Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

Most watched movie for you all?

It's not close for me: Elf.

Actually close is Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Both are because my son cracks up at both of them and has for years. Ironically, I thought both of them were the stupidest thing I had ever seen when I first saw them. Now I absolutely love them and will never say no. Ever.

Aside form those 2:
- Good Will Hunting
- Forrest Gump
- Antwone Fisher
- Tombstone
- Shawshank Redemption

I've seen The Prestige twice in the last 9 days, and I already can't wait for a 3rd watch. I can see this one climbing my own Most Watched ladder very quickly.

I was a fan of her in House of Gucci so I would not mind seeing more of her work and I have been told I need to watch A Star is Born but the plot seems too depressing

It's not depressing at all. It's super not depressing. Very happy and positive.

Bbbbbuuuuut some of my favorite movies are Precious, Silver Linings Playbook, and The Prestige, ssssoooo...

Maybe don't let me lie to you on that first line.

Out of the Furnace is so well done and has an amazing cast. I love the grittiness they capture of the rust belt town.

Christian Bale and Woody absolutely kill it. The rest of the supporting cast is great too. That scene between Bale and Zoe Saldana reminded me of the scene between Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams in Manchester by the Seas.

Don't let that stop from seeing a good flick. It's really happy for a good bit.

For me in my lifetime it would James & the Giant Peach, Space Jam, 3 Ninjas, & The Legend of the Drunken Master. Those were in heavy rotation when me and my brother were little.

This reminds me, how can I forget I've watched Jackie Chan's Who Am I? hundreds of times

Friday After Next. The first Friday is better….but idk why Friday After Next resonates with me so much. I guess cause it’s such an easy watch, and the introduction of new characters (Money Mike & Damon) who stole the show….and who would eventually use Friday as a springboard to launch massive careers of their own. Kat Williams, Terry Crews etc.

I legit watch this at least 2X a year. Cracks me up every time. Never gets old.

Another movie I’ve seen a million times is Last Action Hero, for whatever reason . I think in my mind, I was the black version of that kid.

 

[wavycrocket]

Most watched all time? Probably Home Alone.

Home Alone 2 for me. Def up there

 

[Mark Antony]

Wow, who knew it got that deep.

40 Year Old Virgin

Casino Royale
Man of Steel
Lethal Weapon 2

There’s Something About Mary

Good list. Great idea. Here is mine, off the top of my head. I’m leaving out a whole bunch of 90s black movies (which were GREAT…but the whole genre I could’ve listed)

MALCOM X MOVIE
DEAD PRESIDENTS (LOVE….LOVE THIS)
Superbad
Basic Instinct
Friday Series
3 Ninjas
Goodfellas
The Game
Disclosure
Hoop Dreams
Space Jam
City of God
Training Day
Crooklyn
He Got Game
Last Action Hero
Home Alone 2
Prometheus
Catch Me If You Can
My Girl
Gangs of New York

Coming of Age Movies, Stoner Comedies, Gangster Movies, Black Movies, SciFi and Thrillers. I love Epics too, but can’t think of any off the top of my head. Denzel & Michael Douglas are the best to do it, to me.

 

[getback]

I've seen A Bronx Tale and Jaws dozens of times.

[wavycrocket]

When the Frat Pack had it rollin, they had it rollin. You Me & Dupree.



Wedding Crashers & Step Brothers will get watched every time. Kicking and Screaming underrated too. Know that movie like the back of my hand

And the TBS/TNT/USA movies I’ve watched a million times. So shoutout to Tremors, Problem Child, Double Dragon, Surf Ninjas Etc.
