> [@blondebear](#): > > I think it has to be _Sideways_. I like the movie a lot, but I love the commentary track with Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church. I wish they would make another movie together just so I could listen to another commentary track featuring their humorous repartee. Absolutely. The film itself is OK, but the commentary is fabulous. ---

> [@JohnGalt](#): > > The Wizard of Oz - every year when growing up… Wow, remember when your only hope of seeing a movie after it left the theater was the slim chance it’d get shown chopped-up on TV (in B&W back in MY day… then came early color TVs, but they were mostly magenta and green, so, B&W). But it was random luck that you’d pick up a TV Guide (a little book that had been mailed to your door) and exclaim “Hey, _The Great Escape_’s going to be on after Kukla, Fran and Ollie! Can we watch it, mom?” The one exception I recall was _The Wizard of Oz_. Once a year like clockwork… anyone know why? By the way, my record for full price in the theater was _Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid._ But only because I sucked at dating in high school. A bunch of us and our girlfriends couldn’t think of anything else to do on a Saturday night so we opened the newspaper and that was the only movie we could all agree on, so we’d go see it. Again. (My girlfriend at the time married my best friend, and I often have lunch with them… one of these times, I should apologize for having been so uninventive…) ---

I lost count of how many times I’d seen the original _Star Wars_ years ago – my count for it, and _The Empire Strikes Back_, is undoubtedly well over 100 each now. _Return of the Jedi_ is a little lower, but it might be close to 100, as well. A few other movies that I know I’ve seen at least 20 times: - The Lord of the Rings trilogy - The Blues Brothers - The Mummy (the Brendon Fraser version) - The Princess Bride - Monty Python and the Holy Grail - A Christmas Story ---

Probably _Wizard of Oz_. When my nephew was just a little kid, he would watch that over and over when he was at the house (pretty often), but was afraid of the Wicked Witch, so my parents made me watch it with him. I watch _The Great Escape, Blazing Saddles, Kelly’s Hero’s, The Blues Brothers, Office Space_ and a few others whenever I happen across them. That’s a whole lotta time wasted, right there! ---

_ **Some Like It Hot.** _ My mother dragged me along with her to see this when it first came out (1959).\* I was four years old, and got incredibly turned on watching Marilyn Monroe sing “I Wanna Be Loved by You.” A year later, she did the same thing when \*\*\*Psycho \*\*\*came out. For years, the only thing I remembered about that movie was Janet Leigh parading around in her underwear. I didn’t find out what film I had seen until I caught it on television in 1984! \*She hated going to movies alone. When someone told her she shouldn’t be taking a little kid like me to see such fare, she said “Oh, he doesn’t know what he’s looking at.” Believe me, I knew! :o [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-movie-have-you-seen-the-most-times/815878.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-movie-have-you-seen-the-most-times/815878.md?page=4)
