Ever Fall In Love With a Movie All Over Again That You Haven't Seen In Awhile? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. pyewacket (7842)   ranked 9 out of 6,859 in watching movies4 months ago

I have to admit...lately I haven't given myself a lot of time to watch some of my DVD movies that I have in a long, long time...heck I practically live in front of the computer now. I was watching a rather old entertainment show on TV that showed scenes of the movie National Treasure: Book Of Secrets (a movie I haven't seen but would love to get..looks up my alley)--and they had a segment with one of the stars, Jon Voight..and for some reason that made me think of another movie he was in... Lara Croft: Tomb Raider--so turned off the tv and grabbed my DVD copy of it and watched it...and fell in love with this movie all over again

....I fell in love with it the very first time I saw it, back when I had cable (no longer have it....cable that is...sniffle) I just loved the character Lara Croft's kickass attitude, her adventurous spirit, and the whole bit of archeology thing as at one time in my life I was thinking of becoming one (hence my love too for the Indiana Jones series of movies as well--heck I still have my actual Stetson Fedora hat just like his)...I don't think anyone else could have portrayed Lora Croft like Angelina Jolie --of course guys who watched this movie for her figure, and we women were a bit envious of...hey she IS gorgeous!


Anyway...do you ever watch a movie you haven't seen in awhile and love it all over again? What are some of your favorite movies you love to watch that you haven't watched in awhile and remember just why you loved it in the first place?

Yes I have. A movie came out when I was 16. It starred Tom Hanks. I loved this movie. Well recently they showed it on cable. I have watched it twice this week. It's called "Nothing In Common" and it is fantastic. But then again I am a Tom Hanks fan.

Funny, I've never heard of that movie...I do love him in Sleepless In Seattle thoughhappy

I love The Final Countdown, I just love a good time travel movie. I didn't find the "good looking hero" to my taste, I was a bit more for the "good looking reporter" secondary hero, but more than that, I was into the whole story.

I have an online friend that is into the Goblin King (David Bowie) in Labrynth


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (9054)   ranked 3 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

I love "The Final Countdown". Most people I know have never heard of it. I actually found it on DVD and have it. It's a fantastic time travel movie. Martin Sheen was excellent in it. Have you ever seen "The Philadelphia Experiment"? It's another good one as well although I didn't like the sequel at all for it.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ElicBxn (7078)   ranked 780 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

Yeah, I saw The Philadelphia Experiment, but I can't say I loved it, tho the effects were pretty good. I didn't see/know about the sequel.

I do know something of the background on the making of Final Countdown, for one thing, the writer wanted the admiral to decide to not to fight the Japanese, but the navy said they would not cooperate (no filming on the ships) if he did not change that. I happen to agree completely with the U.S. Navy on that point - if any military man could interfere and stop the attack on any other military institution, they would have to do so.

And, the Nimitz museum is located in Fredericksburg, that is about an hour or so away from Austin (and where my allergiest used to be located before he retired.)


myLot reputation of 99/100. pyewacket (7842)   ranked 9 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

Wow--I'm out of it, I've never seen The Final Countdown or the Philadelphia Experiment--was it on cable too? Wouldn't do any good now even if it was as I no longer have cable--I'm missing out on a lot of movies heresad

National Treasure:Book of Secrets is a great movie. We went to see it when it was in the theatre and we loved it as we loved the original movie. I am not a big Jolie fan but I like Tomb Raider as well.

Most of my favorite movies I do watch regularly, Blade:Trinity, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Stealth, State of the Union and Triple X, Harry Potter series (especially Prisoner of Azkaban), Van Helsing, and Xmen, Star Trek and Star Wars.

I have been watching a lot of them lately because I got a new big screen tv and it just makes everything so different.


myLot reputation of 99/100. pyewacket (7842)   ranked 9 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

You and me both...my favorite Harry Potter movie is the Azkaban one too--I didn't get to see the last Harry Potter movie...usually my movie theatre plays the HP movies...but not when the Order of the Phoenix came out...since I don't have cable couldn't see it that way...guess when I have some extra green stuff will buy it...uh, eventually

one that comes to mind is "the cat from outer space"
it was an old disney movie-but i named my first cat after the cat in the movie (jake).
he had a glowing collar he could do things with (move objects and the like) and was on earth looking for supplies.

here is the imdb page if you want to check it out

myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (9054)   ranked 3 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

Boy people are naming some great movies that I happen to love and this is on of them. I love Jake in there and all the actors as well. I'm going to have to pop this one in and watch it. It's been a while but it is such a cute movie. I l love the pool hall section in particular.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (4868)   ranked 66 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

i wonder if that's on dvd yet?
i'd love to get a copy.time to check amazon,i think:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. pyewacket (7842)   ranked 9 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

Hehehe...I'm very familiar with Cat From Out of Space...has always been one of my favorites too...how can one NOT love a movie about a kitty...ever see another old Disney movie...Thomasina...yeesh that got me crying


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (4868)   ranked 66 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

pye~is it a "lost kitty" type movie?
that would do me in.i'm a sucker for the crying animal type movies.gets me crying too.


myLot reputation of 99/100. pyewacket (7842)   ranked 9 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

Mmm..it's an old movie..the entire name is Three Lives of Thomasina and was based on a story by Paul Galico who wrote a lot of animal based stories...in a nutshell..Patrick McGoohan plays a country vet ...he's an unfeeling jerk...well he is. He refuses to help his own daughter's kitty (an orange cat) when it's sick...it dies...the daughter and her friends have a funeral for the cat and leave it...you see the cat going up, up, up these stairs where all these souls of cats are...at the very top you see a statue of Bast...but, it's not Thomasina's time to die...she still has lives left...she found and discovered by this woman who many consider a witch...she is a natural healer and can treat animals..anyway...the cat doesn't remember her former life with the girl..but now considers the witch to be its owner...anyway long story short at the end...the daughter and the kitty are reunited. Does any of this ring a bell??

Here are some links about it

I would have to say one of my favorite movies is " Somewhere in time", Christopher Reeves played the lead, with Jane Seymore. It was such a sad romantic story. I have seen this movie on TV on and off since it first aired on TV around 1980. It is still one of my favorites, now I might just look for it online and download it and burn it to a cd.


myLot reputation of 57/100. SassyKittyKat (755)   ranked 468 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

Oh, this is an excellent movie, I loved it!


myLot reputation of 57/100. SassyKittyKat (755)   ranked 468 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

I think you can find it on surfthechannel.com and that's a good idea, I might try that myselfhappy


myLot reputation of 93/100. julyteen (3367)   ranked 181 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

yeah i saw that movie and i love it. did you watched "ice castle"?


myLot reputation of 99/100. pyewacket (7842)   ranked 9 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

Oh I love that movie too...really sad...loved the music in it..Themes of a Variation of Paganni I think, right?...where can you download movies??....SassyKittyKat seems to suggest surfthechannel.com...can one actually download movies there? Never heard of it


myLot reputation of 99/100. irishmist (1679)   ranked 1,264 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

You can find movies on limewire. That is where I get my music, and I did download one movie to burn. Limewire is free, you just have to download the program, I have been using the program for about three years.


myLot reputation of 99/100. pyewacket (7842)   ranked 9 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

I'll have to see if it's compatible with Mac computers though

Yes, I would have to say that the movie that did this to me in recent years was Guys And Dolls. When I was still living at home my sister Vicky and I used to love to watch this movie and last year I watched it after not seeing it in years and I fell in love with it all over again. I love that movie and I love the musical aspect of it too. Plus, come on, Marlon Brando was so HOT!!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. pyewacket (7842)   ranked 9 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

I agree...a lot of the older classic movies are great to watch when one hasn't seen them in a really long timehappy


myLot reputation of 57/100. SassyKittyKat (755)   ranked 468 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

yes, there are a lot of great ones out there...

The old King Kong movie was on television the other day. We got interested in it because they were also going to show the follow up version of King Kong, then the newest release of it. We watched all three versions. The first one ended up being a bit comical, compared to the modern version. The second one was okay, but the third one with Adrien Brody and Jack Black literally made me weep......
I had never seen the third version and I must say, it was the absolute best version I had ever seen of the classic movie. I couldn't believe I was weeping for Kong like was I was. I will surely watch it again.
Another great one is Somewhere In Time. It always makes me cry. Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is another favorite of mine and the old classics like Peyton Place and Return to Peyton Place are movies I stop everything for, grab a blanket and big bowl of popcorn - plop down on the sofa and watch wide-eyed.


myLot reputation of 99/100. pyewacket (7842)   ranked 9 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

I never cared for the original version of King Kong to be honest...but yup did love the one with Adrian Brody in it--fell in love with that guy, he has a real romantic charm to him, doesn't he? Hehe. And yep too...I loved how Peter Jackson made you feel for Kong and made him "sensitive"

myLot reputation of 99/100. pyewacket (7842)   ranked 9 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

I love Richard Gere but have to confess never saw that movie--I loved him in First Knight though...all about King Arthur and I love ANYTHING about King Arthur...


myLot reputation of 95/100. Lakota12 (10246)   ranked 206 out of 6,859 in watching movies  4 months ago

I have movies coming out of my ears and cannot keep up.
