Movies you'll watch every time list

GoNavy

Coming off of db5's thread on "movie on tv" got me to thinking, what movies do you watch every time they come on, my list is long, but here are a few

Run Silent Run Deep we talked about that one in the other thread, I'll watch every time I see it.

for military type movie

-Seven days in May- Kirk Douglas

-Judgement at Nuremberg - Spencer Tracy

-Twilight's Last Gleaming - can't go wrong with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas

-Operation Petticoat - Cary Grant, Tony Curtis

-Wackiest ship in the Army - Jack Lemmon, Ricky Nelson

-Strategic Air Command - Jimmy Stewart (actually any movie Jimmy's in I'll watch) especially "Harvey", "No Highway in the Sky", "It's a Wonderful Life" we could go on this list forever any thing he is in ... I'll watch.

Regular movies

-Miracle on 34th street - Edmund Gwenn, Natalie wood, John Payne, Maureen O'hare..must watch every year, I have no idea how many times I have seen this movie..lol

-Inherit the wind - Spencer Tracy

-Father Goose - Cary Grant well absolutely watch every time

-High and the Mighty - John Wayne, will watch most big John movies but this is my favorite, hard to find on TV, the family pulled several of his movies and very seldom release them for viewing, this is one of them.

Not a complete list, but off the top of my head must see movies in my opinion, movies I'll watch every time they come on. So whats on your list...

I haven't gone to a movie theater in years and I find it very difficult to sit through an entire movie on TV. Mostly, when a movie is on TV, I watch a few minutes of it, turn it off, and go do something interesting.

The Wife re watches movies with Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, or Hugh Grant.

Most things I watch now have been prerecorded or are on Netflix, so I don't just run across movies on TV any more, but back when I did the Die Hard movies used to get me every time.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned The Shawshank Redemption. Also:

Many movies with or by Bogart, Cary Grant, Steve McQueen, Mel Brooks.

Hobbyman2

old westerns with John Wayne and or with Ronald Reagan

amboyna

Any Clint Eastwood movie.

Especially Good, Bad And The Ugly. Recently I watched the first 4 Dirty Harry movies. Will watch Dead Pool today.

Caddyshack

Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

My two favorite John Wayne movies are The Searchers and Stagecoach. John Ford is a legend.

Watched both recently. Again!

SpencerWhite

My list is:

The Phantom Carriage

Beautiful Boy

Coffee and Cigarettes

The Green Mile

The Green Elephant

The Prince of Egypt

etc.

I keep the rest of the movies from the list on. This is the website I mostly use to watch cartoons, series, and movies. It has great functionality and allows you to watch much more movies than the other streaming services do. You can try it out. I can recommend it.

Hobbyman2 wrote old westerns with John Wayne and or with Ronald Reagan

True Grit, the original, warts and all. The new one is good but the "Fill your hands" scene with The Duke is legendary.

Someone mentioned Patton also. Saw it around age 13, left a lasting impression on me. The opening scene is another one high on the all time list.

My favorite Christmas movie Die Hard - "Yippee Ki Yay", one great line or scene can really make a movie extra special.

King Kong, the original, the best. I know the younger audience doesn't like B&W and non-CGI effects, too bad for them.

There are others including some great comedies like A Night at the Opera, Duck Soup, and a bunch of the 80s blockbuster comedies.

wa2crk

The original "Manchurian Candidate" with Frank Sinatra

Also Tom Selleck's "Crossfire Trail" and "Quigley Down Under"

Bill V

Just watched 1883 , I will watch it again.

Goodfellas and Usual Suspects are definitely up there for me. I'm sure there's others, but those two immediately spring to mind.
