- What Hilary duff movie?
- Batman Returns, even though it is plotless, with flashes of both smart and heaping servings of stupid dialogue. I pretty much ignore it as it is on, then pay attention when Pfeiffer shows up.
I always come away simultaneously floored at the art direction, the deranged 90's riot grrl Catwoman, and the irritating, pointless story.

- The only film I've seen multiple times (maybe 6 or 7 I think) is "Palm Beach Story" by Preston Sturges. I have it saved in my DVR from the last time it showed on TCM. I'm a huge Sturges fan and really like all his films (there are only 5 or 6 I think) but to me, that movie was one of the wittiest films ever made. You have to see it more than once to get all the jokes since everybody's talking so fast.
I have been a movie nut since I was very young, so I've seen a ton of films but am rarely moved to see them more than once. Not sure why. I guess because there are always new ones coming out--so many movies so little time...
- Godfather 1 and 2
The Talented Mr. Ripley
Gosford Park
Casino
Notes on a Scandal
The crazy-bitch trio: Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, and The Hand That Rocks The Cradle.

Also have become compeltely addicted to both seasons of the BBC's Sherlock, and the first and second seasons of The Tudors, so I can feast my eyes on Benedict Cumberbatch and Jeremy Northam respectively. Actually just listening to them is wonderful, they both have incredible voices.

- Apparently, DL attracts a lot of tedious people or people are fibbing to make their movie tastes seem high brow.
There are very few movies I want to see again. Drop Dead Gorgeous, Home Alone 1 and 2 are a few exceptions.
- And how could I forget.........
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Minx
- Anyone else see the Fellini film Juliet of the Spirits ?
Did you like it ?
Minx
- The Devil Wears Prada
Jezebel
Midnight (1939)
Bridesmaids(I don't even like it that much-but if I come across it, I'm glued to the TV)
Pirahna 3-D
A Woman Scorned
- "Juliet of the Spirits" was OK, enjoyable mostly for Guilietta Masina's performance. You can see that this film would have a major influence visually on Bob Fosse if you've seen "Sweet Charity" (the movie).
- For me the movies I can watch over and over are never my favorite movie or even close to a "great" movie. They have some undefinable quality that makes them watchable. And for some reason, they tend to be RomComs, even though I'm not a fan of RomComs.
For me:
While You Were Sleeping
My Best Friend's Wedding
About A Boy
- [quote]For me the movies I can watch over and over are never my favorite movie or even close to a "great" movie. They have some undefinable quality that makes them watchable.

- Minx, visually it is stunning, which is expected from Fellini from this period, but it's also terribly dated and hard to warm up to except on a camp level. I didn't like the story either.
R67
- Palm Beach Story: "I'm the Wienie King! Invented the Texas Wienie! Lay off 'em, you'll live longer."
