Starship Troopers. It doesn't matter what mood I was in, I will be in a better one by the time it finishes. Also makes for excellent background for household chores, once you have the whole film basically memorized.

The Matrix and Die Hard and The Dark Knight Trilogy.

How the hell have neither Mean Girls or The Princess Bride been posted yet?? Those are, like, the most quotable and fun movies ever.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. The premise always sucks me in, can't turn it down. Not a good movie to watch on a date or in the beginning of a relationship though.

Supertroopers and Hot Fuzz

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There's many but the classic action ones, for me, are The Rock, Con Air, Patriot Games, The Sum of All Fears, Air Force One, Starship Troopers, Pacific Rim, and Die Hard/er.

On the lighter side, I'll always watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Superbad, Anchorman, This is the End, Hot Tub Time Machine, Pirates of the Caribbean, Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and The Emperor's New Groove.

True Stories

A small but growing Texas town, filled with strange and musical characters, celebrates its sesquicentennial and converge on a local parade and talent show.

David Byrne of Talking Heads fame visits a typical (and fictional) Texas town, on the eve of the town's celebration of the state's sesquicentennial. He meets various colorful local characters, most notably Lewis Fyne, a big-hearted bachelor in search of matrimony.

rocky horror

The Back to the Future trilogy. It'd only be a slight exaggeration to say I've watched those movies hundreds of times.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Remember the Titans. I don't care if it's 5 minutes in or 5 minutes from the end, I will sit and watch it.

"You make sure they remember, forever, the night they played the Titans!"

Gladiator

I could watch them backwards and still enjoy them.
