    The Big Lebowski. Simultaneously ridiculous and incredibly sophisticated. People who think its "just" a stoner comedy may have some more viewings to go 🙂

    I never realized it was considered a stoner comedy! It's quite a bit better than one I've seen in that category!

    It gets the stoner comedy reputation as the dude is stoned throughout. He's a character in the movie though, not then full tone. That's probably why it's so good. It blends so many genres with an interesting interweaving plot and wonderful dialogue.

    It's a deserved reputation as it's great to watch stoned. Especially when the dude is confused and so are you. Or the psychedelic sequences. However it's also not deserved as it's so much cleverer than that with differen levels. A stoner comedy doesn't normally have a coherent plot and levels.

    Interesting. When my husband suggested we watch it, ages ago really early on in our relationship, I had asked him what category it was. I also asked him just now. Just now he went "Oh that's difficult but broadly speaking it's a comedy". I said "I asked that question of you when you showed it to me like 15 years ago. So you know what you said then?" "No, what did I say then?" "You called it a dark comedy because someone died" (because I was and am sensitive to that) He nodded and said "Makes sense"

    Idiocracy

    There’s something about that close-to-home dystopian outlook that calms me. Now go away, I’m batin’!

    Hackers. Yes, it's corny - cheesy, even - but it had a great cast with awesome chemistry, and it did a great job at capturing the zeitgeist of hacker/punk culture. Plus so many memorable quotes...

    Big Trouble In Little China.

    Marathon Man [Dustin Hoffman, Lawrence Olivier] seems to have been designed for multiple viewings. A character seen briefly in one scene turns up later in the movie. A quick telephone call becomes incredibly important but you have to be paying close attention to every minute.

    Clue.

    Sometimes my friends and I just sit around quoting it until we've made it through the entire movie, so maybe there's no point in rewatching it, but we do anyway.

    For me it's The Matrix.

    I never like to retread old ground, but this one's an exception. It's hard to overstate how much it blew our minds 26 years ago. I might have a soft spot for it too because I was raised sheltered and it was the first rated R movie I saw.

    Liar, liar.

    Nearly every single line in that movie that Jim Carrey delivers is not only funny but his delivery and antics are a work of art. It's like watching Messi dribble the soccer ball. Cary ewles gets an honorary mention for playing the straightman and absolutely killing it.
