Forget a movie so you can experience it like new

Low content.

Now, if I was to just say that, I'd get modded. If I clarified it by saying "That's what they call it when you get a warning for your content being too low", that'd be fine.

To avoid getting a warning, you could have pointed out that the three words in the title begin with letters than are consecutive in reverse alphabetical order, or that the number of syllables in each word is the same as the position of the word in the title.

That would have given your post more content, and thus you'd have been ok.

Uh... ok, I guess..?
So, is this kind of check automatic, of there is an army of third-world country children in a sweatshop going through every single message posted on the forums?

Also, can't I just edit my post in order to add more "content"?

EDIT: thanks to everyone for multiple answers.

Ong Bak 2: The Beginning, because no other martial arts film has lived up to my expectations after that film raised the bar so high.

 

[TheDrunkNinja]

Just out of curiosity - could anyone clarify why I received a warning for answering to the thread?

Low content post. To be honest, it is kind of splitting hairs here since other people here have posted similarly but made trivially small additions like "I was blown away by it" or "Best live-action Batman ever". Regardless, you can't just leave your answer in a question thread, you have to say why you chose that answer.

OT: For me, I'd have to say the original Star Wars movies, but only if I could get the memories I lost back afterwards. I really would like to know if my shear love for this franchise is mostly nostalgia based. Am I just stuck on it for being the most memorable movie experience of my childhood, or does it live up to my film standards as an adult?

Robocop. Having rewatched it, I still hold it as the high point of action films, the biggest reason being subtle depth. If you want, it's a discussion on free will, what makes a human a person, privatization, unregulated technology, all kinds of little things, interwoven into the story without having a character just stop the movie for five minutes to outright rant about them. Also, no shoehorned love interest. In a modern movie, the issue of robocop's humanity would be addressed by several references to his dick and a female lead who's only purpose in the plot is to have on ass kicking scene, then spend the rest of her screen time hungering for robot cock, because tossing sex into everything = maturity, somehow. Then robocop would give a big speech about "technology is good but a few people owning it is bad and we should stay as humans with tech and not be transhumans cuz that's also bad and rant rant wank wank" for five godamned minutes that feel like 50.

Of course, the other advantage to subtle storytelling is that if you don't want any of that transhumanism, limits of tech bullshit screwing up your murderfest, then Robocop is a movie about a big robot man shooting rapists in the dick, and it is very good at that.

I'd like to see it fresh because, having been a fan since I was like 6 or so, I've analyzed and been around people who analyze the shit out of it so much, I'd like to see how much of the subtle storytelling a new viewer could pick up on, just to make sure I'm not just seeing shit that isn't there (I'm certain I'm not, but still, it'd be nice to check.)

The Nightmare Before Christmas.

When I first saw this movie, I was convinced that I would be scared out of my wits, and I would have nightmares. It turned out to be one of my favorite movies of all time and I had sweet dreams that night.

The best movie to watch the first time would have to be Memento. Actually, it's pretty awesome to watch it a second and third time too just to catch all the little things you didn't the first time. For anyone who isn't familiar with the title, it's basically a movie that has had each of it's scenes reversed, so it starts from the end and goes to the beginning because the main character has extreme short term memory loss and can't remember anything. It's just a fantastic movie and Guy Pierce does a great job in it.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I'm gonna say Aliens. I first saw it when I was pretty young so a lot stuff went right over my head, but the action and sci-fi theme had me hooked. It'd be nice to watch it for the first time with the attention span to understand all the business dealings going at the beginning. I'd also love to relive the tension of the marines trying to escape LV-426, having to come up with new plans as their options, resources, and numbers run out. I love that movie.

 

[EeviStev]

I'm going to flagrantly break the rules and say Breaking Bad. More specifically, the episodes "To'hajiilee" and "Ozymandias". Apart from what actually happens being the most heart-pounding entertainment I've experienced since I played Amnesia: The Dark Descent, I choose these episodes because prior to viewing them I had a conversation about BB with a friend and, even though I explicitly told him which episode I was up to, he mentioned that

Spoiler

Hank dies

and I mean, come on. I know there's sure to be many more jaw-dropping development- I've only just finished watching Ozymandias- but I envy those who didn't see it coming.

 

[TakerFoxx]

Serenity. It blew me away when I first saw it, and I hadn't even heard of Firefly at the time. Now I want to know what it would be like to see it for the first time having seen the series.

 

[MysticSlayer]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

It hasn't had the same impact on me as other movies like Apocalypse Now or Se7en, but in terms of just being a fun movie to watch for the first time, I don't think any movie compares for me.

 

[Treeinthewoods]

Man, you all have bad some good ideas (Robocop, The Shawshank Redemption) but I would choose Forrest Gump. That's my favorite movie ever, experiencing it for the first time again would be amazing.

I must admit, I almost said the first Austin Powers movie just so all the jokes would be new again (the Tom Arnold scene particularly) but... Forrest Gump wins out.

 

[Brian Tams]

Probably the Toy Story movies. Seriously, amazing film making by Pixar. I would love to experience it all again.

Outside of that, any of the M. Night Shyamalan movies, some so I can experience them spoiler free again (sixth sense, Signs), and other so I can have the experience of watching them scrubbed from my brain (everything else).

Oh, and Fight Club.

 

[KoudelkaMorgan]

I would have to say Jacob's Ladder, because someone already said Memento.

Maybe The Neverending Story or The Princess Bride.

The first 2 for the twists being fresh.

That latter to for the feels being fresh.

I wouldn't hurt that midget at all, I'd ask him to hit me in the head at least 1-2 times per year so I can enjoy some of my favorite games that lose a bit of their charm after you played them once. As for movies...I dunno, can't think of a movie that affected me that much to want to see it again without knowing anything about it. Maybe some movies like Tekken or Dragonball Evolution, but I don't want to see them again after I'm getting hit.
I know it's completely offtopic but I had a similar discussion with some friends regarding bioshock infinite that it should have came with a memory wiper like one of those in men in black

 

[Musclepunch]

Pulp Fiction, that film was so great to watch for the first time due to the weird chronology it has

 

[Shinsei-J]

Donnie Darko
Once I get the initial viewing experience and fall in love with it I'd get to watch it over and pick up on all the stuff I miss the first time!
God I love this movie.

Though I could go and ka-bonk myself for Shutter Island.
Hmm hard choice.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

I think I'd pick Donnie Darko. That movie just blew me away the first time I've seen it. Totally out of the blue, well made, great soundtrack and a wee bit more than a sprinkle of mindfeck.

I also think Midnight Run qualifies as a movie that should be seen once by any males or all people that have any business with males. It's a decent, American adventure with Robert De Niro, and I think I'm still in love with young Charles Grodin to some extent. Can't help it. It's also got the value-added bonus of Pantoliano, Kotto and Farina, so it's just one of those odd movies that's a bit too good to be true. I have seen this movie an odd sixty times and I'm still able to enjoy it.

I would also like to forget the three Matrix movies, but I would only watch the first one again. The other two give me breast cancer.
