Your forced to watch one movie everyday for a month
 
but it is the same movie repeated day after day.
The only good news is you can choose which movie that would be.
What movie would you choose and why?

I'd pick something like The Graduate or Dazed and Confused.. a cool flick I can just sit back and enjoy.. Nothing too intense or dramatic.. either that or I'd go with a slapstick comedy that will make me laugh over and over again.. something like Anchorman or 40 YO Virgin..

Hmm, I wish you had just said, DVD's or something. Then I could choose an episode of the Looney Tunes collections out there. Some of those I've probably seen 50 times and could see another 50 more, no sweat. And they're lightweight and don't last long enough to require undivided attention.

At different periods, I'd have said Alien, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, or Heat. They're worth seeing countless times. But since I've already done that, I'm kind of at a loss as to what else I could see that many times that would actually be entertaining, say, at least another 10 times.

Maybe Bride of Frankenstein.

It's brilliant. One of my all-time favorites.

For me it would have to be a comedy. And mine would be an obscure one most of you probably haven't seen (I'm pretty sure it's not available on DVD as I look for it from time to time). This is for strictly personal reasons but the movie would be Serial starring Martin Mull, Tuesday Weld, Bill Macy and Christopher Lee.

Is it depressing like The Great Escape and Von Ryan's Express? I don't think I could sit through either of those day after day for a month. I hope Kelly's Heroes has some comedy in it.

It's an action-comedy. Highly recommended.

Plenty [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] It's probably the movie that made Donald Sutherland a star. Rickles is a hoot too as is the general situation. Even my sister loves this movie and she doesn't like any kind of action or war movies.

Another thumbs up for Kelly's Heros. I'll watch it anytime it's on.
I'll also watch The Dirty Dozen whenever it's on.

I might be able to watch The Sting 30 days in a row.

I cant choose just one but I have a few in several categories that I would choose from and that Ive watched several days straight
comedy : spaceballs or ferris buellers day off.

drama: good will hunting.

action: lethal weapon (which I guess is a comedy too.) Die Hard.

Probably American Psycho, its just so good.

Ocean's Eleven w/Clooney and the boys - it never gets old, offensive, or hard to swallow. It's a very relaxing movie and reminds me of being in the Bellagio.

transformers

or a porn movie

The Girl Next Door. I have never understood why it isn't considered one of the comedy classics of the decade.

I'm thinking Ghostbusters.

Probably my favorite movie 'Goodfellas'

or maybe LOTR, I really enjoy those movies as well.

Kelly's Heroes is a good, off-the-wall one I'd never have thought of, but can see the reasons.


I'd have to see a comedy that you can laugh at over and over. Life of Brian, Spinal Tap or Love and Death, probably.

I briefly thought of Spinal Tap, but there are definitely boring parts to that movie and it would get old. Watching it with the audio commentary by the group is a different story.

Along that line of thought though, I was thinking maybe a silent Chaplin (probably Gold Rush) or a Marx Bros. (probably Duck Soup).

If it comes down to it and you put a gun to my head and I have five seconds to decide it's...

Gold Rush.

It'd have to be something dumb for me like Super Troopers maybe. I can completely turn my brain off and watch that movie

The Big Lebowski, and it's not even close.

nescience 06-30-2007 10:14 PM

Re: Your forced to watch one movie everyday for a month
 
I don't think I'd go for something heavy or dramatic. While movies like Goodfellas, or my favorite City of God, are excellent works of cinema worthy of repeat watchings, I feel the drama might be too burdensome or depressing after a while. So I'd probably pick something lighthearted that would make my day happier and make me chuckle. Something like The Big Lebowski, as mentioned, would probably serve this purpose well, but I'd go for The Princess Bride, because I've probably already seen it 30 times and it never fails to enjoy. I wouldn't mind watching it another 30.

Goldeneye.

Ocean's 11 and Anchorman are good picks too.
