Films that you watch over and over....

One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest
I hated this when I saw it. Was only last year. I didn't hate it for being a bad film, in the end I was cheering, but I hated it for all the memories it brought up. It just made me so angry, all over again, 14 and visiting your ma in the mental ward where people are chemically coshed.

its a difficult one for me, that film. I don't think I'll watch it again despite how great jack nicolson is in it.
 
It is indeed an extraordinary film that I also associate not just with Jack Nicholson but actual 'life.' Same with The Graduate, I used to watch it in segments every day after school, man I was bananas for that film!! I overwatched it, same with Hitchcock's Marnie. When I see photos of my Mum from the time, she had an icecool elegance just like Tippi Hedren.
 
Not going to go through six pages to check, so apologies for any pearoasts.

Predator.
Alien.
Aliens.
The first three Indiana Jones.

And a recent one that I've managed already five times in a few months: Guardians of the Galaxy.

Wut? I couldn't even get through the first hour of GoftheG. Bag o shite
 
The graduate. I have commented on this before, but the more you see it , the more it is an exquisitley worked tale of loathing and misery, sold to the masses as a *delightful* love story. very uncomfortable and very tightly bound.
 
Pandora's Box, starring Louise Brooks. I find this film totally
mesmerizing. Can't count the number of times i have watched it.
Same here. Louise Brooks still feels so modern. She doesn't act in the way we are accustomed to from silent films, her acting style feels naturalistic. She may have been the first major film actor thoroughly comfortable with being herself on screen and that in turn makes the past reach out to the present. And unlike a lot of "sex symbols" of the period her appeal still works. She'd still be gorgeous and stylish by contemporary standards.
 
A fistfull of dynamite...despite the cash in title it's quite a deep film, moving in parts , and first class theme music and imagery .

Long good Friday

Heat .
 
James Caan in The Godfather

"...I don't want him coming out of that toilet with just..a stick.. in his hands..."

...its not even just profanity related - they even fucked up the intro scene of Get Carter where they changed "..they don't want you going up there sticking yer bugle in..."
