Nah, just 12 hours of extended edition x3. One sitting.

How the hell have neither Mean Girls or The Princess Bride been posted yet?? Those are, like, the most quotable and fun movies ever.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Heat, Groundhog Day, Alien, Blade Runner

[–] halfmanhalfalligator@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Groundhog Day annual rewatch!

[–] Candelestine@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Starship Troopers. It doesn't matter what mood I was in, I will be in a better one by the time it finishes. Also makes for excellent background for household chores, once you have the whole film basically memorized.

There's many but the classic action ones, for me, are The Rock, Con Air, Patriot Games, The Sum of All Fears, Air Force One, Starship Troopers, Pacific Rim, and Die Hard/er.

On the lighter side, I'll always watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Superbad, Anchorman, This is the End, Hot Tub Time Machine, Pirates of the Caribbean, Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and The Emperor's New Groove.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. The premise always sucks me in, can't turn it down. Not a good movie to watch on a date or in the beginning of a relationship though.

Blues Brothers. Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips.

[–] Nusm@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Remember the Titans. I don't care if it's 5 minutes in or 5 minutes from the end, I will sit and watch it.

"You make sure they remember, forever, the night they played the Titans!"

True Stories

A small but growing Texas town, filled with strange and musical characters, celebrates its sesquicentennial and converge on a local parade and talent show.

David Byrne of Talking Heads fame visits a typical (and fictional) Texas town, on the eve of the town's celebration of the state's sesquicentennial. He meets various colorful local characters, most notably Lewis Fyne, a big-hearted bachelor in search of matrimony.
