Is somewhere in time the christopher reeve thing? I liked it too.

I've got the soundtrack. It's the score to the movie, and it's really beautiful and relaxing.

 

[Ilov80s]

I've each of these at least 50 times.

Memento

Millers Crossing

Donnie Darko

Terminator 2

Patton

Groundhog Day

Godfather

Can't believe I had to bump Young Frankenstein, Braveheart & Caddyshack

Every single movie you mentioned was either on my list or just barely off it.

[KarmaPolice]

I re-watched 12 Monkeys a couple months back.

Good. Not great.

oh yeah?I watched Indiana Jones the other day, and it doesn't hold up. so there!

1/2 joking. never was a huge fan.

You kind of creep me out.

I will unpack it a little - my guess is these movies fall into the Animal House territory for me. Didn't see an Indy movie growing up for whatever reason, and finally sat down to watch them in college. Thought they were ok, but nothing great. I am sure a bit of that is because I missed something not watching them as a kid. Don't hate them or anything (that's incorrect, I hated the 4th one), but there are probably about 10 other Spielberg movies alone that I would rather put in the dvd player now.

Not even movies from your childhood?

I would be willing to guess that I have seen the 3 movies from the 80s that I listed a good 200+ times. I probably watched each at least week on average when we got the VHS tapes since we only had a couple. They have been out almost 30 years, and I would bet that I have maintained a 10x/year average of watching those.

I don't think so. We only had one TV and it wasn't easy to agree on a movie to watch. Let alone the same move repeatedly.

I've probably seen Shawshank Redemption the most times. I'm pretty sure that number is around 5.

Just re-watched this recently. Great movie. I used to be a hard-core Vertigo guy, but these days Rear Window could be my favorite Hitchcock.

I go round and round with Vertigo, North by Northwest, and Rear Window, but in the end with Rear Window you have a beautifully simple set and premise and you have Jimmy Stewart exceeding his craft and you have Hitchcock getting out of his own way, something brilliant directors sometimes have difficulty doing.

The awkward dialog ruins North by Northwest for me. The other two are really great...

I find that hard to believe. Entertaining, no doubt, but putting it in a top 7 list seems wild to me.

Inception is interesting but overrated IMO. Not sure what people wouldn't like about Memento.

For starters, unless the guy was a tattoo artist or watched a How-to-tattoo-yourself video every day I take issue with the tattooing to communicate/remember concept in general.

He didn't do all of his own tattoos.
