    Castaway
    Mission Impossible 4-6
    Matrix and Revolutions
    Bourne Trilogy
    Harry Potter 3-7
    Wall-E
    Whale Rider

    These are movies that if I see on TV I'll watch, no matter how many times I've seen them. I should probably update the list with more recent ones.

            Riding Giants
            Collateral
            Office Space
            The Graduate

            Inception will probably become one of these movies but I need to watch it again.
            A few to add to the list.

            Step Brothers
            On the Waterfront
            Everyone Wants Some!
            What's Eating Gilbert Grape
            Tootsie

            John C. Reilly keeps on popping up in these movies.
            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                    Every time I eat asparagus I'm reminded that I haven't the faintest soupçon of why you like that movie.

                        I like this one too. It's a superb, drift off on a Saturday afternoon film.

                                Just watched the original a couple of weeks ago. I think I preferred it.

                                    I haven’t seen it. I’m a fan of Christian Bale, and I think he does great in it. Maybe I’ll look at the original during next week’s quarantine.

                                    Oh yeah. ‘Prestige’ also.

                                        I liked the remake. The shootout was just a little overblown. Probably not a very popular take.

                                        I also liked The Prestige.

                                                Go ahead and argue about everything else, but Princess Bride should be #1 on everyone's list. How has this not been mentioned until now?!

                                                Others I agree with that can be re-watched endlessly:
                                                O Brother Where Art Thou?
                                                Groundhog Day

                                                Also consider:
                                                What About Bob?
