Probably everyone has a few movies that never get old now matter how many times you've watched them. I'm just wondering what they are ...

Here are some that I've watched over and over and still love.

Goonies
The Sound of Music
My Fair Lady
For Me and My Gal
The King and I
Ever After
Indiana Jones trilogy
Star Wars (original trilogy)
Disney's Robin Hood
Beauty and the Beast
Sleeping Beauty
Wizard of Oz
First Knight
Little Women (the old one with June Allison in it)
Miss Congeniality
Braveheart
It's A Wonderful Life
War Games
Anne of Green Gables series
Dragonheart
The Labyrinth (I haven't seen this one forever)

That's all I can think of for now. Most of those I grew up on.

The Pink Panther Movies! :rock: yep.
Braveheart (seen the ending only once kept on falling asleep in the middle of it :bang: )
Dumb and Dumber
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers
That's all that I can remember at this time my movie collection is in another city far far away from where I am at this time.

Pink Panther rules!

I'm rather fond of:
Evolution

Gettysburg

Fight the Future (X-Files)

Simpsons :dizzy:

And a bunch of other things that won't fit here.

Besides the Bible there is only one book you need ever read:

Dune

Murder by Death
Sneakers
True Lies
Batman
Hot Shots!

Three Days of the Condor

Princess Bride is by far the best movie of ALL time!!

Some others I watch over and over are
Raising Arizona
Bringing Up Baby
Big Trouble in Little China
True Lies
Charade
Mulan
A&E's Pride and Prejudice (okay, it's a mini-series not a movie, but it's just SO good!)

the secret of NIMH

Anyone know that movie? I liked it a lot when I was a child.. it was similar to anime in some way, and the art was beautiful.

I would not be totally adverse to this either! I like the idea of a book forum. Even if it's not completely anime realted, it would be cool!

Yes. I loved it. It was a little scary for a kid, but a really cool movie!

What about "The Last Unicorn?" Another anime-ish movie that I grew up on.

> Dr. Strangelove (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb)

Oh, yeah! That's a great one! And anyone who says otherwise will have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company. (see the movie for why)

Other Peter Sellers movies that are under-recognized as genius: The Mouse That Roared, Being There, and (my favourite because it's a 007 movie -- just a wacked out one) Casino Royale. (He's actually 007 in this movie, although so is David Niven, and Ursula Andress, and Woody Allen (!), and ...)
