Movies with "legs"

[miltk]

What movies can you watch over and over and over and over again. These movies can be great, they can be pure schlock,,,,,,,but they usually contain a hook, something that suckers you in. Like I love movies where two masters of their trade square off,,,a battle of wits or whatever.

and then there's these,,,someof which I'm embarrassed to admit(which is why it's good that I don't use my real name )

Bring It On....I LOVE the hook of this movie.
Mean Girls
Dark City...AWESOME MOVIE with a great hook.
You Only Live Twice.
Pygmalion
Shop Around The Corner
Kung Fu Hustle
Die Hard
Return Of The Dragon

It's a Wonderful Life: A Christmas movie that makes me tear up everytime.
The Ten Commandments: An Easter movie with Edward G. Robinson in an New Yawk accent in Biblical times, "Where's your Messiah now, yeah see?" Billy Crystal did that impression in his act, so I thought it was in the movie.
National Lampoon's Vacation- A movie for the summer when Chevy Chase was funny.
I can't think of a movie for Thanksgiving.

Re: Movies with "legs"

three of my many faves:

dead again - kenneth branaugh/emma thompson, back when they were married. great story about love, reincarnation, and karma being a bitch with atrociously large scissors.

princess bride - robin wright (not sure if she was mrs. penn then...oh wait--no, she wasn't. maybe madonna still was)/cary elwes. oh mah gawd. when cary elwes so sexily said, "there's a shortage of perfect breasts in the world. twould be a pity to damage yours," i asked god for perfect breasts (yay for the power of prayer!).

henry V - kenneth branaugh/emma thompson. i love shakespeare, i love branaugh, and i loved his performance as the once ne'er do well prince hal who reveals himself in this last play of a tetralogy as a commanding, dynamic, king beloved by his people. once more into the breach, dear friends!

Time Machine was great.

"7th Voyage of Sinbad" had legs for a long time. I outgrew it once I hit 40.
