Unapologetically stolen from the Book Discussion thread. And now I've asked the question, I realise I can't possibly answer, so I've changed the title to three. Oh, seems I can't edit titles. Anyway... Withnail and I Kes Stranger Than Paradise Smoke
This is tougher than I thought it would be. Hm... Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Pan's Labyrinth Enter the Void I'm sure I'm gonna regret this the day after the apocalypse and wish I would have chosen differently.
Mhmmm... Save three films? interesting..... I'd say lord of the rings, but i'd rather save the books... So then: Princess Mononoke Joyeaux Noel as for the last, i'm split. I'd save Requiem for a dream -- not for the story itself but the content and the message and how potently it delivers it. Then, maybe, All quiet on the Western front, but then i'd rather save the book also. So, I'm going to settle on "The Cranes are Flying".
Any animated feature from Disney. Apparently one can watch those over and over and still enjoy them. Millions of toddlers can't be wrong.
My Neighbor Totoro The first Harry Potter The Goofy Movie Jesus what's wrong with me? I promise there are a lot of complex, adult films that I like but as for movies I could watch over and over and feel happy... these are it.
I'll revise my list. While The Three Amigos alone is enough, I'll add some other rewatchable films to mix it up a bit for the six and a bit hours I'll survive as a scavenger rogue in a post apocalyptic wasteland. The Three Amigos Eyes Wide Shut Apocalypse Now
Dunno, I loved it to the point that I went back to the theater to watch it a second time a week later.
I once watched a movie (at the movies) 6 times in two weeks because I loved it so much and knew it would have a short run. It was also savaged by critics (and rightly so). The clue is my avatar.
1917 John Wick The Mummy (with Brendan Fraser) I agree there are more I could say, like the LOTR trilogy, extended editions (goodness knows I've rewatched those close to 100 times), but for me I think it's the three above although I'd probably hang out with @Malisky to watch Pan's Labyrinth a few times. If that was agreeable, of course.
Ooh, I liked the Brendan Fraser Mummy. It was like an Indiana Jones movie, but good (okay, my view is colored by the more recent installations in the Indy franchise )
Yeah, but Temple of Goons and Palace of the Lexan Skull sucked the sweat off a dead man's... well, y'know.
