AVQ&A – Most Rewatched Movies
Every week the writers for The Onion AV Club answer a question. I thought I’d share my own answers to one of their previous Q&A’s.
This week for me is: What’s your most-rewatched movie?
If this question only related to the last couple of years than it would be Boogie Nights and by a lot. When I was at school living in the dorms Paul Thomas Anderson’s masterpiece was on all the time on HBO and there was seldom a day that we didn’t turn on the TV and end up getting roped into watching it again & again. Even to this day I still put the DVD on when I’m cleaning my apartment. But no, I’m afraid my most re-watched movie by a long shot is The Three Amigos. When I was a kid my family would rent the VHS cassette every single weekend despite my sister’s protests. All I can say in my defense is that The Three Amigos is a great film that still to this day makes me laugh.

Best Movie
5. The Dark Knight – Chistopher Nolan
4. Wall-E – Andrew Stanton
3. Waltz with Bashir – Ari Folman
2. Rachel Getting Married – Jonathon Demme
1. Let The Right One In – Tomas Alfredson
Best Movie New to Me
Streetcar Named Desire – Elia Kazan (1951)
The nominations for the Academy Awards are out and it looks like not one of my favorite movies made the big list. There are some consolations though. Sean Penn got nominated for Milk which would be #6 on this list, Wall-E’s up for best animated feature, Heath Ledger got a best supporting actor nomination and Anne Hathaway got the nod for best actress. The fact that Let The Right One In didn’t get nominated for either best picture or best foreign film is a travesty.
