Old Movies You Watch Again and Again

Bad ones. The ones you watch by yourself because you wouldn't want anybody to know. For me, it's Grease. I know its a real cornball fiesta, but I'll watch it all the way through anytime it's on.

• Grease for me too, OP.

• Lord of the Rings

  22%20year%20old

• Any of the Andy Hardy movies, but especially the one where he's on Catalina Island.

• Urban Cowboy

• A Place in the Sun

• Grease isn't BAD bad, at least it's consistent. I return to Myra Breckinridge alot. There's something oddly hypnotic about it.

• I love 1950s and 60s Sci-Fi. I've watched the original "War of the Worlds" a dozen times. "Them" is another rewatchable favorite.

• I don't watch any movie twice.

• Excuse me, I goofed. Correct answer: Valley of the Dolls

  R5

• Carnival of Souls Zombies of Mora Tau House on Haunted Hill mostly because as kids my sister and I would watch them on Chiller Theater on Saturday nights (WPIX). I miss her and th frights we had.

• I tend to watch 'From Justin to Kelly' whenever it is on, which is frighteningly more frequent than you would think. For certain, it's a bad movie, but nowhere near as bad as its reputation would suggest. It's far too innocent and uncynical for it to be among the worst of the worst. It is bad, corny fun.

• r8= Pauline Kael.

• Muriel's Wedding sucks me in every time a come across it on TV.

• It's not that old, but if I come across Notting Hill on television, I'm stuck there watching it till the bitter end.

• The Impossible Years

• Damien: Omen II Godzilla (1998) The Giant Claw The Hand Of Death Tarantula Attack of the 50 ft Woman Ocean's 11 (Sinatra's version) The Amazing Colossal Man [quote]I've watched the original "War of the Worlds" a dozen times. "Them" is another rewatchable favorite. These are really well made classics, not bad at all and I love them both. I like Tom Cruise's War of the Worlds which is probably considered VERY bad.

• Grease. Old? Oh Dear

• Y'all! OP specified bad movies.

• I love The Impossible Years - I can't believe someone else even remembers it. Hackers - it's like comfort food for some reason.

• Yes this is what OP is asking about: [quote]Bad ones. The ones you watch by yourself because you wouldn't want anybody to know. Movies you're ASHAMED to love.

• In what world is "Cabaret" a bad movie, R22? "Miss Congeniality" fits the bill and I watch it to the bitter end every time I come across it.

• Mysterious Monsters

  That%20thing%20in%20the%20Patterson%20film%20is%20real%21

• Steel Magnolias, First Wives' Club ( for the gay in me). Independence Day for the macho.

• Point Break

• "Island of Doomed Men" (1940) a.k.a. "Island of Dommed Men" - a brilliant subversive comedy cleverly disguised as a cheesy thriller.

• Cabaret? Gosford Park? Fanny and Alexander? These movies are masterpieces and there is no shame in watching them repeatedly. My answer: Beaches.

• Let It Ride

• None- they were all Betamax.

• So has this thread turned into just old movies we like, no matter what the quality? Because that's not what OP's thread was meant to be about.

• [quote]I tend to watch 'From Justin to Kelly' whenever it is on, I have the dvd and watched it a lot. OP said the ones you're embarrassed about, so- Dirty Love (LOVE IT and seen it at least 15 times) Not embarrassed about- Steel Magnolias The Blind Side Madea movies White Christmas

• Blood Feast.

• Jurassic Park 3 with Sam Neill, Tea Leoni and William H. Macy.

• Rosemary's Baby Psycho Shadow of a Doubt I caught The Third Man on tv last weekend. I've seen that one many times. The Producers Rosemary's Baby is my all time favorite. I just love it.

• Not old, but I cannot stop watching the Eating Out movies on Netflix.

• With A Song In My Heart - The Jane Froman Story Murder On The Orient Express South Pacific There's No Business Like Show Business The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming! Evil Under The Sun How The West Was Won The President's Lady Where The Boys Are

• LOVE "The Day After Tomorrow"

• Lifetime TV's "Coco Chanel" with Shirley MacLaine. I bought the DVD and put it in when I'm in a funk. (It's either that or House Hunters)

• What's Up Doc? A Summer Place Pillow Talk

• The Mirror Has Two Faces

• These are BAD movies? Puh-lease!

• Oops! You're right R47. I read the title and then posted. Sorry.

• The Thing with Two Heads Trog

• Prince of Tides The Bishops Wife

• To Kill A Mockingbird. The story is remarkable, and there is so much about it that reminds me of my own childhood. Like many, I like to imagine that my father and Atticus Finch were not that far apart.

  Akbar

• Arrrghhhh r51, To Kill A Mockingbird is BAD?

• Ice Castles Can't help it. Robby Benson!

• Boys In The Band It's the party I cannot escape....

• Dude, Where's My Car Scott Pilgrim vs The World The Wizard of Oz the original Star Wars

• Picnic - I know some of the roles are miscast, but it's such a true picture of that time that I get sucked in every time it's one.

• Legally Blonde. Overboard. Primary Colors. Aliens.

• Well since everyone is ignoring OP's rules, here are some of my favorite old movies, good and bad: The Amityville Horror (1979) The Fog (1979) WarGames (1983) 13 Ghosts (1960) The Fly (1958) The Changeling (1980) Spiderman 2 (2003) sex, lies and videotape (1989) Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989) The Pelican Brief (1993) Breakdown (1997) The Net (1995)

• except for Breakdown and The Net we are kindred spirits r58.

• I can watch While You Were Sleeping and You've Got Mail over and over and over. I hate RomComs and find Sandra Bullock average at best and Meg Ryan incredibly annoying, but I take to both of those damn films like a cat to salt.

• R59, needless to say you have GREAT taste in movies!

  R58

• Since Old and Bad are out the window, there's something hypnotic about the 2nd Bourne movie. If I come across it I'm forced to watch it. There's something about the music and the pacing that I'm simply unable to resist. "It's Easy, She's Standing Right Next to You" "Rumor was you lost your memory" "You still should have moved"

• Body Heat Jurassic Park Rear Window Psycho The Birds Dressed to Kill Obsession The Heiress The Letter Saturday Night Fever The Manchurian Candidate - the original The Boston Strangler The Blair Witch Project Angels and Demons The Professional

• "Jawbreaker", indescribably stupid teen movie with Rose McGowan as a mean girl and Judy Greer as a slut in training. Great eye candy, though. "Mame". Enough said. "Hello, Dolly!" is a big ol' miscast mess that I love to death. I know it's part of the gay canon, but my straight friends look at me askew when I want to watch it for the 600th time. "The Big Cube" with Lana Turner on LSD. "Tomcats", dreadful male version of "Jawbreaker" but it has Jerry O'Connell's ass in freeze frame. "Troop Beverly Hills". OK, even I'm embarrassed to admit that one.

• Halloween Christine 2001: A Space Odyssey The Shining Winged Migration Signs (I hate Mel Gibson though) The Ring (Japan) Dark Water (Japan) Black Swan Dark Water

• Godzilla with Matthew Broderick. It reminds me of a bad B movie from the 60's but I still love it.

• Chicago Down and Out in Beverly Hills

• Bad movies? I don't like to talk about bad movies and if you love them, how can they be "bad movies"?

• I can't stand Ah-nold, but I'll watch True Lies start to finish if I'm alone, even though I've seen it 5 times.

• "The Haunting" with Liam Neeson and Lili Taylor. It is awful. It's great to have running in the background when you're doing something else, like cleaning, because it doesn't take much concentration. When I had a long filing project at home I would turn it on and file. Ridiculously over the top special effects and sets. I watch it for the camp value.

• I love that movie too r70.

• R66, I'm happy to see another Godzilla fan here. I thought I was the only one who actually liked that movie.

  R16

• For fucks sake since when did the literacy level drop so drastically on DL? Now I'm worried some of you will go into that booth and push the wrong button. "I don't know what happened. I thought I voted for Obama. Didn't it say push the button for the guy you are not voting for."

• This could have been a fun thread, but illiterates who insist on posting classic movies really fucking ruined it. Anyway... one of my guilty pleasures is THE SWEETEST THING. A terrible, indefensible movie, but fun to watch over and over again.

• OP, you should have specified BAD in the thread title. Look at the confusion you've caused. Are you happy now?

  Mom%2C%20shaking%20finger

• I WAS posting bad movies that I liked but gave up because no one else was following the OP's rules, now what does it matter? The threads corrupted!

• If it's something you can rewatch a bunch of time it's really not bad, at least to you.

• Terrible film but I have watched it a few times and would still watch it again: Down with Love. Also any Doris Day and Rock Hudson combo.

• "The Public Eye" with Mia Farrow and Topol. I was told here by someone that it's dreadful and that Mia looks embarrassed to be in it throughout the entire movie, however it's one of my all time favorite movies, bad or not.

• Arnold...but it hardly ever is shown anywhere anymore. You can't go wrong with Roddy McDowell and Stella Stevens.

• Eighty posts and no mention of Twilight. The Twilight sequal films were crap and only deserving of one viewing, but I can still manage to sit through and enjoy the original.

• You guys suck at this. STOP picking great movies anyone would be proud to say they watch over and over. Here are my two...and they are both truly embarrassing: Blue Lagoon Dirty Dancing.

• R82 I agree that the Blue Lagoon is bad and embarrassing but how the hell do manage to watch it over and over. Once was enough.

• Stayin' Alive. If only "Satan's Alley" were a real musical...

  Hang%20on%2C%20Manero%21

• Corrina, Corrina Dumbass sappy movie gets me every time.

• Sweet November. It's just awful. I can't look away.

• And Dolores Claiborne. I can do the dialogue to that fucking movie.

• Delores Claiborne is freaking hypnotic. I could watch that movie ten times in a row.

• Murder by Death The Four Seasons What's Up, Doc? Foul Play

• Straight-Jacket

• I have to say Xanadu.

• I loved The Changling (1980) but never see it.
