Rewatchability

Last week that young fella Adaddinsane did a spiffy post about films he likes to watch over and over again. It was a good post, and now it's a meme. Here's the gen;

Rules: 1. Provide a non-exhaustive list of films you'll happily watch again and again; 2. There is no rule 2. 3. Reprint the rules. 4. Tag three other peeps.

So here are mine. Well, some of them...

Withnail & I

L'appartement

Dog Soldiers

Hell Drivers

The Ice Storm

Time Bandits

Fargo

The Big Lebowski

The Lady Vanishes

Dracula (1958)

John Carpenter's The Thing

Die Hard

Dawn of the Dead

Prick Up Your Ears


Deathtrap

The Fugitive

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

The Dark Knight

Key Largo

The Ladykillers

Star Trek II

American Graffiti

The Apartment

Rio Bravo

The Thrill of it all

Mr Mom

As a bonus here are a couple of films I will never sit through again...

Blown Away
The Godfather part 3

Now to pass it on. I tag Laurence, Mr Fox and the man, the legend, "Straight talkin'" Phill Barron (mainly because he called me a bastard last time I tagged him. Tee hee!).

  1. My list is pretty much the same as yours.

    Except the ones which aren't.

    Will that do, you bastard?

  2. That's a rhetorical question, isn't it?

  3. Hell Drivers! Stanley Baker! Just reading that gave me joy - not enough people have seen that film.

  4. Any film with Monica Bellucci in it will always be rewatchable!

  5. MJ - I love Hell Drivers, it's one of my very favourites. If I had to live in a film I would choose that one.

    Kid - Good point, well made. Although... Not sure about Irreversible?
