    For a while, it was weirdly “Long Kiss Goodnight”. It was getting heavy rotation on TV during my high-school exams, and improbaly watched it 15 times over the few weeks I was meant to be studying.

    But now, probably LOTR extended edition, which I’ve seen every year since it came out, at my friend’s annual birthday celebrations.

    There’s a dumb Italian Horror movie called Del Amore d’ella Muerte (Cemetary Man in English speaking territories) that I absolutely love. It was made in the 90s and stars Rupert Everrit as a graveyard keeper who fights a zombie invasion with his mute assistant.

    Hard to explain but the universe they create is very comfy where he’s drinking red wine and shooting zombies.

    I’m afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:

    2001: A Space Odyssey.
    The Empire Strikes Back.
    Miller’s Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
    A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
    A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard’s seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
    From Russia With Love.
    The Spy Who Loved Me.

      "The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. "

      Queue the goosebumps, we’re in for a hell of a ride.

      That one is probably up there for me when it comes to total watch time (and we combine all 3 movies).

      I’ve seen all 3 in the theatric release initially and after that I’ve watched through the extended editions 2 times. That’s like 30h+ at least.

        Same, except I snatched up both the theater and extended the minute they came out and have watched through them all numerous times. As well as now watched a lot of reaction videos for them, which I guess counts too. It’s fun to reexperience the first time through someone else’s eyes.

        I rewatch The Hobbit trilogy and LOTR (both extended) every year with my wife. I would prefer just watching a fan cut of the hobbit as I don’t think those are very good, but my wife likes them and a happy wife is a happy life.

        So I think I have seen LOTR at least 8 or 9 times and hobbit maybe 4 times.

        That still doesn’t come close to a Swanlake cartoon movie that I obsessively watched 4 times a day when I was around 5 or 6. My parents insist I must have watched it well over 100 times.

    The Princess Bride. It’s such a fun adventure that still holds up really well today.
