Re: Did you ever watch a movie and loved it so much that

There are so many, and I have my favorites (most have already been listed here) on DVD. But two I can think of now that a lot of people might not have heard of are

 

A Walk in the Clouds with Keanu Reeves

 

and

 

Something New with Sanaa Lathan and Simon Bsker

 

I will watch both of those with commercials. Smiley Happy

 

I'll come in on a Saturday afternoon and if DH isn't watching a sports channel, he'll be watching a movie with commercials - one that we already have on DVD. We've both done that a lot, and ask ourselves why we are doing this when we could just put the DVD in!! Smiley Wink

I don't now why because it's not even one of my favorite movies, but every time Perfect Storm is on, I have to watch it.

Re: Did you ever watch a movie and loved it so much that

I have a number but here are just a few:

 

The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit with Gregory Peck, a classic IMO

 

How Green Was My Valley, I adore this movie and bawl like a baby at the end. Love Donald Crisp, Maureen O'Hara, Roddy McDowell in this.

 

Stand By Me -- so touching in so many ways and the narrator's (Richard Dreyfuss) ending makes me cry.

Shawshank is one of my top 5 all-time favorite movies and every time I come across it I have to stop and watch.   Also Silkwood.

 

I am sure I have a few others, but my memory isn't serving me well. 

 

One movie that, years ago, I saw numerous times at the theater and have since seen many other times on tv was American Graffiti.  It was just a fun piece but I kept bringing more friends to the theater to see it and everybody always loved it.

 

Speaking of Ronny Howard movies - another hilarious piece, in which he didn't star but was his directorial debut, was Night Shift.   Some hilarious stuff there and I've also seen that one numerous times.

Re: Did you ever watch a movie and loved it so much that

Absolutely!  I watch tons of movies many, many times.  Just to name a few:  Vertigo, The Man who Knew Too Much, a few other Hitchcock movies, Casablanca, The King and I, Moonstruck, Chocolate, Harvey, Michael, and tons more.  I also re-read books.  I love Cozy Mysteries and as they run in a sequel, I wait a few years and read them again, i.e., The Pennyfoot Hotel series, Mrs. Jeffries, Victoria Thompson and many, many more,
