Die Hard and Galaxy Quest.
The pacing of these movies is great. There's really no part of either I'd fast forward.

I haven't seen that movie in ages, but I have watched it many times. The scene that really gets me is when they clean under the sofa and there are numerous cat carcasses.
I'll never not laugh at
"Kane! How many times have I told you to knock before coming into my office?"
"Uh... I did knock but I think the music is too loud?"
"Does it scare you?"
"No... I just don't really like techno."
"You would if you had robot ears."
"Uh.... Yeah. Maybe."

Hot Tub Time Machine
I just watched Hot Tub Time Machine for the first time the other day. The ending is incredibly messed up. They come back and stuff is different but they don't have memory of the last 20 years? They just overwrote the new timeline versions of themselves. And Rob Corddry isn't even sad about it, he's basically like screw those guys that I've built my life around I got my messed up friends back.
The rest of the movie is pretty good though.

The Prestige. There are so many layers to that movie. I've watched it 4 or 5 times, and each time I notice new details.
I think on the third rewatch I noticed that the first line of the diary had a different meaning:
::: spoiler !"We were two young men at the start of a great career. Two young men devoted to an illusion. Two young men who never intended to hurt anyone." :::
Clue
Children of Men, The Boondock Saints, I Origins.
Used to be The Matrix as well, but I'm kind of over it now.
Children of Men is so good. I love this thread because I'm seeing mentions of so many great movies that I used to watch all the time but I realize it's been ages since I've last seen them.
Idiocracy. Cracks me up every time I rewatch it.
Yes, yes, yes. I don't get to watch it often these days, but it's always so much fun. Now go away, I'm baitin'.

The Mummy, The Princess Bride, The Devil Wears Prada and Jurassic Park never get old for me.
Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski, LOTR, Akira, Blazing Saddles, The Matrix, Shaun of the Dead, Friday, and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I'm going to guess you're about 40.
Because that sounds a lot like my list.
Hahaha, you got me. I'll be 39 in a few months.
Amadeus
LOTR. Dumb and Dumber.
LoTR, hunt for red October, most Bond films. The Mummy.
The Princess Bride, obviously.
When I was a kid, I watched this and Labyrinth so much. I'm pretty sure I have both on dvd if not bluray. I feel like I need to pull them out.
Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)
The Italian Job (2003)
Sneakers (1992)
Two of those have been remade, are we talking only the originals?
Heck no!
(Updated post for clarity)
Sneakers is one where a remake might actually be welcomed. I adore the original but spycraft has changed so much. It’s a fascinating genre too. Probably my favorite.
Red teaming is probably less interesting cinematically now.
I’ll watch anything in this genre though so don’t let my skepticism slow anyone down from trying
Sneakers
How have I not watched this for years? I used to have it on VHS and watched it so many times. Mainly because I was in love with River Phoenix and heartbroken when he died.
I need to find somewhere to stream it.
Think i saw it on Freevee or Tubi just last week. Oooorr maybe not. Just looked and couldn't find it. I know I saw it available free with ads somewhere cause I'd just talked about it with someone and then noticed it was available.
