Classic Movie Rewatch Thread

[tumorboy]

Just watched Space Odyssey again. Taking nominations for next movie to watch for discussion. The rules movie should be around 2 decades or more old. Second rule needs to be cinematic. Or for a better word something that must be appreciated on large HD screens. My nomination Last of the Mohicans

Your second rule makes it more difficult for me. I have been watching older movies - even going back to the 1930s for awhile now. My original thought was The Philadelphia Story, Cool Hand Luke, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, but I don't think they are going to fit with Rule 2.

Sorry not sorry . My reason for the rule is now with access I have to classic cinematic type movies. And large HD TV. It doesn’t make sense for rewatch where the tech isn’t needed.

Watched this last night for the first time in about 20 years

Probably this...

[Menace Sockeyes]

I nominate Videodrome. Super relevant to today's media saturated culture, so much symbolism to talk about, an unreliable protagonist for whom reality/fantasy/horrifying hallucinations all start to blur, and nude scenes Debbie Harry of Blondie (about as cinematic as you get).

Been awhile loved it when I saw it. Definitely will be near the top so far

I watched ER with kids last weekend, I forgot how cringe some of the scenes were

 

[Mister_Man]

First Blood yes. The rest a big no.

Rambo 4 (the mission rescue in Burma) was pretty damn good.

 

[tumorboy]

Rambo 4 (the mission rescue in Burma) was pretty damn good.

He directed that one it was decent. But First Blood towers above all those other ones. Much better movie. Story, impact on movies.

 

[Bro D]

I just watched Escape from Alcatraz the other day. Hold's up great

 

[ICWestfan]

I couldn't watch Iowa play last night (eyes bleeding) so I surfed around and saw Dr. Strangelove was on. I watched that.

 

[kn288]

I caught Unforgiven over the weekend. Great movie.

 

[fredjr82]

I still have nightmares about the fridge in Requiem and the baby on the ceiling in Trainspotting. Great movies

Trying to think of something people may not have seen, that feels kind of "big" at least:

North By Northwest - great Hitchcock action comedy
Stagecoach (1939) if you want to go old, it's surprisingly cinematic for it's age
Citizen Kane - if you haven't seen it, it's as good as its rep
The Good the Bad and The Ugly / Once Upon A Time In The West - both great cinematic westerns

 

[tumorboy]

Dark City

 

[tumorboy]

Not old enough yet.
No Country For Old Men
There Will Be Blood
The Dark Knight ( If you snicker. Fight bar).
