Your mission: answer the question in the comments with a good story.
If you don’t have a good story, you are encouraged to make one up.
If you could see one movie again for the first time, what would it be and why?
Princess Bride
A friend of mine insisted we see it while we were at the mall. I thought he’d lost his mind, since I assumed it would mostly be about princesses, like some dopey Disney knock-off.
I was very surprised.
I wish I could be that surprised again, instead of speaking every line along with the movie.
Outlaw Josey Wales.
“It’s not for eatin’ just for lookin through”
… and more
The Wizard of Oz
Must have been about 5 years old when I first saw it and I was totally fascinated by it…and oddly, very few movies, if any, have awed me that much since.
I like The Wizard of Oz a lot but I always found it very depressing when I was a kitten. Maybe because the networks only showed it in the Fall – the most depressing time of the year. “Over the Rainbow” didn’t sound hopeful to me – it sounded deeply sad.
The Blue Brothers. Love that movie.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
For me it’s The Wild Bunch, one of the best westerns ever made. “Lets go! Why not?”
Big Hand For The Little Lady.
It has one of the most surprising and hilarious endings you’ll see. It makes the movie great but once you’ve seen it you can’t get the magic back. The movie is just so so the second time, well, so so for the cast of it. It’s a very g9od cast.
Animal House. I never tire of it.
You are now on double secret probation for watching it way too many times .
Alien.
With all the sequels, everyone knows Ripley. I want to re-experience that surprise; sitting there, KNOWING Captain Dallas was going to defeat the Alien and survive, but it winds up being RIPLEY!!
Airplane!
Two movies come to mind…both classics from the nineteen fifty’s. The first one is…The Attack of the Mucus Man. Next is that all time classic…The Thing that Ate Philadelphia. They just don’t make them like this anymore.
