For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It’s such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There’s just that extra something in that movie
What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?
Peter Jackson’s Lord of the rings fellowship, two towers, and return of the king extended editions.
This is my comfort movie series. When I’m tired of dealing with the real world for a while, I’ll watch it in 40 minute stretches for a couple weeks like a TV series
lotr trilogy very good.
It takes me 11hrs to do my hair and this is my go to series to watch while doing it.
The Big Lebowski.
I lie to people about how many times I’ve seen it because I don’t want them to think I’m crazy (if you though about a number, it’s more than that).
Every line of dialogue is simply a masterpiece.The first Matrix!
The cinematic masterpiece form 1999 starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz “The Mummy”
He was handsome, she was hot, great story, action, comedy and a great villain. Classic action/adventure/comedy mix.

The Princess Bride. It has great comedy, action, and romance. It’s influenced my sense of humor and it’s just so much fun.
Absolutely agree. Have really enjoyed passing it on to my two girls as well.
Yes, and now to my grandchildren!
I’ve been listening to Cary Elwes’ book “As You Wish” on audiobook. I haven’t finished it yet, but i’m loving it so far.
Sounds interesting, but I need to know if this is a kissing book.
i literally watched this because of this comment. great movie.
I watched that with my girlfriend who had never seen it. After hyping it up I had a real “just wait it gets funny” feeling the whole time. Not as good as I remember.
I’ve definitely watched it recently and still enjoy it just as much. But also, your sense of humor can change over time so it probably just doesn’t fit what you like anymore.
I have a theory that movie is only funny if you grew up watching it. I saw it for the first time in my late 20s and just could not get into it. I’m sure I have favorites like that, too, and maybe I wasn’t in the perfect mood at the time.
I showed it to my fiance and while I ADORED the rewatch he was very meh and I was questioning him as a person. Then one day he asked me to watch it again so he could watch Andre the Giant again. And then, I’m convinced, it spoke to him and showed him the magic. He loved it. Quoted it. And will watch it with me when I have it on.
I really think mindset and willingness to dive into it is a necessity.
God, what a beautiful movie.
Boogie Nights.
My hetero life partner and I went to see this opening night because we heard Heather Graham got naked… and we’d both been infatuated with her since License to Drive. We ended up going back to the theater at least a dozen times to watch the movie just because it was so goddamn good.
It’s an amazing ensemble cast of actors who were, (with the exception of Burt) at that time, B-list at best. The story is engaging and friendly without reaching too far into hackey territory. We might be able to predict the exact destination, but we can enjoy the journey to that destination as it’s own unique experience. Anderson lets his actors really make the characters their own, so long as they stick to his writing.
In short, it’s an amazing example of what a whole bunch of very talented actors can do when they’re given good material to work with.
I don’t like Mark Wahlberg as a person, but he was amazing in this movie. John C Reilly is the fucking man. Julianne Moore and Heather Graham deliver Oscar caliber performances.
I can’t think of a single bad part of this movie.
Gattaca. The music is superb and the locations are awesomely brutalist. My favorite by a long shot.
The Blues Brothers.
In Bruges.
“I can’t see! I can’t see!” “Of course you can’t see! I just a shot a blank in your fucking eye!”
That duo also did another movie together, The Banshees of Inisherin, which is about a remote Irish island and these two friends who are suddenly no longer friends.
The Blues Brothers. It has action, comedy, cameos, and some of the best music in any film. I will never tire of watching it.
High Fidelity for me. Idk how many times I’ve watched it lol.
Have you read the book by Nick Hornby?
For me, I think it has to be Pulp Fiction. I just recently rewatched it for the umpteenth time and it’s just as great as ever. I find myself quoting it quite often.
A bit of an outsider which is a big hit in my family is “A Good Year” by Ridley Scott, staring Russel Crowe. It’s a nice fun movie and for a family of francophiles like mine it’s a great way of getting a bit of the France we love in the middle of the dark Northern European winter.
It’s a tough call between Fight Club and the Matrix. But id have to give it to the Matrix. That was groundbreaking and it still holds up.
Tremors. It’s just pretty much flawless.
My favorite is The Fifth Element. Love it. Another great movie is The Apartment with Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine
Ooh I just watched The Apartment on Criterion and I loved it. Jack Lemmon is special.
Leeloo multipass!
Leeloo Dallas Multipass…Multipass.
