That is one if the few movies I've watched twice and still long to see again.
I don't know if you're talking about the Branagh/Thompson or the Denisof/Acker, but either way, yes.

The new erato

Branagh/Thompson , and it should be thrice, not twice.

Christmas Vacation, to get in the holiday mood.  It had been quite a few years since I saw the whole thing.  Randy Quaid is just awesome.

If Michael Keaton's godawful Dogberry could be replaced by Nathan Fillion's inspired performance in the new version, that film would be perfect.

Christmas Vacation is one of my favorite comedies of all time. Yes, good ol' Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) helped make this movie.

He is a divider of opinion, there!  I do like him.  Heck, I don't even mind Keanu Reeves too much, and a line or two of his are positively stilted  ;)

Going to watch this tonight as it's been several years since I've seen it, but this time on Blu Ray on a 55" Samsung LED television:

I got one of those for my birthday this year great tv for me! I love superhero movies, but for some reason the X men never clicked. LOVED the Avengers this year.

Getting ready to check out Fargo for the second time. There's something so sweet about Frances' performance, no wonder she won the Oscar.

I like Keanu in that film, because his character strikes me as really being just this wooden emotionless jerk, and Keanu... well, let's be honest, he's perfect at that. Whereas Dogberry - Michael Keaton conceives him as being very sadistic and mean-spirited; I preferred Fillion's version, where he's just sort of a cheerful idiot.

I'm not 'jump up and down' giddy for superhero movies, but I thought all of the X-Men, Spider-Man (Toby McGuire not this new dude), The Dark Knight Trilogy (Christian Bale), and Iron Man were very well-done. X-Men is a tricky comic to get right for film, but, IMHO, Bryan Singer did wonders with the series.

BTW, I loved Fargo. Great film.

Keaton is actually first rate at presenting Dogberry in that fashion; I hate the result but admire the process that produced it.

I had forgotten that Reeves was in that film, which I suppose shows how little impact he had on me.

Speaking of KR, he seems to be the star of a new film about the 47 Ronin (title, imaginatively, 47 Ronin), which is apparently bad enough that's it not being pre-released to critics.

Thought this was just Ok the first time, loved it the second and the third time around was somewhere in between. Bill Murray played the asshole perfectly.

Overall I probably like the new Acker/Denisof much ado slightly less, but Nathan Fillion as Dogberry is a total joy.

Some of the worst video quality possible, but...

My heart always soars when I hear Emma Thompson deliver the line, O God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the market-place.
