Which movie have you watched the most?

[Salus]

Okay, here is another one of those famous (or infamous) movie threads.

What movie have you watched the most?

[Salus]

Top Gun - By far my most watched movie. I have it on tape and watch it anytime it is on regular tv or cable tv. I lost track (actually stopped counting) once I reached 100 viewings.

Braveheart - My second most watched movie. This one is hovering at 58 viewings. Again, I watch it on tape and try to catch it anytime it is on regular or cable tv.

[Captain Ochre]

Salus, over 100 viewing of "Top Gun"????
I'm impressed (though that movie's not in my personal top fifty).

I don't keep track of the numbers very well, but I've probably watched "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension" over twenty times. It has an all-star cast that delivers great performances, it's so fast-paced and varied that it leaves most people in the dust with the first viewing (including me), and it's got some priceless dialogue (which is a big key to enjoyment of repeated viewings, imo).
Honorable mentions (films I've watched at least 12 times):
"Better Off Dead" with John Cusack.
"Three O'Clock High" with Casey Siemascko (sp?)
"Drive Me Crazy" with Melissa Joan Hart

[Sozo]

The Adventures of Winnie The Pooh

[Em7add11]

Real Genius - I saw that movie so many times in high school. I think I watched it every day during lunch. It was always funny, even now I still love it.

[Das Gort]

Tommy Boy

I watched this movie so many times in highschool, that it will forever stain my "most watched" category.

Top Secret is a close second.

There was one stretch a couple of years ago when Top Gun was on the cable channel, TNT, every other night for a couple of months, or so it seemed. For some reason, I got stuck repeating the same thing every time it was on. It wasn't like I had never seen it before but I still could not tear myself away from it. I watched it two more times over the winter break from grad school a month ago.

[Pilgrim]

So I Married an Axe Murderer
Grosse Pointe Blank
Better of Dead
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Breakfast Club
Highlander

I couldn't tell you which one is on top right now but I've seen them all way too many times, as my wife would gladly testify to.

"Grosse Pointe Blank" is stinkin' excellent.

I'll be watching that one again and again. Only four times so far.

[Rubia Warren]

"Saturday Night Fever"- (I know, I know! It's cheesy. But John Travolta shakes it, so that makes it okay)

"Desperately Seeking Susan"- I don't know why, I just like it.

"Pee Wee's Big Adventure"- 3 times a day at my house.:bawl:

[Jade]

My daughter watches Monsters Inc nearly every day -- no exaggeration.

[GrayPilgrim]

The Great Escape

I have watched it a few hundred times easyily. In fact it was on tv last night so I watched it again. {Chicken Run was so much more enjoyable knowing it was a knock of it}

[yxboom]

Chicken Run......I have a 3 year old :hrm:

I can quote the entire movie to Chicken Run, Shrek and any Veggie Tales out there.

[dizzle]

Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail
Star Wars
Selena (that one is an accident- though it is a good movie)

What movie have you watched the most?

True Stories with David Byrne and John Goodman.

Is really a cool movie that you need to be in the right frame of mind to watch.

Oh if the name David Byrne sound familiar to you, you got it right - he was the lead of the old group called the Talking Heads. Also the movie was written for the album released by the Talking Heads that was called True Stories.

I would say now that Scooby Doo (not the cartoon) is a close second now! Why? Because I also have a 3 year old! And I too can quote that movie word for word!

[Solly]

Star Wars (the original).

I was first in the queue at our cinema when it opened, and in those days you could stay in between showings, so I saw it about 16 or 17 times.

If I had a TV and video, then the film I would most want to watch over and over again would by The Quiet man, with Wayne and O'Hara.

We must have a lot of dad's of three year old here. My favorite quote from that movie.

"No one has ever given me a dismembered head before."

[Ryokan]

Either Blade Runner, Tomb Stone, or The Maltese Falcon
Oh, and Condor Man in my youth(about 3)

[Piebald]

The Nightmare Before Christmas

when it first came out, I watched it six times in a row.

I plan on watching The Ring 12 times in a row when it comes out on March 4th

:smile:

[Alden]

So I married an axe murderer

Wayne's World

High Fidelity

Office Space

Fight Club

[graceinme]

The movie I watched more than any other, was The Blue Lagoon. I wanted to live on an uninhabited Island soooo bad. I also like The Swiss Family Robinson, for the same reason. The idea of not having any bills or problems outside of finding food is pretty cool.






:gim: Love Grace

[Epoetker]

Hamster: Do you plan on ever sleeping again? Just...so...creepy...and re-watching it does NOTHING to alleviate it!

Ahem.

The Three Musketeers. The Disney version, with Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu. MONEY.

[flipper]

Blade Runner

Architecture, acid rain and Sushi....

[Jaltus]

Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail

37 times and I do not own the movie.

UHF at least 20 times, though I lost count since my roomates in college kept playing it all the time.

Return of the Jedi also at elast 20 times.

Transformers: The Movie I know, but I LOVE the movie. Optimus Prime dying just RULES.

[Piebald]

Hamster: Do you plan on ever sleeping again? Just...so...creepy...and re-watching it does NOTHING to alleviate it!


Ha! You're right. Seeing the Ring for the first time really had some kind of bizarre profound effect on me. I could not sleep, and taking a shower alone was terrifying.

Especially the first week! Every little high pitched or unidentified noise set me off. By Day 7 (one week after I had seen the movie)
I had already experianced a week of nightmares and I actually had a Night Terror where Samara (the girl from the movie) appeared by my computer and then walked around my bed.

A Night terror is a waking nightmare, by the way.

Now that's what a scary movie should do to you.

And in 24 hours The Ring will be mine. Best birthday present _ever_.

[Epoetker]

The most notable thing I can say about The Ring is that it pretty much inured me against all the other "scary" movies that came out after it.

They?:zzz:

Darkness Falls?:lol:

[Piebald]

LOL@They

Double "LOL"@ Darkness Falls

It would have been nice if "They" had an actual ending. At least "Darkness Falls" was fun. I came out of the theater with a rather giggly feeling.

They was just so disappointing though. I mean, you really can't go wrong with boogie men. Yet somehow Wess Craven did.

In 24 hours I'll be watching the Ring DVD which supposedly has an 'extra' movie in it to explain more.. I can't wait to see all the deleted scenes and what not and get the stuffing scared out of me! :shy:

[Epoetker]

I heard that all Wes Craven did was lend his name. Nothing to do with directing, editing, maybe a BIT of the concept, but not much.

DF was more: "Are all the cops dead?" "Pretty much."
Or: You have a a car with two extra tanks of gasoline and you're in a forest with a ghost who hates light. Two words: CAMP.FIRE.
And: The entire town is blacked out. How the HECK does the elevator work?

The Ring DVD, I hear, will have all the R-rated stuff. It so should have been rated R in theatres. Allowing highly impressionable children to see it, after what it did to us supposedly responsible, cool, collected adults, is going to forever scar those young minds. :noid:

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

Monty Python and the Holy Grail -- 104 times

Second Place, at just under 30 times -- Rocky Horror Picture Show

Third Place would probably be either "Independence Day" or "Volcano"

I didn't really notice anything in it different from the theatrical release. I bought both the American and Japanese versions at Blockbuster the day they came out (Tuesday).

[Yog^sothoth]

When I worked at Blockbuster, my employees watched a Knights Tale and rewound it again and again and again and again, for the entire time I was there (about a year). So, i'd have to say that next to the star wars series that is my most watched. that, top gun and the episode "wild horses" of cowboy bebop.

[PRAISE]

In movie theatres-Disney's BEAUTY & THE BEAST! 22 times!

Praise:thumb:

[bar Jonah]

Cool thread!

I'd have to say my most-watched movie is definitely "Noises Off." A thoroughly underappreciated comedy! If you want to see why I've seen it so many times, rent it sometime. I will NEVER get tired of that one. I laugh my lungs out every single time, just as much as the first time! I've seen it close to 50 times.

Star Wars (Episode 4) is surely a close second, I think around 40 times or so.

Some honorable mentions include:

Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi
Memento
Se7en
Fight Club
Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are Dead

[LoveEndures]

Movies in order of most watched:

Big Trouble in Little China
Star Wars
Indiana Jones
The Empire Strikes Back
and Jurassic Park

[luv1another]

Forrest Gump in the adults range :)
and then lots of disney movies
probably little mermaid being number one
followed closely by the rest ..... I have three kids :)
two girls 4 and 11 and a boy 8

Love in Christ

[Sher]

Now that my "kid" is a teen (no more endless cartoon repeats), mine would be (in no particular order):

The Three Musketeers (Disney version)
The Man in the Iron Mask (3 Musketeers part 2)
Highlander (movie, series, anything related :yipee: )
Emma
Sense and Sensibility
First Knight
Sabrina (the remake with Harrison Ford)

Swords and Sap ... that's me :teeth:


Side note on the Ring ... have only seen it once, in the daylight :smile: When my hubby and I watched this on DVD, he took a potty break and I jumped up and grabbed my son's cell phone. I went to our home number in the cell's phone book, and held my finger over the "send" key (too long, my finger about fell off). After they showed the movie, I pressed send to make our home phone ring .... it was too funny! :lol:

[Jillyn'Toast]

The Princess Bride!! I watch it every chance I get...
Pee Wee's Big Adventure is a close second.

[Megane]

For me:

Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer - my favorite movie of all time. I have 3 copies of it: VHS, Region 1 DVD and the new region 2 release. Every line and scene memorized. :teeth:

and then...hmm..

Python and the Holy Grail..
End of Evangelion.

Cheers,
Megane

[Piebald]

Wahoo! Urusei Yatsura rocks! I haven't seen the movies though, but the series used to play every sunday on PBS. That was the craziest show I've ever seen! :-)

Cool! Another UY fan! :thumb:

Wow, I never knew that UY was shown on PBS. Was it shown subbed or was it the atrocious dub Animeigo briefly tried?

There have been 6 movies, all of them are really good, especially the first two.

Buy the DVDs!! The first movie should be out within a few months! :teeth:

[ih8censorship]

i like the movie kellys heros, and oh brother where art thou? which by the way has a very spiritual message if you watch it enough times so you get it .

[simchat_torah]

By far and away the movie that I've seen more than any other has to be The Usual Suspects.

I've also seen Life is Beautiful (subtitled, in Italian) more than any other of these below, but I've seen some others quite a number fo times as well:
Fight Club
Pulp Fiction
Resevoir Dogs
Gross Pointe Blank
Snatch
and... of course
Momento


"I know this because Tyler knows this..."


"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he didn't exist"

[NeilUnreal]

My all-time most-watched is Phantom of the Paradise, a rock-opera based on a loose combination of Faust, The Portrait of Dorian Grey, and The Phantom of the Opera. I've seen it 10 or 11 times -- I know most of the music by heart!

My favorite recent film is Pandaemonium, a heavily fictionalized biography of Samuel Taylor Coleridge -- particularly the writing of The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan (the greatest poem in the English language IMO). I think it brings the poet to life for modern viewers, even if it strays in accuracy.

-Neil

[Alden]

Highlander (movie, series, anything related )

Rock on! Do you have the soundtrack? If you don't, you should get it. It's good.

[DanielleJoy]

The Wizard of Oz hands down, I wore out at least three VHS tapes of it when I was a kid, and now I have the dvd :bunny:

[Dilton]

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome

best movie ever made,

I watch it at least twice every year.

[dawnghost]

Devil's Advocate, 9 times

alright
I am not a movie addict like you. sue me. :shifty:

[Piebald]

Now that I think of it, I have probably watched Beetlejuice, the Nightmare Before Christmas, and The Ring a billion times.

[Epoetker]

I'd only classify someone as "addicted" if they can give the recipe for "grog" according to the three pirates.

I prefer Sam and Max hit the Road.

I've bought every Monkey Island game on the day it was released, and haven't been dissapointed yet. I don't think Murray the talking demonic skull gets enough credit. Also, yes, Sam and Max is brilliant but I haven't been able to get the game to work with Windows XP!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGG.
