Movies i can watch over and over again.

ok so i got this inspiration while writing my last post and thought i'd make a list of the top movies that i can honestly watch and as soon as their over, rewind and watch again (i do this a lot when i'm sick hahah) so these are in no particular order and only a couple of them are even in my top five favorite movies, but these seem to just have that awesomeness that makes it so you can watch them repeatedly.


1. Dazed and confused.

" there's always going to be some other choice they're gonna try and make for you, but you gotta do want to do man. Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N. " Wooderson.

i know i already said this one in my last post but i just love it so much! and its such a good
movie its the last day of junior year school in 1976, a time this group of teenagers would never forget, if only they could remember haha. its hilarious, but not going to lie it's also made me cry. the real beauty of this movie is that its probably the most realistic high school movie EVER made, and its because of the friendships, i mean did you ever notice how in high school movies the cliques are so strict and crazy. i mean yes there are cliques in high school but they really aren't that rigid, in this movie too there are cliques but some people are friends with members of different cliques, of course not everyone likes each other in the movie just like in real life, and you have to watch the movie a couple times to realize the real dynamics of the friendships. take best friends pink and don for example (the center and right of above picture) they are both football players, but slater, and obvious (above left) is one of there best friends, but slater isn't friends pink and don's football buddies, benny and obanion. and that's how real high schools are! i mean its true not everyone is friends but not everyone is enemies either.

2. Stand By Me

"This is my age! I'm in the prime of my youth, and I'll never be young again!" Teddy Lachamp.

what an awesome movie about friendship and sticking together, another one that's made me laugh and cry. i love period movies and this one takes place in the fifties so the way everyone talks is hilarious, and the talent of such young actors is really amazing. one of River Phoenix's greatest movies in my opinion, and one of the best performances of his short life. i'm just reminiscing about the hard core crushes i had on all these boys (except vern hahah). i think in like eighth grade this movie pretty much owned me and best friend's lives. it's just that awesome.







3. Titanic

"I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it" Jack Dawson.

go ahead and laugh, me heart will still go on.











4. Fight Club.

"this is your life, and its ending, one minute at a time." The Narrator.

This is one of my favorite movies and it is the epitome of awesome. EVERYONE should see this movie before they die, it has the most clever, thought provoking dialogue, and the biggest twist ending. Edward Norton is quite possibly the best actor ever and the fact that he's never won an award and really isn't that famous absolutely shocks and appalls me. Fight club also features the talents of Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter. There really is no way to accurately sum up this movie because it is just so amazing. it's funny at times, violent, sad, confusing, and i think it really says a lot about how humans function. one of the best movies ever made. EVER.


5. Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

"Pure and simple, I want you to marry me, and it's a one word conversation Delysia" Michael.

the critics called this movie a cocktail of a comedy, and i completely agree. it's just delightful! another period piece (surprise surprise) set in london just before world war 2. the story focuses around a young night club singer who wants to make it as movie star, and who cant decide between men. she hires a "social secretary" to help her juggle her boyfriends, and thus Miss Pettigrew is swept up in the glamorous life of fashion shows and cocktail parties. this is one of those movies that you would think could be watched once and that would be enough, but i don't know it just captivated me, and last spring when i had the flu, i watched it four times in one day!


6. the Goonies

"you know what? This one, this one right here. This was my dream, my wish. And it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back. " Mouth.

i grew up on this movie. from the time i was seven to the time i was fourteen i really don't think a week went by where i didn't watch it once. i was pretty much in love with mikey and mouth, and andy was my idol. this is an absolutely amazing eighties classic. the reason i stopped watching it around fourteen was because we only had a vhs copy of it, and that was around the time everything was switching over dvd, and then for my sixteenth birthday one of my good friends got the dvd for me as a joke, and i've watched a couple times since. it's really your standard coming of age story about a group of best friends who are all going to move because the town jackass' father bought the land they live on and is making it a gulf course. on the last couple days they are all together, the friends find a treasure map, and set off to acquire fortune, fame, and hopefully not be forced to separate.




so those are the top six movies i could easily watch over and over again, and a lot of these aren't even on like my top ten list of favorite movies of all times. these ones just have something that makes them re watchable.
maybe one day i'll do a list of my favorites of all time...
