Doom (purely for the eye candy--Karl Urban and The Rock, meow!)
300 (um, for similar reasons, and also very visually stirring)
Underworld
Aliens
XXX
The Chronicles of Riddick
The LOTR movies
Old School
The Best Man
Something New
Van Helsing

The Waterboy


I'm sure there are more...

[Sharon]

Underworld is one of my favourite movies!!!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Underworld is a very, very re-watchable movie.

[new_user]

My favorite movies, LOL. Underworld, Jason Bourne, Riddick, Transporter, Tristan & Isolde, The Painted Veil, North & South (so many times), Persuasion (oh, Rupert!), O Brother Where Art Thou?, Borat. I probably can't see a romantic comedy more than twice. They're like a book of jokes.

[Sharon]

I wanted to be in that movie..maybe I will get to be in number 4 or
Eclipse lol

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

You have a few of my repeat offenders on your list, NU: The Bourne Identity and The Transporter. There's not a lot of romantic comedies I can watch a lot.
More movies I can watch a lot (when they come on)
While You Were Sleeping
Speed
A Walk in the Clouds

[new_user]

Yeah, I can see clips of Twilight again if I'm in the mood.

Yeah the only scenes in Twilight I want to see are when they bring the truck for Bella, walking on the beach and then end of the prom lol

[Arch , Mod]

LOTR came on yesterday. When I've gotten home from church and turned on the TV, flipping channels, I've came across The Two Towers. It was like 15 minutes, before the end.

Legolas was on that horse. I have to say that the horse scene, where he has to get on that white horse is memorable. That scene was a hot topic back, when that movie came out.

There's a part in the movie that made me laugh. It's the part where the tree that's on fire, goes stick his head in the water to put the fire out.

Now down to movies that I can give my attention too, if I am not busy.

1. Better Off Dead

2. LOTR Movies

3. Weird Science

4. The Goonies

5. Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom: Short Round made the movie interested.

6. Bring It Own: This the only version that I like

7. Get Over It

8. Clueless

9. Drive Me Crazy

That's all for now. I have more that if I am not busying and flipping the channel, they might get my attention.

[Jenn]

Emma

Pride and Predjudice

Sense and Sensibility (notice the pattern)

Clueless

Congo (can't explain that one)

Van Helsing (HJ naked, drool)

Long Kiss Goodnight (just broke up with this dude and went to the movies by myself for the first time and what a surprise to see a female kick butt!)

Dirty Dancing (Need I explain?)

Labyrinth (started my one sided preteen love affair with David Bowie)

The Devil Wears Prada (love the close, screw work ethics, I would have kept that job it's PRADA for goodness sake!)

High School Musical I & III (partially because of my little girl , but mainly because of Z.E shirtlessness)

[Arch , Mod]

Oh, I have to add Beverly Hills Cop.

--I haven't re-watched Twilight yet. I have the DVD and I'm waiting until I can give it my full attention.

That part is funny where the tree goes to put itself out. :)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Arch I haven't noticed that your list comes on that much lately. But there definitely are some repeats on there.

I end up watching the X-Men movies a lot too.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

I'm sensing that you're a romantic, Jenn. :)

[Jenn]

Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "I'm sensing that you're a romantic, Jenn. :)"

Yeah, a hopeless one at that:)

Forgot to add:
Ever After (Dougray Scott totally fell in love with him, so sweet then totally sexy bad a** in Mission Impossible II)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

It takes one to know one. Same here. :)

[Arch , Mod]

Danielle, speaking of X-Men, Wolverine comes out today.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

I won't be buying that one (until it's five dollars or even less). I was annoyed at what they did to Deadpool's character. I know I'm the only one on earth who wasn't fond of this movie. I liked the eye candy, but as a fan of the comic characters, I was pretty annoyed. I'm sure my mom will get a copy.

[Jenn]

Arch wrote: "Danielle, speaking of X-Men, Wolverine comes out today."

No, you are not the only one. Other than HJ naked (weird how I keep coming back to that?), I can not think of anything I liked about it. I almost forgot that I went to see it really.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Yeah, I thought Wolverine was out of character too. I am starting to get more and more disenchanted with the Hollywood movies, and that's sad coming from a serious movie buff.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

I do have to admit they did a good job with Gambit, but not enough to save the movie, though.

[Sharon]

Danielle my hubby got me the Twilight DVD and i haven't watched it yet

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

I forgot a few more movies I love to rewatch:

Batman Begins
Equilibrium (when I can catch this one)
Step Up
Black Hawk Down (so many beautiful guys in this movie)

[Sharon]

Oh yes good ole Legalos on the horse and the elephant and Dougray, that seems so long ago lol

[TinaNoir]

My repeat offenders fall into two categories: oldies and testosterone fanboy stuff

In the Oldies I like to watch over and over:
Gilda (Rita Hayworth is a stone Goddess! in the movie and the dialogue is razor sharp)
All About Eve (ditto on the razor sharp dialogue and Bette Davis being a goddess)
Singing in the Rain - like comfort food except in movie format
The Godfather Probably the best movie ever made. To me.

The testosterone fanboy stuff:
Aliens
Terminator II
Die Hard
LOTR II & III I am partial to Eomer. Karl Urban is the Sexy!
Pulp Fiction & Scarface probably the two most quotable movies of all time!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Tina you and my mom would get along well. She loves the old movies, and made disciples of my sister and I. She's why we are such movie buffs to this day. She loves Gilda. Nothing like the old musicals to cheer you up.

[Jenn]

Isn't it interesting how our comfort movies are a definate mixture two distinct catagories happy romance/musicals and bad a** guys in action. What would Freud say about that?

[LaVerne]

Danielle,

My list would almost mirror yours. And I own all of them.

Here's my list

Pride and Prejudice- both versions
Sleepy Hollow- Love Johnny
Pirates of the Caribbean
Doom (purely for the eye candy--Karl Urban and The Rock, meow! Ditto)
Scorpion King
300 (um, for similar reasons, and also very visually stirring. Ditto)
Underworld
Aliens
XXX
The Chronicles of Riddick
Pitch Black
The LOTR movies
Something New
Van Helsing
The Long Kiss Goodnight
A History of Violence- Pretty much anything with Viggo

[A.M.]

Danielle, Here's my list in no particular order and thanks for asking.

The Promise
Pride and Prejudice- both version
The Lady Eve
Ball of Fire
Destry Rides Again
An Affair to Remember
Sleepless in Seattle
North and South - BBC mini series
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
The Imitation of life
Mildred Piece
Something New

Brenda

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

You're right, LaVerne. We have a very similar list. I thought about putting POTC on there. I don't watch it every time, but I do find myself gravitating towarding watching it. Pitch Black is another I forgot to list.

Also the anime version of Howl's Moving Castle (voiced by Christian Bale). :)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Ah, Brenda is another romantic. Great list! Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a very cool one to rewatch. That would make a very good IR romance novel.

[Sharon]

It would make a great IR novel!!!
That is one of those movies I said "Mrs Smith should be black"

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Okay I think my uniform challenge might have two assassins who are married. Interracial, of course!!!

Except for Hidalgo. *shudder*

North and South..."

Another N&S fan! Isn't it romantic? *_*

You don't like Hidalgo? Inquiring minds. I liked the horse parts. (I'm horse crazy).

That scene at the end is one of the most romantic scenes ever. The passion that Richard Armitage puts into that kiss. If I could ever jump into a character for two minutes, let it be in this scene.

[A.M.]

Oh goodness yes it is very romantic. I love the scene at the train station.

Brenda

You can tell something is going on between these two. I never thought of it as IR novel, but now that mention it, yeah, it could work.

Another one I forgot to add was the Long Hot Summer.

Brenda

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

I love The Long Hot Summer and also Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Paul Newman was a dreamy man!

[Arch , Mod]

Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "Okay I think my uniform challenge might have two assassins who are married. Interracial, of course!!!"

Oh, I can't wait. I know your story will rock.

I can just see "Married and Deadly"

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Oh that's a great name. But since you came up with it, I won't steal it.

[A.M.]

Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "I love The Long Hot Summer and also Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Paul Newman was a dreamy man!"

Yes, he was and all around good guy. I also loved him Cool Hand Luke.

It was those cool blue eyes and that little tilt of his mouth in a semblance of smile that would real me every time.

I'm okay with you having it.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

You described him perfectly, Brenda. I loved how devoted he was to his wife, Joanne. One of the few enduring love stories in Hollywood.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

I'll let you keep it. I appreciate the offer though. :)

[A.M.]

Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "You described him perfectly, Brenda. I loved how devoted he was to his wife, Joanne. One of the few enduring love stories in Hollywood."

Now see that would make a great IR romance one that spans the years and withstands the test of time and outside force.

[Arch , Mod]

Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "I'll let you keep it. I appreciate the offer though. :)"

If you change your mind, the title is yours to take.

[new_user]

Ah, yes, the train station scene. *sigh* That's best. I love the scene at the end of the first part too, when he's walking through the cotton factory, and the girl narrates, "I have seen Hell and it is snow-white." Perfect line.
