Surprised no one mentioned Memento.

I'd say that you HAVE to re-watch it to understand wtf is going on.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

for quite a long time following the matrix i rewatched that shit so many times on so many different media that i could pretty much recite the entire movie. it's been quite a while now, so if i ever watched it again i would enjoy it just as much, but my ability to karaoke along would probably be down to 40-50% of the spoken lines.

the fight club is fun to rewatch couple times because you keep seeing new layers of foreshadowing.

up is always a joy, and a guarantee for me to cry twice. i was gonna say tear up but that shit hits me hard i can barely contain myself.

Gattaca. It's just such a well made film.

[-] kralk@lemm.ee 1 points 8 hours ago

The big lebowski almost requires rewatching. It just gets funnier and funnier every time, there are so many little details and quotable lines. "Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man."

Thematically, you can watch the film through different lenses. I remember reading an article about the religious undertones - the dude as Buddha, Walter as Yahweh etc. Makes Jesus as a weird little pervert even funnier.

I rewatched Young Guns recently, and besides the fantastic nostalgia rush, I realized that I had only ever seen the edited for TV version

[-] androogee@midwest.social 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Taking of Pelham 123 is one of the most watchable movies I've seen. The original.

[-] Travelator@thelemmy.club 1 points 10 hours ago

The 1993 Super Mario Bros.

As campy and crappy as it is, it never fails to put a smile on my face and make me laugh, that movie rules.

[-] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 17 hours ago

Agree with many others here. Also: Aliens, Terminator 2, True Lies, Bad Boys, The Naked Gun, Top Secret!, Hot Shots: Part Deux, Deadpool 1-3

Usual Suspects.

[-] WhyFlip@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Prometheus. Such a great movie!

[-] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

We must be thinking of different films...

[-] WhyFlip@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I know it gets lots of hate, but it's a visually stunning movie.

[-] washbasin@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago
[-] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

Porch Rosso and some other ghibli movies I guess.

[-] waz@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Oh man, I watched this a couple weeks ago. It had probably been decades since I last saw it. It was just as awesome/terrible as I remembered.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

ITT: Cults and their followers.

Rush Hour The Lion King Kung Pow LotR Harry Potter

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 17 hours ago

Kung Fu Hustle tops kung Pow for me

[-] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

You're right.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)
  • Rush Hour: The Lion King

    • Carter and Lee take on a nefarious plot to overthrow the king in the African savannah, ultimately foiling Scar's plot and ensuring Simba inherits the throne, whilst working undercover in the Hyena underworld.
  • Kung Pow: LotR

    • The Fellowship of the Fist must face off against Lord Sauron, but first Frodo must train under True Master Gandalf to achieve his destiny.
  • Harry: Potter

    • Detective Harry Calahan must infiltrate a secluded military school in the Scottish countryside as the new DADA teacher, in order to take down an organisation known only as "Dumbledore's Army" led by a single battle-scarred teen known only as The Potter.

Top-tier recommendations, good sir

5th Element.

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

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 14 hours ago

I submit both Crank and Crank 2 as the best, most self-aware action movies of all time.

[-] OopsOverbombing@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Shoot em up should be on that list imo

  • 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.

[-] schmalls@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Down Periscope for sure!

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Naked gun and airplane are GOATS

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

Die Hard and Galaxy Quest.

The pacing of these movies is great. There's really no part of either I'd fast forward.

[-] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

By Grabthor’s hammer, I have to agree.

The Hunt, The Way, Smokey and the Bandit, Clerks, Clerks 2, The Judge, Encanto, Spirited Away, Days of Thunder, Edge of Tomorrow, Nobody, Predator, Real Genius.

[-] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

"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.
