CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 I was enjoying Frank Skinner's excellent 'Room 101' last night when one of the contestants nominated the habit of watching the same movie time after time as one of her pet hates. I must admit that I'm very guilty of this terrible affront to originality. In my case at least once a year I just have to dig out my DVD copy of the early Spielberg road movie 'Duel'. I should confess this is a odd choice as Duel is in truth a small budget and hastily made 1971 TV movie that hardly bares close comparison to Steven Spielberg's later, more celebrated, work - significant films such as: Jaws, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, or ET. But for some reason (even although I well know by now every line Dennis Weaver utters) this simple little film about a mild mannered sells rep being chased by a murderous truck driver for no obvious reason satisfies me immensely. I welcome its regular reappearance on my TV almost as if it were a old friend who had come to pay me a visit. To me this represents the cinematic equivalent of 'comfort food' I suppose. I'm I alone in this, or do any of you have a film or TV series you too just never tire of watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Randomly that came up in conversation last night while looking for movies for the visiting kids to watch Kelly's Heroes. Will never ever tire of watching. Blazing Saddles. And, so annoyingly, of recent movies Battle Los Angeles : Invasion Earth. I mean why? Why that skanky Alien invasion movie & not Independence Day for example? And TV Series? Have watched the entire reboot of Dr Who from Chris Ecclestone uo to the end of the 1st Matt Smith series 4 times now....... And of course. Red Dwarf Kelly Saddles & Dwarf can be justified I suppose... But the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets B Avenue Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Not that I would have them in my favourite films list, but I find myself watching Speed and any of the Bourne series everytime they come up on TV. Bourne Identity last night for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 9 February, 2013 Author Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Time goes back in those bits. Some films I have to watch if they're on and I've started watching them: The Longest Day The Day of the Jackal (the real one, not the crap remake) The Cruel Sea Zulu All truly excellent choices my friend - The Cruel Sea joins Das Boot & Platoon as arguably the greatest war films ever made to my way of thinking. But the original Day of the Jackal is another one of those 'perfect' movies that I could - and frequently do - happily watch time and time again. Like the engrossing novel it is closely based upon, the narrative is both intelligent and remorseless, leading to a climax that is as nail biting and satisfactory as it could possibly be I suppose. Coincidently another film made in 1971 by the way - obviously a vintage year in the cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Lincolns at cinema at weekend. It is not a movie i could watch again and again and again unless I've got trouble sleeping or something. I knew it would be dry, i only went cos I had heard that Lincoln got killed cos he was doing heckling in a theatre and the dude he was heckling got really mad and beat him to death up the arse with hammer! The story bout shooting was only put about later cos of embarrassments. In the movie they don't show you his actual death so i spose the rumour must be true! Edit: Here is where i was getting my infos bout hammer up the arse death. It seems v.plausible. I bet this is exactly how it went down!

Tokyo-Saint Posted 11 February, 2013 Share Posted 11 February, 2013 It doesn't look good bear. So far this month I have seen life of pies which was good and I could probably watch again, Django which was ok to begin with but then changed into that wicky wicky wild wild west with Will Smith which wasn't so good. Older movies I have also watched are Back to the Future 2, I have seen this several times but always forget what happens after the hoverboard bit, this is probably because this is the best bit and after that I drift off and start concentrating on football manager. The best movie of the month so far the the gold medal winner of watch again and again is Cool Running, I like this, especially with an emotional hangover. If I am properly hungover and feeling emotional, I don't mind admitting I well up when they become good but then crash and have to carry their sledge. This often happens to me when sledging so I can easily emphasise with their situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
