Every time I drive by a Taco Bell I have to sing, "Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell."

My kids think I'm insane.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Kung Fury. It's a short film, so maybe that's cheating. Regardless, I love the writing. It's the perfect blend of absurdity and over the top action. It's a Swedish made film that's a satire of 80's cop and Kung fu movies. Free to watch on YouTube.

Sounds cool, I'll have to watch this the next time we have seen absurd movie night.

[–] zer0bitz@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

I think Lotr movies.

The Life Aquatic. I just absolutely adore the sad, disappointed and fragile characters. Fuckin hilarious!

The Star Wars OT. Probably ROTJ specifically. That was like an every weekend thing when I was a kid.

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

For a while, it was weirdly "Long Kiss Goodnight". It was getting heavy rotation on TV during my high-school exams, and improbaly watched it 15 times over the few weeks I was meant to be studying.

But now, probably LOTR extended edition, which I've seen every year since it came out, at my friend's annual birthday celebrations.

[–] Summzashi@lemmy.one 4 points 6 days ago

Interesting you got the title of Groundhog Day wrong if you watched it so much.

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

The LotR Extended trilogy

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

has to be old bud spencer and terrence hill movies, pretty popular in germany. I know there is a couple of them, but they are all pretty much the same anyway. ;-)

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

There's a dumb Italian Horror movie called Del Amore d'ella Muerte (Cemetary Man in English speaking territories) that I absolutely love. It was made in the 90s and stars Rupert Everrit as a graveyard keeper who fights a zombie invasion with his mute assistant.

Hard to explain but the universe they create is very comfy where he's drinking red wine and shooting zombies.

[–] RyanLiu@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Let the bullets fly. It's a Chinese classic, I watch it with all my friends that have enot heard it before and they all love it.

[–] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

In the last few years? The Magic Sword (1962) about 7 times I think and I could go for another.

I'm afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:

2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Miller's Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard's seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
From Russia With Love.
The Spy Who Loved Me.
