What movies do you still enjoy watching, even though you've seen them many times over?

Asked by jca2 (16892points) September 14th, 2019

What movies do you still enjoy watching, even though you’ve seen them many times over, through the years?

When you’re flipping through the channels and find a movie that you’ve seen before, but every time you see it, you still enjoy it, or maybe you like to just have it on in the background while you concentrate on something else?

And just about any Bogart or Jimmy Stewart movie.

I’ve seen Blade Runner three times and will watch it again some day. Fargo is another film I’ve seen several times and I’d like to see Burn After Reading again. To name but a few. Oh and Forbidden Planet.

@Jaxk . Good call, on The Last Star Fighter. I haven’t seen it in probably 15 years. Gotta find it, and watch it again…

anniereborn's avatar

@MrGrimm888 It’s interesting to see how jellies differ. (well people in general).
From that list of yours I think there is only one movie I truly like. (Almost Famous)

MrGrimm888's avatar

It’s a great movie. I love lots of movies. But the ones I listed, I have seen dozens, or more times. I haven’t had cable in over 14 years. So, I have DVDs, and streaming services. Most of my streaming services, I split the bill, with others, to get. My Netflix account has 5 people paying for it. That way, it’s like $2 a month, per person. I use friends’ passwords, and such, to stream ESPN, and HBO Now. I traded my Hulu password, for the HBO Now app. So. I’m really only paying like $12 a month, for 5 streaming services… Then there’s always YouTube, for free…

Lots of my friends used hacked Firesticks, and get pretty much anything they want to watch, even stuff still in the theaters. But I don’t have WiFi, so I haven’t bothered with that…

@SmashTheState Have a feeling you like revisiting Carpenter’s The Thing as well. Also, well, I too aims to misbehave once in a while so Firefly is a favorite series to revisit.

@Jaxk The Last Starfighter. Yeah baby.

Dutchess_lll's avatar

Sagacious's avatar

Dutchess_lll's avatar

Sagacious's avatar
