Ask Lemmy

Muppet Treasure Island
A Muppet Christmas Carol
The Princess Bride
The Great Mouse Detective (the most faithful movie adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, fight me)
Inception
Ghost in the Shell
The Little Mermaid, but not by choice. It was my little sister's favorite movie and she would genuinely watch the VHS tape of it, rewind it, and then watch it again immediately. My brothers and I once entertained ourselves on a family road trip by quoting the whole movie, word for word.

Tremors 1, 2 or 3. Don't bother with 4+ its all straight to DVD nonsense.

Redline (2009) probably the best animated movie of all time (studio ghibli people i will fite u)

Idiocracy is very funny in a not very funny kind of way

Elemental was a fantastic Pixar IP that looks like its going to get some fascinating world building in a sequel

Wow my list would be equally as large as some of the other people which have replied so I’m just going to list the ones I have seen the most -

1. Blade Runner
2. The Duelists
3. Alien

…..and many many more :)

Too lazy to keep scrolling but I haven’t yet seen mentions of Lilo & Stitch (the best movie Disney ever made) and Dark City (the director’s cut and if you haven’t seen it don’t spoil it, just watch it).

…and now I’m seeing a bit of a tone difference between them

World's fastest Indian Happy Gilmore Law abiding citizen

Victor Victoria. Jazz hot baby

A subset ...

• Ghostbusters (1984)
• The Princess Bride
• Wrath of Khan
• Lord of the Rings
• Aliens
• The Bourne Identity
• Life of Brian
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail

• Outlander (2008)
• The 13th Warrior (1999)
• Braveheart (1995)
• Gladiator (2000)
• Waterworld (1995)
• Escape from New York (1981)

These and a few other similar 'epic' movies were my go to lullaby movies for decades.

I'd put them on late and fall asleep to them, but I'd also watch them through sometimes too. And I still throw them on sometimes, just for kicks.

• Office space
• Fight club
• Robocop
• Blues brothers
• Home alone
• Elf
• A Christmas Story
• Die Hard
• Willow
• Star wars (all of them)
• Star Trek (most of them)
• Tremors
• Terminator 2
• John Wick
• Predator
• The equalizer
• Cable Guy

Honorable mention: the countless movies with Paul rudd that played on Saturdays on comedy central

• Monty Python's Holy Grail, Life of Brian and Meaning of life (in that order of rewaches). Although I haven't seen them in years, now that I live somewhere where weed is legal I should do that (never seen them stoned)
• Primer, which if it's not on your list here you either haven't seen it or haven't understood it
• The Mummy and Harry Potter (especially the first couple). They're one of my wife's comfort movies so we watch them every once in a while if she's feeling down
• LotR, although it's more of an event to rewatch them.
• Stargate, every few years we rewatch the TV show when we have nothing else to watch, we do that with some other TV shows as well as it's good background noise to just relax. And since it starts and ends with movies we've watched those several times.
• Pink Floyd's The Wall and Daft Punk's Interstella 5555 are awesome music albums so I have watched those several times
• Hair, similarly love the musics

And although I haven't seen them too many times (but at least twice) Memento is a great movie if you haven't seen it. Also I haven't seen it multiple times but The Strangers is a great horror movie.

Three Days of the Condor

Excellent 70's paranoid thriller.

I posted it to !fullmoviesonyoutube@piefed.social a while back, if you want to watch it.

EDIT: Agh, it was taken down from Archive.org. It's available for free on Pluto though.

Waynes World.. its my guilty pleasure

The Fifth Element comes to my mind immediately. It was my happy place.

The Lord of the Rings, It's what I watch when I felt lost.

Also, Nostalgia, another film I rewatch when I felt not belonging and nowhere to go back to.

Galaxy Quest

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle

Second Hand Lions

The Night House

Dumb and Dumber

I can't believe I didn't see anyone else post it. Mostly I've rewatched it because it was replayed on cable so much but I certainly love it.

Far too many to name, so here's the first 10 that come to mind:

• Ghostbusters
• Star Wars
• Goodfellas
• Aliens
• Clue
• Back to the Future
• Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
• Akira
• His Girl Friday
• Escape to Victory

Primer, mostly to figure out the timelines.

Lots of good ones posted already. Trying to add to the list:

The Princess Bride, La Femme Nikita, My Own Private Idaho, Ong Bak, Ichi the Killer, Kung Fu Hustle, The Matrix, Dai Nipponjin (Big Man Japan)

For some reason as a teenager I watched Fantastic Mr Fox about 17 times over several years. It is a good movie, but I can't say I recommend anyone else watch it that much. Once is enough.

I watch Groundhog Day at least twice a year.

I haven't seen it listed here in a quick scan, so:

Office Space

Most definitely Big Fish. Every time I swear I won't cry; every time I end up sobbing. With snot.
It just hits too close to home. I even had to trigger-warn my 55-year-old dad, to whose home it hits even closer.

Lost Highway VHS got pretty worn out back in the day

So many. i will just list one that i bet most people have not heard of:

the Vourdalak

it’s in french. it is one of the best horror movies i have seen in a while. maybe the best vampire movie since let the right one in. in canada, it is 99c to rent it on the apple store right now

• Month Python and the Holy Grail
• Young Frankenstein
• Seven Samurai
• LOTR Trilogy

I see a lot of LOTR fans here. Good crowd.

District b13, the transporter, fast and the furious 1, 2, and Tokyo drift, nation Lampoon's Christmas vacation, the big Lebowski, 28 days later, resident evil, probably others.
