Just once? When my niece and nephew were little The labyrinth played constantly. they both now have their own families and copies of this film while I just watch mine if I feel at risk of forgetting a line. I can pretty much recite it from memory.Originally Posted by MmmRavioli
... or at least make a mental note to watch as often as you can.Here's my list, as many I can think of. I'm not including Christmas movies or Easter Movies.
* Rocky series (Every now and then I have to make some popcorn and do a "Rocky" marathon... I often skip part V, but not always, hehe.. definitely my least favorite)
* Beetlejuice
* Who's That Girl (cheesy funny '80s Madonna movie... I liked her in this)
* Eraserhead (I just need to be disturbed sometimes)
* Rocky Horror Picture Show (I try to watch it every October... didn't do it last year)
* 200 Cigarettes (Try to watch it every December... because it's about New Year's Eve... it's so funny)
* Labyrinth
* Detroit Rock City
* King Kong (2005)
* Tommy Boy
* Back To The Future (I disregard the sequels entirely. They suck.)
* Friday The 13th (1980) (mainly just the original... I don't own the sequels, but I'll watch them if I catch them on TV)
* A Nightmare On Elm. St. series (Mostly just 1, and 3-5.)
There are more. But this is a good rounded-out list.
Beyond that I have a standard if I rent a film three times I need to own it because I have already paid the previously viewed price and obviously will watch it again.
Hide and Creep is an absolute necessity before any bbq Like It's a Wonderful Life for Christmas
Events trigger the need for films
We watch Godzilla beforee the OSU/Michigan game.
The first found mushroom of the season triggers a need for The Wozard of Oz
Harvey for New Years
Wizard of Oz
Steel Magnolias
Dirty Dancing
Big Fish
The Barbarian Invasions
It's A Wonderful Life
The Spitfire Grill
The Wizard of Oz
I always have to watch "You've Got Mail" and "Love Actually" around the holidays. They're both just so sweet, and get me all weepy and stuff! Plus, I love to see Meg Ryan back when she was cute, and before her lips got all collagen-ed.
I usually watch "Ed Wood" around Halloween. It's definitely in my Top 10. Johnny Depp in black and white... Mmmmmmmmm!
I remember when I was a kid, they used to only show "The Wizard of Oz" once a year on TV, around Easter time. It's just not the same now that I own it on DVD and can watch it any time.

I may be in the minority with what I'm about to reveal but I am one person who does NOT like the Rocky Horror Picture Show (I've seen in twice; the first time in college) and just didn't "get" it. It's just not the type of movie I like; it was too bizarre for me. I don't really want to ever watch it again. I also don't like horror movies as a genre. Give me classics and wholesome family movies instead please.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
That's strange, considering you're a death hag.
Another Tim Curry guilty pleasure of mine is "The Worst Witch." That's how I was actually introduced to Curry. I had a crush on him even before I saw him in fishnets. "Worst Witch" is a children's Halloween movie that came out in 1986. Also stars Charlotte Rae and Fairuza Balk. I admit, I still like to watch it every so often. I was so excited when I found it on VHS around 1998 or 1999 in a pawn shop for a couple of bucks.
Tell me this isn't epic.

Time After Time (1979) Malcolm McDowell, Mary Steenburgen. Love Malcolm in this one.
Tank Girl (1995) Lori Petty. Guilty pleasure for me, so bad it's fun to laugh at.
Harold & Maude (1971) Ruth Gordon, Bud Cort. I've always seen Maude as the good swift kick in the ass that Harold needed to start living his life.
Stagecoach (1939) John Wayne, Clair Trevor. My favorite version.
Benny & Joon (1993) Johnny Depp, Mary Stuart Masterson. Love the conversation about raisins being humiliated grapes.
Young Frankenstein (1974) Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle. Marty Feldman was a riot in this, the world lost him too soon.
A Christmas Carol (1938) Reginald Owen. It's just not Christmas without this one.
Every year for Halloween I just gotta watch these;
Carnival of Souls (1962) Candice Hilligoss. Makes my flesh crawl, creepy. Love it!
Dementia 13 (1963) William Campbell, Luana Anders. Written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
Dead & Burried (1981) James Farentino. Jack Albertson was fun to watch, very creepy as William G. Dobbs.
The Stuff (1985) Michael Moriarty. Garrett Morris is funny as 'Chocolate Chip' Charlie.
Night Of The Comet (1984) Catherine Mary Stuart, Kelli Maroney. I could watch this one once a week it's so much fun.

My favorite movie of all time is, without question, "The Deer Hunter." (from 1978, with Robert DeNiro, Christopher Walken, Meryl Streep, and John Savage.)
I'd never had a movie affect me like that one did. The first time I watched it, only when the credits began to roll did I remember I was merely watching the story as opposed to living in it. And it stayed with me... just the flavor of it, the mood it brought on... absolutely haunting.
I also loved:
Forrest Gump
The Godfather
To Kill a Mockingbird, and
A Streetcar Named Desire.

I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul! (Invictus)
(And Timothy McVeigh's last words...)
I love John Candy and his movies are my favorites, especially "Uncle Buck" and "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles." I also love "Mask" with Cher in it and "Peggy Sue Got Married" with Nicholas Cage and Kathleen Turner.
Oscar and the Philadelphia Story are tied for first, but I just discovered "the perfect host" with David Hyde Pierce. Loved it.

"The Perfect Host" was a really good movie. Totally unexpected!!

Those are my favorite types of movies... the ones that stay with me for days!
I'll admit I have very strange, eclectic taste in movies. I love a great period piece, and nobody does them better than Merchant/Ivory. "A Room With a View", "Howard's End" and "Maurice" are favorites that I'll watch again and again.
But then, I have to stop and watch every time "Die Hard" and "The Fifth Element" are on. Maybe it's a Bruce Willis thing? I think "The Fifth Element" ranks up there in my top 20 movies. There's just something about it. It's got comedy, action, adventure, drama and romance. And Ian Holm! And Gary Oldman! And the Diva! And a kick-ass soundtrack.
Ms. K mentioned Kill Bill up-thread, my favorite Tarantino movie(s). He's up there in my top 3 directors list. I love his style. I haven't gotten around to seeing Django Unchained yet, though.

Has anyone seen the movie 'Man with a movie camera' by Dziga Vertov? Shot in 1929, it is not a movie per se, but a series of shots taken by the cameraman in Russia as he travels around. Some great footage of contemporary life, with very creative uses of light as well as the camera itself.
I am a sick puppy....woof woof!!!
