We have a few movies that we can watch forever and never get tired of. This is not an exhaustive list but a few that come to mind that perhaps not on everyone's list:
This movie has more funny lines than you can count. Great acting tops it all. Multiple talents at work here. Marisa Tomei for example won and Oscar for best supporting actress.
If you have ever done a house remodel or bought a vacation house, Funny Farm is for you! We use lines from this movie in our everyday conversations now! Some scenes make you laugh so hard you can't stop.
"Tea anyone?" One of the best lines in this episode in the series. Sean Connery is just great.
Well, if you like one great submarine, you have to love another!
Gene Hackman is great as is Denzel Washington. Lots of great lines in this movie too. Non-stop action and suspense.
OK, so this is a third good sub movie we watch. Shoot me. Great plot. Great presentation. Excellent acting.
From Amazon introduction: "Robin Williams won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck nabbed one for Best Original Screenplay..."
I can watch the back and forth between Robin Williams and Matt Damon a million times. And get some lessons in life:
"You're not perfect, sport, and let me save you the suspense: this girl you've met, she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other. "
Jack Nicholson is superb in this role. And dare I say Tom Cruise does a superb job also. And some fantastic lines there too. The best is one close to the end: "You don't need a patch on your arm to have honor. "
OK, I don't enjoy watching everything in this movie for the 50th time. But some parts are still watchable.
And my all-time favorite:
You could lock me in a cell and just leave me with this movie and I will be fine for a few months, pun intended. Great plot. Great acting. Great lines. I could practically quote the whole movie. But here is an example (which probably makes more sense if you watch the movie):
1967 Parole Hearings Man: Ellis Boyd Redding, your files say you've served 40 years of a life sentence. Do you feel you've been rehabilitated?
Red: Rehabilitated? Well, now let me see. You know, I don't have any idea what that means.
1967 Parole Hearings Man: Well, it means that you're ready to rejoin society...
Red: I know what *you* think it means, sonny. To me it's just a made up word. A politician's word, so young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie, and have a job. What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did?
1967 Parole Hearings Man: Well, are you?
Red: There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a ****.
I will stop here (and not list the obvious such as Matrix and Star Wars). What is on your list of a little less obvious but wonderful movies worth multiple viewings?
