I haven't known what movies to watch lately. Does everyone have their own treasure movies that they've seen many times? πŸ˜€

Marry poppins.

What a good movie.

But honestly, pretty much any movie I saw as a kid.

RIP my parents, I wonder how many times I made them sit through the original Mario bros movie.

milo and otis is an eternal classic for people of all ages

I watched that like 8 times over the course of summer holiday as a teen.

My parents were on vacation, I'd borrowed it from the library and every time some friends visited, they saw the dvd and went "oh lets watch pulp fiction!".

It does lose some of it's appeal around viewing 5, but still enjoyable. But me and my one friend who was there often could almost act the whole movie by the end, so that was fun.

Master And Commander: The Far Side of the Earth.

It's a war movie with an all male cast, and the manliest moment in it is when the Doctor who is doing surgery on himself to remove a bullet from his chest, looks at the captain who is assisting and asks "Are you alright?" And the marine that accidentally shot him is anxiously waiting outside the tent to make sure he's okay. GAH I'm going to the store and buying some beer and some popcorn and I'm watching a movie tonight.

The Other Guys. That has to be funniest comedy I have ever seen.

[–] timsjel@piefed.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

DrΓΆmkΓ₯ken, starring the Swedish actor legend BjΓΆrn Skifs (also known from the Ouga-shaka song "Hooked on a feeling"). Truly a masterpiece in every aspect; acting, direction, editing, special effects, soundtrack. Pure gold.

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Meet the Feebles(1989)

One of Peter Jackson's early films. Think muppets gone bad.

We turned it into our cult classic through high school.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Tron: Legacy (that's 2010) This is probably more driven by limited selection in the cable days than free choice, but I do enjoy these. Not everything has to be a masterpiece to be enjoyable

Demolition Man
Probably most Star Wars between 1-6 Probably Fast and Furious 1, 2, 3.
Jurassic Park 1 and 3 (I swear 2 never aired on cable) Spider Man, Toby maguire, 1 and 2 Probably half the Pirates of the Caribbean
Batman Begins, maybe The Dark Knight
Men In Black, definitely
Shrek
Elf

Honorable mention due to irony: I accidentally watched Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind a second time, forgetting I watched it already.

[–] okcomputer@piefed.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

The first Transporter movie just for the pure nostalgia. If I’m flicking through channels on tv and it’s playing, I will sit there and watch it even with commercials running.

[–] HowlsSophie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Tropic Thunder The Nightmare Before Christmas Hocus Pocus Dr. Doolittle Does Titanic count if I watched it for Leonardo DiCaprio reasons? πŸ˜‚

I watch TNBC every year, usually for Halloween and Christmas. Used to watch Hocus Pocus for the same reason.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

The 1986 Transformers movie. Would rent that every couple of weeks as a little kid.

A night at the Roxbury

Digimon Movie (US)
