observer Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 With TV programming hitting an all time low lately; I've had to start watching my taped films - one I can watch over and over is "The Last of the Mohicans" starring Danial Day-Lewis.

Peter T Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 observer. I'm getting worried about you. You need to get a life. Try a good book. Far better than TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Something simple and funny that makes you laugh. Trains, Planes and Automobiles Or something so complex you need to re-watch it. The Bourne Identity (watching it again now ITV2) Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 How about ... I have nothing - A Shot in the Dark was good and have watched several times oh and then there is Father Goose. Yes, most comedies I can watch again and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 With many cable channels devoted to movies I get to watch the best parts of films I enjoy -- and then switch to another film for a best part. As good as Gandhi was, I cannot devote that many hours to multiple viewings. I've seen Night of the Hunter twice and that was enough. Never saw Lawrence even once -- don't care that much about Arabs or sand or delusionals. I've seen From Here to Eternity a dozen times, and TV versions of the same story several times. That was enough. Even though Jon Rhys Meyers was incredible as Elvis, I've seen that story too many times, couldn't stay tuned. I've seen Love Actually four or five times all the way through on my DVD. Plan to see it a few more times. Seen Casablanca with Bogart at least a dozen times. Think that's about it, milked all the dialog dry. Titanic--- four times, maybe five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLC Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Seven brides for seven brothers i can watch over and over... Chocolat is good too.

Evil Sid Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 MIB, all the alien films, the cruel sea and several of those old ealing comedies. in fact it is usually what are classed as "chick flicks" that i cannot even watch once.

the_nana_jackson Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Blades of Glory promises to be a big giggle .. and don't we all need one of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Blades of Glory IS FUNNY -- saw it last night. I usually don't find Will Ferrell amusing, but this was a good script and well produced by Ben Stiller. Of course I love to watch figure skating and ice dancing.

Jerry Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Ooops forgot to mention Seven Brides for Seven Bros. Have seen it a dozen times, we had the VHS and now the DVD. In fact, most musical films I could watch over and over just as we enjoy our music recordings. With Seven Brides the dancing was awesome, and Cole Porter's KISS ME KATE is a top musical along with Singin in the Rain and American in Paris. Yeah, those are evergreen.

I'm a big fan of Brian Boitano, myself .. have been for decades .. my younger son used to road-race with Mary-Etta .. in the days when little girls weren't supposed to race .. Mary-Etta Boitano, that is .. one race they were both so small they had to run through a flooded river, which came up to their shoulders .. but, hey, they survived ..
