Title: Your Repeat Viewings
Post by: Scott on October 17, 2007, 09:39:18 AM
This thread is about films you have recently watched over again. (Repeat Viewings)

WHAT ABOUT BOB (1991) - This is a great little comedy starring Bill Murray, Richard Dryfuss, and Julie Haggarty. The comedy here is non offensive and extremely funny in my opinion. The reason I watched it again is that it was playing for free "On Demand" and I thought my daughter would get a kick out of it and she loved it. It was also great for me to revisit this film. Lots of laughs.

 We watched WHAT ABOUT BOB? when I was in rehab. A funny movie!

 Some movies I can watch over and over...they're like comfort food for the soul. A few favorites...

  BRIDE of the MONSTER- This is in my top five Bela Lugosi movies of all time! Tor, the Octopus, and it's by Ed Wood!
  The BRAIN that WOULDN'T DIE- The perfect BAD movie? Close to it...!
   My FAVORITE Lugosi film...the RAVEN!!!! Lugosi get's to act real sadist and loony! A classic! And KArloff too!!!

    A couple of scences from the RAVEN!

Karma about What About Bob?  Funny movie, should pop the dvd in. 

As for me, recently I re-watched Cannibal! The Musical.  That's in my top 10 all time favorite movies.  I didn't watch it for like, 6 months, and I could still quote it. 

Also, Clerks.  Great stuff.

I've seen many of the Universal horror films from the 30's and 40's countless times: starting in childhood when they'd play on the local 'Shock Theatre' to today's DVD releases.

I've seen the Ray Harryhausen films almost as many times.

Even though I enjoy a good 'serious' film, the vast majority of the films I can watch over and over are horror, fantasy/sci-fi, and comedies.

Other films I've seen coutless times that come to mind:
THE WIZARD OF OZ
THE BIRDS (and most other Hitchcock films)
JAWS
FARGO (and most other Cohen Brothers films)
CITIZEN KANE
FEMALE TROUBLE
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (this still comes on ABC at Eastertime, right?)
IT'S A GIFT (and most other W.C. Fields films)
DUCK SOUP (and most other Marx Brothers films)
THE SCARLETT EMPRESS
PEE WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE
STAR WARS
IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD
CITY LIGHTS

RCMerchant, I got to see the first half of MARK OF THE VAMPIRE last night on TCM. Love what I saw of it. Hope to finish when ever it comes on again. Your new Avatar photo reminded me of Bela and the movie.

 I saw it last night too! I wish it had given Lugosi more than one line of dialouge though! Carol Borland was terrific! I think she actually stole the show! Creepy and etheral...cool!  :thumbup:

 My new avatar is a picture of an old Don Post mask from an old Famous Monsters advertisment....I thought a little color would be nice for a change.

That scene where she 'flies' across the cobweb-covered room on those huge wings is one of the most amzing shot in any horror movie!

We've mentioned before how those Don Post masks were the Holy Grail of FM readers. I actually saw one of the Creature From the Black Lagoon masks in an antique store about ten years ago and it was for sale for $200.00!

What About Bob? was actually filmed at Smith Mountain Lake in VA which is about a 45 minute drive from where I live.  Pretty cool.

I hate What About Bob?, the only reason I can think why is because I find it strange that everyone except Richard Dreyfuss finds Bob charming or takes pity on him, just not able suspend disbelief that far.

My repeat viewings:

Big Jake - used to watch this every chance I could
My Favorite Brunette - before infomercials took over this used to air all the time, I love Hope's dialogue and narration, I still say "Hello, Sniv." from time to time, which no one gets.
My Name is Nobody - comfort film, when I need laughs.
Winter Kills - Fell in love with this one when I got it on DVD, a neglected paranoid conspiracy and great black humor satire gem IMO, love the scene with Jeff Bridges and Anthony Perkins.
Murphy's War - my late night or home sick in bed got to film
The Third Man - has a hypnotic effect on me. Also watching this one every chance I got on TV during a major depression became a fixation. May have helped keep me sane at times, I mentioned this in a earlier thread on a similar topic.
Blazing Saddles - used to have this one memorized.
Horror Express - the perfect lazy weekend afternoon or late night movie.
The Terror - another public domain classic that just lives on and on.
Yojimbo - because Toshiro Mifune was the man.
Point Blank - Lee Marvin proving that real badasses don't have to brag or boast. Awesome gangster/ghost story, like a film noir in broad daylight.
The Stunt Man - used to air all the time on a B'Ham station on weekends, had the same sanity preserving effect on me as The Third Man, but to a lesser degree.
The Proposition - My most recent frequent viewer. Every frame is darkly beautiful.

I had a chance to buy "My Favorite Brunette" at the dollar store. Maybe I should pick it up.

I rarely watch movies twice because there are still so many great ones I haven't seen the first time.  Still, as I turn forty next year it seems I've forgotten the details of some of the movies I saw in my teens and early twenties and can watch them again like they were new films. 

I was curious to see Neil Jordan's arthouse werewold movie THE COMPANY OF WOLVES (1984) again because I remember being very impressed by it when it came out, but I heard people trash it occasionally over the years.  Turns out my memory was right, it was full of very vivid images and an engaging, dreamlike story.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/dothestrand/PDVD_094.jpg)   

The only criticisms might be that it was not to subtle in its central metaphor of sexuality as a bestial force that destroys the innocence of childhood, but subtlety is overrated when everything else is working.  Plus, there's several "dog for wolf" shots that are pretty obvious and distracting.  Still, I guess the people who didn't like it just felt cheated out of a generic, predictable werewolf story with lots of gore.  **** out of *****.

I rarely watch a film twice myself. No matter how good it is. There are a few I'd like to see again like DEAD AND BURIED which I saw at the theater and a number of other films I haven't seen in many years. Neat to view films with your later 20/20 B-Movie vision.  :smile:

Took a small video production class in 1995 and we also learnt to watch films differently than a regular viewer. Though I can turn off this super power at will. At least I think I can. :teddyr:

I really love Children of Men.  I saw the movie and then read the book.  They were both very different from each other, but I loved both.

Another fave is V for Vendetta.  I watched Flushed Away on the weekend and it's become a fave as well.  Those singing slugs absolutely kill me! :bouncegiggle:

But I think my absolute favourite right now is Stranger Than Fiction.  I can usually take of leave Will Ferrell, but he does a great job as a straight man and I could really believe the chemistry between him and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Got a copy Sunday for $.50. at Dollar Tree.

I forgot one for my list: Sexy Beast. That cast, that dialogue, the look, the music, the building sense of dread, the quick and messy nature of violence. And Ben Kingsley making you forget he ever played Gandhi.

Goke: Body Snatcher From Hell.  One of my all-time faves.  I recently watched the subtitled Japanese language version for the first time.  It was great, but I think I like the English dubbed version better because of the cheese factor.

 OUTLAW JOSE WALES- Clint Eastwood  westerns are my favorite...and this is my favorie American western. I like the old bird..."Diddly squat."  :thumbup:
 ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW-Ugh! Unfourtanatly...I have been subjected to this time and again by a room full of giggling women. I don't like musicals...with very few exceptions-(ROCK and ROLL HIGH SCHOOL being one of them.)
 The MARX BROS>-Are like Bugs Bunny cartoons...I could watch them forever!
 BEN HUR-A classic!
 FULL METAL JACKET-Every Kubrick Movie I have ever seen has a permanent place in my movie collection...I've rewatched this one almost as much as the SHINING.
 SAVING PRIVATE RYAN is the BEST war movie ever made. Not many films can make me tear-up...but this one can.
 MOULIN ROUGE-My wifey made me watch this. And...I actually enjoyed it-which is odd...because-(see RHPS comment).
Goke: Body Snatcher From Hell.  One of my all-time faves.  I recently watched the subtitled Japanese language version for the first time.  It was great, but I think I like the English dubbed version better because of the cheese factor.

 I saw this subtitled on TCM...WOW! For such a cheezy title...what a surreal movie! GREAT!!!! :thumbup:
