Jesus, this sounds really bad

There Aren't Enough Bricks in the World to Throw at Roland Emmerich’s Appalling Stonewall

No one should see it!

Hee hee.

You were all, we should wait till we see it weren't you?

I'm quite sure that I have no idea what you're talking about.

What kind of home viewing set up do you lot have? I got me a projector the other week and I’m really excited to start using it.

60" Samsung
I've got a Sony receiver and bunch of speakers that I'm not really sure how to set up.

I'd love a projector. Will be very interested in how you go about setting it up.

Yeah, my current flat isn’t ideal for it tbh, but I’m planning a move soon. I’m setting it up in my bedroom until I move to a bigger place. Got a stand and a 90 Inch retractable screen. Just need to get some kick ass speakers and I’ll be in business.

Will a wall not do?

My walls are off white. Screen was £30, reduced from £200.

My walls are off white.

Ok, cool.

My bedroom walls are yellow and I was going to use them anyway. Ha.
I guess I have low standards.

Maybe I could just skim coat and paint that particular wall white though. Would fuck with my deposit maybe.


So basically you'd need the projector and the DVD player next you you at the head of the bed, right?
Kind of the opposite of a TV set up?

I am planning to connect it to my laptop rather than a dvd player, but yeah. Going to stick it on this stand at the head of the bed Amazon product ASIN B00785DJU8

Unfortunately, I’ll be at a slight angle because it’s a small space but I think it should be fine. Looked at ceiling mounts but didn’t want to put a permanent fixture in the ceiling.

First film I’m going to watch on it is Days of Heaven.

A few screw holes should be no problem to repair

Your biggest problem will be finding the ceiling joists to get the screws into.
No way I'd use a stand.
What about a really high mounted shelf above the bed?

My room is weirdly laid out, hard to describe without seeing it but I don’t think it was ever intended to be used as a bedroom. I really only have one wall I can use, and the bed is really jammed in there so moving it around isn’t a possibility. I got advice from a friend who uses a stand and he said it works a treat, but his is in his living room which is a much bigger space. I’ll try the stand and if that doesn’t work I may have to get the ceiling fixture, problem there is the light is bang smack where I’d need to put it to project onto the only good wall.

Though frequently aligned, a film's quality and its rewatchability are hardly synonymous. There are plenty of great films that one only catches a few times in one's life, and others that get slipped onto the disc or media streaming player quite regularly. The same goes for bad films - some you'd never touch again, yet others you keep coming back to because there's something compelling about them.

Earlier this week, FiveThirtyEight decided to explore this question in an effort to figure out the most rewatchable movies of all-time. Using a SurveyMonkey Audience poll, they asked people to list the five films they consider the most rewatchable. With over 1,100 respondents voting in the results they got back were not unexpected:

Spoiler

Star Wars
The Wizard of Oz
The Sound of Music
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Gone with the Wind
The Godfather Films
The Princess Bride
The Shawshank Redemption
Harry Potter Film Series
It's A Wonderful Life
Forrest Gump
Grease
Dirty Dancing
Pulp Fiction
Titanic
The Lion King
Pretty Woman
Casablanca
The Matrix
The Notebook
Star Trek
Finding Nemo
Goodfellas
Pride & Prejudice
Caddyshack
The Avengers

The 25 Most Rewatchable Movies Of All Time

 

[Jim Daniels]

Don't know about that list.

They forgot the Bourne trilogy for starters

 

[pete]

Spoiler

if someone simply entered “Star Wars” — as about 9 percent of respondents did — I’m not sure if that meant 1977’s Episode IV or the whole series

JESUS

 

[Cormcolash]

There's some pure shit on that list, and they forgot 'most 1980s John Carpenter films' as well as The Burbs

 

[tim]

That's a pretty bad list alright.
My most rewatched movies of the last 10 years are Thin Red Line, There WIll Be Blood and THe Master.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Lord of the Rings? Jesus.

Props to the Notebook though
