Weird topic but I was curious what are your old or young parents into? What is that one movie they always rewatch or used to watch/rewatch on TV if they got a chance?

My folks always rewatch Black Cat, White Cat.

Black Cat, White Cat (1998) ⭐ 8.0 | Comedy, Crime, Romance

2h 7m | R

www.imdb.com

I mean they always love when Die Hard is on TV but this movie? Damn, they go crazy over it. I enjoyed it as well but not as much as they do.

 

[BlackTron]

The Princess Bride and Back to the Future

 

[Batiman]

Old people don’t lists favourites or put them in rankings. They just like them or don’t.

From my experience anyways

 

[Aesius]

Together it was probably Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. They quoted it all the time when I was a kid and I assumed it sucked because obviously anything your parents like sucks.

Finally watched it in college and was howling with laughter. Called them the next day to tell them how much I loved it and all they could do was laugh and say “we told you so for 20 years!”

No idea about my dad, he barely watches movies. I’m not sure what my mom’s all time favorites are too, though I remember when I showed her Zombieland years ago she said after finishing it that it honestly might be one of her favorite movies.

this is fucking profoundly true

 

[Rival]

I don’t think my mom has ever watched a movie. My dads favorite movie was Top Gun.

Had the same experience with Amelie.



My Mother loved it.

 

[GreenAlien]

The 13th Warrior

My mother is a big fan of this movie.

 

[Irobot82]

My Mom's is either The Sound of Music or Gone with the Wind.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Good idea for a topic OP. We watched tons of movies together but I never thought to ask my parents outright what their favorites are.

If I had to guess, my mom's is probably White Christmas (the old Christmas musical from the 50s) and my dad's is Braveheart.

 

[AJUMP23]

My mom was a big fan of 7 brides for 7 brothers. Which is an amazing musical.

My dad I have no idea.

 

[GeekyDad]

Three immediately come to mind:

• West Side Story
• Sound of Music
• Roots

[pramod]

Goldfinger
Gone With the Wind

 

[Star-Lord]

Mom: Grease
Dad: A Fistful Of Dollars/A Few Dollars More/The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

 

[01011001]

most likely Home Alone, Halloween or Goldfinger

 

[Irobot82]

I realize I haven't a clue what my fathers favorite movie is, or any of his favorite things. I don't even know what his favorite band is.....

 

[West Texas CEO]

Behind the Green Door.

 

[Dark Star]

My dad watches Goldeneye all the time

 

[Koenigssee]

My father loves Lawrence of Arabia, tbh that one was straight poop on a 4:3 CRT TV, and way too damn long, in a hot summer no less.

Many years later I watched it in 4K on a calibrated TV, and finally understand its greatness.

 

[Artoris]

Dirty dancing

Gone with the wind

 

[12Goblins]

Forrest Gump. And my dad went to film school in Paris.

 

[Kenpachii]

The 13th Warrior

My mother is a big fan of this movie.

SOOOO GOOOOD

 

[Sidney Prescott]

My Dad loves Back to the Future. It was always one of his favourites to rewatch and still is, so it's how I became such a big fan of the trilogy too growing up. Started my obsession with 80's movies too.

Mom it was Dirty Dancing and Titanic.

 

[gar3]

For my mother, Friendly Persuasion:

For my father, nothing. He'll watch movies at home but we rarely went to the theater together while I was growing up since he's "not much of a movie-guy."

 

[Yerd]

This is a good question that I now have to ask my parents. I'm pretty sure I have a wrong answer. My mother, I really don't know. She watches Hallmark garbage constantly, so she loves that type of stuff, but I know she likes a bunch of regular movies. Still no clue what her favorite might be. She watches way more movies than my father.

My father's might be O Brother Where Art Thou, because I know he loves the soundtrack. But, I'm guessing I'm wrong. It's way too new. He's in his 70s.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Apollo 13

Titanic

Meet joe black

Jhon wick

My dad watches Goldeneye all the time

Me too and the game

 

[MaestroMike]

not sure about pops, but for my mom its probably not without my daughter

 

[Kagey K]

That's fucked that I don't know.

My dad used to let me stay up with him and watch Bond movies, but they were just on TV.

Now I feel the need to ask. So thanks for the conversation starter

 

[akimbo009]

Dad had a bunch.... the last boy scout always stood out, so did terminator, alien, and predator. Last thing he made me desperately watch was The accountant. He had a very particular taste.

My mom doesn't watch movies.

 

[MastAndo]

My dad is a big Western guy. I'm not 100% sure specifically which movie is his favorite, but I think I recall him saying it was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

My mom's favorite is Cinema Paradiso or La Vita è Bella.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Real answer - Alien. They watched it like 100 of times.

 

[Punished Miku]

Dad: Bloodsport
Mom: Dirty Dancing

 

[AV]

Dad's favourites were standard Dad movies. Dambusters, The Great Escape, Bridge on the River Kwai. Also a massive Bond fan, specifically Roger Moore era.

Mum's is The King and I.

 

[joedan]

Titanic. Only because it’s the only movie I’ve ever seen my mom watch. And I don’t think she even watched it to the end.
Coming to America. Only because it’s the only movie I’ve ever seen my dad watch.

 

[Kenpachii]

My dadhad a few. Clint eastwood movies, columbo series, disney movies, adventure movies.
