Groundhog Day (1993) Releases on 1969-12-31
Stephen Klancher: SEEN 
The joke is obvious but it's also the truth: I watched this movie over and over and over. This was one of a handful of movies we rewatched frequently growing up at my dad's house. I love Bill Murray and I love this movie.

The Wizard of Oz (1939) Releases on 1939-08-25
Stephen Klancher: SEEN
I liked the Wizard of Oz and have often been excited to see newer takes on it. At some point my mom took me to see Wicked and I loved it. Though it turned out disappointing, I remember being excited over the SciFi variant Tin Man. Also, Zardoz. haha.

The Princess Bride (1987)
Stephen Klancher: SEEN
We rented this movie at my dad's house when I was very young. So young in fact that I had no idea what the movie was called. I just had a vague memory of a really cool movie about a man in black with the storytelling grandfather as a frame for the adventure. In high school somehow this movie came up and I was excited to learn not only the title of the movie lost in my memories, but also that many other people liked it too. "As you wish" and "My name is Inigo Montoya" always make me smile.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

I'm not sure it forever deserves the top spot on IMDB, but definitely a good movie. I remember watching it on TV some night in Jr High when I was supposed to be working some project... let's see, do a diorama of a scene from 1984 or watch Shawshank? Hmm...

The Matrix (1999)
Stephen Klancher: SEEN
My parents (divorced) got in an argument over this movie. My dad wanted to take me to see it, but my mom, more strict at the time, didn't want it to happen. At some point she finally gave in, but then we had to go see it in the cheaper, crappier theater. It was still amazing, of course. And as Bob can attest, at any given time my dad's house on Mountain Oak probably had the DVD of this or Fifth Element playing. It's too bad they never made any sequels to this. <i>None. Never.</i>

Regardless it was fun. I always looked for more meaning in it than I was able to find though. But it created a great atmosphere and was a lot of fun to watch.

Love Actually (2003)
Stephen Klancher: August 7, 2009
I have this memory that I was supposed to go see this movie with my girlfriend when it came out in theaters about 6 years ago. But we broke up that weekend or the week before or something. And then I didn't want to watch it for a long time because of that connection. And it's a good thing I didn't. Not only is it full of the sappy stuff that gets to me, but had Beatles and Dido music. The movie was carefully crafted to murder me. I'm glad I didn't watch it back then, and it wasn't lacking in effect on me even now.
That said, it was a fun movie with a zillion cool actors and very pretty girls. That was also a fault as there were way too many threads. There could have been fewer with more time devoted to them with greater effect, but still, fun overall.
"Well, because I thought it would be something worse."
[incredulous] "Worse than the total agony of being in love?"

Brad Pitt was fun but Col. Landa (Christoph Waltz) was great. Some of the violence was pretty gruesome even considering it was Terantino. It made me remember having read someone comparing the Nazis watching Nation's Pride cheering the violence against the Allied soldiers to the audience cheering the violence on screen against the Nazis. Anyway, the inferno was pretty impressive and the face projected on the smoke was creepy cool.

I miss you more than that movie missed the point

I really enjoyed it! And so many elements or lines in it that could be called cliche now were actually their origin. This is the movie that solidified my interest in watching well rated "old movies." Compare to Citizen Kane.

That was the summer I had the construction job, so it probably made having some fun on a weekend trip even more enjoyable and memorable.

I did not enjoy this as much as many people, which is a shame because I was looking forward to it. But it was a decent movie. It started too slow... an hour in I didn't find myself caring about the characters yet. It got better after that point though.
Though perhaps I have myself to blame, as I do seem to remember texting back and forth with Jenith for a good bit of the beginning of the movie.

I enjoy Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, so this was inevitably fun.

There was even a boxing scene that looked like it was right out of Snatch and in my mind I was hearing "Golden brown, textured like sun..."

As a fan of Dragonball (Z at least) I can't help but enjoy it some. And my expectations were already so low that disappointment was nearly impossible. What was left was just the fun of seeing things and characters I enjoyed. I can't believe they had Christine from Phantom of the Opera as Bulma and Chow Yun-Fat as Roshi. Chi Chi was really cute. No Krillin unfortunately. Bulma did have her Dragonball radar and her capsule transportation. So, yeah, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, but I couldn't help but watch it. Kamehameha ftw!

Terminator Salvation (2009)
Stephen Klancher: May 23, 2009
This is a great movie if you love explosions. I'd trade a lot of explosions for some plot about time paradoxes, or characters with motivations, or some other reason to be interested in the conflict behind the explosions. Perhaps some kind of explosions for plot elements barter system could be worked out... a post-apocalyptic movie economy perhaps?
I think the best thing about this movie was that looking forward to it made me watch the series, which, with a much smaller explosion budget had to create interesting character conflict and X-Files style "small piece of the puzzle" mysteries. The other advantage is that from now on I will be looking at the Rotten Tomato score before seeing a movie.

I don't remember much about this movie directly. The main thing I remember is a comment from a friend while we all watched it together the summer before college. My girlfriend at the time was either disinterested or bothered by the violence, whereas I thought it was a cool movie. By my friend's observation, this was the first time in a long time that I insisted on an opinion contrary to hers. I don't remember being that bad, but the observation was memorable, and this movie reminds me of it.

Hmm, I'm not 100% I've seen the beginning of this movie. See this was the second rated R movie I ever saw, with the first being the movie Speed. My mom was on her honeymoon and I was with cousins and other family at a hotel whereever we were on the coast. So we got away with renting rated R movies. I watched Speed in one room and went to the next room and joined them in watching Braveheart. I mostly just remember the iconic, "You can take our lives, but you can never take our freedom!" Also I saw a statue of William Wallace in front of a castle years later. I should rewatch it someday just because now I know and love Patrick McGoohan.

Strangers on a Train (1951)
Stephen Klancher: April 5, 2009
Solid main characters made this a lot of fun to see. I kept seeing Bruno as Bill Murray and Guy as Alan Cumming. Bruno was a great clever-psycho bad guy. And that ending had to be the most dangerous merry-go-round in the world.

She forgot her purse and I argued with the bus driver and made him wait until she came running up from the previous bus stop. Obviously the only thing to do was invite her over for dinner and a western right?

Incredibly fun and interesting style. Especially in the beginning which was heavy on the news/documentary style. The explosions from the alien weapons were incredibly satisfying and the aliens themselves were fun to look at. One of the things I thought was most interesting was that much of the movie played like a story about refugees in Africa. They just so happened to be from another planet.

Fun movie that does a great job of mixing many different styles. It has for me some of the same appeal of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I like the wise little sister. The list of her traits he loves later paired with the same list that he hates. The black & white "love documentary" parts. I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, but to me she will always be Dorthy from the high-potential, low-results mini-series Tin Man.
Also, it seems like I like any decent movie with the Manic Pixie Dream Girl archetype.

Especially in the beginning, some of this was really hard to watch because it was through his perspective and his vision would dim, his eye would wander, and of course he would blink a lot. But then there are worse ways to spend time than watching beautiful women smiling and making eye contact while reciting the alphabet in French. Interesting movie overall.
