What I wish is I could have watched Fight Club after erasing the book from my mind. I’d already read the novel, so seeing the movie didn’t blow my mind. I agree with other people here, in that I wish I could erase Reservoir Dogs from my mind. For some reason, it was really boring the second time around. I think I’ll have to wait a little while to watch it again.

I say Star Wars. I first saw A New Hope exactly a year and a day ago, and within two or three months I’d seen all of them. Then I started reading the Expanded Universe novels to increase my knowledge. I love the EU, but I’ve learned WAY too much, and now I never get that same feeling of utter joy when I watch the movies. I desperately want to erase all knowledge of Star Wars from my mind so I can watch them all for the first time again.

I just recently got into Indiana Jones, and I’m afraid I’m going to make the same mistake.

Okay, call me weird but…

“Scooby-Doo” movies have me trying to figure out the mystery. The twist at the end has me reviewing my suspects list. It ain’t the same watching it a second time.

“Misery” would be my choice. I didn’t get to see it in the theatre, and remember watching it at home on VHS. The foot-clubbing scene actually made me stand up from the couch and go “Whoaaaa!” in a way no other film scene ever did. I’d love to experience that again for the first time, just for the shock value.

I can’t believe this place has been dead for almost a year.

I’m watching it now: Alien.

It only started an entire new type of dark sci-fi.

Requiem For A Dream-such a chilling movie that does way more than warn you about the consequences of drugs

The Butterfly Effect-I was so surprised of how amazing this movie was. It really made you figure out some things about yourself

The Evil Dead trilogy (possibly not the most meritorious trilogy, but watching Ash evolve from frightened nice-guy to the chainsaw wielding wisecracker was nothing short of transcendent…groovy).

Kieslowski’s three colors trilogy
(no explanation necessary).

Barton Fink – Because it completely blew my mind.

Lucky Number Slevin – I skipped this movie for so long just because the title had me thinking it was a different type of movie. I was surprised by its’ style and also the plot twists.

A lot of people mentioned The Village, but I don’t think anyone mentioned The Sixth Sense yet.

Some other favorites:

Blood Simple
Miller’s Crossing
12 Monkeys
Brazil
Silence of the Lambs
