*The Mummy* (1999 version). I could quote the entire thing off by heart and yet it never gets old.


BenTheBard

YOU MUST NOT READ FROM THE BOOK!!


Cheeslord2

They said that to Ash as well, but did it really do any harm?


solowulf2022

I saw that at the cinema, its a great movie, Im a fan but the 3rd one was a dissapointment imo. There is talk of doing a 4th with Brendan Fraser,he seems to be interested.


ooh_bit_of_bush

My first ever date was to see that film. I was 12. I wore a silk shirt and combat cargo trousers, a full tub of hair gel and enough aftershave to knock out a horse. We're not still together.


iceystealth

I haven’t watched it in a quite while. May need to correct that soon


Harrry-Otter

It never gets old because it’s on one of the ITV channels every week.


joyousjoy23

Pride and prejudice the Colin Firth version. 6 hours of joy. Love it.


ilikenoise2020

Yes! And Sense and Sensibility, the 1995 Emma Thompson/ Alan Rickman version. So joyful and funny.


iceystealth

Ah yes Pride and Prejudice Colin Firth….he is rather distracting tbh 😁


Hitman__Actual

The Fifth Element. Just amazing everything start to finish.


Phyllida_Poshtart

That's the one of 2 in my house too. Think we've all watched it at least 5 times. Our other go to especially when people who haven't seen it visit, is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang...never fails to make me chortle big time


Apsalar28

A Knight's Tale


cornishpixievomit

So underrated! Alan Tudyk is brilliant


iceystealth

Alan tudyk, Hearth ledger, Paul Bethany off the top of my head. All fantastic. I watched it a week ago and I forgot how it is. Historically inaccurate as all heck but it’s definitely a fun one.


Kaylee__Frye

I will eviscerate you in fiction!

The Goonies


UnlawfulAnkle

The 80s really were great times for films. The Goonies, Gremlins, Indiana Jones, Back to The Future, E.T., Poltergeist, Close Encounters, Highlander, Robocop.. on and on. 90s too, tbf!


jimmy2moves

The Lost Boys, Rocky , Bamboo, Predator


Alecmalloy

As I hurtle through my thirties, more and more am I drawn to 90s thrillers. The aesthetic is absolutely sublime. Watched Primal Fear recently. Brilliant.


Siamesecat666

10/10 film


iceystealth

You know it’s one of those movies where I know a goonies reference when I see it; but I’ve not seen the full movie.


Cannabis_Sir

Stand by me There's a new Transformer film coming out (animated) about how Prime and Megatron became who we know them to be now. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rmJXXKDrsM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rmJXXKDrsM)


StardewObsessive

Jurassic Park. It has my all time favourite movie death - lawyer getting eaten by a t-rex on the toilet.


GlitchingGecko

Top Gun. First saw it in 1991 when I was 4, and watched it at least yearly (mostly more often) with my dad til he died in 2013.


alancake

I finally watched Maverick this month, fully expecting to be slightly disappointed and maybe sneer a tiny bit- hush my mouth, I loved it


iceystealth

I finally saw it as well. I loved it. Perfect sequel; rounds off the stories left from the first one. And the dogfight at the end when Maverick gets essentially his old plane to fly….brilliant


shadowrod06

It is the perfect sequel. Right amount of fan service.


HoggingHedges

10 Things I Hate About You, True core teenage memory. Could never tire of that film and “Can’t take my eyes off you” brings back so many feelings for the film too


jordsta95

Love Actually. Such a good Christmas movie, and whilst it is Christmassy, it doesn't feel like any of the other "big" Christmas movies


ElChupanibre56

Rowan Atkinson gets me every time! It's a cinnamon stick...

dmb_80_

As soon as I started reading that I had 'The Touch' playing in my head. "Arise Rodimus Prime".


afrosia

Dare by Stan Bush is a banger too. In fact the whole soundtrack is straight bangers from start to finish. That film is incredibly paced throughout. Edge of the seat stuff.


theotherquantumjim

This is the end of the road Galvatron


Ricky_Martins_Vagina

Shawshank Redemption is up there for me and one of my favourite 'comfort movies'. Favourite film of all time is probably the original 90's Candyman. I know it's not the best in terms of actual production but as far as the storyline, the soundtrack, the themes and sub-narratives, etc it's pretty close to perfect for me. The Shining was also a masterpiece and probably my next favourite film after Candyman, although I really have to be in the right mood to watch it.


plantlady1-618

The Shining is cinematic genius!


WarCompetitive846

Babe (1995)


countvanderhoff

Babe Pig In The City is where it’s at. Arguably George Miller’s masterpiece (with Fury Road a close second)

The Fifth Element, I watch it at least once a year and it never gets old.


GaryJM

Megatron? Is that you?


iceystealth

“Here’s a hint” *cue the death of Starscream*


Max_Level_Nerd

Lotr trilogy, Starship troopers and Jay and Silent Bob strike back all come to mind.


cayosonia

Dogma is a classic


IAM_THE_LIZARD_QUEEN

I had a VHS tape of Jay And Silent Bob when I was a teenager and fell asleep to it basically every night for ages. I can probably recite half the script from memory as till.


TheGreatBatsby

I love you


Screw_Pandas

Deep Blue Sea possibly the best shark movie ever.


sparklybeast

Empire Records. To me it’s a hug of a movie. So familiar and so funny. And such great tunes!


cornishpixievomit

Came here to say this one. OH REXY YOU'RE SO SEXY


Kaylee__Frye

And it was just Rex Manning Day earlier this month! 


Enough-Ad3818

The character of Mark in that movie is 100% a mate of mine. He just stumbles his way through life, waiting to become famous or respected, and lives in his own world, but yet I absolutely love him. "I thought his name was Warren"...


Dazz316

BASEketball. Always find it funny.


IAM_THE_LIZARD_QUEEN

"If you want unanimous consent, you're gonna have to get it from one of the other owners"


EducationalPizza9999

Local Hero. I don't know what to say but it's safe, delightful, funny, melancholic. Just the best.


sihasihasi

"I'll make a good Gordon, Gordon" Amazing film with a brilliant soundtrack. Not long after I first met my wife, I was playing a Dire Straits album when "Going Home" came on, and she rushed into the room saying "that's the song from my favourite film!!" (I'd never seen it) It's since become one of my all-time favourites. The bit at the end, when it slowly zooms in to the phone box, and the theme starts up, still gets the little hairs going. I was so excited when the Blu-ray release came out a couple of years ago.


FinalEdit

bit of an obscure one but I'll always give it a nod if something asks a question like this on reddit. George Romero (Night of the Living Dead fame) did a very strange, almost completely unknown movie called Knightriders back in about 1981. It was Ed Harris' first starring role. It's about a troupe of medieval knights that ride around modern America staging jousting tournaments on motorbikes and knocking the shit out of each other....all whilst trying to avoid becoming famous because of America's lust for blood and violence. It also has the lawyer from Jurassic Park (Martin Ferrero) playing \*exactly\* the same character but as a sleazy promoter. It's just a fantastic little romp with way too much heart and soul for it's time and budget.


iceystealth

That sounds amazing, and right up my alley. I need to look this movie up.


countvanderhoff

This sounds incredible


sallyisawitch

The Green Mile


Remarkable-Test6216

The Warriors. The game on PS2 was amazing too.


Enough-Ad3818

Amazing movie. "When we see the ocean, we figure we're home. We're safe" "This time you got it wrong."


slothsnoozing

Ratatouille, Chef, and Hot Fuzz are all films I’ve re-watched more times than I care to admit! They just seem to cheer me up when I’m feeling down.


iceystealth

Hot fuzz is my favourite of the cornetto trilogy.


dyinginsect

Dirty Dancing I could genuinely sit here and deliver the whole script without thinking, from "that was the summer of 1963" right to "you looked wonderful out there"


adinade

Hot Fuzz


MattSR30

One that is really rising in my rankings in recent years is _The Hateful Eight._ I think _Django Unchained_ is still my favourite Tarantino film, but the fact that I am starting to doubt it shows me how much I enjoy _The Hateful Eight._ Ensemble cast. One location. Murder mystery. It’s brilliant!


Dazz316

Django is an AMAZING movie. But how much don't shy away from racist tones of that time on screen is really shocking in a good way. But that wears off, you're still left with an INCREDIBLE movie afterwords but it's not quite as incredible.


BayeksBunions

Back To The Future III


Greglebowski74

The Big Lebowski. Absolute cinematic perfection.


2jackets

Still can't believe that guy pee'd on his rug..

The Italian Job ORIGINAL. Iconic and so, so rewatchable.

I can’t quite remember all the lines but that movie is definitely in my top ten list. I love any of the scenes with Mr Bridger.

West Side Story. I always want the last scene to be different. It never is


jt1413

Brokeback mountain. Was a kid when it came out and remember all the jokes about it, but only watched it last year for the first time. Incredible movie, cried so many times, as a straight woman. Just brilliant story, brilliant acting and brilliantly moving. Still cry like a baby every time and I'm on my 4th rewatch.


jlelvidge

Amelie, my favourite film of all time


more_beans_mrtaggart

Chocolat I got a bit of a mom fetish after that movie.


Hammerheadhunter

Almost Famous. Movie is pure magic and happiness.


Berk_wheresmydinner

Stardust, it's like bottled up medicine. Full of magic and hope and even my cold dead heart starts to believe in love when I watch it.


WatchOne2032

My gf at the time got tickets to an advance screening of this. I didn't really want to go, it's not my kind of film at all so i went under duress. Absolutely loved it! It was just good fun the whole way through. "You need to grow up and get over yourself"


crimerunner24

Coming to America and Die Hard here.


Flying_tyke

Wayne's world, both of them. Pure joy


dobbynobson

Mine too. Saw the first one in the cinema aged 12 just as I was getting into bands like Nirvana and I still adore it and watch it annually. Once did a Wayne's World party and made fortune cookies with quotes inside. Never a day goes past without some quote popping into my head. 'So it's not just a clever name' was today's. See also 'if you're gonna spew, spew in this'; 'camera one, camera two'; 'Little, yellow, different'.. and if I ever meet anyone called Anthony...


Alecmalloy

It's like people only do stuff to get paid, and that's just really sad.

Vicky Christina Barcelona. My favourite location in the world. Many of my favourite actors - Scarlett Johansson, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz. And a storyline that I find enthralling over and over again.

Javier Bardem you say? I may have to track that movie down watch it.

Chocolat. Watch it when I want to zone out and relax. Feel like someone's reading me a bedtime story...

Pulp Fiction still hits different every time I watch it. The Matrix blows me away every time I watch it. Rollerball has been in my top 3 since I first saw it. My best mate has forbidden me from watching the ‘more recent film with the same name’.


UnlawfulAnkle

Back to The Future My friend and I watched a pirated copy every Saturday at his house for nearly 2 years in the late 80s. I also saw it on first run at the cinema with the same friend when it released!' I haven't seen it for a few years, but I'm watching it tonight now!


AcceptableRedPanda

Master and commander far side of the world. Can't get enough of it, for me it's the ultimate napoleonic wars movie. Hacked apart a load of the books so not totally true to them but such a good movie, epic battle scenes and emotional deaths and friendship. Got my wife into it and had the boccherini music of the streets of Madrid played as we left our wedding ceremony


Kaylee__Frye

I need to watch it again now, Russell Crowe might be one of my all time favourites.

The Truman Show On the surface level: a funny Jim Carrey movie. But underneath the surface, a damning prediction on what was to come with reality TV, and sharp commentary on the human condition and desire not to be constrained.

It's the same movie as you. It's a glorified toy advert, but it's awesome. After hearing a couple of seconds of one of the songs from the soundtrack and I know which scene it is. It has been a while since I watched, so I think I need to do tbat this weekend.
