Spike ,'Touched'
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.
Most watched list for me:
LotR (yeah, like that's a big surprise to y'all!)
Groundhog Day
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Aliens (my sister and I watched this tape weekly for about a year)
Star Wars trilogy (saw each of them three times apiece in their initial run, which wasn't surpassed until LotR)
Singin' in the Rain
Wizard of Oz
Adventures of Robin Hood (not to be missed in its annual showing on "Family Classics" on WGN)
Princess Bride
Grosse Pointe Blank
Oh, dude. I forgot about Cusack. Of course I watched Say Anything more often than My Brilliant Career.
don't think I ever sympathised with JD. Loved the movie anyway, though.
I was a bit overly romantic (and into Christian Slater) as a teenager...
I watch it because I love the costumes.My favorite part!
And I agree with the assessment of Veronica becoming strong in a different (although at the very end, a little too similar) way from JD. At the time, I was all about the 'he's just a misunderstood boy who is so so so pretty). Now, it's yeesh...you kids need a nap.
Bring It On
Totally forgot that one! I love that movie.
Alan Tudyk plus Tom and Zoe from Spooks.
And Rupert Graves! And Peter Dinklage!
And Ewan Bremner!
Um. Well, I still remember being a little kid and watching The Little Mermaid once a week or so. For years. Sometimes more often. I can still quote pretty much every word (as I found out when I watched the pretty new DVDs with my neighbor). But I'm not sure if that counts.
Once I was old enough that watching the same video over and over was no longer awesome for its own sake, here are some I've watched a lot of times:
Star Wars original trilogy
The Matrix
The Incredibles
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
American Beauty
Lost in Translation
Mean Girls
Clueless
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Kissing Jessica Stein
Thirteen
Speaking of Christian Slater (weren't we?) and most watched movies. Another that I must confess to seeing 6 times...in the theatre...in one week...is...wait for it...Untamed Heart.
Pump Up the Volume!
...I can't believe I just admitted that. As you were.
Oh goodness, I also loved Pump Up the Volume, although Untamed Heart was the ultimate in woobification... But I think it is more embarrassing because I am, like, 10 years older than you are, I think...
What? Pump Up the Volume was AWESOME!
I was bit mystified as to why they kept casting him as the romantic lead though, because charismatic as he might have been, the dude was *creepy*, yo. He was stalkerish in both "Untamed Heart" and "Bed of Roses", if I recall. By the way, whatever happened to Mary Stuart Masterson? She was so great in Friday Green Tomatoes and uhm, *cough*, Some Kind of Wonderful. t ducks from Plei's wrath
