I watched this two days in a row while cleaning, laundry etc. my wife came home and said "you're watching this, again?". Blank stare I said "what do you mean"?
It is as perfect

I rewatch the 1st and 2nd Mummy films at least 4 times a year. I still love them. I managed to watch the 3rd Mummy film once. Scorpion King Movie was pretty decent tbh.
Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a fuck what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?
I’ve posted this before, but this is my favorite movie and the original DVD is perfect.
You put the DVD in the player and the movie begins automatically. No previews. No menu. Once the movie ends it starts over again.
You can put the DVD in the player and never hit a button and 6 months later the movie is still playing.
Back when I had cable that was one of those movies I would always watch if I was flipping through the channels and it was on. I could lose an entire afternoon if that channel was airing the trilogy.
Fun fact: in the theatrical release, he actually played “Stairway to Heaven.” But Led Zeppelin got mad about it, and so in every home release, it was changed to a horrible series of bad notes. You cannot find the original audio anywhere. Look for it!
I used to put it on all the time. It was my go to movie. I watched it a least once a month.
2013: my dad died. I was at a showing of the hobbit that night.
Here's the thing. My dad got me into tolkien when I was young. He had the books and toys from the 70s. He read me the hobbit.
He took me to the midnight openings when they came out and let me skip school the next day to let me sleep it off.
Id had major surgery when the extended editions came out, and he bought them for me, and watched them with me while I was high as fuck recovering. Repeatedly. With each audio track.
He'd died overnight, and in the morning when we found him he'd typed out Gandalf description of the death.
"The journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back & all turns to silver glass.. & then you see it… White shores & beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise."
I haven't been able to watch LOTR since.
Holy fuck, mellon. I’m giving you the biggest hug ever. So sorry for your loss & thank you for sharing your story. I hope one day you can let the magic in again, if only so it can intermingle with the grief. 🫶
Bloody hell. I hope, in time, you will be able to share LOTR with the next generation and see it through their eyes to value how your dad saw it through you, and that will help heal you a little bit. Not all those who wander are lost. You'll find your way back. Hugs
I love it when you people say this kind of shit, there definitely IS an unhealthy amount of time… 0 HOURS IS UNHEALTHY! As punishment you should rewatch it again twice!
\"In prison, dinner was always a big thing. We had a pasta course and then we had a meat or fish. Paulie did the prep work. He was doing a year for contempt, and he had this wonderful system for doing the garlic. He used a razor, and he used to slice it so thin that he used to liquefy in the pan with just a little oil. It was a very good system.\"
Hey, you're Mr. Lebowski, I'm the Dude, man. So that's what you call me! That, or His Dudeness, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
Most of it is just okay to me, but the scene where the critic tastes the ratatouille and is emotionally transported to childhood and motherly comfort is so moving.
Pitch Perfect. I spent a couple years in a deep depression, and I watched it every night during that timeframe. Dunno why, it just was the perfect movie to turn my brain off to.
Despicable Me. Atleast 30+, my brother when he was a toddler would want to watch it daily, and happily I’d sit alongside.
We’d learned the lines and had a great time reciting it growing up
A Christmas Story… and not by my own will.
For my whole life my dad has it playing anytime it’s on during December, especially when it’s the 24 hour marathon. I hear “you’ll shoot your eye out” every time I close my eyes 🙃
Omg this move is so moving to me. I’ve watched it on nearly every flight I’ve taken in the past three years lol. It’s so good! What do you love about it talk to me
Blazing Saddles. If I needed to quote a movie at a 75% accuracy or better thats exactly where I'd go.
The jokes are funny as hell and smart. To people who get up in arms about it's more dated parts (use of the N-word) the entire movie is wall to wall making fun of the racists. It shows them as incompetent greedy men at best, and bubbling fools with an IQ of 10 at worst.
Legally Blonde. Original and Best - when Holland Taylor says "If you're going to let one stupid prick ruin your life, you're not the girl I thought you were." Inspired me to leave a tough situation. The film is so great- my niece and I watch it together.
Batman 1989. My VHS copy in the 90’s was basically unplayable by the end with how much I watched it. Me and a guy I used to know could quote the entire movie verbatim between us. It was a skill we both randomly learned that we had.
The Fifth Element
Same. It was my comfort movie that I watched after difficult exams in college.
I hope you multi-passed those exams
As a meat popsicle in culinary school, he passed with 'super green' colors.
I watched this two days in a row while cleaning, laundry etc. my wife came home and said "you're watching this, again?". Blank stare I said "what do you mean"? It is as perfect
Aziz, light!! I say that more than I should…
Much better, thank you Aziz.
I watched it again two days ago after seeing a customer in a Phloston Paradise shirt!
I want a phloston paradise T-shirt!
CorbinMyMan
Multi-pass.
Big boom.
big bada boom.
Green? *super green*

Phil? Phil Connors?
Now don't you tell me you don't remember me because I sure as heckfire remember you!
I watch that movie once a year on my birthday, which is groundhog day.
If you see your shadow on your birthday do you get 6 more weeks of birthday?
i swear i always see groundhog day at least once on reddit, i might be going crazy. edit: fixed grammar

The Mummy. And Beni's still on the wrong side of the riveeeeer!
I rewatch the 1st and 2nd Mummy films at least 4 times a year. I still love them. I managed to watch the 3rd Mummy film once. Scorpion King Movie was pretty decent tbh.
But he had all the horses
This so made me laugh. And I was coming here to say "The Mummy".
My Cousin Vinny
This was on TV almost every weekend when I was a ute.
A hw-what?
Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a fuck what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?
Legally Blonde, my ultimate feel good movie. The message of perseverance motivates me if I'm feeling blue.
You look like the Fourth of July. I want a hot dog, real bad.
The way her valedictorian speech (and its captions) live in my head rent-free 💖
Legally Blonde is my go-to movie if I desperately need motivation to work. I love you Elle Woods, I wish you were real and ran for president. 🩷
My golden Chihuahua played the role of bruiser woods in a local theater production. He was awesome
Bc it makes you feel pink instead?
So you could say Legally Blonde is your desert island movie.
Hot Fuzz
The amount of jokes packed in is amazing. They all act brilliantly, comic timing is on point. Would pretty much always watch if on.
The Greater Good
Yarp
Step Brothers
This thread is a fucking prison!
On planet BULLSHIT
I'm the galaxy of this sucks camel dicks!
He had the craziest look in his eyes, and at one point he said, lets put it on!
I saw my own son use a bicycle as a weapon!
That was about the fighting. I’m so not a raper!
You’re not a doctor, you’re a big, fat, curly-headed fuck!
It’s the f***ing Catalina Wine Mixer.
And Will Ferrell’s “land of the lost“. It gets even better every time you see it.
Stop being a f-ing dinosaur and get a job!

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard.
Remember when they played it constantly on TBS? I watched it constantly back then.
Clerks and The Princess Bride.
Princess Bride for me too. I'm guessing upwards of 20 times.
Clerks was an eye opener while working in a grocery store.
I'm not even supposed to be here today!!!
Back to the Future.
Yes, and I will not stop.
Back when I had cable that was one of those movies I would always watch if I was flipping through the channels and it was on. I could lose an entire afternoon if that channel was airing the trilogy.
Wayne’s World. I had (may still have) it memorized at one point 😂
Fun fact: in the theatrical release, he actually played “Stairway to Heaven.” But Led Zeppelin got mad about it, and so in every home release, it was changed to a horrible series of bad notes. You cannot find the original audio anywhere. Look for it!
No Stairway. DENIED!
Lord of the Rings trilogy
But that still only counts as one
One film to rule them all and in darkness bind them.
I used to put it on all the time. It was my go to movie. I watched it a least once a month. 2013: my dad died. I was at a showing of the hobbit that night. Here's the thing.

I dont think there's an unhealthy amount when it comes to this trilogy.
I love it when you people say this kind of shit, there definitely IS an unhealthy amount of time… 0 HOURS IS UNHEALTHY! As punishment you should rewatch it again twice!
The Ride of the Rohirrim never fails to send chills down my spine.
Just reading this made the song play in my head and gave me goosebumps. Gonna have to watch it again.
