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.)

In no order:

The Thin Man
The Philadelphia Story
Heathers
The Cutting Edge
The Breakfast Club
Dangerous Liaisons
Impromptu
The Lion in Winter

These are all the movies I own on VHS, I think. Also, I have to be frank and figure that I have probably watched Heathers the most, in terms of owning it the longest (I still have the tape I made of HBO when it first aired)

LotR trilogy. Multiple viewings of multiple James Bond movies. But that shouldn't count. That's more like, "I want to be in James Bond Land" rather than a comment on the worth of the movies. Probably the same could be said of the original Star Wars trilogy.

Yeah, I think I need to distinguish between movies I've rewatched for extra-meritorious reasons (like, Toy Story 2 because Emmett loved it so much when he was 4, or It's friday night and I'm a teenager in Miami, let's go See Rocky Horror) and movies I have actively rewatched for because I loved the movie itself.

Most watched in a theater in the pre-video era? Bladerunner. I saw that every time it came up on a Rep House calendar for 8 years. Similarly sought out theatrical showings of Touch of Evil and Sunset Boulevard many, many times.

Most watched ever would probably be The Adventures of Robin Hood (Flynn) or The Wizard of Oz - those were regular TV events. If you missed the Wizard of Oz back then, you'd have to wait a whole year to see it.

Most watched double-feature at a Rep House? Harold and Maude/King of Hearts (they always played them together). Nobody even remembers King of Hearts anymore. (Alan Bates, France, crazy people during a war. Same kind of mordant uplifting vibe as Harold and Maude.)

eta: Sophia reminds me that I've had a lot of rewatches on Screwball comedies: Thin Man, My Man Godfrey, The Lady Eve, Ball of Fire, Holiday, Philadelphia Story - all have more than a dozen viewings.

Most watched movies for me are probably:

The Princess Bride
Young Frankenstein
Angel Heart
Fight Club
The Godfather, Parts I and II
Rebecca
Ever After

I don't know what that means, but that's my list.

Edited because Angel is not the same as Angel Heart.

Nobody even remembers King of Hearts anymore.

I love that movie! With the young Genevieve Bujold! I haven't seen it in ages. Must do something about that.

At the risk of being shunned from the board forever, I gotta admit I fail to feel the OMG BEST EVER!! squee about Princess Bride. I mean, I liked it and found it amusing, but that was about it. I have similar reactions to a lot of other cult favourite though (e.g. This Is Spinal Tap and that... uhm, Holy Grail movie of Monty Python's.)

I don't rewatch movies a lot. Of the movies I own on DVD, the one I've rewatched the most is probably My Brilliant Career.

Oh crap, I forgot to add Monty Python and the Holy Grail to my list. It never stops being funny for me.
