For me, it’s either the Matrix or Pulp Fiction. I have seen both a lot of times but certainly not more often than say a dozen times.

Chasing Amy

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

[–] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Lolol eager to hear how it goes!

[–] Crankpork 1 points 2 years ago

I watch The Thing and The Mummy at least once a year.

[–] obi_one@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

The Shawshank Redemption

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It's a toss up between Karate Kid, The Lost Boys, and Black Rain.

[–] cpressland@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Star Trek: First Contact

[–] PR_freak@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fight club and shutter island

I probably saw them both around 15/20 times

[–] redballooon@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yea, fight club is big for me too. Don’t know shutter island, will check it out.

[–] PR_freak@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Watcher@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

2012, Wolf of Wall Street and the back to the future trilogy

[–] TheBurlapBandit 1 points 2 years ago

Redline is my guilty pleasure movie. I watch it at least 3x a year to marvel at the animation.

[–] wcSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] NerdyOldGeek@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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).

[–] whysofurious 1 points 2 years ago

Strangely enough, the Underworld series. Ah and yes all the Back to the Future movies, I would rewatch them a thousand times more.

[–] dadasdair@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago

Alien, Aliens and Predator. The Big Lebowski and the John Wick films are gaining traction more recently.

[–] MrPoopyButthole@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

"Hot Rod", "Accepted", or "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

[–] quark@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

Star Trek: First Contact or Insurrection

[–] quaff@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

The Dark Knight.

[–] Prox@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] toffi@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

For me it's Casino. Easily my favorite movie.

[–] Fluba@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

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
[–] imkmiaw@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] KiofKi@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Spun

At least once a year this one is a must.

[–] lorez@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Back to the future.

[–] koncertejo@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Synecdoche@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Lost Horizon (Frank Capra) and Freaks (Tod Browning)

[–] counselwolf@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] atheos@lemmy.atheos.org 0 points 2 years ago

Beerfest, back to the future 1+2, the big lebowski are some of my repeat picks.

[–] MiracleManS@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Knecht@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago

"The thing" is always a great watch and worth coming back to.

[–] THB@lemmy.film 0 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sarahcanary@lemmy.one 0 points 2 years ago

Bring back Firefly!

[–] cpressland@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Star Trek: First Contact

[–] sparky678348@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

The Martin Freeman hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, easily. I watch that every year on my birthday

[–] lemminer@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] zdrvr@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

Hot Rod. I have seen it at least 25 times....Cool Beans
