    Pete, that movie is terrible and what little I have seen of it always makes me feel queasy.

    STFU and GBTW, that movie was awesome.

    ...that movie was awesome.
    Maybe if you have the discernment and taste of a 13 year old boy. :P

    "Immature" and "15 year old boy" are redundant. :P

    Sorry. I must not be hitting on all cylinders this morning. What do you mean?

    @ Pete and Mrs. MacRoss - I thought this was "Movies You can Watch Over and Over", not "Movies that are Mature, Highly Sophisticated, and Culturally Significant." Sure, Heavy Metal is immature. I spend about 60 hours during the work-week being very mature. Sometimes I like to take a break and watch an immature movie. Jeez.

    - The Transporter
    - Transformers the Movie (the one from 1984)
    Really?

    Understandably, but - for me - that movie is unwatchable.

    For me The Transporter falls in the same category as Heavy Metal for you.

    Rym still hasn't seen this. I keep trying to make him watch it.
    Really?! But that seems like it is right up his alley? I bet that, to him, it's one of those movies that you want to see, but just never get the chance to or something else comes up all the time. Would I be correct in this assumption? That's what The Royal Tenenbaums and Eraserhead are to me, I desperately want to see them because I've heard either moderately to highly positive reviews about it.

    Yay! Someone agrees with me on that! Even though it takes an entire afternoon to watch, it makes time fly by on a rainy day.

    Aw man Dark City rules. I've only seen it twice, I feel like rewatching it tonight.

    Dark City is a very good movie mired with occasionally poorly written and/or delivered dialogue, and an ending that's outright terrible.
  • FunfetusFunfetus
    Dark City just didn't do it for me. I don't know why -- it's probably been 10 years since I've seen it. I usually like movies with that kind of aesthetic.

    Dark City should be titled The Gothic Matrix, except that it beat The Matrix to the punch by a year and Rufus Sewell can act. It would also appeal to Rym because of its heavily solipsistic message, and its look at verificationism (implanted/false memories play a big role). There is some bad dialogue and some effects that don't hold up too well, but for the most part it's beautifully shot. Look:

    Even Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back? I felt that was pretty sub-par.

    While I liked what the film was trying to do and the overall aesthetic, the weak writing, spotty acting, and poorly executed ending really bogged down the film for me. I am glad I saw it, but a re-watch would just drive me to the bookshelf while others watched it.

    Inside Man
    Forgot how much this movie rocked!
    Should have been on my list, rewatching right now.

    I agree completely.

    I'm adding those to my list. Mallrats is the main one. Followed by the two Clerks and then everything else he did.
  • HungryJoeHungryJoe
    Do parts and bits of movies count? I like Rocky Horror up until the point where the professor dude comes in for dinner.

    Fight Club
    The Blues Brothers
    Remember the Titans
    Most Tarantino Movies
    The Last Boy Scout
    The Die Hard series
    Snatch
    Who framed Roger Rabbit
    Practically all Pixar movies
    Akira
    Ghost in the Shell
    The Castle of Cagliostro
