For me, it’s either the Matrix or Pulp Fiction. I have seen both a lot of times but certainly not more often than say a dozen times.

    Over my entire life, Spaceballs.

    It’s my comfort movie. I saw it when it came out on VHS back in the day, and it just killed me. Still does, particularly Candy’s bits. I fucking miss that guy.

    As an adult, as lame as it may seem, it’s a tie between the first Avengers movie and Fight Club.

    When I was younger, I rewatched Inception plenty of times because it was my favourite movie and because I keep seeing new details, learning new little things about the movie every time.

    I’m not sure why but I will find myself rewatching Catch me if you can every couple of years on a whim. Something about it compels me

    Somehow I stopped watching movies a few years ago, which kind of annoys me but we can’t find time that much for a long movie. Of course binge watching TV series is another thing…

    For me, the three rewatchables were:

    • Stanley Kubrick: Barry Lyndon - If you’re into cinematography and ultra techy perfection, this is the movie. And the main character is such an asshole.
    • Celine Sciamma: Portrait of a Lady on Fire - This beautiful piece hits hard. Celine has an eye for women, and the story how the ladies take care of their own business since the beginning of time is really captivating.
    • Pedro Almodóvar: All About My Mother - A queer classic. I really like the old Almodóvar telenovelas on acid, but this mid-career masterpiece has everything: the cinematography, the crazy characters and the melodrama.

      That mid-Almodovar peak was incredible, now that you mention it. My personal favorite from that time has to be Habla Con Ella (Talk To Her), in parallel Woody Allen filmography terms I would equate it with Hannah & Her Sisters, in artistic achievement.

      Barry Lyndon is currently a rising “underrated masterpiece” topic with most of the best film critic podcasters. My personal favorite film has nearly always been 2001: A Space Odyssey, but I just recently rewatched Barry Lyndon and man… in any other filmography this would have stood alone at the top.
      And we still have the rest of Kubrick’s work to contend with… Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, Paths Of Glory, Eyes Wide Shut… it’s just ridiculous.

      For a long time now, I’ve regarded two people as my artistic heroes of the 20th century: Stanley Kubrick and John Coltrane. Mark Rothko could be up there, too, I cannot imagine my day-to-day life without his work to stop and look at, or to simply have as a presence in my surroundings.

      How could I forget these

      • Hayao Miyazaki: Kiki’s Delivery Service - the perfect movie for a sick day. A guaranteed good mood after.
      • Hayao Miyazaki: My Neighbor Totoro - the kids are some of the best kid characters in any movie ever.
      • Hayao Miyazaki: Spirited Away - cold shiver moments like the train on top of the flooding water.
      • Hayao Miyazaki: Princess Mononoke - how we can finally maybe agree even when we disagree.

      Came here looking for this! I knew I couldn’t be the only fan of the Winchester. I first saw the movie playing at my neighbor dive bar, which was bunker like, and yep, could definitely get with the plan of holing up there until this all blew over.

      All the scenes are great and hilarious no matter how many times I see this movie.

      Fun fact: Have you seen Spaced? The old friend he comes across leading the group through the back fences is a character from a prior show they were both in together.

    Jurassic Park. The practical effects still hold up well and even the CGI is still passable.

    Plus it’s my favorite movie of all time.
