For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie
What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?
Hot Rod. I have watched it 25+ times and I laugh my ass off every time.
Synecdoche.
Cinema Paradiso.
The Third Man (1949) if I had to pick just one. It is cinematic poetry from start to end.
My favourite is Withnail and I. I haven't seen Snatch in quite some time though. I will watch it now, I think
John Carpenter's: The Thing. I have seen this movie well over 50 times in my life, and I will probably watch it 50 more before I die.
Garden State. Not because it does anything particularly great but simply because it's themes and insights to the world were spot fucking on where I was in my life when I first saw it.
Gladiator
It's really hard to say to be honest, so I'm going to go based on the movie I watch the most frequently (and I can back that up with 4ish years of media server stats!), so with a total of 49 views during that time:
Scary Movie. Absolutely hilarious, just about every scene makes me cackle. Scary Movie 2 is also a frequent watch (along with 3 on occasion, 4 and 5 if I'm baked out of my gourd), but that first movie is a pure classic.
Also honourable mention to my 19-views-in-the-same-time-period entry: A Haunted House, also by Marlon Wayans. Fucking hilarious, and has a decent enough sequel too.
My all time favorite movie is Castle in the Sky
Have to list several:
For beauty: Barry Lyndon (1975)
For humor: Bedazzled (1967)
For plot: The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
For characters: The Third Man (1949)
For watching when I'm sick: A Bridge Too Far (1977)
My favorite always changes. Right now, it's Hideaki Anno's The End of Evangelion.
I also really like Chris Marker's Sans Soleil and Ishmael Bernal's Himala.
