Last movie you'd watch before you die

[Quiet10]

I was sitting at lunch at work chatting with my coworkers and we somehow got onto the topic of movies, and as per usual, the topic somehow randomly changed to this scenario.

You only have a few hours to live, and you must watch a movie before you die, what movie would it be? Why?

Rules:
- you will live the entire length of the movie, but you may not do anything else except watch the movie.

- you cannot watch any trilogy or series of movies, it must be one movie, regardless of length

For myself, I just chose I Am Legend (the theatrical version) because everything ends with a boom and if i'm going to die I might as well watch something that ends the same way.

Some of my coworkers listed movies like Meet Joe Black, Star Trek II: Wrath of Kahn, etc.

What would you watch, and why?

[dewytrain]

Notebook

[Vagabond142]

Underworld.

Because if I'm going to die, Kate Beckinsale in tight latex and kicking ass as my last sights? I can live with that ;)

[Tik-Tok]

Blazing Saddles, because it's hilarious and why would I want to die watching something somber, or just special effect eye candy?

[-relk-]

Snatch

Fucking love that movie

[dj_patm]

Return of the King, because it never ends.

Not really though, I fucking hate those movies.

[Mibz]

Dreamquest

I'm too scared to IMDB it from work.

Dumb and Dumber

[bigboom]

the big lebowski

[spikerS]

tombstone. That is all.

[Quiet10]

Some good responses so far guys, but a lot of you aren't answering the "Why?" portion of it. I found some of my coworkers reasonings pretty interesting, so if you could add your reasonings I'm sure some of them would be entertaining. :clap:

[taemo]

either Cool Runnings, Rush Hour 2 or 2 Fast 2 Furious for me because they are my comfort movies, no matter how many times I've seen them I always enjoy them.

[civic_stylez]

The Sandlot.

Why? Its just the perfect explanation of childhood. The logic is especially accurate. Just reminds me of being a kid again.

[JordanLotoski]

TED

[95teetee]

Dark Shadows.

oh wait, I said I'd die before I'd ever watch that movie.

[zipdoa]

Fight Club

[fiveowed]

The Departed

[CompletelyNumb]

What dreams may come. Make me think I'm going to live in a painting when i die.

[RickDaTuner]

POTC - On Stranger Tides.

Fun feel good movie, end life on an adventure!

[shutterbug_art8]

The Legend of Bruce Lee.

So I can get all hyped up to meet him...soon.

[Bladeh]

Green Mile

[EM1FTW]

zombieland
emma stone in that movie....damn.

[kvg]

Beetlejuice

[CanmoreOrLess]

Harold and Maude, a dark comedy about the very theme of death and living your last days.

Blood in Blood out.

[Mista Bob]

Idiocracy. So at least I'd look forward to being dead.


...serious answer though? Blade Runner (final cut).

The Notebook is a good choice. Bitches love The Notebook.

Or Inception so I can blow my mind repeatedly.

[thrasher22]

Ghostbusters, because I'm sure I'll want to haunt the shit outta SOMEONE after I go and will need tips to avoid the fuzz.

[Feruk]

Spice World - so I'll really wanna die.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Someone in my group also suggested Gigli for this purpose. I've never watched it but it sure has some bad reviews...

300

Few movies make you feel more manly than 300, maybe Beowulf...
300 is more appropriate in preparation for dining in hell.

[98brg2d]

Forest Gump. I figure I would want to relive an entire lifetime of memories and feel the happiness, sadness, nostalgia and every other emotion that Forest Gump inspires. Plus it has a great soundtrack.

Great choice!

And for you Game of Thrones fans, I myself didn't even realize Cersei Lannister was Queen Gorgo from 300... :eek:

[JRSC00LUDE]

Groundhog Day.

[EK 2.0]

I would have to flip a coin between the Green Mile and the Shawshank Redemption...

Whichever one would be a good final watch so it doesn't much matter to me which I land on...

As for reasons...how can you go wrong with either??...that is all the reason you need.

The Big Lebowski

It really was a toss up between this one and Blazing Saddles for me, but the latter was the first real movie I remember watching as a kid, so I figure it should be the last as well.

[Jmay1988]

Either Lawrence of Arabia or Gladiator.

[jonnycat]

About Schmidt.

So by the end I would welcome death

[Boosted131]

Happy Gilmore

[Kramerica]

Has to be Jackie Brown. especially for the end with Across 110th street playing

[swak]

Disney - Fantasia; or
Pink Floyd - The Wall

... So my mind is so fucked, I won't realize I'm dead/dying/about to die

[Kolbatron]

Hollywood Homicide

Never gets old!

[A790]

Gattaca.

[black13]

^Gattaca is a really good choice.

I gotta go with my favourite movie Terminator 2. Seen it more than anything else and the ending seems fit for a last movie.

Yea, I'd want to die thinking about possibilities.

And space. Space is rad too.
