A lot of these are down to repeat viewings in my younger years. Films I'll watch regardless of how far along it's been on for include - Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid Master & Commander : the far side of the World The Bridge on the River Kwai Rear Window The Towering Inferno The Third Man And, as prompted @BOF, I've found myself watching the first scene only of Inglorious Basterds before switching over. There's probably loads of others but off the top of my head, they're the films I can happily jump into, comfy old slippers style. I can watch any Hitchcock film over and over again. I just love them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooligan Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 North West Mounted Police (1940) In my opinion not a memorable film but a decent film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted May 5, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2017 16 hours ago, HanoiVillan said: Definitely the worst movie I've ever seen, especially from a technical point of view - even worse than Plan 9 From Outer Space - but to be fair it was made as a passion project by rank amateurs so I can't dislike it like I do many Hollywood efforts. Worst-made: Manos Least Amusing: Big Momma's House Most Punchably Smug: The Edukators Most Boring Yet Hateful: John Wick I'm sure others will come back to me. This is a fair point - it is terrible, but hey, I guess if they had fun making it then it does make it less dislikeable than many Hollywood films. If we are talking about overall dislike for any reason rather than just for technical or quality reasons, then I would have to put The Force Awakens up there for me. Yes it was extremely well-made, yes a lot of people liked it, but to me it was a cynical second-rate remake of a classic film (or two) with utterly abysmal dialogue, awful scriptwriting and some terrible acting. I was so annoyed watching that film... it could have been so so so much better. I had really high expectations for it (stupidly I suppose) and felt massively let down by it.

Chindie Posted May 5, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2017 Very Christopher Nolan-y. Hopefully he's solved his problems with directing action. Looks good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh definitely add Jaws to mine. I'm sure there are loads I'm forgetting. Exorcist too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
