If you could watch one movie again, and experience it like the first time you saw it, what would you watch? 🤔

Comments

Keenan Bartlome

Probably wind river. Absolutely devastating and amazing movie. You should definitely watch it on the Channel.

Patrick Armbruster

Moulin Rouge. Okay, I went to the cinema over 30 times, but at least the first 20 times I still found new details that I hadn't seen before or already forgotten again.

Tim Boxall

The Grand Budapest Hotel - now matter how many times I watch it, it's thoroughly joyous, but I'd love to see it again as if it were the first time! Definitely one to watch if you've not seen it - it's beautiful.

Ron

Probably Star Wars in 1977 opening weekend. A lot to erase to get back there, but it was truly groundbreaking when it was released. Nothing even remotely like it. Or, 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968.

jacob

I guess I'd have to say fight club. Though this gets tougher the longer I think about it.

Pat Cecil

The Babbadook... one of the most tense and unsettling films I've ever see, it is a work of art

Bartleby

“Santa Sangre” (1989) Just thinking about it now, I can remember watching this very unique and wild film. An hour well into the movie, I recall having no clue where this movie was going or what the hell it was even about. And then it just all comes together so beautifully and poignantly. And a masterful portrait has been created. 🙌

Jon Anderson

The Wicker Man (1973) - I'd seen lots of old scary movies on late night TV, but there's not many that stayed with me for years. And the first time you see it, you have no idea where it's going.

JL Green

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I have watched it on several occasions and it still freaks me out nearly as much as the first time I saw it. 👀

David Schmidt

Support Your Local Sheriff from 1969 with James Garner. One of the funniest westerns ever made.

Mike McLaughlin

What a great question! The list is too long. Here are my top 3.. From Here To Eternity - story of life in an army company stationed in Hawaii prior to and on a couple of days after Pearl Harbor attack. A drama of life in a military setting. Multiple Academy Awards. Yankee Doodle Dandy - biographical movie of the life of George M. Cohan. The journey of a man who became the most successful showman on Broadway stage in the first half of the 1900s. There is a statue in his honor in the middle of Times Square, NY. Academy Awards. All The President's Men - biographical picture about the Watergate break-in. Sorry, I couldn't go with only one. But I have 20 more I could easily put on this list.

Jimmy Walker

"The Game" with Michael Douglas and "Sleepers" with Robert De Niro.

Ian Cano

Probably Foul Play (1978). The experience seeing that movie in the theater with my best friend at the time, we were 8 or 9 years old, and his mom was really special, so fun.

Louis Marzullo

"Jaws". First time my Dad took me to theater, just me & him. I was ten. Scary but I could turn my face into his chest whenever it got too intense. We didn't have a car then, took the bus, ate at a diner afterwards. Thanks for question, Dawn Marie. Brought back a precious memory! 🦈🍿🥤🍔🍟🍨❤️

Scott

The Exorcist 3 with George C Scott...incredible movie. Saw it when I was in the service in a spooky old theater that was on base...scared the bejeezus outta me!

Tim Boxall

Great choice! Weirdly, i class Jaws (along with The Thing) as comfort films - even though they're scary, I know them so well I find it relaxing watching them

Mannygogou

Mad Max Fury Road 😮 🙂 🚛🚌🚌 🚙 🚓

Elliot Nesterman

"Citizen Kane." I saw much of it as a child and scenes from it stuck with me, though I didn't know the title. When I watched it again in college I thought, "Oh! That's the movie!" "Lawrence of Arabia." I saw it first run as a kid and it too had scenes that were burned into my memory. This one, however, I not only knew the title, but never forgot the experience of first viewing. "The Wizard of Oz." It would be marvelous to be able to experience anew the sense of wonder that film produces in young viewers.

Jeff Barnes

2001 A Space Odyssey. Saw this in a theater when it came out and it left a big impression on me.

Ted Little

I think, perhaps, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" would be my choice. The whole movie is great fun and seeing the barn dance for the first time again and experiencing that exhilaration once more as I did many years ago would be wonderful.

Alan Jones

My Fair Lady (1964). Not a typical choice, maybe, but one of the all-time great musicals. I've seen it many times on stage, and seen the film multiple times, as well as the 1938 film of Pygmalion on which it is based. So the material has become uber-familiar by now, It would be wonderful to hear all that wonderful G. B Shaw dialogue and those fabulous Lerner and Loewe tunes fresh again. I guess I'll just have to watch it again, old and worn like a comfy old shoe. Something to be said for that, too, I suppose.

sarCC

probably You're Next

Philip Jackson

I love the way you phrase the question. I can think of three films that stand out as being unforgettable movie-viewing experiences. The first time I saw Charlie Chaplin was in the movie "The Kid" (1921). I was just 10 years old, but I knew I had found GOLD. The local Public Broadcasting station presented it as a promo for an upcoming Charlie Chaplin Festival. It was scheduled to start the following Monday and run all week, every day, at 10 a.m. This was terrible news since I already had a previous appointment to see my 5th-grade teacher each day at school at that time. "The Kid" was a fantastic film, and I knew that I needed to see more Chaplin, so for the first, last, and only time in my life, I faked being sick to skip school. I stayed out the entire week, watched dozens of Chaplin's best films, and became a lifelong fan. The other 2 films are Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" (1985), and "Around The World In 80 Days" (1956) with David Niven.

David Patterson

Hands down 'Back to the Future', with the OG 'Star Wars' and 'Sister Act' tied for second. Third place would go to any film that I did not get to see in theaters for what ever reason including but not limited to: Close Encounters Alien Lawrence of Arabia Halloween Sixth Sense The Shining Willy Wonka OG Wizard of OZ

Marc Duncan

My choice would probably be the movie "Midway" form 1976. I was in about 6th grade and always watched the old Westerns and old war movies with my Dad, and he took my brother and I to see "Midway" at the a theater that had surround-sound, which was fairly to theaters. I will never forget hearing those old piston engines cranking up on the flight decks and it felt very real and my seat and body just shaking from the noise. An incredible experience and great memory for me.

You know for a minute there, Hollywood kept remaking Japanese horror films like The Ring and The Grudge. The Babadook is a movie I’d love to see a Japanese remake of.

Pat Cecil
>>108737671

what an interesting idea. I think it's a real gem, but it's true a remake like that might be worth a go

Pat Cecil
>>108737671

but I suspect I;d stick with the original. Mind you, i.m not a fan of remakes at the best of times

Mike McLaughlin
>>108752872

On HBO Max right now. Top to bottom, the best actors Hollywood had to offer. And a few up and comers.. Eric Estrada, Tom Selleck, Dabney Coleman, and Kevin Dobson... Also the great John Williams music.

Casey Fairley

Dawn, If I must pick one it's The Mummy with Brendan Fraser & Rachel Weisz. Tbh tho, I consider it's sequel a near two way tie with it! It's called The Mummy Returns! I like both nearly equally! It's two movies that when watched together, they tell a complete saga in the most satisfactory way, yet each film stands on its own. They're both filled with action, magic, comedy, adventure, romance, supernatural myths, mystery, guns, heroes, a bit of horror, Egyptian lore, Mummies, cowboys, soldiers, epic battles, Sand storms, mythical monsters, I could keep going & NOT be lying. These 2 films were magical experiences for me the 1st time I saw them in theaters! I'd love to re-live those feelings again as fresh as the 1st times. I sent you the entire Mummy trilogy, Dawn. I hope you get to enjoy their charm & allure someday soon & fall in love with these characters like I did! Both films did well in theaters too! :)

Eric Bonham

Considering I was eleven when it came out, hands-down it would have to be Star Wars. Seeing (and especially hearing) that movie in the theater at that age is impossible to describe. The sound of blaster fire and light sabers and R2D2's beeps are so familiar now, but every now and then they're able to take me back to what it was like hearing those sound effects for the first time in the theater if only for a brief moment. I certainly like the Star Wars movies but couldn't by any means be considered a fanboy. But no other movie had as big an impact on me. I remember getting this new thing called cable TV and finding out there was going to be channel showing nothing but movies (HBO). My little kid brain naturally interpreted that to mean I was going to be able to watch Star Wars over and over again as much as I wanted. Because after all what other movie was even worth showing? I was so disappointed to find out that it didn't quite work that way.

Robert P

The godfather and the exorcist...what can I say, I only like movies that start with "the" 😜

Bill W
>>108737113

Same. Star Wars. I was young when I saw it (8) and I saw it AFTER Empire.... in a smaller theater that was re-running it when Empire was in theaters. So 8 yr old me was having trouble trying to remember everything that happened in Empire and fitting it together with all the stuff in the first film. My older sister who took me hadn't seen either of them yet so she couldn't explain anything to me hahaha. But oh man... to be able to see and hear that Star Destroyer come overhead one more time (for the first time)....

Ian Forbes

At 15, watching The Crying Game when it came out in 1992 changed my perspective from seeing movies just for entertainment (which has its merit of course) and made me interested in original and more thought-provoking filmmaking.

Bill W
>>108745962

First time I saw Jaws it was on tv. I was like 7 and me and my cousins were watching in their dark basement....making sure to not let our feet hang over the edge of the couch so the shark couldn't get us. Cuz that's where sharks swim, you know. In dark basements.

Louis Marzullo
>>108745962

LOL. On a similar note, the space under my bed was always packed end-to-end & side-to-side with board games, shoe boxes, books, boxes of cassette tapes, toys, sports equipment, etc. All so, y'know, nothing else could make itself comfortable under there while I slept...

Bartleby
>>108737671

I hear ya. 9 times out of ten, remakes are garbage and not worth the time. There are some gem remakes out there though. From The Thing, to The Fly, to Scarface. There’s actually a Japanese remake of Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven that’s pretty solid. You can rent it off Amazon.

kajota

Probably Life of Brian. I had never seen humor like that before and it probably re-wrote parts of my 13 year old brain.

Bill Bryant

The Quiet Man, or Sergeant York. Have watched both more than a dozen times in the past 40 years. Would watch them today if I could.

Liam Christie

This is such a hard question - some films I have seen have been memorable, or mean something to me because of many factors, like who I watched them with, or how they made me think or feel. I remember watching The Great Escape with my Dad - and I loved the film but it became a tradition that every year at Christmas, it is our film to watch together. It created an experience for me that I hold close to my heart. The first movie I saw at a Cinema was Honey I Shrunk the Kids - and I absolutely loved it too. An epic movie to have my first time at the movies - which I went to with my best friend and his family. We still talk about it to this day - and its always a fond memory to think back on. I watched a film recently called The Peanut Butter Falcon, and it melted my heart completely. A masterpeice of a film in my book, that just makes you deal with the intricaces of how life can be so hard with sharp experiences and also be a wonderous place to live out your dreams with the people you love. For me, I would love to rewatch The Karate Kid, Gremlins and then The Three Fugitives. I loved them growing up, and it was really a highlight of being in a big family (im youngest of 4) and getting to experience these films in that setting - around a coal fire, with the sun setting and the smell of food cooking moving throughout the house.

Dan Cornyn

The Bourne Identity with Matt Damon

Nerd's Gold

I would have to pick The Big Sleep (Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, 1946). This probably ranks as my favorite movie of all time. There are two different versions of this movie as well. I prefer the second release, after the reshoots. There are many films that would be fun, but almost all of them are just as fun rewatching.

graham laidlaw

schindlers list. or see no evil hear no evil. both make me cry for different reasons x

David Guin

LOL! I don't get that high anymore ;)

Simon

I think 12 Angry Men. It was recommended by my highscool English teacher and it was transformational in my appreciation of cinema.

Louis Marzullo
>>108745962

LOL, very good! My monsters were illiterate 🤣. I think my Mom would have preferred your method! 🧹

Mannygogou
>>108746782

the 2nd one Mad Max: The Road Warrior is fantastic! But Fury Road is the new one... and it's stunning!

Mannygogou
>>108749308

I saw this in the theater... at a Cinemark 2019 it says - such a fun movie! Many things so memorable! When the dad did his thing, I was like, he's so good! "...The bells are gonna chime!"

Stephen Knueppel

Star Wars, My friends and I walked out of the theater and felt as if the whole world had changed. It was a profound, almost spiritual experience for us. We were 16 and had never seen anything like it before and that's all we talked about that summer.

Sam Nishi Saisho

CONTACT! I sat stunned after the credits finished, walked slowly to the box office and bought another ticket for the next showing .. ..

jeff murray

So many to choose but I think I would pick Lonesome Dove.

william johnson

All Mine to Give (1957)... The trials, tribulations, happiness and heartbreak of a Scottish immigrant family in 19th century Wisconsin. A 3, no 4 hankie movie

Brian L Hughes

Bad News Bears Not that it was as great as Star Wars but because of the theater and that time of my life.

Brian L Hughes

Close Encounters of the Third Kind at the drive in will always have a special place in my heart.

Michael T

"The 39 Steps" -- an early Alfred Hitchcock B&W film I saw when I was young, and that taught me for the first time that movies could be more than just light entertainment, they could be exciting and suspenseful and romantic and funny and sexy and artistic, all at once!

Al

Depends. For John Wayne - Red River; for William Holden - Stalag 17 and The Wild Bunch.
