I also loved the Back to the Future Trilogy as a kid and watched them over and over again on the big screen.

I also loved the Beverly Hills Cop films. Eddie Murphy is the sole reason I used expletives in almost every sentence by the age of 14.

Cobra - Sylvester Stallone.

Top Gun.

Ghost.

The Princess Bride... such an epic story. I tried to get my kids to watch it recently but they weren't interested. Blasphemy!

Unforgiven. Pale Rider. Gremlins. Scarface. Robocop. Bladerunner. Terminator. Lethal Weapon.


Back then, films meant more. They were all we had.

Princess Bride is a classic - will be shown for years, much like the Wizard of Oz.  

Quoted from James McClung Jaws. Been rewatching endlessly since I was six or so. Really doesn't require an explanation for anyone who's seen it. Second is probably Jurassic Park just given the time since I first saw it.

Yep same here. Saw it at the cinema on release as a 13 year old and prolly watched it maybe 50 times since then though not for awhile.

The acting is superb - still amazing that Robert Shaw didn't get a Best Actor nom. But then again, back then, there would be like 10 first class movies on offer at any given time.

The early Jackie Chan films used to get thoroughly watched too. I remember the Drunken Master in particular. Then there was the 80s rise of US kung fu and the ultimate film was made. The Last Dragon.

Behold magnificence:

Thought of a few more that get alot of watches from these old eyes.

The Omen, The Devil's Advocate, Scarface, Starship Troopers, all the Alien movies.

Hard to say for sure. I'm not really keeping track, but I've definitely seen these a good amount:

Braveheart, Apocalypse Now, The Big Lebowski, Top Gun, Black Swan.

Quoted from MarkItZero Braveheart

Hold. Hooold. Hoooooooollld! Hoooooooooooooooooold! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!

This would be one of mine too. I seem to remember as a wee one, my old man watching this at least three-four times a year

Braveheart as a wee one? Damn, I'm getting old!

Other classics: The Great Escape; The ORIGINAL Magnificent Seven; and The Man who shot Liberty Valance. And, of course, any Clint Eastwood western.
