Movies You've Watched Multiple Times and Still Continue to Watch

That's Michael Bay's M.O....to him, explosions = good movie

People gave Shia shit for saying the Transformer movies just weren't good but he was just telling the truth. I really don't know how Bay movies make money because most of them are garbage. It is like if a couple of people just stay up late one night shooting the shit about rebooting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and he takes that rambling conversation and creates a script.

Bay does re-dos with better effects. Used the existing audience and fans of old established stories to drive viewership of his flicks. I hope he redoes E.T. E.T. with more explosions would be great.***

Hey he could have ET invade earth and have a Battleship finally destroy it. And have chicken burritos served as dinner.

And change the Drew Barremore character to be a hot 19 year old who likes to do yoga by the pool in a bikini.

No doubt, Beardo. I'm fine with new takes on old ideas, just as I am with continuing a story with existing characters so long as there is fertile ground left to be tilled. Re-telling old stories is part of the point of having the story in the first place. But as you said, for every worthwhile reinvention of an old story -- another great example is Last of the Mohicans, which was made into a film many times before Michael Mann created his masterpiece in the 1990s -- there are a dozen piles of poo.

I always think it is interesting when two films come out close together about the same topic and how polarizing opinions can be about which one people like more. A good example being Tombstone and Wyatt Earp. I love both of them for different reasons and can sit and watch both over again. Tombstone is funny, great action, and Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer are terrific and well cast. The flip side of that is Wyatt Earp is more of an epic storytelling piece. Dennis Quaid?s Doc Holliday is said to very historically accurate - and very convincing. I always thought Wyatt Earp got short changed because Tomstone was so tight by comparison - and downright fun to watch.

Dam right but only if her bikini is made out of whip cream, with homage to the greatest album cover ever.

It is weird how that happens sometimes. I enjoyed both of those movies also. Armageddon and Deep Impact were also very close movies but no one seems to remember Deep Impact. It probably has to do with Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck having more star power.
