I haven't known what movies to watch lately. Does everyone have their own treasure movies that they've seen many times? ๐Ÿ˜€

the three lotr, its a wonderful life, miracle on 34th street all versions, the orginal star wars trilogy, star trek one and two and four, ladyhawke, up, princess bride, close encounters of the third kind, alien, aliens, forbidden planet, raiders of the lost ark, rocky horror picture show, charlie brown specials, grinch who stole chrismass cartoons, frosty cartoons, the blues brothers, original dune movie, all the monty pythons I know of (grail, brian, yellowbeard, meaning of life), time bandits, spaceballs, terminator 1 and 2, yellow submarine, airplane1+2, top secret. Maybe it should be limited to post 2000. Thing is when you go back there are things broadcast every year or when they were broadcast you made it a point to catch it then in the age of video cassetes if you did not find anything you felt like that week for the weekend you maybe picked up something you liked or you had a friend who had not seen it or something. Not as much came out every year and in addition as more comes out the total pool is way larger. so it is harder to rewatch things. Like I think I have only watch the harry potters twice but drop them into the 90's and im sure they would have been a regular pickup or i would have owned them. That being said there are some older movies that are just classics to and there is a reason you went out of your way to catch it broadcast.
