633 squadron
Flight of the phoenix (original and remake)
Yes to both! I remember after first watching 633 Squadron I built a 1/72 scale Airfix De Havilland Mosquito MkVI smile
I've got to say I prefer Mosquito Squadron (David McCallum, 1969) but that has a lot to do with the fact that the Château de Charlon in the film was 'played' by Minley Manor, about 5 minutes ride away from my house and where I regularly hit the mountain bike trails. That said, although I do watch it if it gets repeated, it doesn't go onto my 'never tire of watching' list because it suffers from the common 1960s war film affliction of an excessive amount of 'filler' scenes with a significant love interest.

Just about everything that Jacques Tati made, especially his biggest flop Playtime.

Schindler's List

Don't like it. Should be a brilliant film but the scene with the red coat utterly ruins it for me, that scene just looks cheap n tacky to me.

I forgot these two:-

"Being There" with Peter Sellers. So damned funny I split my sides, (and so damned true too) along with:-

"The Producers", or as it is described "A springtime romp with Adolf and Eva at the Berchtesgarden".

I saw the latter when it opened on the stage in London, and the image of the pigeon giving the Nazi salute brought the house down. A Mel Brooks classic. If you haven't, you must.

Original Gangster No 1.

A genuine question this, but is there another Gangster No 1?

Nice to see somebody else likes that film. I don't think it got the attention it deserved (it deserved a lot).

The Kill Bill films - I will never let them go.

Uma Thurman. :yummy:

Tarrantino and his lust for excessive violence.

Perfect.

Agreed - I probably watch it twice a year.

Remember; when you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack!

There are far too many to list, but a few quickly from the top of my head;

Ace Ventura 1 and 2
What About Bob - its been on every day on cable this past week and I've had it running the whole time.
Underworld Series - love all of them and could view any one of them, any time. I have a huge lust for Kate Beckinsale. wink
Misery - another film that's been playing on cable every day for the past 2 weeks. I can't get enough of this movie, especially the part where she takes a sledge hammer to his ankles. Makes me cringe no matter how many times I've seen it!
The Shawshank Redemption
V for Vendetta
Fight Club
Pulp Fiction
Pacific Heights - remember this one with Michael Keaton and Melanie Griffith? This film was one of the very first DVD's I ever bought. It's on fairly often on any random cable channel. Just one of those films that
never gets old, you know. It has aged well... Can't say the same sadly for Melanie Griffith. Saw a recent photo of her with Dennis Miller, yeesh!! I used to think Family Guy was being overly cruel and judgemental on their artistic interpretation of her but now I realize it was spot on!!! Clearly she has had plastic surgery, and clearly it did feck all to improve her appearance. I'd be embarrassed to show my horrid reconstructed face around town if I had a face like hers. I feel bad for her. But I wonder if these people who get plastic surgery are able to be honest with themselves when it comes out looking likea nightmare!?! Looking like their face is made of wax and they stayed next to a flame for a bit too long.
