5 Movies You've Watched The Most Number of Times

[the night watchman]

These may not be your favorite flicks, but they're the ones that keep calling you back.

Here are mine (with estimated # of viewings):

1) "Aliens" (Cameron) - 45
2) "The Empire Strikes Back" (Kershner) - 30
3) "Star Wars" (Lucas) - 25
4) "Alien" (Scott) - 20
5) "The Thing" (Carpenter) - 15

[playgames]

This really gets tricky.people always make a fav list,but sometimes watch only a few more than once or twice.

the movies I watch all the time are:
1. Back to the future
2. Groundhog Day
3.A Boy and his Dog
4.Tommy Boy
5.Crossroads

[*veers*]

Not counting the Star Wars movies these are the films I've seen the most, I reckon. Most of them have had a head start from my childhood. A lot of them are comfort movies. (Like a blanket, but better) I couldn't even begin to guess how many times I've seen these. It must be well over 300 for Jaws.
1- Jaws (my Mother says I watched it every Sunday for, like, 5 years)
2-Blues Brothers (loved it as a kid, and hey, I still do)
3-Superman 2
4-True Romance
5-Highlander
6-Aliens
7-Taxi Driver

[Dr Martin Luther Loomis]

MorganOnyx,

Hey sorry, I haven't been here in a few days...I wasn't ignoring your questions.

Well, needless to say, I LOVED this movie! It's a very mellow, relaxing movie.

Yes, Sam Rockwell is in it, and I, personally, think that it was his best role. He was very natural...it honestly didn't seem like he was acting.

It's basically about an uptight, neurotic engineer named Al(John Turturro),who's pretty much having an emotional breakdown. After his job gets canceled, he decides to look for a lake from his childhood. Along the way, he runs into a young freespirit(Sam Rockwell), they spend some time together, and during this time, Al learns to lighten up a bit.

Well, I guess that crap description will do. That's pretty much the essence of the film. For a real description, just look it up on your search engine. I'd say go rent it, but I don't know if a lot of video stores carry it. I know none in my area have it. You can always grab a cheap copy off eBay.

[Tomb Raider]

1.Armageddon = 13
2.Saving Private Ryan = 6-7
3.Godzilla (US) = 7
4.Terminator 2 = 20
5.Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) = 10 (since bought watched every day.)

[Bart Simpson]

Well let's see:

1. A Christmas story- I know every line from that movie. It's great
2. Star Wars Trilogy- When I was younger I watched it every weekend for 2 years
3. My Cousin Vinny
4. GoodFellas-Do I amuse you?
5. Jurassic Park
When I was little I wore out my Goonies movie because I watched it so much

[!MorganOnyx!]

DR MARTIN LUTHER LOOMIS -

Thanx for that dude. I haven't been here for a while either. I asked about SAM ROCKWELL cos he's one of my FAVOURITE actors. Ever since i first saw him in CLOWNHOUSE about 7 years ago (which is my favourite movie of all time), i knew he had talent, so i followed his career after that, and i am so happy to see that he has finally been recognised, I KNEW HE WOULD. With movies like GALAXY QUEST, CHARLIE'S ANGELS and THE GREEN MILE, it looks like he's hitting the big time, and nobody deserves it more. I also thought he was very good in LAWN DOGS. BOX OF MOONLIGHT sounds cool - i'll try and grab a copy.

I'm not entirely sure but I'd guess they're the ones I've watched the most!

[TheFrost]

1) Most recently - Girlfight: I rented it and ended up watching it over and over I couldn't get enough of the film, I loved the film more than Michelle Rodriguez this time.

2) Pitch Black
3) Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn
4) The Fast and The Furious
5) The Blues Brothers http://www.joblo.com/ubb/cool.gif

[the movie guy]

I have seen...

Plains, Trains and Automobiles (10/10) (17 or 18 times)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (10/10) (10 or so times)
Mallrats (9/10) (8 times)
The Matrix (6/10); Home Alone (7/10) (when I was younger); Dumb and Dumber (9/10); Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (8/10); Liar, Liar (6/10); The Princess Bride (10/10) (7 times each)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (8/10) (5 times)
The Usual Suspects (10/10); While You Were Sleeping (8/10); Phenomenon (7/10); Michael (7/10); To Kill a Mockingbird (8/10) (4 times)
Pitch Black (7/10); Forrest Gump (8/10); L.A. Confidential (10/10); Gladiator (7/10); Fight Club (6/10); Saving Private Ryan (10/10); The Running Man (6/10); Kindergarten Cop (7/10); The Shawshank Redemption (10/10) (3 times)

I thought I'd put that in for kicks and, no, I didn't like it either, I was just able to see it twice for free in the theatres.) (4/10) (Each movie, among many many others, 2 times)

I'm sure I will think of others later, but my list is long anough as it is so I won't waste any more time on the topic. For the record, I don't really like watching movies more than twice, if even that. Doing so has made me hate the following movies (well, maybe not HATE, but I definately don't ever want to watch them again now)...

The Matrix; Liar, Liar; Gladiator; Fight Club; Ace Ventura: Pet Detective; The Godfather; To Kill a Mockingbird; Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone; The Green Mile, among others as well.

On the flipside, these movie will never get old (I hope)...

Plains, Trains and Automobiles; Who Framed Roger Rabbit?; Mallrats; Dumb and Dumber; The Princess Bride; Terminator 2: Judgment Day; The Usual Suspects; While You Were Sleeping; The Shawshank Redemption; Reservoir Dogs; Pulp Fiction; The Edge; Gattaca; The Terminator

[Grebdron]

There's too many. Man, when I find a movie I like I can watch it over and over and over and over and over and... well, you get the picture.

I've seen each of these at least 50 times.

Schindler's List
Saving Private Ryan
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Raising Arizona
The Princess Bride
Very Bad Things
Pulp Fiction
Jaws
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Fargo
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Gladiator
Braveheart(my family tree goes back to William Wallace)
To Kill a Mockingbird(read the book at least 50 times, also)


I'm sure there's more, but I'll quit now.

Yeah, I did the exact same thing. Then I went and bought the movie, and have watched it probably 80 times over the last year or so.

Haha, trust me, I feel your pain (if you didn't like this movie). I do truly love this movie though, and every time I watched it was by choice. Now, when a friend of mine became obsessed with The Air up There...well...that was a terrible year.
