Die Hard and Galaxy Quest.

The pacing of these movies is great. There's really no part of either I'd fast forward.

I'm going to guess you're about 40.

Because that sounds a lot like my list.

[–] ElAndvari@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Hahaha, you got me. I'll be 39 in a few months.

"Alien" (1979) still gets me every time I watch it. The slow build, the pops of horror, the delectable suspense of the Big Chap hunting. I know every scare, every moment of terror, every death by heart... but it still gets my circulatory system going. All other home invasion/haunted house movies can go home, Alien nailed it.

The classics. Back to the Future trilogy, Ghostbusters, Kung Pow, Terminator 2, there's so many!

  • Naked Gun
  • Airplane!
  • Men in Tights
  • Down Periscope
  • La Soupe aux choux (Cabbage Soup from Louis de Funes)
  • Oscar

Yeah, the last one is oddly popular in my country. No clue why. Must be something in the water.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 8 points 3 months ago

Naked gun and airplane are GOATS

Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)
The Italian Job (2003)
Sneakers (1992)

[–] demesisx@infosec.pub 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sneakers is one where a remake might actually be welcomed. I adore the original but spycraft has changed so much. It’s a fascinating genre too. Probably my favorite.

Sneakers

How have I not watched this for years? I used to have it on VHS and watched it so many times. Mainly because I was in love with River Phoenix and heartbroken when he died.

I need to find somewhere to stream it.

LoTR, hunt for red October, most Bond films. The Mummy.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 11 points 3 months ago

Oceans 11, I can watch that when I'm happy, sad, sick, or just on in the background. The perfect heist movie

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thor Ragnarok. Its a perfect mix of comedy and fun

Grandma’s Boy

I haven't seen that movie in ages, but I have watched it many times. The scene that really gets me is when they clean under the sofa and there are numerous cat carcasses.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I'll never not laugh at

"Kane! How many times have I told you to knock before coming into my office?"

"Uh... I did knock but I think the music is too loud?"

"Does it scare you?"

"No... I just don't really like techno."

"You would if you had robot ears."

"Uh.... Yeah. Maybe."

Great suggestions so far. I'll add a few that I didn't see mentioned yet.

Dogma

The Godfather 1 and 2

Tombstone

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The Prestige. There are so many layers to that movie. I've watched it 4 or 5 times, and each time I notice new details.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think on the third rewatch I noticed that the first line of the diary had a different meaning:

::: spoiler !"We were two young men at the start of a great career. Two young men devoted to an illusion. Two young men who never intended to hurt anyone." :::

[–] knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The matrix. The princess bride. Charlie and the chocolate factory.

[–] rizo@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, watching it every year on christmas,... Still laughing my ass off.
