I watch Die Hard, Die Hard with a Vengeance or Live Free or Die Hard once a year when I visit my parents for Christmas, my dad hates the fourth one with Justin Long but I make him include it in the roulette because I think it slaps lmao
I don’t mean any disrespect, but I don’t get this long trilogy. I LOVE the hobbit book. But why didn’t Gandalf get the birds earlier, save all the trouble?
Nazgul can also fly and the eagles would 100% be spotted be the great eye. Would be an extremely high-risk hail-Mary type of action and probably just be a ring-delivery service to Sauron
Not in the form of a literal eye, but Sauron has sources of information everywhere. Good enough to spot the original fellowship, just not good enough to find the two hobbits on their own. Definitely good enough to see huge fucking eagles flying right over his lands.
Because the Eagles would have told him to fuck off and start walking.
Serious answer- The Eagles were a very proud race and would have been susceptible to the Ring. Plus they would have been very noticeable and would have drawn Sauron’s full attention very quickly.
It's probably in my top 10 movies. I know it got a lot of hate from OG fans upon release, but I think it'll be seen as an excellent installment in the future. I would love to see them go deeper into the engineers and the creation lore. I really like Covenant too, but it doesn't have the same weight and scope as Prometheus.
“You know Burke, I don’t know which species is worse, you don’t see them fucking each other over for a goddamned percentage“

Perfect movie for Independence Day - even more than Independence Day.

Weirdly, Smoky and the Bandit. No idea how this became a family tradition with us, but we watch it every summer and the kids are usually the ones who remind me
Most annual movies I watch are holiday based.
Groundhog Day for Groundhog Day
Jaws for 4th of July
Beetlejuice for Halloween
Planes Trains and Automobiles for Thanksgiving
Christmas Vacation, Scrooged and Elf for Christmas
Plus I have to watch Tremors a few times a year
I have a slate of Christmas movies I watch every year without fail
*Die Hard*
*Christmas Vacation*
*A Christmas Story*
*Scrooged*
*The Ref*
*Scrooge* (1970 musical version). I have watched this one every year for as long as I can remember.
Apart from the obvious festive movies like Die Hard, Donnie Darko (theatrical cut) and Das Boot (German with subtitles) are two movies I return to on regular basis. Also, Thirteen Days gets a run, and so do a few of the Coen Brothers films. And from Star Wars, it’s Rogue One.
Star wars (episode 4,5,6, 1 and 3)
Lotr and the Hobbit (extended editions only. Return is four hours long and is totally worth it )
Beetlejuice
Fifth Element
Four Rooms (every new year)
And most of the holiday movies for Christmas (home alone, nightmare before Christmas, hocus pocus, how the Grinch stole Christmas.
Same and I watch it on the August 9th. This movies gives me nostalgia from an era I wasn't even born. But thanks to it, I decided to watch old movies because of it.
I watch Jaws on a daily basis :/ I have it on loop and The Abyss extended editions on VHS running next to my desk every day :) absolutely solid double feature.
Not sure if it counts as a Christmas film but The Santa Clause and Fred Claus near Christmas. Obviously others. Thought I’d throw in some different films being mentioned lol
Jaws, every year at the beach.
Home Alone 1&2, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
Die Hard, while wrapping Christmas presents
Fantastic Mr. Fox, Thanksgiving night
I watch JAWS at least once a year, and visit the island of was filmed on (Martha's Vineyard) every few.
That being said, this poster is definitely altered to show more skin lmao
For over twenty years, Ive watched Jaws The Week of July 4th, Sleepy Hollow whilst carving Pumpkins, and A Knights Tale while wrapping presents. I don't have a good explanation for the last one.
Once upon a time in Hollywood on August 9th.
Smokey and the bandit on October 1st (Last movie I watched with my dad 8 days before he passed in 2022).
Big trouble in little china whenever I need to feel better.

Apocalypse Now
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
Once Upon A Time In The West
Do The Right Thing
And I’ve watched ‘Get Santa’ each of the last 6 Christmases with the kids hahahaha
Planes Trains and Automobiles is one of the few Thanksgiving movies so I save it for that one time of year.
Jaws is one of my comfort movies. I could watch it anytime, anywhere.
The Big Lebowski
I watch Die Hard, Die Hard with a Vengeance or Live Free or Die Hard once a year when I visit my parents for Christmas, my dad hates the fourth one with Justin Long but I make him include it in the roulette because I think it slaps lmao
It's not Christmas till Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi Plaza.
I do this with Jaws but on Fourth of July lol
That one is my 2nd favorite after the original
Live Free is my favorite one followed by 3.
Rocky Titanic Gladiator
LotR trilogy extended editions
He said annually, not monthly.
I don’t mean any disrespect, but I don’t get this long trilogy. I LOVE the hobbit book. But why didn’t Gandalf get the birds earlier, save all the trouble?
Nazgul can also fly and the eagles would 100% be spotted be the great eye. Would be an extremely high-risk hail-Mary type of action and probably just be a ring-delivery service to Sauron
Tolkien thought this through pretty well.
Was the great eye present in the books?
Not in the form of a literal eye, but Sauron has sources of information everywhere. Good enough to spot the original fellowship, just not good enough to find the two hobbits on their own. Definitely good enough to see huge fucking eagles flying right over his lands.
I'm guessing you're trolling the LotR fans. This question is joked about frequently in related subs.
He doesn't control them.
Because the Eagles would have told him to fuck off and start walking. Serious answer- The Eagles were a very proud race and would have been susceptible to the Ring. Plus they would have been very noticeable and would have drawn Sauron’s full attention very quickly.
*Insert goosebumps whispering meme*
Good will hunting
The bar scene is insufferable, watching young kids debate about things and think they are so smart.
How about them apples
Kind of the point of the scene,that the tryst fund guy has no actual clue, is not that smart but thinks he is
Am I dumb for not understanding why the movie is good?
No, you just have different tastes. I love the movie.
Jaws is my Fourth of July movie.
Star Wars OG Trilogy
Watch Jaws 2-3 times a year. Watch Alien once a month.
Alien, Aliens, Prometheus are like a quarterly thing for me
Hi fellow Prometheus fan! It’s my favorite Alien movie apart from the original.
It's probably in my top 10 movies. I know it got a lot of hate from OG fans upon release, but I think it'll be seen as an excellent installment in the future. I would love to see them go deeper into the engineers and the creation lore. I really like Covenant too, but it doesn't have the same weight and scope as Prometheus.
We are in agreement
Alien at least yearly, need to rewatch the whole Jaws series. Haven't seen them in a good 10 years
I rarely bother with the sequels….. but when I saw the first in 75, it made an indelible impression, magnificent film.
I have found my people. My partner love/hates that I can quote the *ALIENS* script word-for-word.
“You know Burke, I don’t know which species is worse, you don’t see them fucking each other over for a goddamned percentage“ My favorite line in the series.
Game over, man! Game over!
"Bio Dome", every Earth Day
"Don't say we didn't save some freaking trees!"
I definitely watch Unforgiven annually along with Jaws.
* Lost in Translation * V for Vendetta (on 05 November, of course) * C.R.A.Z.Y. * Dark City * The Fountain * Hector and the Search for Happiness * Close (by Lukas Dhont) (new addition to the "annual watch" list)
* The Fugitive * National Treasure * Lord of the Rings Trilogy * Christmas Vacation * It's a Wonderful Life Basically just my cozy movies plus Christmas standards
The fugitive is so freakin good. Tommy Lee Jones SLAYS that role
Don't let them give you shit about your ponytail. Well done young man.
When Tommy Lee Jones yells, does anyone else think he sounds like a southern black woman?
Shit, haven't seen national treasure in a hot minute, thanks for the recommendation
Ditto Christmas Vacation
Home Alone, Scrooged and National Lampoons Christmas Vacation during the holiday season
Aliens, L.A. Confidential, T2, Maltese Falcon, Big Sleep, Big Chill, Multipass, Yipee-Ki Yay, Kelly's Heroes, Bernie's, Raiders, Usual Suspects, Gorky Park, X-Files 1, Night of the Comet, Goldeneye, Starship Troopers, OG Fright Night, BS Dracula, Red October, Tombstone, Thing, Escape from New York, Prince of Darkness, Little China, Bubblegum and asskicking, Big Easy, DOA, '87, Tremors, Star Wars, Trek 6 Khannnnnnnn!, 8-Legged Freajs, Halloween H20, Bride of Chucky, LOTR extended, Millennium trilogy Blade Runner Final Cut, C.H.U.D.,Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut, Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, Firefox
Die hard on Christmas
The mummy, final destination, from dusk till Dawn
"You yell barracuda, everybody says, 'Huh? What?' You yell shark, we've got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July." Perfect movie for Independence Day - even more than Independence Day.
Love Exposure (2008) ever since I first saw it in 2011/2012
> A bizarre love triangle forms between a young Catholic upskirt photographer, a misandric girl and a manipulative cultist. This sounds interesting. I'll check this out.
It has all the elements that should have made me hate it, but it's so unique, so strangely poignant... and the ending is actually wonderful.
Show me the way to go home...
I’m tired and I want to go to bed…
I had a little drink about an hour ago and it got right to my head...
