) I don't, and can't, drink, and b) I really don't have any friends off-line.

Any hints?

--bkl

[TX-RAT]

14. Tombstone

Lots of great one-liners.

[Mr. Blonde]

21. Yep

its a required viewing when my team goes on a trip. The Big Lebowski is too. Last trip both vans watched it plus twice while we were in New Orleans.

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

67. Not to mention

Val Kilmer is one HOT Doc Holiday...yum!

[StaggerLee]

16. Revenge of the Nerds

Not my fault though! When I was in the service a guy on my ship would always dump it in our berthing compartments VCR every chance he got. There were near fistfights more than a few times over this.

A nerd saw me naked!
:P

[On the Road]

18. For a Variety of Reasons,

I saw "Heaven Can Wait" something like seven times when it came out. Liked the movie OK, but not that much.

[dr.strangelove]

19. Holy Grail

There are some who call me . . . Tim.

[BootinUp]

20. Any Arnold, Clint Eastwood, James Bond, or Star Trek movie

heh

how's that, do I win something? :)

[killbotfactory]

22. Weekend at Bernies, and Cabin Boy

For some reason, when I had cable, they were always on when I had nothing better to do.

[No2W2004]

82. Hey, ya wana buy a monkey?

Cabin Boy, a vastly underrated movie.

In my opinion, of course ;P

[Richardo]

23. I've seen 2001: A Space Odyssey over 30 times...

...but I don't think that's TOO much. :)

And I'm getting up there on "Office Space", too. But once again, it's not TOO much.

[arbusto_baboso]

24. Star Wars, Orgazmo and Brotherhood of the Wolf eom.

[Westegg]

25. I've seen "Miller's Crossing" so many times...

...that lines from it are constantly popping into my head for no real reason, and I also find myself working them into conversations, often to the complete bafflement of whoever I'm talking to.

"What's a matta---somebody hit you?"

"That's a penny you owe him."

"Nobody knows anyone---not that well."

"What's the rumpus?"

"I want me hat."

"We only want yags what been to college."

"I was just speculatin' on a hypothesis."

---"Check it---it's gold!"
---"You know what, yag? I believe you."

"Sister? When I've raised hell you'll know it."

"Nothin' more foolish than a man chasin' his hat."

"Always put one in the brain."

"What heart?"

[TX-RAT]

26. Mars Attacks

[Lavender Brown]

27. Pride and Prejudice

also:

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Sixteen Candles
Grease
The Sound of Music

[Catshrink]

34. Which version?

I love the original with Olivier! Sigh

[Lavender Brown]

38. I do like that 40s one, but I meant the BBC/Colin Firth one.

[Hoping4Change]

52. Me too. Whenever it's on I'll rewatch it. It's the only film I've

have watched more than 3 times. It's so well done and so well cast.

[Lavender Brown]

117. The cast was awesome

I saw Jennifer Ehle (Lizzie) live on Broadway and she was GREAT. Wish she had more film roles.

[CBHagman]

64. I've seen the 1940 version of P&P more than any human should.

During some rough times I've watched that video to unwind and gain some optimism. I can still hear Edna May Oliver's voice in my head:

"Everyone seems to be thanking me today. I'm not accustomed to so much gratitude."

Or words to that effect.

Naturally, I've also seen the A&E version, so don't flame me, Colin Firth fans. :-)

I've also seen To Have and Have Not, Casablanca, Persuasion (1995 version), Young Frankenstein, Sense & Sensibility (1995), The Ref, The Tall Guy, The Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, Much Ado About Nothing and Cold Comfort Farm an appalling number of times.

And yes, I quote movies without thinking about it (it helps if you hang out with the right people). I'll even do the Teri Garr "Roll, roll, roll in the hay" song from YF.

[Catshrink]

28. Spaceballs, Goonies, Men in Black, Shrek

May the Schwartz be with you.

[ceile]

29. Raiders of the Lost Ark

Heathers, Breakfast Club, Jumpin' Jack Flash

[jdsmith]

30. Taxi Driver

Never did try to shoot Reagan, though.

[Bonhomme Richard]

31. Jerimiah Johnson n/t

[DrZhivago]

35. High Fidelity

and I also second Fear & Loathing and the Big Lebowski

[CrownPrinceBandar]

33. The Big Lebowski, Dune, Dr Strangelove to name a few....

and I don't plan to stop watching them anytime soon.

I quote movies all the time. "Lebowski" is a favorite.

"Her life is in your hands, Dude!"

Help! I can't stop!!

[Mr. Blonde]

43. The Big Lebowski

is full of quotes that I say all the time.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

97. "This is our concern, Dude."

"There's a beverage here!"

[jpgray]

108. Sting chews a lot of scenery in Dune

But that scene where Paul points to the styrofoam cone and says 'This is your hardest stone' slays me every time--it just looks so ridiculous. :)

[Tom_Foolery]

36. Cool Hand Luke n/t

[TX-RAT]

39. Can't believe i forgot that one.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

[daligirrl]

87. The sweatiest movie ever made. . .

"What we have here is a failure to communicate!" My favorite line to use at work.

[Tom_Foolery]

37. Cool Hand Luke n/t

[Wwagsthedog]

40. Hoosiers & Silverado

They're best watched with plenty of gin, tonic and lime. Mindless entertainment requiring no mental exersize.

[arwalden]

41. The Women... Every "Thin Man" Movie.... Rocky Horror

All About Eve
Arsenic And Old Lace
I Love You Again
Double Wedding
Liabeled Lady

[Catshrink]

42. Let's do the time warp again....

[Richardo]

48. You can't watch Thin Man movies too much...

...what's your view on "Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House"?

Myrna Loy... :loveya:

[arwalden]

60. I Love That One Too. I Have It On Video And Want To Get The DVD Too

"Home Home On The Range!"

-- Allen

[Xithras]

44. Office Space

...if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire....

It's really not that great a movie, and yet I've somehow managed to watch it twelve times. There are movies that I absolutely love that I haven't watched that many times, and yet Office Space keeps popping up on TV or on friends TV's (I don't even own the DVD or tape!) and I watch it every time.

It's a strange addiction, really.

[Richardo]

56. You're not alone Xithras...

"Nuthin' huh? You don't need a million dollars to do nuthin', man. Look at my cousin - he's broke and he don't do shit."

:D Love that movie.

[4_Legs_Good]

85. PC Load Letter???

It's quoted constantly here in cubeville.

david

[Richardo]

111. Here, too. That and Samir's "This is a F*CK!!"

..at least by me. :evilgrin:

[TrogL]

45. Stargate

Watched it last night on TV even though I've got VSH and DVD.

[Champ]

46. The Truman Show

Definately.

[devilgrrl]

47. Richard Linklater's 'Slacker'

I even made a pilgrimage to Austin, TX because of that movie, I was obsessed with it.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

57. When I lived in Austin....

I went "Slacker"-cruising. I was shown where many of the scenes were shot. I actually saw the "right kind of radio" guy in a hamburger joint over on the East side.

[devilgrrl]

63. I friend who went to U of T knew...

"Hit & Run Son" - I guess he's as weird as he is in the movie.

[Guaranteed]

49. The Big Lebowski

Quite literally hundreds of times. When I was in college I watched it damned near every day.

[slutticus]

50. Aliens

I know that movie word for word....no joke.

[4_Legs_Good]

51. Midnight Run

Funniest movie ever!

Why am I the only person who thinks so?

david

So here come two words for you: Shut the fuck up!

[tigereye]

54. Spinal Tap

High Fidelity - I love that movie!
Harold and Maude
Blade Runner
Harry Potter Movies
Toy Story - when you have a kid you have to see Toy Story over and over and over ( although it is pretty funny)
Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius - that has some great lines, "The intellectuals and always the first to go" and "Never argue with the data."

[ThreeCatNight]

125. Bring on the jokes....Clueless.

Sometimes you just want to stare at the tube and turn your mind off.

[Downtown Hound]

89. MARVIN WATCH OUT!!!

Ha!

[rinsd]

55. Clue....

But not by my own design...this was my sister's favorite movie. For THREE YEARS whenever we rented a movie, she got it. She can still recite dialogue. I just bought her the DVD after watching her warped beyond all recognition VHS tape.

For myself, I have seen Happy Gilmore enough that I have warped at least 2 VHS tapes!

[flamingyouth]

58. The Princess Bride

I've seen it so many times it's ... inconceivable!

[Dogmudgeon]

106. I thought so, too

Maybe not my all-time favorite, but surprisingly good.

I don't usually like "chick flicks" or movies for the teenybopper crowd, but Princess Bride has a universal quality to it. The acting was great, the premise was old but venerable, and the execution was far above what I've come to expect from teen flicks.

I also have to admit to being a fan of Heather Matarazzo, who played Lily, the Plain-Looking Best Friend. It's not a screen crush -- she's a fantastic actor. (Now, in a couple of years, it may be a screen crush :) ) She was also in Welcome to the Dollhouse and Sorority Girls. (Feel free to miss the second one.)

--bkl

[candy]

59. Fargo,and I'll watch it again,too!

[NightTrain]

65. The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Between 1983 and 1994, I attended 537 midnight screenings of that film in three different states! As to whether I actually "watched" it all those times.... Well, if you've been to a screening, you know what I'm getting at!

[Miss Marmelstein]

66. Neil Simon's movies are my favorites.

The Cheap Detective
Murder by Death
Clue

Also the Pink Panther movies are fun to watch many times.

[Crowdance]

68. The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai

It's when I began my unrequited love for John Lithgow.

[ThreeCatNight]

124. Big deal......So what.

Whenever a program asks for a company name, I always use Yoyodyne Propulsion.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

69. I have several

"JFK," "My Fair Lady," "Four Weddings and a Funeral," "Love at First Bite," "Animal House" and "Foul Play" are movies I will NEVER tire of seeing.

[gulfcoastliberal]

70. The Last Starfighter

Logan's Run and Clash of the Titans are also pretty familiar.

[Merrick]

72. Requiem for a Dream - now that one the term 'too much' can apply to

I must be some sort of masochist

also:
clockwork orange
fight club
fear and loathing in las vegas
rushmore

[4_Legs_Good]

77. Requiem is a very hard movie, but phenominal

and with one of the best scores ever!

I haven't watched it enough.

david

[Merrick]

I Know - Its so excruciating, it makes you want to take heroin...

but that's what the movie's about and why its so agonizing. Its a cruel paradox.

[4_Legs_Good]

79. Heh heh

It's kinda fun to watch with people who haven't seen it yet, and then when things start to go down hill you can see it in their eyes (the viewers) that they think things have finally hit rock bottom. You just have to lean back, hold your breath and watch as the floor drops out and things get worse than you could ever imagine.

david

[m-jean03]

73. Lethal Weapon 1-3

I've been told I'm obsessed with those films! :shrug:

I guess it's true. I do love 'em for some weird reason.

[Dan-W]

75. "Young Frankenstein"

"Then... just whose brain... did I put in?"

"Abby.. someone."

"Abby.. who?"

"Abby Normal."

[Southsideirish]

76. "What Lies Beneath" I've seen it about 20+ times.

[SnohoDem]

78. Withnail & I and Young Frankenstein

and I quote them too often.

[Sentath]

80. not too much, but Pleasantville

viewing is something I enjoy.

That and the Brendan Fraser '99 'The Mummmy'.

[Amaya]

81. Office Space

"It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care." :D

[SmileyBoy]

83. Fargo, Bowling For Columbine.

That's about it.

[daligirrl]

84. Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. . .

"Blanche, you know we got rats in the cellar?"

[Lindsey]

86. Office Space and Best in Show.

...that'd be g-r-e-a-t.
"If you dressed like that in my neighborhood, you'd better the the hotel bellboy."

[BlackVelvetElvis]

110. That's my favorite!

I could never see that one enough!

[LDS Jock]

88. The Color Purple

I could do a one man show of the entire movie. I slip into dialog with a coworker who has also seen the movie way too many times. I've also been known sometime back at choir practice to come through the church doors doing my Shug Avery impersonation. I LOVE that movie!

[daligirrl]

96. I know I've seen it. . .

at least 100 times. I own it, though.

[Champ]

90. Chris Farley movies

Beverly Hills Ninja
Tommy Boy
Black Sheep
among others

[No2W2004]

91. Mel Brooks movies

Big Lebowski
Star Wars
Best In Show (LOVE the scene when "Butch" wins her group!:evilgrin:
Cabin Boy
Topsy Turvey (I don't know why, I just like that movie.)

[x-g.o.p.er]

92. Raising Arizona and Apocalypse Now

[Kat45]

93. Blazing Saddles

And I laugh my butt off every time.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

94. Grease. Childhood favorite, so sue me.

[adriennel]

128. me too!

and I will still watch it

[MirrorAshes]

95. Donnie Darko n/t

[cedahlia]

102. Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

;-)

Can't wait for the re-release in theaters this summer. I hope its shown somewhere around here 'cause I missed it on the big screen the first time around.

[MirrorAshes]

107. Me too, can't wait!

Its so cool they are re-releasing it.

[peekaloo]

98. Fargo, Brazil, Shawshank Redemption, Big Lebowski, Miller's Crossing

[Armstead]

99. Road House with Patrick Swazye

It's probably one of the worst movies ever made, but they seem to play it on cable over and over.

I can only watch about ten minutes at a time, but there's something about it that at least sucks me in for those ten minutes. It's just sop baaaad that it's good maybe?

With all the ten minutes here and there, I think I've probably seen it all once.

[GhostThatWalks]

101. Office Space

Somtimes I find myself talking like Lumburg....Yeah...

[Donkeyboy75]

103. Short Circuit, Strange Brew, Beautiful Girls

[OilemFirchen]

113. The Graduate

Have there been any films made since then?

[Loonman]

115. Gangs of New York and Goodfellas

T3, also.

[HuckleB]

116. Raising Arizona and Road Warrior.

[mrboba1]

118. Toy Story...

but not at my choosing

[Insider]

119. West Side Story

you love a boy who killed your brother
leave that boy and find another
one of your ooooown kind
stick your oooown kiiiiiiiind

how can you not check that over and over?

[livinginphotographs]

120. Bladerunner

My favorite movie of all time. I can pretty much say the dialogue along with the movie, but I don't, because that would be obnoxious.

And although it's not a movie, The Simpsons is a thing between my brother and I. We are CONSTANTLY quoting it. The way some people quote poetry to comment on something that's happened, we quote the Simpsons. I'm sure it annoys the hell out of everyone around me.

[Marnieworld]

122. Half Baked!

I guess that's all you need to know about me to know me.:smoke:

[chenGOD]

126. Trainspotting, Office Space and Star Wars(Ep 4 & 5)

Would be the big offenders I guess. AlthoughI think LOTR:Fellowship of the Ring is on Syndication here on Korean TV cause I seem to have seen it about 472 times in the last 3 months.

There are always movies like that on TV though, where you kind of half-watch it while browsing the web, or if you're wasting a night channel flicking.

But movies that I will never get sick of are the 3 I mentioned (well 4 I guess since I included 2 star wars movies). But a friend and I can basically do all of Trainspotting by heart. Nothing to be proud of I guess..

[yellowcanine]

127. "It's a Wonderful Life" I just can't help myself when it comes on every

Christmas. I am also a sucker for "The Dirty Dozen."
