The males of the house all immediately find something really interesting to do.....outside. "Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here, to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen...." "Excuse me, did you just say hello?" "No, I said 'allo, but that's close enough!" :lol: "You have no power over me." And "Smells baaaad!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susankenny Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I've seen "Say Anything" a billion times. I never get sick of it. I love most of the movies from the 80's, including Vacation, Baby Boom, and Funny Farm. My husband and I love Dumb & Dumber, Christmas Story, and It's a Wonderful Life - we've seen those a lot!

Dawn in OH Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Breakfast at Tiffany's is the one I've probably seen the most. Closely followed by Much Ado About Nothing (but that's because the kids put that in whenever they decide it's my turn to pick the movie). Little Women, because my daughter seems to think that is my favorite movie and she always puts it in when she thinks I need "girl time".

Spy Car Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) the 1927 Napoleon by Abel Gance (I wrote a 60-page paper on it!) I saw this at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco, with a full orchestra conducted by Carmine Coppola (Francis Ford's father). What a winderful movie going experience. The 3 screen (triptych) sequences were really impressive especially given the film was from 1927.

JFSinIL Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) I saw this at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco, with a full orchestra conducted by Carmine Coppola (Francis Ford's father). What a winderful movie going experience. The 3 screen (triptych) sequences were really impressive especially given the film was from 1927. Bill Yup - I did three screenings in one week of the same tour of the film (only I was at the Shrine Auditorium in LA) - I even snuck in a small tape recorder to catch the score, and had a notebook in which, in the dark, I wrote down every shot of the film as I saw it - at home after the third screening I did a rough draft of the entire film. Later when it was at the Cinerama dome in Hollywood (recorded score, no orchestra) I did several more screenings as I was using the paper as an Independent Study project at Chapman College - my 60+ page critical essay on the film got me three college credits! I have it on video now - and curse F.F.Coppola who is the jerk who won't let a more complete version of the film (yes, Brownlow has fixed it up even more!!!) with a score by Carl Davis be released here. I will need to go to England to see it someday! I loved this film and wanted to see it since age 11, when the documentary The Charm of Dynamite (about Gance) aired on our local PBS station. I watched it on my 9-inch b/w tv in my bedroom. Shots of the young boy Napoleon with his pet eagle...and the 9-way split screen pillow fight in the dorm room entranced me!!! I wanted to grow up and BE Kevin Brownlow and restore films. Still envy the guy and all the restorations he has done, and books written - I was born just 20 years too late or I would have written The Parades Gone By...and restored Napoleon!!!!!!!! PS - the film was first shown in '27...started shooting in 1925. Gance's earlier works are also impressive!!! Yes, I am a film nerd!

Granny_Weatherwax Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 That would have to be Tombraider. Someone gave me a free VHS copy when I began grad school and I would pop it in every night when I would study. I liked the background noise and the sense of adventure. I watched/listened to it almost every night for about 9 months. As soon as I finished the majority of my courses - and all I had left was my thesis - I stopped watching it and haven't watched it since. The runner up would have to be The Ten Commandments. DH and I have watched this together every year since we began dating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyfaithe Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Rocky Horror Picture Show has to be up there since I used to go watch it every weekend in Berkeley in my late teens/early 20's.

Caroline Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Because I was a teenager in the 1980's, I have seen Top Gun and Dirty Dancing more times than I want to admit. One of these days, Goose will survive the plane crash. Because I teach AP Calculus in the hood, I have seen Stand and Deliver a lot. However, if we are talking about movies I watch now because I love to... Sound of Music (which my DH refers to as Guns and Nazis because he thinks it would draw a bigger audience) and Remember the Titans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
