Wonder Boys proving very popular on this thread as the years have rolled by. wonder if it's just 'an ILX thing' or if this is evidence of a worldwide cult?

Zodiac is a great one. i think i once watched it four times over two days when stuck at home with the flu.
i think a lot of these for me tend to overlap with movies that TNT or Comedy Central tend to show over and over--but just the ones i like.
― ryan, Tuesday, 9 July 2013 17:35 (ten years ago) link
can totally relate to Zodiac.
