Or, you can suddenly realize I meant the original Hitchickers' and not the Hollywood version. The Fountain was quite good.

I'm suddenly reminded that I'd probably want to watch something with Toshiro Mifune. Seven Samurai might replace Willow.

The Fountain. The other's a hard choice. Maybe Hitchhiker's Guide or Ghostdog.

Tell me you mean the BBC's, not that other blasphemy.
I like the version everybody hates, so I likely do mean the 'blasphemy'.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371724/

I'm inclined to believe everyone hates it because they invariably compare it to the book/s. I never read them and viewed it alone as a movie, its own standard (and I loved it.) Mere speculation though.

Definitely The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and The Lion King.

The movies i watch depend on my mood. I suppose if i had to choose, i'd go for Pitch Black because Vin Diesel is awesomesauce, and Jumping Jack Flash for comedic value.

Or Blade 2, and Transporter 2. Yay Jason Statham. Wesley Snipes shoulda paid his taxes though.

They hate it because they're hypernerds and prone to absurd hyperbole so things like a television miniseries based on a book that's not a page for page re-creation of that book is "blasphemy"

I might be a supernerd but I prefer to be on the positive side of nerdery, actually liking things and cracking jokes instead of poopooing everything that doesn't adhere to some Platonic ideal of nerd and nerd shit (not that you really do that, though)

the bbc movie was what it was,

and doesn't that whole "IT WAS THE WORST THE WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIMES!!!" get a bit tiresome after awhile? every movie can't be the worst movie.

it's about as tiresome as my insulting of everything joe and dmd say!!! (pretty tiresome)

Hey, you know as well as I do that I'm a bitter, cynical bastard.

But I don't diss stuff for the sake of dissing. I was just pretty disappointed by what they did where they had so much material they could have used and made it better.

Seriously my first post still stands. Watching the same movie over and over gets pretty boring after a while. I don't care if Star Wars, Jurassic Park, The Dark Knight, and whatever else were the best movies ever. You'll get sick of the light saber scenes and the dinosaurs after a few viewings and then it will collect dust for the rest of eternity.

But Porn. Now there's something where the plot was never good to begin with. You what it for one purpose and one purpose only, and that purpose doesn't go away until you're all old leprous.

I'm going to assume this part wasn't just fuel for the semi-joke. I don't know about that really. Some people I bet could watch the same thing a crapload of times, possibly because of a memory or feeling they associate it with (orgasms included). Or hell, even interest.
Not indefinitely, but a damn lot. Random example, roommate watched The Man Who Would Be King at least once a day for a month straight out of pure interest.

I could watch the yellow submarine like that for sure. It'd be different every time. Cheesy

I guess if you're a stoner you would forget enough of the plot that it would be like watching it for the first time all over again.

My sophomore year of college my roommate and I watched the South Park movie at least once a day for two months straight. After it stopped being funny we just did it to see how long we could go.

But I'd have to say for the two movies it'd be a combination of Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade, Boondock Saints, Star Wars: RotJ, and Superbad.

I'm perfectly content with how lame this post is going to make me seem.

I already do watch movies like that repetitively.  I've watched E-III nearly every day for the last two months, and usually more than twice a day.

I picked it because I already knew I could watch it over and over and over and over for weeks on end without ever wanting or needing something else to watch.

Same with the others I said.
