Ireneo_Funes Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I used to have the Straight to Hell soundtrack. It had a couple good songs on it - one by Joe Strummer called "Evil Darling" I liked a lot. The movie's terrible, though! Â Yo Ireno- Burn one for me! CD, that is. Â Squid, I'd love to burn a copy for you, but sadly it's no longer in my collection. It was on vinyl and didn't make it on my last cross-country move.

gslater Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Watched the most times? For me, those would have to be the movies I refer to as the "new classic" comedies: Â Caddyshack (At least 80 times. My brother and I can turn the sound off and quote the whole movie) Â The Jerk (At least 40 times. It was my family's semi-official movie for years) Â Stripes (at least 30 times) Â Vacation (at least 30 times) Â Fletch (at least 30 times) Â Animal House (at least 30 times) Â Trading Places (at least 30 times) Â Airplane (at least 20 times) Â Blues Brothers (at least 20 times) Â Sixteen Candles (at least 20 times) Â Ghostbusters I & II (at least 20 times each) Â Ferris Bueller's Day Off (at least 15 times) Â Groundhog Day (at least 10 times) Â Planes, Trains & Automobiles (at least 10 times, and each year at Thanksgiving) Â A Christmas Story (at least 20 times, including each year at Xmas with my sister) Â Spinal Tap (at least 10 times) Â Waiting for Guffman (at least 10 times) Â Better Off Dead (at least 20 times) Â Austin Powers I & II (at least 10 times each) Â Beverly Hills Cop (at least 20 times) Â Zoolander (at least 20 times) Â Meet the Parents (at least 10 times) Â Dumb & Dumber (at least 10 times) Â There's Something About Mary (at least 10 times) Â The Wedding Singer (at least 10 times) Â Happy Gilmore / Billy Madison (probably 5 times each) Â Wayne's World (at least 10 times) Â And probably several others that I'm just forgetting. Of course, these weren't all full, sit down, beginning-to-end viewings. Lots of them were the "flipping through channels and then see that Fletch is on so I have to watch it to the end" kind of viewings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireneo_Funes Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 For Clash fans, "Rude Boy" is a movie that one could watch more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camilo Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I haven't watched them a million times, but these are too good not to recommend: The Killing Fields the whole Band of Brothers series. I have DVDs of both if any PDXers want to borrow. And I'm not all about war movies, it's just these two just haven't been mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Brazil. Â the Brothers Grimm looks like it could be interesting (also by Gilliam) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Camillo's two picks are right up there for me as well. Eveyone should read The Killing Fields before watching the movie.  Other faves include: Saving Private Ryan Das Boot Last of the Mohicans (for the soundtrack) Black Hawk Down Henry V Terminator  hmmmm, sounds like they're all war/conflict movies... OK, add The Holy Grail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolanr Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I like the caper movies, I've watched "Ocean's Eleven" and "The Italian Job" both quite a few times. The remakes, I've never seen the originals. Another classic comedy is "Old School," don't even know how many times I've watched it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 The only movies worth owning:  Buckaroo Bonzai Road Warrior Fight Club  and the Animated Adventures of Coldplay in Paltrownia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
