All of these movies my family sits down and watches at least once a year:
Harry Potter series… All of them.
LoTR/ Hobbit… All of them.
Paul
Strictly Ballroom
Princess Bride
Music Man 1962 version
Court Jester 1955 with Danny Kaye
The Matrix. No other movie is even close
Yup. Insane movie.
Crazy how dog shit all the movies after the first are, though.
I have seen Kung Pow: Enter the Fist over a hundred times easily
Every time I drive by a Taco Bell I have to sing, “Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell.”
My kids think I’m insane.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail or The Fifth Element.
The LotR Extended trilogy
Contact or Big Trouble In Little China. Love those movies.
Spirited away… Something about the first opening notes of the piano when that movie starts always moves me and fills me with such warm feelings.
Honestly most studio Ghibli movies I’ve watched a lot… But man… Spirited away does something to me.
FIRE WALK WITH ME
Strangely enough Shawshank Redemption
Kung Fury. It’s a short film, so maybe that’s cheating. Regardless, I love the writing. It’s the perfect blend of absurdity and over the top action. It’s a Swedish made film that’s a satire of 80’s cop and Kung fu movies. Free to watch on YouTube.
Sounds cool, I’ll have to watch this the next time we have seen absurd movie night.
has to be old bud spencer and terrence hill movies, pretty popular in germany. I know there is a couple of them, but they are all pretty much the same anyway. ;-)
As a child: Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer
As a university student: Heat, Léon, 2001
As an adult, before kids: Sicario, Brick
As an adult, after kids: Cars
What I wish my answer was: Koyaanisqatsi
KOYAAAAAAA
NISQATSIIIIIIIII
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.
The Shawshank Redemption.
