Look at me flakfizer.


Chili Palmer: Martin, look at me.
Martin: I'm looking at you.
Chili Palmer: No, I want you to look at me the way I'm looking at you. Put it in your eyes, 'You're mine, #aw#@sele,' without saying it.
Martin: Like this?
Chili Palmer: What you're telling me, you're tired? You wanna go to bed?
Martin: Wait. How about this?
Chili Palmer: Now you're squinting like you need glasses. Look at me. I'm thinking, You're mine. I &$^%in' own you. What I'm not doing is feeling anything about it one way or the other. You understand? You're not a person to me, you're a name in my collection book, a guy owes me money, that's all.
Martin: How about this?
Chili Palmer: That's not bad.
Martin: That's what I think of you, a#$@#%^%. Nothing.
Chili Palmer: I believe it.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is on the list because Korean movie channels on cable show that movie like there's no tomorrow. Good film, though.

I'd have to say that the two I watch the most are for "background noise". Usually I'm not watching the movie, but doing something else.

The Battle of Britain- Any movie that featured pretty much every flyable Spitfire and Hurricane in existence in it is worth a view over and over. The Merlin engine is one of the greatest pieces of music known to man. Mediocre movie, but its stars (Spitfire, Hurricane, Spanish Build 109s and 111s) are what make it great.
The Civil War by Ken Burns- Can be enjoyed with or without watching it. One of the most moving and oddly soothing movie experiences ever.

Actually watching the movie....

My Dear Enemy/This Charming Girl- Lee Yoon Ki movies are just amazing.
Airplane/Naked Gun/Hot Shots/Spaceballs- Not watching any of them 10 times in a row, but just going through them on the rotation. Add in a few more 80s comedies (I know Airplane was like 79 and Part Deux was like 1993, still...)
M- Fritz Lang's classic.
Casablanca
Tampopo
The ubiquitous Princess Bride, Big Lebowski and Royal Tenenbaums
Amelie
Breakfast at Tiffany's

Any Black & White movie is great for background noise as well. I must have seen TCM's lineup 10X in my sleep (I would fall asleep to TCM on the TV) I love the music and the way people talk in those movies....

if you live in korea and watch cable you probably have no choice but to watch EVERYTHING over and over again!

ad infinitum!

Sniff, thank you. I haven't been here for such a long time, but I saw the shout out and...sniff. I'd like to thank my mom, my...God, and my...4th grade English teacher, Mr. Hamlet, who showed me...so much.

For the record, I had the handle before the flick, but my Av before the flick was Clint the Eastwood.

Hot Fuzz has been the most recent film I've been rewatching. There's something about the shoot out in the end that makes me laugh each time.

I don't get why you would watch a movie more than once.

Maybe 5+ years later because you were drunk or something and you don't remember it anyway. But rewatching a movie you actually remember? Do you read your newspaper twice each day?

I just don't get it. I guess you'll say you get 'pleasure' out of watching it again. But.. you know what's gonna happen! Why why why would you watch it again???

This conundrum frazzles my brain every time I think about it. Go read a book or watch a new movie goddamnyou! (and no, don't RE-read The Catcher in the Rye again you psycho)

Step Brothers

Nancy: You yelled "rape" at the top of your lungs.

Brennan: Mom, I honestly thought I was gonna be raped for a second. He had the craziest look in his eyes. And at one point he said, "Lets get it on."

Dale: That was about the fighting. I am so not a raper!

Why look at a painting twice? Why listen to the same song more than once? Why bother ever having sex again once you pop your cherry?

I can see where you're coming from (a friend of mine feels the same way), but I still find it a completely baffling line of thinking.
