Are you a scientologist? Or gay? I'm the opposite to you, I can't watch anything with Tom Cruise in it. Not once, let alone over and over.

Tom Cruise is a waste of oxygen


i thought tom cruise was good in ummm, gee i just can't think of any



The Hyenas are circling.
Did I say I like Tom Cruise ? Can't stand the bloke after that sofa jumping episode on Oprah.
Bryan Brown makes Cocktail a good movie NOT Cruise. Coughlan's Law - "Bury the dead,they stink out the joint".
I will sit through A Few Good Men just to see the final courtroom scene. Colonel Jessop played by Jack Nicolson makes this movie a good watch NOT Cruise. "Son,we live in a world that has walls........"
And Top Gun, well I just "Feel the need for speed".
Sh-t, I also like The Colour of Money. Paul Newman makes this a good watch NOT Cruise.
I'm not gay ("not that there's anything wrong with that") and not a scientologist. I am not political correct either so I couldn't possibly take offence to these comments.

haha I actually reckon Tom Cruise is a good actor so I'll watch and enjoy his movies for the most part.

It's pretty sad if you let an actors personal life affect the way you watch a film.

+1 for Three Kings.

I just had to swallow down a small piece of puke that came up my throat.

A movie I would like to see again is Wise Blood - haven't seen it for around twenty years. I wonder if it's still good or will look dated?

No way - Jerry Maguire was good.


Good for pretending to some chick that you liked it, and then a bit of nookie is forthcoming

First surf flik i ever saw and then learnt the script after watching it 3,212,398 times.
Anyone who grew up surfing with mates understands this movie.

Nah, not me. I'm....I'm just a garbage man

Bit hard to choose just three. I'll ruminate for a while. Tentative start - "El laberinto del fauno".

I could probably go with "Bram Stoker's Dracula". Keanu Reeves stilted acting is nullified by Gary Oldman and Monica Bellucci.

So many others as well. I could've included "The Princess Bride", a bunch of sci-fi, a bunch of horror, a bunch of zombies.

really, i reckon you can only watch a movie over again and again if it has some great lines.
plenty of movies mentioned in here that trigger some memories.

saving private ryan affected me, but i don't think i would watch it again.

for me, there are a quite a few in this watch once category. doesn't mean i don't like them

Empire Strikes back

Alien & Aliens

I love Danny Boyle's films big time and I haven't seen a crap one.

my favourites:

28 Days Later
Trainspotting
Sunshine

28 days later is one I could watch many times over. Trainspotting has so many key scenes that to this day still gross me out and make me laugh at the same time.

I'm not a fan of Cruise but he was great in Magnolia and Collateral.

He played supremely narcicistic, power driven socio/psychopaths and was very good in those roles.. hang on a sec..

Lebowsky was good for a few times.

Ishtar a couple of times. ("How big Am I", and "Telling the truth can be dangerous business")
