No I was saying that without the comic touches it is doubtful the films would have been made.

Oh right. That's a bit of a shame for me. I realise when they were made Sci-Fi was still one of those genres that was inaccessible to the masses but Kubrick managed it with 2001. I'm just not that keen on Space Operas in general.
I hate to say it but I will: I much prefer Space Balls |

After seeing previous discussions on this thread, actually watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest last night - never seen it before & never read the book, so went into it completely unbiased.
Excellent film, well casted, well acted & stunning performances from all concerned (Danny DeVito put so much into a relatively small role!); I can see where the Oscar nominations came from. All the way through though, I kept thinking "I know that face, I know that face", but it was only when the credits rolled that I realised: I know this chap:
Better as this chap:
...not to mention this chap:
You want versatility? Brad Dourif's yer man

^ Yes, it's a fantastic movie and Dourif's great, but I can't get over where I've seen that other chap who starred in the film... He looked like this:

Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas (lllloooovvvveee the book too, the movie covers a lot but misses and rearranges some parts). Watched that too many times to count... There was a period where I watched that every day religiously. Hunter S. Thompson is my idol, not even because of the drugs, but the WRITING. sidenote: I remember just about every line of dialogue in Las Vegas. Pulp Fiction maybe 5 times... One of my all time favorites, though I only rented the movie once and the rest seen it on tv (ashamed to admit). More like a theatrical act, goes down as one of the best movies of all time. Donnie Darko maybe 8 times? Great movie, makes more and more sense after each sitting. Each of the Austin Powers movies (more when I was a kid, but still those movies are absolute classics) maybe about 10 times or so? I loathe most movies these days, all Hollywood high-budgeted gizmos and gadgets, nothing relies on clever scripts and an amazing story to remember. I ran into this thread when searching to see if anyone ever talked about Fear and Loathing, the book or movie ![]() EDIT: also, it took me about 8 times to realize in Donnie Darko that Donnie's dad makes a remark towards the beginning of the movie saying he had a friend who died recently named FRANK.

Just watched Groundhog Day on TV last night. I think that may be one of the movies I've seen the most times. More than 10 times, probably.

Are you sure? Are you sure you've seen it 10 times and not just the once?

The Red Violin
Crossroads Heartbreak Hotel....totally corny but I love it. A kid who worships Alice Cooper, kidnaps Elvis convincing him to go on a date with his Mom....who is being abused BTW..and it's a hokey 80's film that I can't stop watching. Rosemary's Baby......especially because of the elderly Satan worshippers sect. Polanski really nailed the reality of that. Wings of Desire The Bounty......Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins are so rather outstanding in this film. They do the most solid convincing takes on Captain Bly and Fletcher Christian. Catch 22 No Way Out.....A little hokey at times, but fantastic action scenes such as chases and suspense taking place in a CIA buliding. Kind of an odd plot and a disturbing twist at the end. Eyes Wide Shut....Very realistic. It's scary because of that fact and especially to me personally or any person who has had this type of experience in life. Underworld |

Not counting but I saw at least 3 times the following that I can remember:
- Kubrick's Spartacus - Kubrick's Paths of Glory - Fellini's Amarcord - A Bridge Too Far (one of the best war movies IMO) - Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind - Hell in the Pacific (Marvin & Mifune) There's also a lot that I remember seeing 2 times, one when I was a young dude and the other more recently as an old man like Planet of the Apes (1968), King Kong (1933) and Battleship Potemkin (1925). |

Cold Mountain Leon Schindlers List Godfather Trilogy I can watch any of the above at any time & still thoroughly enjoy them (although I'm not sure the word "enjoy" seems appropriate for Schindlers List, but you know what I mean) |
