Donnie Darko. It's exactly the movie I would've made if I had

gone in that direction instead of the web. The director is the

same age as me and I think we both grew up being influenced by a lot of

the same things. I think I like the original version better than

the director's cut though.

This topic leaves me in a bit of a quandary...

The reason being that there are movies that I absolutely love, for their 'literariness' and technical prowess, but that don't necessarily bear repeated casual viewings, and then there are those that I can watch over and over and enjoy as much the 1000th time as I did the first!

As far as the favorite movies that bear repeated viewings:

Rocky & Bullwinkle + Fractured Fairy Tales! (now how can anyone fault the production values, choice of setting, costumes, special effects, casting...anything for that matter![:P])

Bringing Up Baby (Hepburn/Grant)

Holiday (Hepburn/Grant)

Adventures of Robin Hood (obviously the Errol Flynn version!!!)

Sea Hawk

Captain Blood

The Big Sleep

You Can't Take It With You

The Thin Man Series

Maltese Falcon

Night At the Opera (or anything by the brothers Marx!)...but how do you top the Stateroom and the Sanity Claus scenes!?

Beau Geste (Gary Cooper)

The Music Man

MP & the Holy Grail

Coca-Cola Kid

BHope/BCrosby Road flicks

Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai (its really nice to find a sci-fi romp where you can actually suspend your disbelief and go with it! Plus its nice to finally see Lithgow play a non-weenie character! His career best! )

Valley Girl (Nicholas Cage's 1st)

Jeremiah Johnson

Dances With Wolves

12 Monkeys

Blade Runner

Dark City

Gangs of New York

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Charles Laughton version)

Shawshank Redemption

The Wizard of Oz

K. Burns - The Civil War - Any disk! Just stick one in!

...or any of the

Andy Griffith, Have Gun Will Travel, Twilight Zone or Wild Wild West episodes

And I am sure there are many I have overlooked in my 2 minute brain storm!

But these are not necessarily the movies that I would list as the 'Greatest' of all time! ...Those that are truly amazing but which don't lend themselves to anytime repeated watchings! And I will not even attempt that list!

To pick just one, I'd say "Never Cry Wolf".

But then again, I almost typed in "Dr. Zhivago", "To Kill a

Mockingbird", "Raising Arizona", "Bridge on the River

Kwai", or "Downhill Racer" (getting close to ski season).

Also, I can't imagine the world without "The Wizard of Oz".

Certainly in my top 5 favorites of all time would be "You Can't Take It With You" with Jimmy Stewart and Lionel Barrymore (just to name two). If you haven't seen this movie, I STRONGLY suggest you find a copy or look for it on AMC or TCM. It's an absolutely GREAT movie! Not much subwoofer action but I'm sure you'd enjoy it anyway. I think it won best picture in 1938.
