For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It’s such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There’s just that extra something in that movie

What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?

      Someone really likes the Coens hahaahah

      But no shade, I love all these movies (except for Casino Royale, which does seem really random at number 1 with the other movies tbh. Not a bad movie I guess, but what? 😆)

        Rewatchability plays a huge part in what I consider a favorite. Notice this list is missing some heavy hitters like the Godfather movies. I don’t consider this list to be the best movies of all time but favorites as in, what have I watched the most and am most excited to watch again or what just hit right at the right time in my life.

        Casino Royale hit just right for me. In the 90s with Goldeneye (the game and the movie) and Tomorrow Never Dies turned me into a huge Bond fan. Then world is not enough and die another day were huge disappointments.

        I watched layer cake and was amped when I heard he was getting cast for Bond and this one was going to be directed by Martin Campbell and written by Paul Haggis (pretty controversial figure now but at the time I loved the movie Crash). Going into all of this I had pretty high expectations and it exceeded it. The most I ever seen a movie in theaters was twice. For Casino Royale I went six times. I just wanted to show it to everyone I knew.

        It spawned my favorite Martini and Bond Girl (Vesper) my favorite scene in the franchise (the two sizing eachother up on the train), introduced me to some of my favorite actors (Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen and Jeffrey Wright) and to this day it’s something I watch at least once a year. There’s just not an ounce of fat on this movie.

          That’s a great write up. It’s cool how we’re all infinitely complex people.

          I’ve never been a fan of Bond movies old and new, except Casino Royale. This one still feels like the odd one out and the only one I would rewatch too. A mixture of the fresh attitude of Craig not giving a fuck (scratch my other ball 😅), Mads Mikkelsen as a perfect villain, and Eva Green gorgeous like a goddess.

      Great call on Roger Rabbit. Hope the kids today see this fine film. Excellent stuff!
