Rocky Horror for me, about 70 times.
I watched The Stoned Age every night for a solid year, and several times before and after that. I’d say I’ve seen it a good 250-275 times (I vacation a lot so I didn’t watch it every night for a year.)
I’ve seen The Matrix around 20-25 times.
I’ve seen every Kevin Smith movie at least five times, with JSBSB at around 5 and Mallrats probably damn close to 50.
My girlfriend watches the Wedding Singer every night. She has worn out several VHS copies and a few VCRs in this practice. By my calculations she has probably seen it around 1,400 times. She usually falls asleep before it’s over though, does that still count?
Renting a movie for 3-5 days and watching it at least once a day while I had it used to be Standard Operating Procedure for me but for some reason I can’t do it anymore.
I saw Spiderman in the theatre and it was immediately one of my favorite movies of all time but I haven’t seen it since then. I’ll probably pick it up on DVD eventually but I know I’ll just watch it the night I get it and then throw it on the shelf with all my other DVDs never to be watched again.
I saw FotR 4 times and TTT twice and loved them but now I don’t care to see either one of them again for a loooong time. Probably until 2005 when I can sit down and watch the entire trilogy on DVD.
Oh, and anyone that has seen 3000 Miles to Graceland more than once is one sick, twisted individual.

I’ve seen Clueless about 50 times…It became tradition to watch it once a month, plus any days i was sick off school and whenever i couldnt decide what to watch. Okay I’m lying…More like 80 times.
In a small time period, I saw The Two Towers three times in a week at the movies, and Dancer in the Dark 3 times in two weeks.
Ten things is on the 20 times scale
Moulin Rouge is about 10
The Dirty Harry, Pulp Fiction group draws me back again and again. I’ve probably watched The Taking of Pelham 123 an equal number of times. Add in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Also Marathon Man. Hell-I’m a classic movie junkie.
I just saw Memento for the first time on DVD.
And when I backed up to watch a scene again, I couldn’t tell! :eek:
I beg to differ.
I saw it eleven times.
In one week.
Prithee, I jest not.
I’ve seen “The rock” ( About Alcatras[sp?]), with Nick Cage, countless times. The film is high action and suspense. A must see, its the anti-chick flick.
I have said this line outloud, and still cannot get my head wrapped around it. I will apologize in advance for being a fool, but can someone explain this one?
Star Wars - after the 57th time, I stopped counting.
Ferris Bueller - at least 21 times
Blazin’ Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Lion in Winter (love that movie!), Singing in the Rain, Brigadoon, Planet of the Apes…all ditto the above
Donnie Darko - 4 times last week. Soundtrack - constantly for the past 2 weeks
Gone With The Wind - probably 12-20 times
Disney’s Winnie the Pooh - on continous loop from 1983 - 1988. The kiddies just couldn’t get enough of the silly ol’bear.
The stuff before or after the comma? “As a slight tangent” means “to this border of being off topic, but not quite off topic.” Such as saying something that happened to a friend of yours, or your mom’s opinion of the thread.
“My father-in-law’s husband” means the father-in-law is homosexual and married to that effect.
:: points upward:: I meant no offense or wise-assing in any of that. Please believe me in that.
Ok, I thought that was what it meant, but as it was late and I had not slept in the past 24 hours I thought maybe it was one of those “my sister’s grandmothers aunt’s 2nd cousin” things. Just wanted to clarify. Thanks Buckleberry.
The Jerk - When I moved out of state to go to college, I took my VCR. A few weeks later, my dad calls to ask me to check the VCR for a movie, and sure enough, The Jerk was in there. Late fees had passed the cost of the movie, so my dad told me to keep it. Student budget allwed for little extra money, so we watched The Jerk. We watched it again and again and again. I could do almost the whole thing verbatim at one point.
I still love that movie.
my Uncle owned a 2nd run movie house and one summer my cousin & I watched “True Grit” over and over and could act out big chunks of it. probably saw others over and over there, but don’t remember 'em.
Have seen LOTR: Two Towers 4 times at the theatre; have lost track on FOTR on tape.
have seen Titanic a zillion times (it seems) with my daughter; once in the theatre would have been enough. On the other hand, I’ve probably watched “A Night at the Opera” 20 times with her, and that’s ok.
There’s only five or six movies I can think up off the top of my head that I have seen more than a dozen times:
National Lampoon’s Vacation
The Breakfast Club
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Toy Story (I watch it with my cousin)
Grease
and possibly Sleepless in Seattle–my mom loves that movie
This doesn’t include the movies I watched as a little kid or the holiday favorites: “The Quiet Man” for St Patrick’s Day, “The Wizard of Oz” for Thanksgiving, and “A Christmas Story”.
There was a point in my life where I watched An American Werewolf in London an average of four times a week, probably for the better part of a year.
To this day, I have no idea why.
(In fact, I haven’t seen the whole movie that many times-- I always took advantage of the “Nazi monster nightmare” scene to get up and make a sandwich, or something. So I’ve maybe seen that particular scene twice.)
I’ve completely lost count of the number of times I’ve seen it, but let’s just say I own four copies of Army of Darkness on VHS ALONE!!!
I’ve also been through some time without television (well, owning a t.v., but getting no reception), so in order to have some noise on, I would play a movie. Even now, if nothing good is on, I’ll pop one of these in just to have something on, so I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the following films at least 50 times:
Dirty Work
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Lake Placid
Deep Blue Sea
South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
Apocalypse Now - 30 times or so
Blues Brothers - around 20
Brazil - 15 to 20
The Dirty Dozen - 15 to 20
Duck Soup - 15 to 20
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - 10 at least
The Long Riders - 15 to 20
The Princess Bride - 15 to 20
The Rocky Horror Picture Show - 20+
The Thing - 20+
Wizard of Oz - 20+
Happily watch any one of them again tonight
I opened this thread just to read about the movies others have watched and enjoyed; I had no intent of posting. I have seen many of the movies listed and seen many of them multiple times. No one that I can see has listed one of my favorites… “The Man From Snowy River”. This is the first of very few movies I ever purchased. A great movie with one especially good scene…
In the mountains, Jim has rescued Jessica after her horse has thrown her in the middle of a violent storm. Her horse is killed and she must ride with Jim to safety. They stop to rest the horse and look out at the glorious mountain vista before them…
Jessica: “It’s so beautiful! One minute it’s paradise… and the next… it’s trying to kill you.”
Jim: “The mountains can be like that. You have to treat the mountains… like a high spirited horse… never take them for granted.”
Jessica: “It’s the same with people too.”
The music swells as they kiss… the kissing scene is then overlaid with the scene of them on a galloping horse riding along the edge of the huge mountain. (hummmmm… wonder if the wife is up for some makin’ out?)
Before I started working at a video store, I had seen Aliens, Terminator, Back to the Future, and Strange Brew probably 50 times each, and Cheech and Chong Up in Smoke maybe 100 (I watched it stoned every night for several moths). Since I started at the Video Store, at which I worked for 6 years, I saw Casablanca, Groundhog Day, A Christmas Story, Big Trouble in Little China, Stuart Saves His Family, Annie Hall, all 3 Star Wars movies, Ghostbusters, Citizen Kane, 2001, Cool Hand Luke, Bob Marley Live, and surely others, from 50 to 100 times each. I loved watching familiar movies at work - it made the days fly by sometimes…
