For movie most watched in the theater, I'd have to say it was the original Star Wars or possibly Grease.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I just saw Brick today and very much loved it. It's not for everyone but I highly recommend it to any fan of Film Noir especially the Hard Boiled Detective type.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Movies I will watch every single time they come on, anywhere:
The Breakfast Club, LotR(s), the Matrices, HHGttG, The Blues Brothers, Wayne's World (yes, I am that sort of person), Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Sound of Music, Funny Face (Audrey Hepburn as bookish idealist turned model! Fred Astaire as freewheeling photographer in love! Awesome dance scene that got turned into not awesome commercial!), The King & I, Monty Python's Holy Grail, probably Life of Brian, too, Instinct, The Art of War.
I recently rewatched Harold & Maude, and I didn't think much of it. I can see how I used to love it, and why, but I just don't think I'm in the same headspace anymore. I wonder if I would feel the same way about Dead Poets.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I just saw Brick today and very much loved it.
I saw that movie a week or two ago, and I watched it with subtitles on just to make sure I actually heard all the lingo. (Interpreting it once you've heard it isn't so hard, but it can take me a while to hear the word properly.) It was like watching my first New Zealand movie ( Once Were Warriors ) all over again!
It was a cute movie, but I'm ready for Indie King Wossname of the Hyphens to play adult roles now.

Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson to co-produce a series of Tintin films
Hmmm, I don't know what a think about that. Live-action Tintin just seems so wrong to me. But that world is probably a good fit for Spielberg. Jackson I'm less sure about.

I think I have to subdivide my Rewatch List into:
Movies I Saw Multiple Times In the Theater
Movies I Bought on DVD (or VHS) and Voluntarily Put In
Movies I Will Stop Channel Surfing To Rewatch
and
Movies I Will Rewatch If There's No Other Interesting Option
Oh, and from above, the guy was talking about the Wise version of The Haunting. In my world, there exists no other. Whatever that recent movie was that was called The Haunting, with characters named the same? It wasn't the same.
