Matt,
You hit a lot that I have.
Lord of the Rings-extended versions
Saving Private Ryan
Band of Brothers
Star Wars (2-6)-I can not stand Jar Jar Binks
Seasons 1-3 of the New Battle Star Galactica as well as the Mini Series
Underworld 1&2-Kate looks great!!
Blue Max
Outlaw Josey Wales
Conan
Crouching Tiger-Hidden Dragon
We Were Soldiers Once, and Young
Oh and for German films:
Das Boot and Metropolis
I am sure I am missing a few,
Mike

LoTR, all three, plus extras.
Spirited Away
Shrek
Twelve Angry Men (I can do most of the dialogue by heart)
Simon Schama's History of Britain (don't tell me it isn't fiction)
Glory
Dogma
The Hunt for Red October
That's about it, really. I'm hoping to add a few more, but most fantasy and historical stuff recently has disappointed me. 'The Walking Castle' could qualify, I love Ghibli studios.

Bladerunner - enough said:
Highlander - Superb film:
Went the Day Well - a little-known English film from WW2 about German paras taking over an English village prior to invasion. Surprisingly dark!
Overrrated film = ET: I can't stand the rubbery little %$£**%£ (insert own swear word!).
Re: What movies do you watch over and over? - Servio Caro (Javier Sánc - 06-01-2008
mine are:
-The Goodfather (the three ones, but the first is the best)
-The lord of the rings extended versions
-Predator and Terminator 2
-Heat (with al pacino and robert de niro, and other movies by Michael Mann)
-Master and commander
-Gladiator
and many others, but I think
EDIT: oh yes, I forgot a french movie called "The Visitors" with Jean Reno and Christian Clavier. The Hunt for Red October was my favourite when I was a child!

Isnt that called ''The Eagle has landed?'' Where the germans landed to try and assassinate Churchill? Or is that a different film?

Der Himmel über Berlin: I went to the cinema fourteen times already. It's splendid, but if you haven't seen it: realize that the end (a long monologue) needs to be seen twice, that it is unbearable on TV, and that the Hollywood remake is no substitute, and confirms all European prejudices against Hollywood. Usually I like Hollywood, but City of Angels is the worst crime against good taste of the second millennium.
And of course Apocalypse Now, no explanation needed. Again, it doesn't work on TV.
Re: What movies do you watch over and over? - M. Demetrius - 06-01-2008
The Princess Bride
Fiddler on the Roof
It's a Wonderful Life (at Christmas)
Hondo
Hud

Seven Samurai
Throne Of Blood (best armour, including where two main characters ride full tilt through the fog lost in Spiderweb Forrest IMHO is one of the best scenes ever filmed.)
Kagemusha (good armour)
Gate Of Hell
Ugetsu
Yojimbo
(These are to be seen with less than four beers.)
Samurai Banners (lots and lots of armour)
Heaven & Earth ( lots of armour)
(On these last two, I have a vague connection with the Murakami clan. Watch for the sashimono with the character "Jo". I have watched these in full samurai armour. Four sake or more films.)
Hannibal (1960)
Downfall
Waterloo
(These are four glasses of wine or more flicks)
Edit: I have no ida why my post appeared twice, and in quotes but I will fix that
