For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie
What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?
Snatch is such a great movie. For me it’s too close to call between Snatch and O Brother, Where Art Thou?. It took me a long time to realize that John Turturro was even in the movie because his acting is so out of character and well performed.
There Will Be Blood. Masterpiece.
Close second: No Country for Old Men
Snatch is definitely up there! Seen it a million times and can quote just about all of it, plus the soundtrack is outstanding!
Pro tip: watch with the subtitles on, you'll catch a ton of detail you missed.
People laugh when I tell them this but it's definitely Muppet Treasure Island. I love the muppets, I love the music, I love pirate movies, and Tim Curry. I could have just said Tim Curry and I feel like that would have been enough but it's really every aspect of the movie. It's PERFECT.
I'll go with the movie I've rewatched the most in my life
Shaun of the Dead
Hot Fuzz. I was thinking about how this movie is just edited/directed so perfectly. Not one second is wasted, so tightly packed. It's funny while taking the plotline very seriously.
Snatch is a damn good movie too, for a lot of the same reasons.
The Silence of the Lambs. I think it is perfect. It’s a “comfort” movie for me. My mind is weird I suppose.
I have so many favorites, which is why my Plex library is so large.
I'm gonna go with Everything Everywhere All At Once. But a close contender, perhaps tied, is the Barbie movie.
There will be blood. I love character studies and Daniel Day Lewis does just an amazing job.
I want to say The Matrix, but in all honesty it's Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.
Don't really have an absolute favourite, but one kinda obscure one that everyone should see is Tucker and Dale VS Evil
I'll go with "The big short" (but whiplash, there will be blood, parasite, tenet and upstream color come close). I love the acid-adult-satire with a dark humor tint to explain an economic collapse 👉🏻👈🏻
I could watch The Emperor's New Groove all day, every day and never get tired.
It never makes these lists unless I add it - The Fountain with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. Something about it just resonates with my soul.
Gattaca. The music is superb and the locations are awesomely brutalist. My favorite by a long shot.
The Incredibles (2004). There's probably a lot of nostalgia involved in my answer but early Pixar movies are my jam, never get tired of watching them.
Iron Sky. It's absolutely hilarious.
Grandma's Boy.
It's not like it's super good, or anything; but the characters are basically the same as my IRL friends and it's like hanging out with them whenever I watch it.
Lord of the rings (1978)
or
Jason and the argonauts
The Death of Stalin.
Right, what's a war hero got to do to get some lubrication around here?
Movie: Nausicaa
Movie series: Older Evil Dead / Army of Darkness
Director: Terry Gilliam
Genre: Cyberpunk (with the note that almost all modern cyberpunk is waterlogged garbage and I'm very disappointed)
I really like Training Day. Although I'm tempted to say Hot Fuzz now. Hot Fuzz has so many small things in it that each time I watch it there's something new.
Futurama: Bender's Big Score may not be the deepest film, but it's never failed to make me smile. "I can wire anything to anything! I'm the professor!"
Don't even think snatch is the the best Guy Ritchie movie. Lock, stock and two smoking barrels is better imo.
Fear and loathing in las Vegas is definitely near the top of the list.
My comfort movies include A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, and the Naked Gun series. Also always really liked Moonrise Kingdom.
Different movies at different times in my life. The one that comes to mind currently is About Time (2013). Lovely film.
The Rocketeer
