What movies have you liked for the longest time (more than 5 years+)?

Definitely a mix of musicals and action movies thanks to my parents lol:

Demolition Man
Total Recall
Blade
The Court Jester
The Marx Brothers A Night at the Opera
Singing in the Rain
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Also Comedy of Terrors - because that was the movies that introduced me to Vincent Price and my eternal love for his movies.

Total Recall has gone in and out of love for me. I thought it was hilarious when I watched it as a kid. Then I went through a stage in my teens or twenties where I hated it, and now I'm pretty much back to finding it hilarious.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers!!!!!!! Nobody ever knows that movie, or they hate it. That and The Princess Bride were the two VHS tapes my parents bought when we first got a VCR, and for a long time were the only movies we had. Objectively I know that movie is sexist and ridiculous, but it will forever have a place in my heart. I sing random songs all the time, and Bless Your Beautiful Hide and Goin' Courtin' pop up in my singing a lot.

Lol yes! I can understand the hate for it - but the music is so good and I love the dancing in the barn-building scene :'D

The barn building scene is amazing, with their brightly colored shirts and weird aggressive dance off. Gosh I love that silly movie.

The Court Jester! Oh man yes! (Duck Soup is my personal Marx Brothers movie but you really can't go wrong with any of them-- honestly, our lists are very close to the same, thanks to my dad)

I like Duck Soup a lot better than Night at the Opera

I think I need to watch Duck Soup again. I think Night at the Opera is a default for me because that was the one I had on vhs throughout my childhood and the first dvd out of the rest of the Marx brothers movies - so I watched it A LOT.

I like Singing in the Rain a lot

Do you have a favorite song in that movie? I like Make 'Em Laugh best :D

don't have one fave but that is a great song--and IMHO Donald O'Connor was just as good a dancer as Gene Kelly

Five years is a long time? My friend, I have socks that older than that.

But, Watership Down. It traumatised me in early childhood, yet somehow I return to it time and again. Also, and this is more because I remember my grandad watching this movie so it reminds me of him, Gunga Din. Very racist movie, no, more racist than that, but my Grandad was of a generation where these things were more romanticised rather than thought critically about, being only one generation removed himself from the time it was set in, and it makes me feel like a small child sitting next to him in his old chair again.

Just wanted to throw a dart at a time limit, although people can do what they want idk.

The Lion King. I've loved it since I saw it in theaters as a child. I watched it at least twice a year.

I have a lot of movies I watched as a kid that I still love. I have no idea timeline, but I do remember The Princess Bride being the fist movie we got for our VCR and watching that and loving it.

Some other childhood favorites that I think still hold up: The Gnome-Mobile, Labyrinth, Hook, The Neverending Story, to name a few. Sadly I don't think The Dark Crystal holds up for me, I find that movie so boring now when as a kid I was obsessed and rewatched it all the time.

Star Wars OT.

+1

Since soooooooo long ago.

My dad first showed them to me when I was 7. Loved them ever since.

I genuinely don't even remember when I first watched them - I know I went to the theatrical re-releases in 1997 (when I would have been about 7) but I think I'd already seen them before them.

Yellow Submarine was my favorite movie as a little kid and it's still my favorite animated movie ever.

Only 5+ years?? Off the top of my head:

The Princess Bride
Mad Max: Fury Road
Real Genius
Silence of the Lambs
Twister
Jurassic Park
Legally Blonde
Gravity
Captain America: The Winter Soldier

The Ghost and Mrs Muir
Rocky Horror Picture Show
The King and I
Fifth Element
Empire of the Sun
Repo The Genetic Opera
Tank Girl
Star Trek movies (all of them but especially I, IV and Generations)

I love Rocky Horror!

The Thing(1982), Alien and Aliens, Sunshine and Event Horizon.

Event Horizon is the one I watched last, maybe in 2014? The Thing is one of the first horror movies I've watched and it ignited my love for horror movies.
I've rewatched all these movies more times that I can count. Event Horizon 3 times only last year (it was a very stressful year and I longed for the silliness of it).

This is also a list of movies I love to use whenever I buy a new iPad. These movies look phenomenal at high resolution.
