Suprising that you all are listing movies that I own and watch over and over. This tells me good movies are pretty much universal (but music sure isn't)! I'm a big sci-fi fan and own the majority of these movies on many formats (including beta, vhs, LD and video 8). I've recently been picking up many of these on bluray 's from pawn shops at an alarming rate because they are so cheap (10 for 10 at EZpawn). One movie I watch on a regular basis and haven't seen listed is "Knowing". Yea, and we watch planes trains and autos at thanksgiving, polar express and home alone at Christmas. I can't leave out my fav sports movies...."42", "Hoosiers", greatest game ever played, league of their own and Will Smith is the baddest caddy of all time! I've always collected movies in lieu of pay tv (It seemed to me everytime a big sports star got a huge contract the rates would go up)

I would watch Knowing again. Awesome plane crash. Hilarious scene with Nick Cage and a baseball bat too. I remember reading that Richard Kelly who wrote/directed Donnie Darko was going to take it on. Would have been a good fit.

How did I forget about Taxi Driver?!

David and Lisa + Lilith were both awesome movies. Whoa, Janet Margolin was a knock-out. I noticed a few months ago that I have LOTS of movies that involve an insane asylum of some sort. Speaking of which, I also just remembered Session 9 that is another with high rewatchability for me.

I've only seen Scenes From A Marriage once but remember a particularly funny scene that had me laughing out loud. Don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it but I'm sure you know the one!

Tim, I also noticed you listed Frank Perry's The Swimmer with Burt Lancaster with that magnificent score by Marvin Hamlisch based on a short story by John Cheever. Do you have the fantastic blu ray version?

Yep, I've got that one. Artwork says it's Region A but it plays on my Region B-locked Sony. Love it when Burt does his hand claps in the horse scene. Same director as David and Lisa which is another ripper if you haven't seen it. Although I read Frank got fired and a young Sydney Pollack finished off The Swimmer. A great boiling hot summer evening watch.

Did you ever see Frank and wife, Eleanor Perry's movie LAST SUMMER .... another interesting watch. "David, David, Look at me, Tell me David, what do you see?" DAVID: "I see a Pearl of a Girl....' [from DAVID & LISA].

See the source image


And shortly thereafter, Stanley Kubrick cast Keir Dullea in 2001: A Space Odyssey!

Not yet, but it's on my list! That D&L dialogue was terrific - great script! Love that scene where Janet's walking towards the camera with her finger out.
