Go-to movies

Hot Rod

Reminds me of Hot Rods to Hell, which came out in '67 and was the first movie I remember thinking was really awful. Hilariously bad dialogue (hipster dialogue written by octogenarians) and a dumb plot. Recommended!

I found the trailer for the movie, so in just two minutes you can experience this cinematic masterpiece. Even in this '60s, the dialogue seemed ridiculously absurd.

[Omaha 680]

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.

Revolutions? Really? Matrix and Reloaded are amazing, but I think Revolutions is possibly the most disappointing concluding movie in a series ever. I'm really hoping they fix the story in the coming movie.

Hot Rod

Yes.

A few of mine:

Apollo 13 (Engineers are the heroes!)
Back to the Future I and II
Dr. Strangelove
Rogue One
Elf
Zoolander
Nacho Libre

I always get stuck on these if they're on cable and I happen across them, so I suppose they count.

We Were Soldiers
The Dirty Dozen
Jack Reacher
Pale Rider

I'm sure there's more I'll think of

I liked Pale Rider better the first time when it was High Plains Drifter and/or Shane. I've been binging on modern westerns lately. Dances with Wolves, Unforgiven, True Grit (Coen bros remake), The Missing, and Lonesome Dove miniseries.

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?
Raising Arizona
Men In Black
The Matrix (only the first one NWC!)

Yes, absolutely. I was basing my list on ones that show up while I'm channel surfing. I usually don't see those though.

Meh. I couldn't get over the guy getting gut-shot one day (a death sentence in the 1800's) and back in the saddle like nothing happened a day or two later.

Eh. He got lucky. The bullet didn't penetrate viscera or hit an artery. It could happen!

I've made a terrible mistake. I meant Reloaded. We shall not speak of Revolutions ever again.
