The LotR Extended trilogy
Contact or Big Trouble In Little China. Love those movies.
There's a dumb Italian Horror movie called Del Amore d'ella Muerte (Cemetary Man in English speaking territories) that I absolutely love. It was made in the 90s and stars Rupert Everrit as a graveyard keeper who fights a zombie invasion with his mute assistant.
Hard to explain but the universe they create is very comfy where he's drinking red wine and shooting zombies.
For a while, it was weirdly "Long Kiss Goodnight". It was getting heavy rotation on TV during my high-school exams, and improbaly watched it 15 times over the few weeks I was meant to be studying.
But now, probably LOTR extended edition, which I've seen every year since it came out, at my friend's annual birthday celebrations.
BTTF
Let the bullets fly. It's a Chinese classic, I watch it with all my friends that have enot heard it before and they all love it.
In the last few years? The Magic Sword (1962) about 7 times I think and I could go for another.
has to be old bud spencer and terrence hill movies, pretty popular in germany. I know there is a couple of them, but they are all pretty much the same anyway. ;-)

Pump up the Volume
Groundhogs Day
Weird
Interesting you got the title of Groundhog Day wrong if you watched it so much.
2001: A Space Odyssey
I'm afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:
2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Miller's Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard's seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
From Russia With Love.
The Spy Who Loved Me.
The clutch powers Lego movie
Just read the reviews on Google and you'll understand
Remind me later, and I'll do it
I have seen Kung Pow: Enter the Fist over a hundred times easily
Every time I drive by a Taco Bell I have to sing, "Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell."
My kids think I'm insane.
Chosen one!
IM COMING
The Life Aquatic. I just absolutely adore the sad, disappointed and fragile characters. Fuckin hilarious!
The Star Wars OT. Probably ROTJ specifically. That was like an every weekend thing when I was a kid.
The Matrix
And the Lobby scene 10 times more than the movie 😅
Ditto!
FIRE WALK WITH ME
Heat.
Kung Fury. It's a short film, so maybe that's cheating. Regardless, I love the writing. It's the perfect blend of absurdity and over the top action. It's a Swedish made film that's a satire of 80's cop and Kung fu movies. Free to watch on YouTube.
Sounds cool, I'll have to watch this the next time we have seen absurd movie night.
