Spirited away... Something about the first opening notes of the piano when that movie starts always moves me and fills me with such warm feelings.

Honestly most studio Ghibli movies I've watched a lot... But man... Spirited away does something to me.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail or The Fifth Element.

Joe Versus The Volcano (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0099892/) is my all time re-watch movie. So many themes, great cinematography, and very mythic.

If you've never seen it, your in for a treat!

As a kid, it was a cartoon - The Little Mermaid. As an adult... It is a cartoon - Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse.

I have a few that will be very close as I decided a bit over a decade ago to limit myself to one rewatch a year of each to stop myself sucking all the joy out of them:

  • Alien - my favorite survival horror

  • Aliens - my favorite Nam movie

  • Jaws - my favorite version of Moby Dick, although I really like Godzilla Minus One take on Jaws

  • Jurassic Park - best big stompy monster film for me

  • Lord of the Rings - this is always over Christmas. Its not faithful enough for me to the books but it still manages to be an outstanding Trilogy.

  • Emperors New Groove - favorite body swap film

Probably The Naked Gun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Ben-Hur. Loved it in my youth, when TV still aired this kind of movies regularly, and I absolutely love it and like to review it from time to time. There are others I've watched again lots if times (Star Wars, The Matrix...) but Ben-Hur is number one.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The Matrix. No other movie is even close

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Yup. Insane movie.

Crazy how dog shit all the movies after the first are, though.

Tron Legacy, the vibe is captivating.

Seven/ Se7en I know most of it's dialogue by heart. Went to see it at the theater when it premiered and stayed to watch it three more times, it blew my mind! I had never seen anything like it. It is my favorite movie of all time.
