What DVD(s) Do You Watch A Little Too Much?

[pimentoLoaf]

Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and ... :eek:

[sethypoo]

I don't really watch DVD's over and over and over and over, but I have been getting strange urges today to watch Sideways over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

[devilot]

About a Boy. Such a fun movie, and an incredible soundtrack (and yes, I listen to it over and over and over and over again).
The Little Mermaid.
The Sound of Music.
Sabrina. The one w/ Audrey Hepburn.

[mad jew]

Donkey Porn™ and Black Hawk Down. :o

[Jaffa Cake]

My Doctor Who Series 27 boxed set is getting more than its fair share of play time recently. :cool:

[Airforce]

Super Troopers
Harry Potter 1-4 (Yea, I'm a bit too old for this, but no one knows me on here in person. =p )
Full Metal Jacket
Kung Pow

[DISCOMUNICATION]

Any DVD I've just bought that doesn't suck.

[killuminati]

Ali G!!!!

That **** never gets old. It's hilarious, I fall over laughing everytime.

[Chundles]

M*A*S*H
The Micallef Pogram
Coupling (the real version)
The Muppet Show - season one.

[khammack]

The Princess Bride

Ocean's Eleven (Clooney/Pitt/etc)
The Big Lebowski
Office Space

A few more obvious choices (Matrix, LOTR, etc).

Edit: Just read "Coupling, the real version" and I'd like to second that one, fantastic stuff.

Airplane!
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Ocean's Eleven
Office Space
Scarface
Sleeper
Snatch
Spaceballs
The Jerk
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory

irmongoose

[nbs2]

Firefly
Serenity
Desperado
Once Upon a Time in Mexico

The funny thing is that I always thought that the Buffy/Angel crowd was strange and figured that Wheadon was the master-loser. I still don't like those two, but Firefly....at least one disc is always in our 5 disc changer.

One thing that Rodriguez and Wheadon do have in common is that they like to have complete control over everything and can take any budget and stretch it like no tomorrow.

[Uma888]

Chris Rock : Never Scared
Chris Rock : Bigger & Blacker
Chris Rock : Bring the Pain
Dave Chappelle: Live at Fillmore
Def Comedy Jam (Too many acts)

Black Books
Xfiles S1-S9
Snatch
Revolver
Lock Stock

The Prodigy - Thier Law

[rockthecasbah]

UHF and the Family Guy DVDs

[jelloshotsrule]

i've watched the family guy dvds a ton.

and episodes of both the US and UK office... dvds and newer episodes too

[Josh396]

I'd have to say my Family Guy DVD's and Good Will Hunting. I just got the Bourne Identity and Supremacy and I think I'll probably see those a few more times in the new future. If someone puts a movie in I can sit and watch it no matter how many times I've seen it, even if I thought it was a bad movie.

[ShaunPriest]

Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2!

[MattG]

The Big Lebowski...way, way too many times

Futurama seasons 1-4 whenever I feel like it

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Shawn of the Dead

[Lyle]

I'm not one to watch the same DVDs over and over, but my wife sure is. She has a "core" set of chick flicks (including While You Were Sleeping; Two Weeks' Notice; Father of the Bride; You've Got Mail; The Wedding Planner) that she's watched literally dozens of times.

[Thanatoast]

There are a couple of standards, of course - Princess Bride, Empire Records, Real Genius.

I'd watch Requiem for a Dream more often except it's too painful.

Lately I've been on a Super Size Me kick, though. I'm actually really surprised that I haven't gotten bored of that movie. It's been interesting and engaging every time I've seen it.

[SilentPanda]

For as many DVD's as I own you'd think I'd watch them multiple times... hrmmmm.... there are a few that I've watched more than once but... do you people seriously watch the same movie once a month even? Not knocking it but just wondering if I understand the question...

I can see watching a certain Christmas movie once a year as tradition or maybe the movie that you and your spouse/significant other first saw together. I mean... there are certain movies that I like (Big Fish comes to mind) but I can't see myself watching it monthly... but maybe my problem is that I buy too many DVD's so there always seems to be something new to choose from? Right now I have 198 movies in Delicious Library which includes also TV series (24, BSG, Complete Buffy, ER, Friends, Scrubs; to name a few) and also some box sets (Indiana Jones trilogy, Original Pink Panther (all 5), Back to the Future trilogy) and things like that... but I never really think to watch them over and over and over... I've watched Black Hawk Down, Big Fish, The Rock, Interview with a Vampire, Lord of the Rings, etc, etc a few times each but watch them over and over and over? Maybe I'm too picky in terminology... :)

There are even a few that I would place at the top of my list (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for one) but I've only watched that one once!

[Onizuka]

Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2!

Damn straight!

I watch that, and:
Pulp Fiction
Fight Club
Office Space
Brianna loves Jenna :D
Resevoir Dogs
Boondock Saints
Garden State (let's face it Natalie Portman's the hottest girl on the planet)
The Indiana Jones Trilogy
Akira
High Fidelity
and so many more.

[jdechko]

The Incredibles :o

[jsw]

Many of those previously listed, as well as The Fifth Element.

[Chuckles]

Pirates of Silicon Valley. :p

[WillMac4Food]

The Princess Bride
-kev
I never get tired of that one.

My DVD's that I play all the time are:

-Matrix
-Transporter 1 and 2

[RugoseCone]

Many of those previously listed, as well as The Fifth Element.

There's just something about that movie that compels me to watch it everytime it's on television. I have it on DVD too.

In college it was (granted on VHS)...

The Man with Two Brains
Ice Pirates
Wall Street
Blame it on Rio
Kentucky Fried Movie

These five films were on two tapes and we'd just play them over and over. I've seen each of these films at least sixty times. Hey I lived in the same apartment for three years and we had no cable and got horrible over air reception! Nowadays there isn't anything I guess. Maybe Bad Lieutenant...

[cycocelica]

I forgot to add Curb Your Enthusiasm Seasons 1-4

[plinkoman]

happy gilmore
matrix
star trek 2,6,8 & 10
family guy
futurama
office space

[nagromme]

I do not own a single DVD of my own :o And now I'm waiting for Blu-Ray to start my collection! I've also never owned a DVD player--I play movies to TV from my PowerBook.

But I do WATCH a lot of DVDs, rented or borrowed (Netflix is great), and Firefly has gotten more than its share of re-watches. I'm more likely to own TV series than movies, because I could loan discs out, or watch an episode here and there.

Ultimately I'd like to own:

Firefly/Serenity
Buffy and Angel
Galactica
Twin Peaks
One Foot in the Grave

I'm not so sure about movies--occasional re-rentals fit my habits for them. Maybe, if I ever start a movie collection:

Amelie
City of Lost Children
Brazil
Beloved and Below (two best ghost stories ever)
Being John Malkovich
Memento

I've also thought of starting a dystopia collection:

Blade Runner
City of Lost Children
Delicatessen
Brazil
Kafka
Dark City
The Trial

[2nyRiggz]

what i watch too much of is:

LOTR: All three of em
Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind
Alien: quadtrilogy
Punch Drunk Love
Donnie Darko
Saving Private Ryan


Bless

[Blind Buzzard]

It's hard to find the time anymore to watch DVD's over and over. Back in college we didn't have cable, so movies like Dazed and Confused, Mallrats, and The Doors (to name just a few:rolleyes: ) were played over and over and over.

Today, if I were to watch anything from my collection a little too much, it would probably be either High Fidelity, Almost Famous, or my new one, Elizabethtown.

I really like a movie with an exceptional soundtrack!

[iBlue]

i watch Fight Club probably more often than the rest of the bunch.
Pulp Fiction gets a run for its money too
ummmm the Matrix movies get used a lot too.
Sin City gets a work-out because everyone seems to want to see it when they come over here.
Office Space
Star Wars (all of them depending on who's here)
oh and Reuben and Ed... it's a funny but rather unknown movie that i get a lot of people to watch. :) it's on tape though :-/
i watch a lot of HBO series' on comcast on demand (Sopranos, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, Carnivale, etc)

i dunno, i guess it all depends but those seem to be the most oftenly repeated ones.

[jsw]

Many of those previously listed, as well as The Fifth Element.

I just set up an HDTV for the first time in my life, got an HD cable box, and almost immediately saw that The Fifth Element was offered - free - in high-def. This must be the upcoming release for high-def DVDs. Man, it looks spectacular.
i watch a lot of ... comcast on demandAs the reigning MR Comcast On Demand cheerleader ;), you'll be happy to know that the HD section is just as good as the others. Or maybe you already know. I'm a wee bit late to the HD party.

[CompUser]

Office Space, Dodgeball, and Anchorman

And the total eclipse of the heart music video, but thats not a DVD, but I can certainly make it one.

good movie! i watch that whenever it's on HBO or whatever too.
i use Ruby Rod's "bzzzzzzzzzzzzz" (buzz off) gesture and sound to get my 3 year old out of my face sometimes too. :D don't you wish you could be put to sleep like that too? have someone come push a button and ......... *thud*

edit:

i am late to that party too... in fact i have yet to arrive, but i'm working on it ;) if only my husband wanted a HD telly as much as i do. (ironic twist of male-female roles eh?)

[jsw]

don't you wish you could be put to sleep like that too? have someone come push a button and ......... *thud*
I do! The Taser works well on the kids (well, not for sleeping, but for the "push a button and thud" aspect) but not so well on me (the spasms do tend to tire me out a bit, but I feel too energized to sleep after the current cuts off). A 5th Element sleep button would be well appreciated.

[jsw]

if only my husband wanted a HD telly as much as i do. (ironic twist of male-female roles eh?)
Indeed. My wife's been pushing for one for years, and I only recently decided to give in - found a cheap but decent 1920x1080 set, finally. It is ironic and counter-intuitive, I agree. ;)

my son has always been a very good sleeper but i could use that button on a friend's kid. her daughter is such a pain in the ass with sleep.

and part of my problem with the HD tellies is that i don't want to get just any old HDTV, i want to get a phenomenal one, once and for all. like a huge LCD flat screen HDTV to mount on the wall. this will run me $3,000 at the very very minimum. there is no way my husband will go for that unfortunately. :mad: he's mean like that.

[blackfox]

Pretty much any Christopher Guest movie (Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show etc)

The humor is just so subtle and brilliant that there is something new to laugh about with each viewing.

[jsw]

I got a 37" (yes, I know, not huge) Westinghouse that does 1920x1080 (truly - I hooked up the mini to verify it) and cost me $1534. If you can swing that, trust me - the HD content will hook him. Sports, nature, movies... it all looks amazing. Sure, he walks by it in the store. But at home, on the wall? He'll want it, and that $1500 investment might fetch you your $3000+ TV a few months down the road. ;)

[RugoseCone]

I've also thought of starting a dystopia collection:

Blade Runner
City of Lost Children
Delicatessen
Brazil
Kafka
Dark City
The Trial

Dystopia Collection! I like it! I own all listed but Kafka, The Trial, and Delicatessen. The last is FINALLY being released on DVD according to Amazon so I can add that real soon. But the others will first be added to my Netflix queue since you've got them with films I own and really enjoy.

Thanks!

not too shabby... hmmmm.... :cool: i don't think i can swing that $ amount at the moment but i imagine in the next year or so i might be able to pull it off. that's a good price, and it gives me hope. thanks :)

[jaydub]

• Dumb & Dumber
• Shaun of the Dead
• Anchorman
• Men in Black (whenever it's on HBO)

They just never get old...

[g30ffr3y]

surely no one here watches
the movie "Clue" as much as
i do...

-to make a long story short
-too late

i love that freaking movie...

my family guy dvds also get their
fair share of use.

[jsw]

I took a chance with the Westinghouse brand, and it's not the best LCD ever made from a backlighting point of view, but I'm quite happy with it.

OT: Another DVD set I watch way to much of? Anything sold by Disney. Children apparently are incapable of becoming bored with a movie.

[motherduce]

Blackhawk Down
Gladiator
Braveheart
Full Metal Jacket
Top Gun
Happy Gilmore

[zelmo]

Aliens
The Matrix
The Princess Bride
Desperado
Terminator
Firefly (whenever it's not on loan - might need a 2nd copy:eek::D)
Speed
The Fifth Element
Dinosaur (son's favorite)
King Arthur (guilty pleasure)

that's enough for now...

I'm sure I'm missing some... I can enjoy almost any Philip K. Dick movie on SOME level (Minority Report, Blade Runner, Total Recall, Screamers, Paycheck, Impostor... and In a Scanner Darkly is supposedly coming). Kafka and the Trial are more like alternative presents than futures, but somehow they fit the category in my mind.

[~Shard~]

Family Guy DVDs, that's pretty much it. Other favorite shows of mine I watch on my Mac, not on DVD. As for my DVD movies, I only own about 7 of them, and I would not say I watch any of them over and over and over. ;) :cool:

[Plymouthbreezer]

Jesus Christ Superstar
Jesus Christ Superstar
Jesus Christ Superstar
Jesus Christ Superstar
Jesus Christ Superstar

...OH, and Pink Floyd's The Wall. :D

[bobscliff]

American Psycho. I watch it over and over just because it's so f'in hilarious. And for uh, fashion tips. Dont just stare at it, EAT IT.

[Nanda Devi]

The French Connection
Mean Streets
Casino
Taxi Driver
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Do the Right Thing

...and, lately, Sideways has been getting a lot of play.

I always watch movies multiple times... I usually buy flicks I know I love rather than rent new ones.


Back in jr. high/highschool, I watched Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink and Heathers SO MANY TIMES it's ridiculous! :p

[CanadaRAM]

Captain Jack Sparrow, mate.

[treblah]

Pretty much any Christopher Guest movie (Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show etc)

My SO doesn't like ST, WfG, or AMW but we watch Best in Show at least once a week!
"They're flippers."

And my guilty pleasure is Mean Girls. It really is pretty funny and extremely easy on the eyes. ;)
