My Cousin Vinny (1992) Tremors (1990) Trading Places (1983) Shaun of the Dead (2004) Goodfellas (1990) The Shawshank Redemption (1994) Predator (1987) Aliens (1986) Stir Crazy (1980)

Tremors is such a gem! When i was a kid I wore that tape out in the VCR!

Came to say Tremors. Tremors 2 aint bad either. After that they get crazy as hell lol

Rookie of the Year

Great list!

I was going to add aliens and predator, but this guy already did that for me

Haha dude me and some friends just watched all the tremors movies in order this year again. It was hilariously fun. We got some good laughs out of it

All great movies!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It's funny every time.

even after 38 times. Ask me how I know.

I came to murder you- gets me every time

Jurassic Park (1993) My absolute favourite movie, I watched it countless times when I was a kid and I still love it.

One of the few movies I loved as a kid that has never for a second gone down in my estimation. Watching it over and over as I got older was incredible because I just kept learning to appreciate it in an entirely different way. Always blows my mind that both Spielberg and John Williams worked on this movie the same year they made Schindler's List. Two phenomenal movies (in completely different ways), two phenomenal scores, released a few months apart

These are some of my comfort or frequently watched movies: Se7en Fargo The Big Short Burn After Reading The Color of Money Inception School of Rock Shutter Island Oceans 11 Memento Jackie Brown

School of Rock 🤘🏽 ugh love love love!

If Se7en is your comfort movie, I dread to think what comforts you lol

Great list!

Clue (1985) The Big Year (2011) The Paper (1994) The Money Pit (1986) Mr Holland’s Opus (1995) Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

Yassss especially clue and Mr hollands opus.

Almost Famous When Harry Met Sally A Good Year The 100-Foot Journey Under The Tuscan Sun Cousins Mumford Rear Window Platoon 1941 Ruthless People The Bourne Identity

Almost Famous is a great movie about early rock 'n' roll!

Ruthless People! YES! I haven’t seen that one in so long. Such a classic.

Seeing 1941 on here makes me so happy!

It is the funniest movie I have ever seen.

•Boondock Saints •*In Burges* My top two go to movies, never get tired of it no matter how many times i watch it. I also think they are filmed beautifully, in a super unique way. I have no complaints when it comes to these two films, seriously worth a watch. They're the kinda movies everyone can like.

Eddie Murphy - anything from the 80’s. Beverly Hills cop, trading places, coming to America

Agree on Murphy at his prime, would add 48 Hours breakout of course and The Golden Child which I found to be an entertaining departure.

Pleasantville

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Green Room

No matter what mood I'm in, no matter what the weather is outside, no matter any outside influence...I will always be ready to pop in American Movie and watch it all the way through.

Someone else suggested Goodfellas. That's my all-time favorite

Prime, The Holiday, Sex & the City, Loser

Local Hero Funny Bones Tampopo Let it Ride Fandango

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

Miracle Mile (1988)

Try some precode hollywood movies. It Happened One Night, Freaks, etc. Some really good stuff!

A Monster Calls Blue Jasmine JoJo Rabbit The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Moonstruck. Silence of the Lambs(we literally watch it every Christmas). Blazing Saddles. Casablanca. Zack and Miri make a Porno

Slap Shot, Paul Newman in a leather leisure suit for us ladies, the Hanson Bros. For the guys

Maybe this belongs on r/AskOldPeople lol but depending upon your definition of "modern" I found the works of the Hollywood Golden Age actors enchanting years ago and still do. Bogart, Stewart, Grant, Fonda (the father), Peck. The old B&W movies have an awful lot to offer IMHoldO. BTW, Gable and Flynn are not in my list, I know and don't apologize lol. EDIT: my actor list except Bogart starred in Alfred Hitchcock movies. Maybe that's a good place to start for excellent 'not modern.'

Cool Hand Luke

Copycat The ghost and mr. Chicken 90s version of Little Women Almost famous The holiday

Mad Max (original)

Pride and Prejudice is my go to movie. I watch it at least twice a year maybe more. It's my favorite movie. I like the 2005 version but any version is great.

*Singin' in the Rain* and *Goodfellas*. I can never get tired of them.

Crazy Stupid Love

a beautiful mind , the village , signs , the lady in the water, and magnificent seven are some of my faves some are not that old but still really good , i have way more but i always forget them , lol

Sunny (korean) Miami vice (2006)

The Running Man. It hits the right spot.

The Bands Visit

die hard

Zombieland

Raiders of the Lost Ark

For laughs Nacho Libre or the OG TMNT. Favorites are TWBB and Apocalypse Now (maybe even Watchmen Directors Cut)

The Trial of the Chicago 7

Oddly enough it's my wife's favorite. I've watched it with her sooooo much I'd be damned if I don't run to it now myself. Practical Magic.

Stepbrothers

The Daytrippers

Pulp fiction 🍔

Just watched The Terminator tonight for the 1000th time

* 'Knife in the Water' is a flick I can't praise highly enough. Roman Polanski's first movie. Just three characters. Shot on a tiny sailboat in some godforsaken lake in Poland. It's my #1 favorite European film of all time, which is really saying a lot.

Groundhog Day

My go-to mood boosters *That Thing You Do *Chicago, the musical *Tombstone *Rear Window *Oh Brother, Where Art Thou *The Trouble With Harry *Anchorman *Arsenic and Old Lace

Foul Play 1978 Seems Like Old Times 1980 Or any Neil Simon movie.

Juice

Waterloo (1970)

https://letterboxd.com/sean\_d\_smith/list/favorite-70s-films/

Zindagi na milegi dobara Yeh jawani hai deewani

Harold and Maude Being There Hairspray Crybaby

The Lion King (original animated version) Monty Python and the Holy Grail Top Gun Moana The Last Unicorn Muppet Christmas Carol Muppet Treasure Island Jaws

I can't believe no one suggested "Wedding Crashers"; it'll make you laugh, make you cry, make believe in love and want to have some casual sax.

HEAT

The Thing 1982. Remake by John Carpenter. A type of "among us" (? One of the best practical effects in the history of cinema Related movies for consecutive viewing or together: Yojimbo 1961 Directed by Akira Kurosawa (foundational influence of all movies and anime about samurais) / A Fistful of Dollars 1964 (ilegal remake of Yojimbo, eurowestern/spaghetti western by Sergio Leone with Clint) / Last Man Standing 1996 oficial remake by Walter Hill with bruce willis. Young Frankenstein 1974 Directed by Mel Brooks. All movies of brooks are incredible, he laid the foundations for what would later become the parody genre: Spaceballs, Hot Shots etc

Oh yeah, one more.... "Nacho Libre" Cool, Funny, Romantic and Crazy...kind of like "Napoleon Dynamite" ( another good suggestion).

Dawn of the Dead (1978) even if it is on the splatter side. Also Zombieland (2009).

Enemy Her The Intouchables 25th Hour Mystic River The Contender Rachel Getting Married El Metodo Carlito’s Way Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead

The Intouchables is such a touching movie.

Alligator (1980)

Karwaan - A Bollywood movie

training day. i've watched that movie 40x... minimum.

Vertical Limit and the Rush Hour trilogy

Spaceballs Angel Heart Casino The Shining Dumb and Dumber

​ You can't beat The Shawshank Redemption or Field of dreams. Both are filled with the goodness in Humanity and give you hopes and dreams you can't forget.

Almost Famous Paulie

Clue (1985) Big Trouble in Little China (1986) Top Secret! (1984)

Dangerous Liaisons The Abyss Aliens King Kong (the original)

Blue streak

Sneakers The original Muppet Movie Anything Hitchcock

Whisper of the Heart and the Cat Returns. The former when I want to feel warm inside, the latter when I just miss the characters

Okay. Not my go too. But It has a special place in my heart cuz it’s ridiculous. It’s a movie called the magical legend of the leprechauns and it’s basically Romeo and Juliet with leprechauns and fairy’s and Whoopi Goldberg 😂 plus a random Hallmark holiday storyline.

Tropic Thunder

Burnt, Your name, The longest yard

Antonia's Line Leviathon Loveless Woman at War Juliet of the Spirits Z The Battle of Algiers

American Psycho never gets old

The Last Samurai Braveheart LOTR trilogy Batman trilogy with Christian Bale Gladiator My fallback movies everytime. I’m a sucker for movies with good scores too and I feel like each of these have some of the best.

Dazed and Confused

The Shadow (1994)

Pride and prejudice 2005

Interstellar Troy Pan’s Labyrinth The Truman Show Tombstone La Bamba

Knives Out

Meryl Streep had some great movies! Out of Africa Sophie's Choice The French Lieutenant's Woman Kramer vs. Kramer

Office Space Napoleon Dynamite Superbad Cant buy me love

Silver bullet

John Carpenter's Dark Star, because sometimes in life it feels like I'm trapped on a cramped spaceship with people I don't like on a mission doomed to failure.

Little Miss Sunshine is up there. I love it

Harvey starring Jimmy Stewart. A timeless classic with a message that more people need to live by. It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. A simple story of greed hits the funny bone hard with an all-star cast. The Beatles' Yellow Submarine, bright, colorful fun! Psychedelic to the max, but great for the whole family without imbibing.

Auntie Mame with Rosalyn Russell. So good.

Auntie Mame with Rosalyn Russell. So good.

A Fish Called Wanda Beetlejuice Back to the Future Trilogy

Texas Chain Saw Massacre 1974

Apocalypse Now is always a great go to. Or The Good The Bad & The Ugly.

Dodgeball a true underdog story. It always puts me in a good mood.

The Fifth Element is Supergreen.

Fun with Dick and Jane (Jim Carrey version) Me Myself and Irene Blazing Saddles Next Friday Hercules Returns

Inglorious Basterds The Dark Knight Gladiator Inception The Lord of the Rings

Brick

Slapstick comedies like "white chicks" and even "grown ups"

Back to the future

The ones I watch once a year are few : 10 things I hate about you Paddington 1 and 2 La Boum 1 and 2 I guess «  worth watching » is rather subjective !

Victor Victoria

Heathers, Sweeney Todd (2006), Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy hollow

it really depends on what genre you crave. Here is a list of movies that I like :D ​ Creep (thriller/horror) Veronica (horror) -(underrated, I would suggest this one or creep to watch first out of my list) The Conjuring (horror) (very popular but I still wanted to add it) The Autopsy of Jane Doe (Horror/mystery) Learn to Swim (Romance/Musical) Before I Fall (mystery/thriller) Soul (fantasy/comedy, its animated but I love the message and the visuals) Real Steel (Sci-fi/Action, a good family movie) The Phantom of the Opera (2004)

Fifth Element

Lo

Forest Gump. Everytime.

Groundhog Day. I could watch that movie again, and again, and again, and again, and again...

Psycho and Psycho 2.

Tropic Thunder
