Films you never tire of watching

Thu Dec 07, 2017 8:23 pm

Where Eagles Dare.

It's not often I come across a film I can watch many times over and never get bored of repeat viewings. Something oddly comforting about this film.

Casino Royale too.

Anyone got a favourite?

My missus watches the Harry Potter movies endlessly.

I try and watch Predator at least 2 or 3 times a week.

Sometimes I vary this with Total Recall (80s version naturally) and Star Trek episodes (original series obviously) as a treat every other week.

Blade Runner.

No justification needed. It speaks for itself, and it says 'watch me, I'm excellent'...

The Big Lebowski. Casting, soundtrack, lines of dialogue.... magically given the ability, I still wouldn't change a single thing about it.

Agree. My favourite film. Must have seen it at least a dozen times.
I enjoyed the sequel but with no Roy Batty it was never going to be as good.
