fathom Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 08:10 PM) Yeah I have to say my list would probably be embarrassing. I'm not sure there is a movie I've seen 10+ times that I would say is a great movie. This is probably the top of the top. I may have spent a full month of my life on: Office Space Swingers Air Force One Pitch Perfect Lion King Space Jam Bio dome I feel sick. I think I have seen Toy Story 3 approximately 50 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 02:04 PM) Sub-question: What movies have you seen the most in your lifetime? My wife asked me this and I think the answer is office space. I'm pretty sure when I was in high school I'd come home from school and it was on comedy central like every day...and I watched it. Shawshank Redemption. I stop and watch it everytime it's on and it's on a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 02:28 PM) I should add A Christmas Story to that. Was just going to add this after seeing Christmas Vacation referenced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I've probably seen that in the top 20 abouts. I think there was a time period where I saw a crapton of Foreest Gump. That movie can really make you go insane.

knightni Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks to TBS/TNT, I've seen A Christmas Story too many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Ive probably seen National Treasure more than any other movie and not even because its anywhere near my favorite movie, it is just on tv a lot and is an easy movie to jump into at any point. Ive also seen a ton of Independence Day and Goodfellas, but Id imagine at least Goodfellas has to be on a lot of peoples most watched list.

bmags Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Ha, this is great, I'm glad everyone in our age group has a fairly equal list defined by what movies were on cable ad nauseum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think about ones I had to sit through with the kids or ones that were "babysitting" the kids while I worked on my dissertation/homework.

A lot of Backyardigans and Wiggles Concert in the non-movie category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'll add Goodfellas to ones listed as multiple watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Movies that I've seen way too often just for the mind numbing comedy: Old School Hot Rod (I still quote this movie a ton) American Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) I think I have seen Toy Story 3 approximately 50 times I have seen each of them probably 40 times or more. Thank god they're good movies, because the kid makes us watch them non-stop. Edited January 13, 2016 by Chicago White Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 07:42 PM) I got 45 minutes into the Departed and honestly thought "This may be the best movie I have ever seen". Still really love it, just like Goodfellas better. The Departed is just perfection in my book. It came out a week before I got married at age 23 and comes with some awesome memories. It's also just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone must think Khloe is the hottest Kardashian. At this point she is and it's not close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett05 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 02:29 PM) I'm almost positive we've had this discussion before but I've never gotten over the fact that they completely destroyed that story compared to the Stephen King short story. I guess if they would've named it something else, I wouldn't dislike it so much because it might be a decent movie on it's own. But it's just not even close. The only thing the two have in common is the name. I don't recall discussing a book/short story with anyone, but now that I know it exists, I want to read it.

hogan873 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'm sure I'll have to adjust this as time goes on, but here's my list in no particular order: Shawshank Redemption Edge of Tomorrow Terminator 2 Airplane! Pulp Fiction The Wolf of Wall Street Field of Dreams Evil Dead Trilogy Scream Blazing Saddles Saving Private Ryan The Sandlot Monty Python and The Holy Grail Cabin In The Woods Cloverfield Planes Trains and Automobiles I'm sure there are more...

I thought it was with you on the other board. Maybe not? Anyway, read the book if you can. It is soo much better than the movie IMHO. It's by Stephen King but he originally wrote it under his pseudonym "Richard Bachman". You can either find it as a stand alone book or in the collection called The Bachman Books (which also has another one of my favorite stories, The Long Walk). I'm not entirely sure if the book is still in print anymore as the ending mirrors a pretty horrific tragedy in American history. It gives a much better background on the main character and why hes forced to get involved in the games in the first place. The setup of the games is much better as well. The runners are basically free to go anywhere in the world instead of just being limited to a gameshow arena. There's also no sappy love story intertwined either. The ending is pretty dark but fits pretty well within the story. IIRC, we had/have a book thread in here somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
