View Full Version : I Loved It!
I can remember movies that I've loved so much I went back multiple times to see. I wore out records and tapes of music I loved too. What about you? What were they and do you still watch/listen/read them?
Star Wars. I watched that movie over and over. I can still watch them.

A newer one is Moulin Rouge...another is Clueless. I'm not saying Clueless was a classic, but it was one of those I could just barely pay attention to and still enjoy.
American Beauty. Fight Club. Dazed and Confused.
(EDIT: eheheheh forgot music)
Tenacious D's self-titled album. Pearl Jam-Riot Act, The Stevie Ray Vaughan box set, Pearl Jam-Vs, Mad Season-Above, Mindless Self Indulgence-Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy, Led Zeppelin-Early Years Vol. 1, Sublime-40 Oz. To Freedom, The Doors-Essential Rarities, Tom Waits-Beautiful Maladies, Tom Waits-Mule Variations, Tom Waits-Bone Machine.....I've worn millions and millions of CDs and tapes out.

A Midnight Clear. The Matrix. Dumb & Dumber. I'm not big on rewatching films but there are a few exceptions that I can always watch again.
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible, Everything Must Go. The two greatest albums in existence. I've not worn them out yet, but that's prolly 'cos they're mp3s and not disks.
Dumb and Dumber was classic, mindless humor.

Oops music! Forgot about that...Anything and everything by the beatles I have listened to a million times. The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack...The Romeo and Juliet Sound Track was wonderful, The Life is Beautiful Soundtrack...AND I was raised on pretty much any reggae artist you can think of. Hmm...I just realized none of this represents my love of punk music. Oh well.

Yeah. I'm not big on those as a rule, but there's something about D&D that keeps me laughing after the first viewing.
It's suposed to be impossible to ruin a DVD by watching it too much but im sure that's whats wrong with my Top Gun disc..
ugh...Top Gun?
A lot of people loved it, but I could never get into it.
Now Hot Shots? Hell yes.

Movies?
'Boondock Saints' and 'Strange Brew' are about the only ones.
As for music, I've never really had anything that struck me as so amazing that I could go back to it over and over again.

My problem with movies and music is, when I really love it I wear it out! I'll watch movies over and over again and then I won't watch them again for months, sometimes years. The same with music. If there is a cd I like, I'll listen to it over and over and then I won't pick it up again.
I'm not very picky when it comes to the movies I'll watch. I love movies and I love music. I'll listen to almost anything. The cd case in my truck has music ranging from Phantom of the Opera to Montgomery Gentry to Eminem! It just depends on my mood.
Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan. I can watch them over and over and never lose interest.
And of course, any western with John Wayne or Clint Eastwood.
I can come into any part of "The Blue's Brothers" and love every bit of it! :cool: "Always" issa great flick too....good heart tugger.
Floyd's "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" & "WISH YOU WERE HERE"(I'm pretty sure I wore out my headphones with those.)
The soundtrack of 'Riven', not a movie but a very good PC-game. The music is awesome for spacing out :)
I saw The Lost Boys 9 times in theaters and then countless times at home. I love to watch The Big Easy, Out Of Sight, Jaws and the Die Hard series over and over.

I had totally forgotten about Blues Brothers! I can watch that movie over and over again. Best line has to be where they're sitting in the underpass thing, about to head out for Chicago.
Elwood - It's 106 Miles to Chicago, We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of Cigarettes, it's Dark, and We're wearing Sunglasses
Jake - Hit it...

Oh hell yea!!! That movie was awesome!
Let's see who all I remember: there was Kelly (Clint Eastwood), Big Joe (Telly Savalas) and Little Joe (don't know his name), Oddball (Donald Sutherland), Crapgame (Don Rickles), Carroll O'Connor (the general), Cowboy and Moriarty (sure that's not spelled right) and Babra.

The music I like the most is pretty mainstream stuff but I get tired of it. The music i never get tired of are just some obscure things I use to relax mostly from video games. Ha syslord i can do better than riven you'll see. ;)
I generally like watching new movies but some of my alltime favorites are the old star wars movies, the matrix, the lord of the rings, meet the parents, a beautiful mind. Eh those are the best ones I can come up with off the top of my head.

I've been trying to catch the penultimate episode of Band of Brothers for the best part of the year, and I only saw it two days ago - spectacularly cynical stuff, and even more powerful than the early part of Saving Private Ryan, which inadvertently created the impression that the wehrmacht was entirely composed of Czechoslovakian soldiers.
Music - Elbow's Asleep in the Back, which is the most moving album I've heard in the last half-decade. Spectacularly honest, unremitting music.
Films: hard to say, because I generally don't find myself very affected by cinema as a genre. Danton, The Hitcher and Night of the Demon are endlessly watchable.
Books: Conrad's Under Western Eyes and Victory, John Fowles' The Magus and even, I have to admit, Richard Adams' Watership Down, for which - even now - I retain a shamelessly childish awe.

I've been pondering reading The Magus for some time now Amaurote. It some how slipped onto my bookshelf years ago and I'm ashamed to say I've never indulged. Could you give me a
nudge to start it?

Oh, you wanted Am to.

I think you'll like it, Usantic: it's basically a classic existential novel about a young teacher fleeing a failed love affair in England, and travelling to a Greek island, where he falls in with a mysterious recluse called Conchis. The novel is absolutely labyrinthine in terms of plot, but fundamentally it consists of Conchis acting as a sort of spiritual guide, fraud, or trickster, and leading the protagonist on through a series of "visions" for reasons which may be sinister, benevolent or unknowable - the final scene is quite spectacular in the sense that it's about making choices: and making choices is the very pith and marrow of the novel.
It's quite lyrical in places - I may be misquoting here, but one of the lines that always stays with me is Conchis' observation that "That is the mystery of the smile; that what should not be, is."
Well I'll be damned. Good to see you, Am. How the hell are you?
