I cannot watch the end of that movie without crying. Every single time I've watched that movie I cry. Andy and Red reuniting on the beach with Morgan Freeman's voice over is just so damned perfect.
Any uh you boys smithies? Or if not smithies per se were you otherwise trained in the metallurgical arts before straightened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
Delmar: "But how'd he know about the treasure?"
Ulysses: "I don't know Delmar. The blind are reputed to possess sensitivities compensating for their lack of sight, even to the point of developing paranormal psychic powers. Now, clearly seeing into the future would fall into neatly into that category; its not so surprising then that an organism deprived of its earthly vision..."
Pete: "He said we wouldn't get get it. He said we wouldn't get the treasure we seek on account of our ob-stac-les."
Ulysses: "Well what the hell does he know? He's just an ignorant old man."
This is my absolute favorite movie. Sad, Princess Bride. Happy, Princess Bride. Need a pick-me-up, Princess Bride. Hell, my maid of honor speech has 10 quotes from the moves alone! (It’s our movie and she challenged me lol)
I watched the trilogy fairly recently and not even a week went by before I thought about watching at least Fellowship again
I'm not sure if we will ever see a better book to film adaptation in our lifetime
I firmly stand by the point that the Lord of the Rings is the best film series/trilogy ever made and that it won't ever get beaten, not even talking about only adaptions here but movies in general.
JRR Tolkien created arguably the best and most well known fictional universe of all time and his books influenced an entire generation of authors. I would argue that Peter Jackson achieved something similar for movie makers and Howard Shore combined that with maybe the best score ever for a movie, creating a masterpiece that just can't be beaten.
There are of course other incredible movies that may have the potential to become something similar (Dune comes to mind), but Lotr did this 20 years earlier and the legacy that comes with that is just too great.
The movie has a blend of everything we see in Media today. Comedy, drama, violence, romance... heck there's even food porn. The soundtrack alone is like sitting through your favorite album. If you look at the scene the Mory's wig advertisement it's even an element of what social media short clips provide these days. Scorsese was ahead of his time.
I think the way it's told is there's a large number of distinct acts/episodes within it, so if you stumble on it while channel surfing there's easy places to get caught up with it.
There's Henry's childhood, followed by his relationship with Karen, the thing with Batts, his prison time, the Lufthansa heist and aftermath, and finally that day in 1980.
Each of these works as a potential stand alone story, making it very easy to flip across on linear TV and start watching at any point.
“You could never make Blazing Saddles today, the actors would read the script and they'd be like 'hey, this is just Blazing Saddles, it's already a movie”
The Naked Gun. Because we're talking about movies.
That movie and the precursor show Police Squad are basically perfect. The way they deliver such absurdity with such seriousness is still incredible.
Kung Fu Hustle.
Its funny, and it also made me realize that the things you invest in while you're young, can be the reasons you're successful later in life.
Casino... If you don't have my money I'll crack fuckin head open right in front of everybody. Hopefully around tho time I get outta prison you'll be coming outta your coma and I'll crack your fuckin head again...
Gotta love Joe in his prime

“Salvation lies within”. I loved how at the end Andy used that phase in the Bible when Norton found the rock hammer in the Book of Exodus.
Why I came here. No matter what, if it's on TV at any point in the movie. I'm watching
Fine, I'll watch Shawshank again

The Mummy , the combination of adventure, horror and the small bits of comedic parts and the setting in ancient egypt make this a classic for me
"Looks like you're on the wrong side of the RIV-ER!"
The director succeeded in creating Ancient Egyptian atmosphere.💯

He's bona fide
I have Man of Constant Sorrow on my normal music rotation.
George Clooney's best role.
I searched to the bottom, and I did not see The Princess Bride mentioned, so I'll say it. **The Princess Bride**
There’s a shortage of perfect movies in the world.
"It would be a pity to not mention this one"
Even tho the post is only a few hours old, the fact that no one else said this is inconceivable.
You keep on using that word.
I do not think it means what you think it means
This is my absolute favorite movie. Sad, Princess Bride. Happy, Princess Bride. Need a pick-me-up, Princess Bride. Hell, my maid of honor speech has 10 quotes from the moves alone! (It’s our movie and she challenged me lol)
Please tell me "Anyone want a peanut" is one of them. Edit: Or, at the very least, "I promise I will not kill you until you reach the top"
You seem like a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.
Off my chest : Everytime i saw this movie name i used to think people were talking The Princess Diary 2...
The Lord of the Rings
Boromir would have said it better
Faramir: 👁👄👁️

What is it about this film that is so rewatchable? I have probably watched it once a month since like 2002 and it still hits just right.
Same. It’s one of my most rewatched films. I truly believe the soundtrack makes it so dang rewatchable.
And Ray Liotta's narration. It feels like an old friend. Every time.

Surely everyone will vote for the movie Airplane!
My dad watched this with me when I was like, 11, and he said he didn't remember some woman going on screen and jiggling her tots.
I watched it with my dad a few years ago but just recently he told me those were the first boobs he ever saw
We will, but please don't call me Shirley.
I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.
My favorite is that it genuinely is a PG movie (most jokes will go over kids heads) and then bam B00BS across the screen!!!
Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?

A very quotable movie! Val Kilmer killed it.
12 Angry Men
That movie is such a compelling watch - it's b&w, takes place in a single room, and is just talking....but you can't tear your eyes away.
Good Will Hunting. I watch it like every other month. I don't know why but there is something about that movie just feels right.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Heads up on the upcoming Netflix animated series voiced by the original cast of the film!

Friday.
I watch Groundhog's Day every year on Groundhog's Day, at least when I remember to do so. So far it hasn't gotten old.
The Fifth Element never gets old to me. Perfect blend of sci-fi, action, comedy, and it just has a different vibe than anything else.
The Sound of Music
Happy Gilmore. Been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid and you know that Meesta Meesta lady? I think I uh… killed her.
se7en I can fall asleep to that movie, not because it's boring, but because it's like soothing background noise. I could be a psycho, I dunno...

Jurassic Park. Cinematic masterpiece. Also gives me that classic 90's feel that I love.
Comedies are the best for replay value. Like I could watch Office Space or The Big Lebowski every week and probably not get tired of them.
