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

  • Star Wars: A New Hope (1977)
  • The Third Man (1949)
  • The Ladykillers (1955)

Probably several others, but those are the first to come to mind.

Repo Man has one of my all time favorite lines.

Harry Dean Stanton.

"I hate regular people. Regular people spend their entire lives running away from tense situations. Repo man spends his whole life getting into tense situations."

Great username.

I still have it on VHS. No machine, just the tape.

I can't believe I had to read so many comments before getting to one that mentioned The Big Lebowski. So rewatchable.

[–] Bubs12@lemmy.cafe 2 points 4 days ago

Seriously! It’s the first movie I thought of. I went to a couple of Lebowski Fests back in the day. So much fun.

Having scanned through the list of movie titles in this thread the one I most want to watch again is The Third Man.

I think of all the movies everyone has mentioned only the Rocky Horror Picture Show is the one I’ve seen more then three times in cinemas. Sure I’ve seen a lot of movies three or more times but only Rocky had Saturday night Midnight showings that I went to for a couple of years.

On second thought the local rep house also played Stop Making Sense for a few months for Friday night midnight dance parties and I’m pretty sure I went to 10 or 12 of those too.
