Boom!

I have a sneaking suspicion that if you looked at the last few films that OP watched, it wouldn't be overstuffed with Criterion Collection staples, but you'd find at least one Adam Sandler comedy.

And it wouldn't one of the respectable ones like Punch-Drunk Love. I'm thinking along the lines of a Little Nicky or You Don't Mess with the Zohan.

I’ve been meaning to watch Boom! I love Joseph Losey r2

What the fuck is a "go to" film?

State and Main is also a go-to when feeling down

I define "go to" films as those I always stop and watch when I come across them while channel surfing, or those I think about finding when I just want to watch something. That being said, not in particular order:

The Great Escape Ghostbusters (the first original) Airplane! Jaws Monty Python & the Holy Grail Independence Day A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum Young Frankenstein Help (which I actually like more than A Hard Day's Night) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (though I could say most any of the HP films)

Dang it, let's try that again:

Oh my god- I deliberately read none of the posts after the first one, it so cool to go and read after you post yours! R51 and I have 2!

We should redo this thread by decade. There are so many incredible films out there highly rewatchable.

Mafuckin!’

I wuz razed rite.

One would be hard-pressed to find a more pretentious and performative list as OP’s.

There are lots of movies I will stop to watch while flipping through channels or that I would watch on DVD or streaming when I just want to sit back and enjoy the show. These are just the first 10 that popped into my mind.

The Conjuring The Conjuring 2 Lion Gladiator Out of Africa Slumdog Millionaire Ordinary People Hidden Figures Apollo 13 Interstellar

^ I didn’t want it to look like that.

Barry Lyndon and The Leopard are “go to” films? 2001? Just on a whim, you’re going to watch 3 hours of Visconti where Burt Lancaster is dubbed in Italian?

Stop being so pretentious.

The Leopard is a great movie. You can have it on and just get lost in the story that the dubbing is not a big deal. I love the story.

And speaking of Lancaster two other great films I could sub in my list are Sweet Smell of Success and The Swimmer

R72 love The Killing of Sister George that’s another I could add to my own list.

“Go to movies” are movies that you could watch at any time in almost any mood. And Barry Lyndon is one of them for me. It’s not pretentious.

And I find 2001 boring and pretentious, btw.

I don't know how I could leave off Talented Mr Ripley or Ordinary People- You bitches are GOOD.

I should probably remove Halloween 2, but I don't care- its a perfect rewatch film for me.

Now, Voyager is my favorite movie for obvious reasons.

It is great there is such a diversity of taste here. I can find one from most lists I would add to mine but not more than three on any. I guess my dream movie binging date has not yet posted.

Let me tell you the mentality present here. For example, R100. Miss "Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles is one of my top 10 go to films"

Well Miss R100 (Sansho the Bailiff, natch) is also Miss R69 putting on her lowbrow hat for another top 10 go to, with

You're missing the spirt of the thread! You've got to list the movies you love, even if it makes you look trashy & basic - in fact, that's even better. Who wants to hear from a pretentious bore that pretends to love Ingmar Bergman moves. Everything that one needs to know about Israel can be learned by watching Don't Mess With the Zohan.

Now try again!

I liked this movie too - clearly George Clooney's best role. It's bad he's just mailing it in these days (or trying to be some post Dyan Cannon- marriage version of Cary Grant) instead of trying to be a serious actor.

R100, I wrote my own “Datalounge pretentious” parody list. It’s still cracking me up.

Jean Dielman on your list was a dead giveaway. In The Mood For Love is not obscure and there’s nothing pretentious about Terence Davies’ The Long Day Closes (recommend seeing Distant Voice, Still Lives first). The perils of A.I.

^ So glad to see King of Comedy mentioned. What a truly weird and brilliant movie that was. DL fave Shelley Hack is flawless in the cameo scene with Rupert Pupkin. Just the right dose of uptight Seven Sisters bitch in the calm voice. DeNiro never better.

I went to check out Hack's biography because I had no idea she was a seven sisters grad. (Smith) And she had a very significant career, post acting and modeling. Bravo.

R117 Shelley Hack was super model prior to landing acting gigs beginning in the very late 1970s.

Let me be clear

Her acting career began in the late 70s after achieving much success as a model and spokes person for Revlon’s Charlie perfume on television and print media.

Let me formally introduce myself. I’m the DL Shelley Hack troll.

King of Comedy is terrific!

And let me be clear, R118 (R119):

SHE WAS TIFFANY WELLES!!

You don’t have to lecture a bunch of fags about who Shelley Hack is! I mean, the absolute tedium…

I still cannot believe that OP lists Death In Venice as a “go to” film. Dear gawd.

"I could watch 'Last Year at Marienbad' all day long!"

I love it. D in V is like Summertime - a getaway movie for a slow Sunday

Don’t look Now also. I love movies that take me some place.

[quote]I still cannot believe that OP lists Death In Venice as a “go to” film. Dear gawd.

That's nothing compared to the 9-hour, 26-minute "go-to!" holocaust documentary "Shoah," surely a dark joke. The one Jewish kid in my class was excluded when we watched that, over a period of several weeks, in history class in the Netherlands a lifetime ago.

I already listed my 10 but Witches of Eastwick gets a. Honorable mention

No love for the original "Halloween" (1978)?

R126, that was my parody list.

Though I could watch Marienbad on a loop 2 or 3 times, especially if I’m high.

R128, that's a good one. I have it on DVD and watch it 4-5 times a year, occasionally on Christmas. 😈

[quote]I still cannot believe that OP lists Death In Venice as a “go to” film.

I wish I'd thought of it. I've seen it maybe five times. I liked it more than Interiors or The Way We Were.

R165 here again. I'd have listed Shindler's List but I have only been able to watch it one time because I was bawling my eyes out leaving the theater and I did not want to go through that again. It was monumental, a great film, but I could do it only one damn time.

On a lighter note, I loved Beauty & The Beast, and I forgot to list 3:10 to Yuma with Glenn Ford

OP, Never ask for long lists from us again. I like mine, you like yours. But since you asked:

1. "The Day of the Jackal" (OG).

2. "Margin Call."

3. "The Equalizer" series.

4. "The Bourne...." series.

4. "Dial 'M' For Murder."

5. "The French Connection."

6. "The Godfather, I and II."

7. "The World of Henry Orient."

8. "The Pelican Brief."

9. "Evil Under the Sun" (Peter Ustinov).

10. "Jaws."

Mea cuppa! I moved my movies around and ended up with 2 @ #4! I guess we'll call it a tie!

OMG. "Culpa."

Body Heat and Rear Window for sure. Also enjoy Shadow of a Doubt. There's a southern Gothic thriller, with Cate Blanchett playing a psychic, and Keanu Reeves as an abusive husband, that I like too. Yeah Independence Day is incredibly cheesy but I like it too. Denzel's first two Equalizer movies are fun. Depending on my mood, I love Cinema Paradiso. Kingdom of Heaven, the uncut long version. Troy, with Brad Pitt as Achilles.

Old cop movie, The Negotiator, with Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey. American Beauty with Kevin Spacey and Annette Benning, and L. A. Confidential, with.... Kevin Spacey Guy Pearce, and Russell Crowe.

Heat with Al Pacino and Val Kilmer, Robert De Niro. Godfather I & II. A movie called Spartan, with Val Kilmer as a former Army Ranger and CIA type operative. Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum. The Thing, with Kurt Russell.
