December 9, 20241 yr For me, it is Dirty Dancing. I was involved in the video release of the movie in Europe in 1987, and what was actually a low budget movie, turned out to be a blockbuster. Since, I have watched it at least 8 times, most recent just today, and still I shed a tear in the closing scene. So share your movie of all times.

Angels with Dirty Faces. I also appreciate those you mention, but the emotional factor with dirty dancing is what made me start this thread. The movie Lion is another one that touches me emotionally.
December 9, 20241 yr Popular Post The Great Escape. I must have watched it at least 20 times. My kids could recite every line when they were teenagers. If anyone has a link to it dubbed into Thai, I would really like my missus to see it.
December 9, 20241 yr Oliver! - Lionel Bart's musical version. Pretty much any version of Dickens A Christmas Carol (Alastair Sim 1951 version probably being the best) To Kill a Mockingbird 300 (Gerard Butler) Die Hard 1 and 2 Home Alone Debbie Does Dallas (fond memories as a young lad) I'm sure others will spring to mind......

A Christmas Carol is obviously seasonal but every version from the 1930's onwards will be on TV sometime over the Christmas period in the UK. I have seen each of the movies mentioned well over a dozen times, more likely upwards of twenty times. Does this satisfy your criteria?

I have almost 5Tb of movies stored on SSD's, and they are only high rated movies. By coincidence, there isn't one from the last decade. I watched them, and enjoyed them, but only few I would watch a second or third time. The point of this thread is movies that really touched you, and which you will watch over and over again.

I don't have any criteria, but from your second post, it seems you are stuck in history, especially since you mention Debbie in Dallas.. Take note, since I distributed that movie since its release date, I know what you are talking about.
December 12, 20241 yr Reservoir dogs, Pulp Fictions I can watch the scene where a man is tied up on a chair and on the background a music is playing, "Stuck in the middle with you" 1000000 times..

December 12, 20241 yr Exodus (the most inspiring movie ever) Godfather 1 and 2 Zulu (the best cinematic portrayal of what made the British Empire great) Davey Crocket at the Alamo (1955 Disney television movie). The image of Davy Crockett swinging his rifle in the final scene has stayed with me all my life. 300 Scrooge (1951 version with Alastair Sim). Best Christmas film ever! Miracle on 34th Street ( 1947 version with Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle. Another great Christmas film that harks back to simpler times) Seven Samurai (and its Americanized Western adaptation, The Magnificient Seven) Deep Throat (the first porn film I ever saw)
December 12, 20241 yr Apollo 13. Top gun Maverick. All the Star Trek movies. A fist full of dollars. For a few dollars more. All the Alien moves. Superman 1. Passengers. Debbie does Dallas.

Would be one of the movies I watched several times since the 80'ies, and it grows on me everytime, becsuse of general knownledge about psychology religion, politics, human social behavior and not to forget history then and now. The most important movie ever I would say, and the funniest.
December 13, 20241 yr The Third Man, The Man Who Would Be King, Casablanca, To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, Lawrence of Arabia, The Maltese Falcon, The Comedians....and if anything more modern, Body of Lies (especially Mark Short's performance), The Big Short, and Margin Call (most accurate depiction of a Wall Street firm and trading floor).

December 26, 20241 yr Popular Post A great movie partly filmed in the Uk and partly in Thailand, "The Railway man" True story and when you visit Kanchanaburi you can almost relive it.
December 27, 20241 yr Author Although I'm 66 years old, I'm not much into movies from the sixties or seventies, with a few exceptions maybe. I also not a favourite of the newer action movies. I like action movies like Die Hard and Mad max, but after part 1 or 2, the actions scenes start to be unrealistic, and they put me off. I mainly like comedies and those with a sentimental touch. This is another favourite of mine, which I will watch again tonight. Lion 2016
