Hi, just wondering if people here want to share their thoughts on 3 movies (any country, any language) that you have watched 3 times or more, by choice, not compulsion. Please exclude movies you had to watched many times due to the nature of your work. Tell us, in one short para per movie, why you liked the movie, to make you watch it 2 or more times by choice. I will consider the entire Star Wars series as one movie, in case any of you want to mention it.
Let me start by stating my own:
The Untouchables, starring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery. Watched at least 5 times.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very beautiful movie. The sets, the costume(Giorgio Armani), the cinematography, the music (Ennio Moricone), even the violence is beautifully choreographed(the baby scene). The Art Direction (Art Decor period) is just pure eye-candy.
Raiders of the Lost Ark, starring Harrison Ford. Watched at least 7 times.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is one of those movies you never get tired of watching. The action and suspense sequences are spaced out very comfortably, you don't fee tired, unlike some modern CG action flicks where you feel so giddy. The rest of the trilogy were pretty good too. There have been complaints of this series being very American xenophobic, with not so flattering portrayal of peoples like the Latin Americans, the Chinese, the Indians and the Arabs. Well, just watch the action and story and forget the political incorrectness.
Chocolat, starring Johnny Depp, Juliet Binoche. Watched 4 times.
---------------------------------------------------------------
First watched on the plane on a flight to the US. Watched it twice more on DVD and once more on the TV in the UK. The humour never ceased to make me laugh every time. The dramatized religious bigotry is very real in real life. How a person who wants to change people's lives got changed in the process. At the end, when people start to accept, tolerate, and see the better side of everyone else, it was so beautiful. Fictitious no doubt, but it makes me want to make this world a better world.
There are more movies, but for this thread, these are enough.
Please feel free to share your pick of 3 movies you watched at least 3 times.:thumbsup:
