Well, you can always start another topic for it. But those of us here should get to be founding members. Especially ones who had those clunky open reel tape things.

I don't think I ever considered taping Firefly - it's just too visual. Although with dvds, it'd be a cinch to rip the audio and burn the mp3s to cd. I have an mp3 cd player in my car, even. Way easier process than hooking up the vcr to the cassette deck or the computer inputs. Isn't technology grand?

It did have a brief moment during the first run of Babylon 5, since JMS wasn't shy about letting everyone know he was a fan. IIRC, Gareth Thomas even presented him with an award dressed like Blake - last episode Blake...

For me, it was just the right antidote to years of ST:TNG and all that political correctness. I liked Dark Angel for the same reason, all that gloomy post-apocolyptic scenery.

Desperado's up there for me, too. Sometimes I watch it just to hear the soundtrack.

But you had to do it the hard way Chrisisall

Here's the thing about Seven and why I really, really enjoyed that movie. Mills, as presented in the movie is in a headlong, foregone conclusion with the ending of this movie. If you watch eve the tiniest little detail...even in his first scene, he gets a little angry at someone for bumping into him. Every little thing about Mills screams that he was just the perfect person that Doe was looking for and exploited to explosive effect. Why Mills is struggling at the end, is because for all his apparent "intelligence" shortcomings, Mills is a good cop. He knows its wrong to kill a suspect. And for me, I think that is the ONLY reason that he hesistated, beyond the shock of the moment...Now me, on the other hand, would have pistol whipped the shit out of John Doe, shot him in the head six or seven times, danced on his corpse, set it on fire, and then pissed out the flames...right or wrong be damned...And there would have been no hesistation.

Isn't Desperado great...Its a crap movie, but one that is saved by some savvy direction and people who were genuinely pleased to be making almost a guerilla/mainstream film. Did you know that Columbia pictures gave Robert Rodriguez 30 mil to make that movie, and he told them to keep it...he only needed 3! That's balls, baby!

You all got me curious, so I did a little lookin'. I can't seem to find Blake's 7 on dvd here in the states, and I don't have a region free player, but when it's released here, I think I'll get S1, it seems cool.
Are the special effects along the lines of UFO? It looks similar in the pictures I saw.
I also saw good reviews of Global Frequency around here...

Desperado was an absolutly perfect B movie! I LOVE the way it ends, throwing the case on the road, then coming back for it as the music swells.
I can't believe I couldn't really get into Once Upon A Time In Mexico! I was so hot to see it, and when I did, I was like, hey, why don't I love this movie? Why is Salma now a (dead) killer? How come Depp (who I love, BTW) seems to be the star? Where is Antonio in most of it?

Anyway, I've seen Desperado about 35-40 times.

Blakes 7 is not yet available in the US on DVD, but they are up to Season 3 (out of 4) in the UK. I imagine it won't be long, as the Dr. who DVDs sell well in the States. Maybe they are waiting to release the whole series as a big box set...

The FX are probably comparable to UFO, or Dr. Who. Although it has a big advantage over Dr. Who in that it is mainly a show about human characters, and very rarely tries to depict monsters or aliens, which are where the budget limitations of Who really showed through.

B7 also has the best ending of any series ever, in my opinion.

Hmm...Half seasons, boxed set should come in at $80 - $90, okay, I'm in.
If Blake's 7 is even half as good as Starlost, I'll be a happy space camper.*

Movies (in chronological order from the first time I saw them, because I'm bored

): the Star Wars OT, The Princess Bride, Space Camp, The Little Mermaid (Disney), Beauty and the Beast (Disney), Independence Day

TV: Firefly: Out of Gas, Shindig, Safe, Serenity, and Objects in Space (I've seen all the episodes too many times to count, but these are the eps I taped from the original airings, and therefore have had more opportunity to watch).

Stargate SG-1: 'Upgrades,' 'Divide and Conquer,' 'Window of Opportunity,' and 'Entity'

Buffy: 'The Wish,' 'Once More With Feeling' and the episodes that were released on those VHS box sets, so basically the end of seasons 2 and 3 and the beginning of season 1.

Angel: 'Hero,' 'I Will Remember You,' 'Smile Time,' and 'You're Welcome'

I know there's more... I watch entirely too much television

Umm...Toy Story a ridiculous number of times. Everyone in my house did - middle brother nearly wore out the tape he loved it so much!

Other films: The Matrix, original three Star Wars, Lion King, Moulin Rouge. Armageddon

TV: Buffy - Prophecy Girl (because unlike OMWF and Intervention, which are my faves, I have it on DVD), the pilot of West Wing along with The Crackpots and these Women and The Drop In. Oh, and Two Cathedrals because of the last ten minutes. And loads of Friends, Simpsons and MASH episodes because they're on all the time.

Don't tend to rewatch movies all that often, come to think of it. I just keep finding so much new stuff to see.

Just posting to say that I'm looking forward to Blake's 7 turning up on North America as well. I hear that it may have partially inspired parts of Andromeda (I've heard Avon repeatedly compared to Tyr).

The Firefly Pilot episode, not necessarily because it was my favorite or something (I loves them all!) but because of all the times I've shown it to someone else. Yay!

A close second would probably be LOTR:FOTR

I remember sneaking out of bed to watch Blake's 7 on PBS as a kid. I first started watching when Tarrant joined/took over. What season was that?

I just remember finding it so cool that "Blake's 7" ended up having neither Blake nor seven! That just didn't happen on American TV.

As for the main topic of this thread...

Besides the usual suspects: (Firefly, Holy Grail, Princess Bride, and many musicals - and I include O Brother, Where Art Thou as a musical), for some reason I watched the Ray Liotta movie, No Escape over and over and over, but never the begining as it got taped over after my first viewing of it.

As far as TV Eps., Highlander's "Comes a Horseman" and "Rev. 6.8" got a lot of play. And I have a thing for Welch accents, too.

It starts with the Paris sequence before moving to Casablanca -- no flashback. Showed up on TV once, sometime betwixt 1986 & 1991 (only time I've had TV from 1979 to present). I've never seen it reviewed, so it may not be a studio approved edit. I suspect you'll never find it, so I'm going to risk prejudicing you -- it isn't as good @telling the story.

In addition to knowing a fair bit about Rick before the flashback starts, and wondering how he got that way, the time we spend watching the flashback stands in for the time Rick spends drinking, waiting for Ilsa. It works much better than cutting from a bitter Rick starting to drink in the darkened bar, and a drunken, bitter Rick 3/4 of a bottle later. The flashback isn't just for us; it's Rick paralyzing his amygdala.

Tarrant joined the crew at the beginning of season 3. I too loved the fact that they never quite could come up with 7 cast members, so they just said "Umm, the computer is the 7th..."!

No they don't! They go better with Coke...you know that...

More, and I can't stress this enough, films that I've seen at least over 20 times...

Something Wicked This Way Comes, Gone With The Wind, Simply Irresistible, Ocean's Eleven, Memento (I requested this for one of my birthdays...the one with the easter egg that will play the movie in order), Ladyhawke (Though admittedly, most of the times I watched it was when I was a kid), Wild Things (I'm not a pervert...its actually a really good movie), The Quiet Man (Mmmmmm...Maureen O'Hara), Home On The Range (Try not to laugh!), Lilo and Stitch, Hercules, Reservoir Dogs, To Kill A Mockingbird, The LOTR trilogy, Monsters Inc. (Almost every Pixar film that comes out, I don't think I want to see, and they're all great!), All The Harry Potter movies, Mulan, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Half Baked (Hey, I was in college!), most anything in the Kevin Smith ouvre, Crouching Dragon Hidden Dragon, The Terminator, 8mm (Though I regret it everytime I watch it), The 39 Steps (If you want to see where most action films learned pacing, watch this old Alfred Hitchcock flick!), Joe's Apartment (I stand by it), The Game, Swingers (I had the movie poster in college!)and, to finish up for now...The Way of the Gun (Now, that's how you start a damn movie!!!)

More TV...okay...I'll admit to watching every episode of Family Guy several times, Space Ghost Coast to Coast (I can't help it, its funny to me!), Mr. Show...

For specific episodes...Once More With Feeling (And yes, I sing along with all the guy parts...), The Zeppo, Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered, The Gift, Passion, and many, many more. City of, To Shanshu in LA, In The Dark (Its hard to find Evil Spike, and he was doing overtime here...), She (Actually, just the dancing parts) and the episodes that Faith shows up in...
I've seen Serenity and Out of Gas more than any other episodes of Firefly.

And, I guess I'm out for now...Oh, before I go, I have to mention the Clerks cartoon...those guys actually do great voice work!

Original Star Wars. Easily close to 500 times. (don't forget, it's been out for 28 yrs!) I also audio-taped it in the years "BVCR" -before VCRs and listened to the tape over and over and over. I still know ALL the dialogue by heart (very first line? C3PO: "Did you hear that? They've shut down the main reactors. We'll be destroyed for sure. THis is madness." lol)and I even know all the music cues. God, I've not talked about the depth of my nerdness before. This is kinda cathartic. YES, MY NAME IS LARRY AND I'M A GEEK. (Hi Larry!)

When VCR's finally came into existence, I had one tape in particular that I wore out from watching. On it was Star Wars, Star Trek 2 -wrath of Khan, and Escape From New York. Over and over and over and over and over again I'd put that tape into the machine and just park infront of the tv for hours. I'd "Accidentally" miss the school bus and watch the tape the rest of the day. Even when I stayed home legitimately sick, I'd watch the tape.

Other films I've seen WAY too many times: Empire Strikes Back, Blade Runner, The Thing, Terminator 1, The Abyss, Alien, Aliens, Dune, E.T., Jaws, Wizard of Oz, Raising Arizona, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind. I can say dialogue with the characters in all of these! lol
what a loser! LOL

hehe you can add me to that silly list. We had a VCR but no cable when i was growing up. I would go rent G.I. Joe movies and audio tape them for later. Our TV room was in a converted garage and the door had a lock on it. I would put a sign on the door stating that i was recording and that silence was required.

Original Star Wars so many times I lost count, drove mum round the bend with the whole knowing the dialogue backwards. I think she may have banished it to the bedroom at some point. Indiana Jones never got banished though, wore the vids out.

And the pilot of the A-Team, watched it over and over and over til it got trashed.

T2, Alladin too - I love that one, Toy Story got a fair battering too. Angel - Smile Time, ah how wonderful was that episode.

And Firefly. I wore out the DVD's. Enough said.

I was in the audience at WonderCon when Joss denied ever seeing a handful of shows that have been claimed as "obvious influences" on his work; among them were Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, and (unfortunately) Blake's 7.

Of course, he also added that "Of all the shows I've never seen, Outlaw Star is my favorite." So it might be necessary to take his statement with a grain of salt.

It won't be long before I can say Angel- Not Fade Away. I watch that extremely often.

But for now my most watched thing is probably Disney's The Lion King. I watched that like every week as a kid. It never seemed to get old.

My movies: FifthElement, PrincessBride, and WingsofDesire (auf Deutsch).

Just out of fanatical interest, I'm reading this thread thinking, "Hey, here's a great way to get a list of new movies to see." so I start reading it over again and tabulating.

For the record, here are movies more than 3 browncoats have admitted to seeing a ridiculous amount of times:
SW,
LoTR,
ArmyofDarkness,
Buffy (various,*but not angel! oh how telling!),
HP,
MP,
PrincessBride,
Indiana, esp Raiders,
DS9,
Highlander,
Blakes7,
FifthElement,
BladeRunner,
GrossePointeBlank,
BlazingSaddles.

I for one, think this is an *fascinating* compilation with deep psychoanalytic consequences...

i DO aim to misbehave

LadyHawke... I don't even know the number of times. I don't really have to watch it anymore either - I can just listen to the soundtrack and let the movie play out in my head.

The original three Star Wars movies and the “Special Editions”, I watched them constantly over the space of months.

Star Trek II. My VHS tape is almost kaput.

The Hunt for Red October, The Enemy Below and Flight of the Intruder. I watched these over and over for weeks for no real reason. I can almost recite them line-by-line and I speak random lines of dialog from my favorite scenes when I'm bored or cooking (I got to tape myself saying “My Morse is so rusty I might be sending him dimensions on playmate of the month” or “If that bastard so much as twitches I’m going to blow him right to Mars” when cooking macaroni and cheese its go to be high-larious.).

The original broadcast tape of Firefly I made. When I was moving (Packing boxes alone) I would leave it running in the background. It was great.

I guess you haven't owned Dark Angel long enough to be ridiculous with it yet.

No, I've only actually had them for about a month - but (except for a few particularly hectic days) I've been watching like an episode a day - I've seen both seasons through twice in order (even the crap ones) and am now running through all my fave season 2 eps (I lent s1 to a friend - I may as well have given her my arm - sniff) anyhoo. yeah. Couldn't really say I'd watched it a ridiculous # of times yet because I haven't. I'm getting there though.
