I think I've at least heard of every other movie listed here. And the winner is...........Hot Rod. I've heard of CHUD but never seen it. I just thought it was interesting for a list of 5 most watched movies to run into one I'd never heard of. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Bunch of movies I've never seen are on these lists. Mine: The Goonies A New Hope The Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi The Karate Kid I tried to think of movies I was watching when I was 8 that I still watch now. If I were to start at age 20 I'd guess LotR, The Matrix, and Harry Potter movies would be in there. I watch those more often now than The Goonies or Karate Kid. Maybe Little Miss Sunshine and Shaun of the Dead would make a top 10. I love Shawshank but I almost always watched it when it came on TNT or some other cable channel, and I don't watch cable anymore. I've never actually owned it. Quote Link to comment

Did not include the numerous Disney movies we watched repeatedly with the kids. Watched by your own free will and forced to have in the background by a 4 year old ARE two different things. Some VHS about dinosaurs (not Bigfoot(?)) was on CONTINUOUSLY 12 HOURS PER DAY FOR 6 MONTHS would have to be #1 for me!! Other wise: Christmas Story (yet never from beginning to end) Tora! Tora! Tora! Midway Top Gun Star Wars Episode IV 1 Quote Link to comment

Tora! Midway Top Gun Star Wars Episode IV It was Littlefoot........The Land Before Time. I think we still have all of them on VHS. I actually liked most all of the movies I had to watch over and over again because of the kids. And Tora Tora Tora and Midway should've both been on my list. Probably #2 and #3 behind High Plains Drifter. Also Bridge on the River Kwai. 1 Quote Link to comment

That movie is such a cult classic in the weirdest, somewhat underground way. But I love it so much to the point that if any stranger randomly quotes it I know I can immediately trust them and like them. 5 hours ago, JJ Husker said: And the winner is...........Hot Rod. idk if it'd be up your alley but I think it's one of the most memorable quotable comedies of the last 15 years. Might be a generational thing. Really off the wall absurdist humor - think weird SNL sketches meets Napolean Dynamite. Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I am not sure I could name the 5 movies I have seen the most. I will name 5 movies that I will always stop and watch when I am channel surfing. Ocean's 11- I love caper movies The Fugitive- I was just watching this movie on Wednesday. Again, just a well done movie. Apollo 13- I know how it ends, but it is just a great movie Highlander- There can be only one Apocolypto- My wife and kids say I always watch this, and they are right. OK I thought of a few more Skyfall Casino Royal The Bank Job Any of the Cornetto Trilogy Beer Fest Quote Link to comment
SCode Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Star Wars original trilogy Terminator I & II Lethal Weapon I & II Die Hard I & II Raiders of the Lost Ark The Holy Grail Christmas Vacation Animal House Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Major League Caddyshack Christmas Vacation The Program ConAir Animal House, Clerks, Blazing Saddles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(original) probably give the others a run for their money though Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I can’t believe I forgot The Holy Grail. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Die Hard has to be in the running for my top 5 as well. Quote Link to comment

"Enemy Mine"??? That was actually a pretty good movie with Louis Gosset Jr. and the normal Quaid. Edit: Never mind, maybe I should read the whole thread to see even more obscure movies than "Enemy Mine" My top five: Tribute to disney (my kids are 9, going on 10) 1. Cars 2. Toy Story 3. Frozen 4. Planes 5. Mary Poppins Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The Shawshank Redemption Dumb and Dumber Tommy Boy Son in Law Remember the Titans The last 2 are mostly my wife's fault. There's probably a couple old school Adam Sandler movies that would be close to cracking the list. I guess comedies just have good replay value to me. Shawshank for sure is #1 if you count the TNT version. Although I did wear out my old VHS tape. Quote Link to comment
