I first heard about the remake when I was reading an article on the new James Bond movie with the race and gender swap. Haven’t heard or seen anything lately but it bothered me enough to watch Chity again.
As a child I loved the whole movie, especially the songs. Lol. “The ok’ bamboo” was my favorite along with the “oh you pretty little bang bang, Chitty Chitty bang bang we love you” song while riding through the English countryside.
I think Ian wrote this before his Bond series, but if you catch the names of the characters, he was already using his magic. ie: Caractacus Potts and Truly Scrumptious.

Something I’ve been meaning to rewatch for ages now……The Usual Suspects……..

Think about all the hours spent being "entertained" by the MIC.

I personally regret it. Wish I could have that time back, but at least I know better now.

If I made a list, it would resemble yours, but I'd add documentaries and lots of movies made before the 80s. I'm more entertained by the Stooges as far as comedies today go, and there are thousands of black and white films that put today's ULTRA HD 50,000K REACH OUT AND TOUCH AND SMELL THE ACTION movies made today that are using technology to refine and perfect subliminal messaging to shame. I prefer my brain to see a frame inserted with a pic of Marlboros or a message telling me how the government wuvs me....

Star and Flag for reminding me to turn off the idiot box, which I had just turned on for background brainwashing.

Keyser Soze is still out there somewhere...

I'm surprised Follywood hasn't made a prequel that explains how Soze was a transgender identifying as a toaster that only warmed up Pop Tarts because Toaster Strudels voted for Trump and the reason he really went on a killing rampage was because feelz and stuff...

Sounds like you have great taste as far as films are concerned. Peeps these days have no clue what they're missing by constantly devouring current forms of movie magic.

I remember when AMC actually showed great flicks, a Friday night on the couch with AMC playing was something a theater could never upstage.

Got some of those in my list as well, in this section (starting where I left it off with Rambo in my response to Terry about older movies; the list in the middle in that comment, which, in my binge-list, is below the movies I listed at the end of that comment):

Rambo / First Blood 1988 series
Leviathan (1989)
Dick Tracy 1990
Miller's Crossing (1990)
A Bronx Tale (1993)
Groundhog Day (1993)
Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994)
Léon (1994)
The Mask (1994)
The Specialist (1994)
Assassins (1995)
Daylight (1996)
Face/Off (1997)
Ronin 1998
The Sixth Sense (1999)

About 70 movies above that and continuing where I left it off at the end of my comment to Terry with "etc.":

Empire of the Sun 1987
Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
It (1990)
King of New York 1990
New Jack City (1991)
Billy Bathgate 1991
The Silence of the Lambs (1991) series
Far and Away 1992
Under Siege 1992 series
Speed (1994) series
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Forrest Gump (1994)

Spaceballs and Deadpool are already listed in my OP, at the start of tier 10 and as part of the X-Men 2000 series (tier 4) respectively.

The other movies you listed I haven't seen yet except for Monty Python's The Holy Grail , which I didn't find very funny and comedies are not that well represented in my list anyway. Got a couple of Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy and Michael J. Fox movies in there and those with an additional genre like Sci-Fi or fantasy.

The Burbs is probably my favorite (counting The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as Sci-Fi).

I find it interesting how Savannah Smiles and Time Bandits are forever linked together in my mind, because I watched them back to back when I was a kid. (I assume '82 or '83). To me, they belong together.

Hmm, in that case I may have to make some adjustments to my list cause I've got Time Bandits in there, but I didn't notice Savannah Smiles. I put Time Bandits in there because Sean Connery was in it, but I wasn't sure anymore whether or not I already saw the movie at least once. I've got another list for movies I haven't seen yet. For now, Time Bandits is around these parts (starting where I left off in one of my other comments with The Sixth Sense):

The Sixth Sense (1999)
Snatch (2000)
Men of Honor 2000
The Score 2001
I Spy 2002
Bruce Almighty 2003
The Italian Job (2003)
The Machinist (2004)
The Da Vinci Code (2006) ; Angels & demons 2009 ; Inferno (2016)
Machete 2010 series
The Fighter (2010)
The Wolfman (2010)
Captain Phillips (2013)
American Hustle 2013
Kingsman 2014 series
Venom 2018
Sonic the Hedgehog 2020
Who Framed Roger Rabbit 1988
Lethal Weapon 1989 series
Bugsy 1991
Sneakers (1992)
The Pelican Brief (1993)

The Name of the Rose 1986
etc.

All Quentin Tarantino Movies

I've got some of my favorite Tarantino movies shortly after The Forbidden Kingdom (the last one in the OP). Sort of tier 11, although I often enjoy those movies more than the ones in tier 10 around The Forbidden Kingdom but I've seen these movies lots of times already whereas the more modern movies like The Forbidden Kingdom I've only seen once. Hence they're higher in my binge-watchlist to watch a 2nd time. Continuing with:

The Forbidden Kingdom 2008
Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief (2010) ; Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013)
Ben-Hur 2016
Ender's Game 2013 (which I didn't like, so I should probably put it a lot lower come to think of it ; guess I wanted to give it another chance cause I somewhat rushed through it the last time)
Interstellar 2014
The Martian 2015
Into the Woods (2014)
I, Frankenstein 2014
Victor Frankenstein 2015
The Last Witch Hunter (2015)
San Andreas 2015
Arrival (II) (2016)
Spectral (2016)
Annihilation (2018)
Underwater 2020

Tier 11 (bolding Stephen King and Tarantino movies, and one that someone else mentioned in this thread):

Goodfellas (1990)
Mobsters 1991
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Hoffa 1992
Blood in, Blood out / Bound by Honor / Sangre por Sangre 1993
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Kiss Of Death 1995 (only seen once, the rest above and below many times unless otherwise specified)
The Langoliers 1995
Apollo 13 (1995)
Nick of Time 1995 (seen twice)
First Knight (1995)
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Space Truckers 1996
Gotti 1996 ; Gotti 2018
Donnie Brasco 1997
Hoodlum 1997
Sleepy Hollow 1999
Lansky (1999) (seen once)
Boss of Bosses 2001 (once)
Blade Runner (1982) ; Blade Runner 2049 2017 (rushed through the new one once, didn't like it very much, some nice eye candy here and there)
The Running Man (1987)
2001: A Space Odyssey 1968 ; 2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984)
Stargate (1994)
Twister 1996
The Rock 1996
The Arrival (1996)
Godzilla 1998
Armageddon 1998 (once)
Deep Impact 1998 (once)
Space Cowboys 2000 (once; sort of a set these 3)
Storm of the Century 1999
Hollow Man 2000 (twice and sometimes on TV, which usually means I miss a lot and fall asleep halfway through)
Cast Away 2000 (once online, many times on TV ; the movies below all "once" until the bolded ones)
We Were Soldiers 2002
Flags of Our Fathers (2006)
Letters from Iwo Jima (2006)
Red Tails (2012)
The Tuskegee Airmen (1995) (one of those old movies I've only seen once, also related to the movie above)
The Core 2003
The Day After Tomorrow 2004
Secret Window (2004) (twice)
Sin City (2005) ; Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)
Grindhouse (2007) (which is Death Proof and Planet Terror)
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) ; Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) (probably all 3, twice online and once or twice on TV)

Tarantino and Stephen King's movies are popular on TV over here, they show them a lot, so I tend to not put them too high in my online binge-watchlist. They hardly ever show Gettysburg 1993 or Wing Commander 1999, or...

Screamers (1995)
Escape from New York 1981 ; Escape from L.A. (1996)
Escape from Absolom / No Escape 1994
...
Soldier 1998
...
Joan of Arc 1999
...
Freejack (1992)
...
Andersonville 1996
...
Dark City (1998)
...
Treasure Island 1990
...
Nothing But Trouble 1991

To pick a few from the top of my list. What is that, top 200? Up to Treasure Island I've listed the entire top of my list now in the various commentary in this thread. So one can figure it out if one feels like it. I have 621 movies in my list now. And that's not even listing all the movies that I've seen.

Young Frankenstein

...

That movie reminds me of another one with the same actor I think, but I thought that one was in color. Also something having to do with brains, or talking brains, in a Frankenstein-like old stone house/castle. And maybe a woman with red hair. Also comedy. Could have been Steve Martin instead.

In no particular order (besides The Game ~ imo one of the cleanest, well-made movies of all time)

The Game
Get Out
Funny Games
The Rules of Attraction
Breakdown
City of Angels
A Bigger Splash
Gattaca
The Island
The Rock
Face Off
The Truman Show
The Cell
Synecdoche, New York
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Enter the Void
Mr Robot (series worth watching, no doubt)
The Square
Oxygen (very good newer one if you haven’t scoped it)
American Psycho
Fight Club (Tho kinda long)
Donnie Darko
Snowpiercer
Phoenix Forgotten
The Edge
Irreversible
Climax
Boyhood
Waking Life
Falling Down
Identity
Matrix I
Elysium
Free Solo (not a movie per se)
Bladerunner 2047
Terminator I
Kingsman I, II
Equilibrium
Heredity
It (Original)
Goodwill Hunting
Mrs Doubtfire
Ace Ventura
IP Man


Like another poster said, thanks for something besides polarizing politics and people choosing sides with all the narratives being spoon-fed to us 👌🏻

With that itching feeling of many other great movies hiding just around the corners of my mind (that many of you also assuredly feel) ~
Peace

Correction, that's 621 lines filled, the line filled with the Marvel series is 24 movies alone. So perhaps I'm up to 800-900 movies by now. I wonder how fast I'll be going through the list. As soon as I'm done with The Hateful Eight 2015 I can skip a few that are fairly recent or I've already watched and re-arranged downward in the list because I liked them less than I expected from a 2nd time or I just felt that I had put them a bit too high. I'll bold the ones I still plan on watching / 'need' to see to get through the list (anything more recent than 2017 is too recent to watch again for me, or that's what I've decided on after my latest re-arrangement, noticing I was skipping some movies here and there to get to the ones I felt like watching more at the time):

The Fisher King (1991).
Vanilla Sky (2001).

I have been wondering Whereislogic - did you figure out who killed Leonards wife in Memento?

And if you like Tarantino you might like:
True Romance (1993) it is a film written by Tarantino but I have found that most people have not heard of it.

a reply to: whereislogic

Holy smokes Batman!!

I did a ctrl-f of both page 1 and 2 and looked for "fear and.." and it didn't turn up anything so I'll just add:

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas

Well, it's been a while so I'm not sure I remember correctly, but what I do remember is the story about Sammy killing his wife by administering too much medicine because of not remembering already having given the medicine and his wife testing him to see if the memory loss was real (adjusting the clock every time). At some point in the movie the general gist is that Leonard is Sammy, so Leonard killed his wife. What I don't remember is if there was another twist at the end of the movie concerning that issue (pointing towards Teddy perhaps, who was supposedly 'helping' him find the killer; I do remember Teddy was lying about that (helping him) and at some point telling Leonard that Leonard was Sammy towards the end of the movie, but you can't exactly trust a liar like that so maybe there was another twist after that to indicate Teddy was lying about that as well).

Now that I think about it again, weren't their alternative versions with alternative endings of this movie?
