+1 for me as well.

I also must watch 10 Things I Hate About You and Bring It On whenever they are on. 10 Things I'll watch just for the dance scene

MikeVic · 09-09-2008, 01:02 PM

I like the last three movies mentioned as well. Grandma's Boy is funny, and I have to watch 10 Things I Hate About You and Bring It On whenever they are on.

The Legend of Bagger Vance

PurdueBrad · 09-09-2008, 02:35 PM

A brief list from me:

Love Actually
Gremlins 1/2
For the Love of the Game

My wife is addicted to The Replacements which is on all the freakin' time so I end up watching that a ton as well.

Dr. Sak · 09-09-2008, 02:37 PM

I agree with The Replacements and For The Love of the Game

I think Love Actually is a pretty good movie. I think it's really well put together and the casting for the various parts was very well done.

The Replacements is also good.

Maybe the greatest movie ever made featuring Frank Stallone.

Raven · 09-09-2008, 07:41 PM

Young Guns

Buccaneer · 09-09-2008, 08:02 PM

What Women Wants. I would argue that it is not a chikflik (a great Mel Gibson vehicle) but even if some consider it to be so, that's cool. I love watching this over and over.

I'm glad some others like this movie. I think Uma Thurman's at her ultimate hotness in this movie.

MJ4H · 09-09-2008, 08:13 PM

A weird thing about What Women Want. I saw it advertised on tv the other day. Turned to me wife, incredulously, and said "did we watch that in the theater?" Under no circumstances, could I ever imagine going to the theater to watch that movie, nor do I remember actually doing it. Hell, it took a lot to get me out to see Dark Knight. What the hell could I have possibly been doing going to see that movie in the theater. I do have this recollection of watching it in a theater, though. To this day this movie gives me the creeps because I think I might have been adbucted and taken there to watch it against my will and then made to forget about it.

This is 100% true.

Schmidty · 09-09-2008, 08:51 PM

"The Mummy".

Um...I have a man-crush on Bredan Frazier, and of course Rachel Weisz is beyond hot. I am not ashamed.

Me too, I hadn't met anyone who had even heard of Beautiful Girls before.

On a side note, did you ever catch October Road on ABC? Same writer, Scott Rosenberg, and based on his life. Very similar characters with many parallels. I really enjoyed that show, but it didn't get picked up for a third season.

Neon_Chaos · 09-10-2008, 09:31 AM

Groundhog Day is one of those movies that I just need to watch if it's on.

I don't know why, it's such a damn great movie.

MikeVic · 09-10-2008, 09:36 AM

Groundhog Day and What Women Want are good too.

MJ4H · 09-10-2008, 09:37 AM

No idea why I love the movie Quick Change other than Geena Davis is hot in it.

jeheinz72 · 09-10-2008, 09:38 AM

Ditto on Groundhog Day

SFL Cat · 09-10-2008, 09:40 AM

Any Godzilla movie (except for the American remake).

TLK · 09-10-2008, 09:55 AM

Groundhog Day is a great movie and doesn't deserve to be anywhere near this thread. However my favorite movie of all-time probably deserves to be here : Rudy.

Speaking of Geena Davis, I really like both Stuart Little movies.. dunno why, but they're great.

That movie is the only thing Notre Dame that I like. Have you ever noticed that when his parents are entering the stadium they are actually playing the Penn State Fight Song?

Interesting, I hadn't noticed that before.

Penn State sucks!

I always watch Crimson Tide when it's on. Gene Hackman is a brilliant and eloquent artist. Another one of his I like is Enemy of the State. It's too bad Will Smith and Hackman didn't team up more often.

dolfin · 09-10-2008, 10:12 AM

Oh yeah...

I'm ashamed to say, because I love baseball movies (Jessica Biel's not bad either), I thoroughly enjoy Summer Catch.

Neon_Chaos · 09-10-2008, 01:06 PM

Greedy is also a movie I need to sit down and watch if it's on.

Phil Hartman as Frank McTeague delivered one of the best movie lines ever.

Bartlett: I'm sure this may come as a shock...
Frank: No, shitting a sailboat is a shock, this is a fucking catastrophe!

MikeVic · 09-10-2008, 01:15 PM

I did not see it. I vaguely remember it. Of course, had I been watching, it would have been canceled the first season like many of the shows I watch.

I agree about Groundhog Day should not be in this thread. The thread implies movies that not many people like except you. Groundhog Dog is one of the highest rated comedies, from critics and fans alike.

JediKooter · 09-10-2008, 07:45 PM

Big Trouble in Little China
Logan's Run
Night of the Comet

Groundhog · 09-10-2008, 07:53 PM

Meet the Feebles

Cuckoo · 09-10-2008, 08:08 PM

Mars Attacks.

Not sure if this applies because I know exactly why I like it. It cracks me up. But I seem to recall it being pretty widely panned and not making too much money.

I felt the same way when someone mentioned Major League.

I mentioned that. Yeah, I think I screwed up with that one. It's an awesome movie and ca be justified for being liked by many.
