The director of Repo Man wanted Dick Rude, the guy who played Duke, to have the role of Otto.

Metal Man Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 When we got our first VCR in the mid/late 80s I would bring it to my grandmas house and record films off HBO or dub rentals with her VCR so I had quite the collection and watched a movie or two almost daily as a teen. That being said I would love to have exact numbers on all the movies I have watched multiple times to know the answer to this question myself. I would guess it is something along the lines of a lot of the films mentioned above like original Star Wars movies, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Die Hard films, Scarface.... or maybe Lethal Weapon or Terminator movies? In any case if I had the real numbers I am sure it is some insane amount of time spent re-watching things over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it taped off of HBO when I was a kid but had like 4 minutes missing bc my dad came home, didn’t realize it was recording and started flipping stations. But I gotta say that 4 minutes was an amazing 80’s cable time capsule…Braves game on TBS, the Adelphia Cable public access channel (time/date/public announcements) and then stopped on Benny Hill, ha!

Bill from NYC Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 The Departed Godfather and Godfather 2 Up there is "The Big Short." Aside from the fact that it was a great movie, I had to watch a bunch of times to understand it. I feel like I get it now approx. 90%. I still don't fully understand how to short a stock and what it consists of. I read that Michael Burry recently shoted Tesla for HUGE money and considered jumping on it, but someone told me that you can lose more than you invest, which is not what I want to happen. Like I said, I still don't get it 100%.😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Probably the #1 movie that comes to mind when I think of this is the old movie "WAR GAMES" with Matthew Broderick. Why? B/C it was shown every 8 hours on HBO for decades, and I always enjoyed the movie, particularly as a kid. There are others that I'll see and then it occurs to me I am watching the movie for about the 10,000 time, or so it seems. Of that, names come to mind like "JAWS", "GOODFELLAS", "2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY", many James Bond films, "A BRIDGE TOO FAR" "GODFATHER I and II", and many others.

My SO and I vary so much in terms of what we find an interesting movie to watch, we rarely watch films together anymore. We used to do it all the time, but after a while, we realized we end up watching something that *neither* of us wants to watch---I would veto this, she would veto that, and we would always agree to some vague middle ground that was terrible. So it's just easier to watch what we want, alone. Edited June 9, 2021 by Nextmanup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Fast Times at Ridgemont High The Beastmaster Just One of the Guys They were seemingly always on HBO or Cinemax in the 80's so whether you were home or at someone's house these movies were always on tv on the weekends. Haven't seen the last two on TV in years but Fast Times is still on a lot. I don't multi-watch movies much anymore but Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is on non-stop now on Show or Starz and it is a great movie so I've seen that quite a few times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
