If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life - What would it be?

[The Midnight]

Interested to know …

 

[fishonjazz]

Super troopers

 

[Miggs]

A Few Good Men.

Love that period Cruise and the energy of the film.

 

[NAOS_pt2]

Hard to say. But probably Phantom Thread.

 

[The Midnight]

I’ve got 2 I’m tossing up between..

Mulholland Drive - just for the sheer mystery of it all, great acting and direction. I could watch it over and over and pick up new clues … keep solving the David Lynch puzzle.

While you were sleeping - just one of those feel good movies i could watch over and over. Sandra Bullock at her loveable best.. rooting for the “average guy”.. the music .. there’s Christmas, there’s humor … what more could you want?

 

[Coach Ellis]

Dan in Real Life would be my first option. Steve Carrell is absolutely phenomenal in that movie. Gets me every time I watch it.

Aside from that, I’d probably pick one I could enjoy with my kids and future grandkids - maybe The Princess Bride. It’s old and cheesy, but it still holds up.

Unpopular choice

Punch Drunk Love

One of the most hated movies whenever I mention it's in my top 5

People who hate this movie are so dumb.

The last Samurai

Im doing a top three all by the same film makers.

1. The Big Lebowski

2. No Country for Old Men

3. O Brother, where art thou?

All films by the Coen brothers, their remake of True Grit would probably be number four, their is just something about their films, I love, their humour, artistry, I dunno I just find them very rewatchable.

A Few Good Men.

Love that period Cruise and the energy of the film.

Aaron Sorkin could be my favourite screenwriter of all time. The West Wing is one of my all time favourite shows, (Sports Night got about a 5 minute run on TV here I'd love to watch that whole show) The Newsroom is brilliant.

I don't love all his films but Charlie Wilsons war is excellent, as is Moneyball and Molly's Game. I would have enjoyed the The Social Network more if i didn't detest all the people its about, The Trial of the Chicago 7 should have been a mini series

do you struggle with the concept of "one" ??? I know you're into polygamy because you're a greedy bastard but try to follow the instructions Pick one!!!?????

 

[The Thriller]

Indiana jones: Raiders

Or Dumb and Dumber. It still makes me laugh and those scenes around Provo and park city take me back to a time when utah wasn’t so crowded.

 

[FalseFlagg K]

Glory. Epic movie equal parts tragic and uplifting

You missed Raising Arizona.

 

[gandalfe]

If I had to pick just one... Crap. Princess Bride? Fish Called Wanda? Seven Samurai? Pulp Fiction? Stop Making Sense? Alien or Aliens? RRR? Everything Everywhere All At Once?

Probably either Princess Bride or Everything Everywhere All at Once, because they combine so many different types of film together. Both have great characters, action, comedy, emotional resonance... Probably go with Everything, just because it's, well, everything. Also because it's about family.

Also, this is the best Babish episode.

All great movies. No country for old men is a masterclass in filmmaking and acting. Superb across the board.

I love SportsNight, it was the first Sorkin show I saw. They had it on Comedy Central for a while. It's available to acquire through, ahem, alternate means.

Have you ever seen Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip? It was Sorkin's followup to West Wing, basically the same set up as 30 Rock, behind-the-scenes-at-not-SNL, only presented in more of a dramatic sense, as Sorkin does. It actually premiered the same year as 30 Rock, everyone thought it would be the big winner between the two - because Sorkin and bigger stars. But it was just too expensive, got cancelled after 1 season.
