What's a movie you can watch often and it never gets old?

Moooulllttteeee Paaassss_ssss
The Fifth Element

The Big Lebowski. Simultaneously ridiculous and incredibly sophisticated. People who think its "just" a stoner comedy may have some more viewings to go 🙂
- Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
- I never realized it was considered a stoner comedy! It's quite a bit better than one I've seen in that category!
  
  It gets the stoner comedy reputation as the dude is stoned throughout. He's a character in the movie though, not then full tone. That's probably why it's so good. It blends so many genres with an interesting interweaving plot and wonderful dialogue.
  It's a deserved reputation as it's great to watch stoned. Especially when the dude is confused and so are you. Or the psychedelic sequences. However it's also not deserved as it's so much cleverer than that with differen levels. A stoner comedy doesn't normally have a coherent plot and levels.
- Especially when you dive into the fan made theories, like Donny is a figment of Walters imagination, Walter killed his ex-wife and her husband, the dude is the big Lebowski's illegitimate son.
  
  I don’t think the Dude could be his illegitimate son since that’s part of the reason Maude referred him to that doctor. He wouldn’t have been very “thorough” if he missed that they were related.
  
  Roll tide.
- Don't be fatuous.

Office Space
- I could set the building on fire....
- PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean?
- It's wild how relatable it still is nearly 30 years later.

Life of brian
- I raise you The Holy Grail.
  
  Blasphemer! You're only making it worse for yourself!
  
  The Meaning of Life; Jabberwocky & Brazil if you're adventurous (Gilliam's hand directing, these last 2).

Groundhog Day
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Megamind
Pirates of the Caribbean (2003)
The Princess Bride
- The thing about Groundhog Day is that you only have to watch it once to have seen it several times.
  
  I live that movie every damn day
- Wish they'd make a new release for the 4k version of Pirates. From what I've heard the one out now is pretty bad in terms of color grading and detail.

Blazing Saddles
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Idiocracy
There’s something about that close-to-home dystopian outlook that calms me. Now go away, I’m batin’!
- I like money.

Lord of the Rings
Die Hard

Hackers. Yes, it's corny - cheesy, even - but it had a great cast with awesome chemistry, and it did a great job at capturing the zeitgeist of hacker/punk culture. Plus so many memorable quotes...
- Hack the planet!
  
  CLI + VR and specially GPUs to be able to hack in those UI... For a moment while watching Superman (2025) I had those flashbacks (Luthor's employees in fight scenes).
- You are forgetting the soundtrack! Its still amazing and slaps!

Big Trouble In Little China.
Marathon Man [Dustin Hoffman, Lawrence Olivier] seems to have been designed for multiple viewings. A character seen briefly in one scene turns up later in the movie. A quick telephone call becomes incredibly important but you have to be paying close attention to every minute.

Clue.
Sometimes my friends and I just sit around quoting it until we've made it through the entire movie, so maybe there's no point in rewatching it, but we do anyway.
- It... it... flames. Flames, FLAMES, on the side of my face!

The good old Blues Brothers boys.

The Royal Tenenbaums
The Princess Bride
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Hot Fuzz
The Big Lebowski

For me it's The Matrix.
I never like to retread old ground, but this one's an exception. It's hard to overstate how much it blew our minds 26 years ago. I might have a soft spot for it too because I was raised sheltered and it was the first rated R movie I saw.
- I saw The Matrix a few times in theaters and watched it regularly when the dvd came out.
- It's a shame they didn't make any sequels. The creators probably decided it was a complete story rather than milk it to death like Star wars. Guess that's for the best!

Super troopers
Harold and Kumar go to white castle
Ghost busters

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy,The big lebowski, Dogma, Pulp fiction, Conspiracy,

Liar, liar.
Nearly every single line in that movie that Jim Carrey delivers is not only funny but his delivery and antics are a work of art. It's like watching Messi dribble the soccer ball. Cary ewles gets an honorary mention for playing the straightman and absolutely killing it.
- What’s wrong with me?!
  I’m getting what I deserve I’m reaping what I sow—
  
  I'm so glad my gift could bring them closer together. My plan to phase myself out is nearly complete.

My Neighbour Totoro

The Princess Bride
Shawshank Redemption
Hot Fuzz
Penguins (of Madagascar): The Movie

Evolution.
It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they're making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they're working on. I mean, who doesn't love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.
It's fun, it's ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.
Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans. ::: spoiler spoiler (it's the butthole, they attacked a giant alien anus with soap to save the day) :::
- Oh shiiit, I used to love this movie as a kid/teen. Time for a re-watch I think.
- Anti dandruff shampoo!

Alien
Aliens
Too bad they didn't make any more of them.
- Romulus is better than it has any right to be. The Alien 3 “Assembly Cut” is also decent. Not good, but not awful.
- Best movies ever? Maybe. Maybe.

Clerks
- BERSERKER
  
  Would you like some making fuck BERSERKER
- In a row?!
- Try not to suck any dicks on your way to the parking lot.

Rear Window
The Princess Bride
Joe vs the Volcano
Idiocracy
- Rear windows is such a fantastic film. It surprised me how well it holds up.

The greatest cinematic masterpiece of the 21st century, of course: Shrek

Mad Max: Fury Road

Blade Runner
I'm surprised this hasn't been said already and would expect it to be one of the top comments.

Fight Club
- It sucks that people take the movie the wrong way and think it glorifies male toxicity. Now there’s nazi fight clubs happening all around the world.
  
  Now there’s nazi fight clubs happening all around the world.
  I’m OK with this. No amount of blows to the head is a healthy amount. Let them knock each other concussed or blind.

  Hey hey, check this out! Check this out! She’s a brick. Nuh nuhnuh. Hooooouse!
- Moneyball - very good choice. I'd like to add "The Big Short" as well.
  
  Both based on books by the same dude! Something I didn't realize for quite some. I need to go read his shit.

As an oldster, I notice that almost all of the movies listed here are more than 20 years old. Most of the cultural references on Lemmy are much more recent than that.
