Anya ,'Showtime'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I'm not sure how many times I've seen Running Scared, but I can't imagine tiring of seeing it. Love that flick. Adore. So it's on my "want to see again a lot" list.
Oh no. He did not know the answer was ipswitch clams....
Yes, I adore Running Scared, too. And seen it way more times than I can count.

Sean beat me to it (although it's Ipswich, as in the town).
I've seen Ghostbusters so many times I've lost count.
I watch Groundhog Day every Feb. 2.
I've seen Sliding Doors perhaps 20 times.
Other regulars include Blade, The Italian Job, Murderball, A Personal Journey Through American Movies with Martin Scorcese and From a Whisper to a Scream: A Living History of Irish Music. I've seen them many, many times each.
It's a real mood thing. Except for GDay, which is a tradition.
And a 'I need something familiar right now' thing.
And then there is the "I need to share this movie with you or your life will never be complete" impulse.
I've stopped doing that. People never love The Godfather as much as I and I take it personally. For instance.
Aw yeah. I've had the 'huh' response to Firefly toastering attempts and such...but my zeal is strong, my eyes are bright and my ability to think to myself...'they just don't get it right now. Soon enough, they be whacking their foreheads, deeming this movie/show sheer genius and thanking me to the ends of their days for my generosity of spirit in opening their eyes to it.
Or at least that's the way it goes in my head.
I did not get "Firefly" till I saw the whole thing all at once, myself.I was very reminded of Inara in my video last night. Actually, though, all the people who have been "Um, that Homicide thing? Kind of a downer..." is what killed that impulse. Or replaced it with the impulse to say "Well, it is called *Homicide*...it's not like there's no warning..."
HA!
What did they expect, ponies?
I loved Homicide with a burning hot fire. Haven't watched in an age though. But I did notice Andre in a preview for something recently...must IMDB.
He was the heart of it for me. t /stuff that should be in another thread
Most rewatched movies? ita's right, the LOTR movies are way up there, as is The Princess Bride. After that, hmm. Beautiful Thing and Bend It Like Beckham, maybe? Bridget Jones' Diary might be on the list too. Maybe Wet Hot American Summer. Oh, and my childhood favorite, The Last Unicorn. And at a certain point, Harold and Maude would have topped that list, no question. So, I guess that list skews kind of girly, but not, like, Pretty Woman girly.
Yeah...would so pay to watch Andre B. read the phone book...too bad quite a few of his roles post-H:LOTS feel just like that, too.(I liked "Thief" but apparently that audience was me and Braugher's mama, I think.)
