I have a hard time rewatching comedies. I already know the punchline, so the movie isn’t as funny.

The exceptions are movies like Naked Gun where there are so many jokes that you miss some on every viewing.

I also have a hard time watching character piece dramas where the drama comes from the interactions of characters. I know these people already, so reintroducing them on second visit seems unessasary.

None of that means that those comedies or dramas aren’t good.

What I find rewatch able are scenes with great stunt work or fight choreography, especially when they are set to great music.

The Rock is basically a long Hans Zimmer rock video (except when Nicolas Cage is talking) and has great fight choreography, great stunt work, and a fantastic gratuitous car chase that adds nothing to the plot but is endlessly rewatchable.

The Rock is a decent shout.
Old Nic Cage movies were half decent - Snake Eyes, Face/Off

A Bronx Tale is a movie that never got the appreciation it deserved.

This scene is very red pill. The nagging woman, who sees a chance to acquire some quick cash (and she's partially right I'm sure they needed it) and the father sticking to moral values and leading by example with his son.

Network (1976)





"You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels.

It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today!

...

You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality -- one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused."

Aaron Clarey had a good list a few weeks ago, particular surprised that Lost in Translation was on the list, good taste!

As well as that film I'd include:

Back to the Future (1-3)
Die Hard
Terminator 1
Alien
Aliens
Sunshine
Shawshank
Heat
Ronin
The Edge
Jurassic Park
Anchorman (insanely well crafted madness and lightning in a bottle, the chemistry and layers, forget the second for all that's holy, as David Stewart a comedy only needs jokes not a save the cat or even a story, but this one just so happens to have one that doesn't get in the way).
The Other Guys (underrated, didn't like it when I first watched must have a bad mood because now I love it, layers too)
Burn After Reading
Nightcrawler
Shaun of the Dead
Hot Fuzz
Wolf of Wall Street

For reading to the end:





A true cuck:





His face is brilliant, and his dismissive good nights to Alan are just perfection:

Syberpunk,

I felt the same way about that movie the first time I watched it, until I got to "aim for the bushes". Then I couldn't stop watching.

The TLC references crack me up as well, because each time, Farrell and Wahlberg ask Keaton the same thing I'm thinking.

(Michael) Keaton was underrated in that movie. I'd pay good money to see a Captain Gene (or a Gator) "prequel".
