    I have genuinely watched less than twenty films in my entire life, basically because I don’t have the concentration span for them.
    But I have watched Dumb & Dumber easily 100+ times

    Zulu. Watched it at pictures as a nipper and several times since. Ironically, I've not watched it for about 3 years on purpose so that when I watch it again it'll be Brill all over again!

    Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Sometimes because I really like to watch it with new people, sometimes because I just love it.

    The combo of that specific era of American TV, the Cold War and just the whole entry-level conspiracy theorism of it really gets me.

    Also, I've probably seen both Kill Bill films loads of times. I really appreciate their dedication to stylishness above everything else.

    I was supposed to be watching one of them at the cinema again today, but I forgot about it. I was knackered after travelling to Peterborough and back and standing the whole match, so had I remembered in time I would probably have cancelled anyway, but I’d fancied watching Inception in the IMAX again.

    There are several films that I’d happily put on every week - Layer Cake, 30 Days of Night, both Blade Runner films, The Thing, Casablanca.

    And there are several films that me and the kids watch regularly - The Princess Bride, The Dark Knight, Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver, Kick Ass, Kingsmen, as well as the greatest TV series ever, The Haunting of Hill House.

    Hey I'm glad to see there's still some big fans, of Highlander 1. :)
    Its a travesty though that one of the best ever films, was followed up by one of the worst ever sequels. :eek:

    My "got to" film that I watch more than any other, is Mike Basset. :)
    And of course I still watch and still quote, The Life of Brian. :rolleyes:

    Not really into rewatching films, but one I’ve probably seen most in recent yrs is ‘The Highway Men’, in which Kevin Costner & Woody Harrelson play the guys given the job of hunting and killing Bonny & Clyde.

    Aww yeah lol, I'm glad there's somebody else, who also likes this film.
    Its a star filled film, but its also a bit boring admittedly, with no car chases or sex scenes or murders. :rolleyes:
    But Al Pacino really owns it, as the character 'Ricky' Roma.
    And Alec Baldwin was ace as the horrible chief executive, who slagged off everybody in the office.

    As you say, @Acido Tyke, it's an incredible cast and a great film. I'd love to go and see it on the stage some time. I even named my first cats after the unseen heads of the company, Mitch and Murray.

    Here's the annoying Alec Baldwin, doing his bit superbly!.
    And hey Burgs, if you had mentioned Mitch and Murray to begin with... I would have known you were on about this film. :rolleyes:
