5th Element.

One of, if not the best action flick of all time.

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 1 month ago

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

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Idiocracy. Cracks me up every time I rewatch it.

Upvoted for The Blues Brothers! “We’re on a mission from God.”

"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.

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

[–] demesisx@infosec.pub 16 points 1 month 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.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 11 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Rixonomic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Lately, Megamind and Scott Pilgrim vs the World.

Also, Terminator 2, and lots of others that I can't think of right now.

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

[–] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago
[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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." :::
