First time I rented it out on VHS (yeah!) I watched it three times in a row and sill rewatch it every few years.
Hilarious and deep, I learned a lot from wat hing that movie.
So there's several high caliber films I've seen a bunch, like Pulp Fiction, Memento, etc.. but I think the actual movie I've seen the most times is The Room.
For the uninitiated, The Room is the worst movie of all time. Tommy Wiseau wrote, produced, directed, and starred in this disasterpiece. It's so bad, they made a movie about the book about the making of The Room. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion for 90 minutes.
I've been responsible for many people's first viewings, which means I've seen it far, far more than I should. I almost got to meet Tommy and Greg (plays Tommy's best friend in film) at a screening but icy ass rain made the trek too dangerous.
I'd say it's a must see for anyone who enjoys film. Every other movie will feel better after comparing it to this flaming bag of garbage. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll say "wtf" at least 7 times.
You just convinced me to watch it, so either thank you or fuck you lmao I'll keep you posted
Lolol eager to hear how it goes!
I watch The Thing and The Mummy at least once a year.
The Shawshank Redemption
It's a toss up between Karate Kid, The Lost Boys, and Black Rain.
Star Trek: First Contact
Fight club and shutter island
I probably saw them both around 15/20 times
Yea, fight club is big for me too. Donβt know shutter island, will check it out.
You definitely should. Especially if you like the brainfuck genre
Also make sure you stay focused for the whole movie or you might lose some important details! Enjoy
2012, Wolf of Wall Street and the back to the future trilogy
Redline is my guilty pleasure movie. I watch it at least 3x a year to marvel at the animation.
There's a few for me but I'm going to go with A Knight's Tale and The Other Guys. Can't get enough of those 2
I have not thought about this before but thinking back I guess the movie I have re-watched the most is Contact. I don't know why I just like it. I really don't re-watch movies that much. I do re-watch TV series quite often (HACF is the most re-watched).
Strangely enough, the Underworld series. Ah and yes all the Back to the Future movies, I would rewatch them a thousand times more.
Alien, Aliens and Predator. The Big Lebowski and the John Wick films are gaining traction more recently.
"Hot Rod", "Accepted", or "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
Star Trek: First Contact or Insurrection
The Dark Knight.
I used to fall asleep watching Twister on VHS. Something about the substandard quality and tracking sound really sealed the deal when I needed to catch some Zzz's.
I watched it so many times that I wore out the tape.
For me it's Casino. Easily my favorite movie.
As a kid, my top ones:
- The Sandlot
- The Mighty Ducks
- Rookie of the Year
- Hook
As an adult:
- Superbad
- I Love You, Man
- Pineapple Express
- Almost Famous
Just one, Interstellar. I don't watch a lot of movies but that one just hits different, I've watched it 7 times, could watch it again.
I saw Matrix 2-3 times when I was a kid, but no more than that.
Back to the future.
Your Name (Kimi no Na wa). I've seen it at least a dozen times; it's always incredibly emotionally impactful every time. Really beautiful movie.
Lost Horizon (Frank Capra) and Freaks (Tod Browning)
When I was younger, I rewatched Inception plenty of times because it was my favourite movie and because I keep seeing new details, learning new little things about the movie every time.
Beerfest, back to the future 1+2, the big lebowski are some of my repeat picks.
Jurassic Park. The practical effects still hold up well and even the CGI is still passable.
Plus it's my favorite movie of all time.
"The thing" is always a great watch and worth coming back to.
Raiders of the Lost Ark, Mad Max: Fury Road, A Knight's Tale, Tokyo Godfathers, Life Aquatic.
I've seen them all at least 5-10 times fully and probably more times partially. It's definitely a wide spectrum, and one of them is not what you would call a "good" movie compared to the others. I'll let you decide which, but I'm hella not ashamed.
By my own accord? Probably Back to the Future 2/3, or Serenity. But my partner and step-son spent 6 months last year watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy over and over again, so those are the ones I've probably actually seen the most number of times.
Bring back Firefly!
Star Trek: First Contact
The Martin Freeman hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, easily. I watch that every year on my birthday
These are the movies on the top of my head I've watched more than 20 times.
- Batman: Dark knight
- Orange clockwork, Eyes wide shut, Dr. Strangelove
- Before sunrise and before sunset. Third one is kinda cringe.
- Shawshank Redemption
Possibly the first Pirates of the Caribbean. Dunno exactly how many times I've watched, but it's close to 10. It's such an iconic movie, with excellent scenarios, acting, and so revolutionary at the time.
I've watched some older Pixar movies (from their golden age imo) a bunch of times, like Monsters Inc and Nemo, as well as the masterpiece Shrek 2 from DreamWorks.
Hot Rod. I have seen it at least 25 times....Cool Beans
