Repeat viewings of Movies?

[Elf Witch]

I have a hoge collection of movies on VHS, Laser Disc, and DVD. I have lost count of the movies I have seen more than ten times.

So I will go with Star Wars because I know I saw it over ten times when it first came out on the big screen.

Close Rivals

Gone With The Wind
ET
The Last Crusade
Jumpin Jack Flash
The Mummy
Dante's Peak
Cat People 1940's version
Penny Serenade

I am sure there are a lot more I just can't think of them right now.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Star Wars: A New Hope, I think it was 14 times on the big screen.
Raiders of the Lost Arc: 11 times
Rocky Horror: 10 times Hey, mid-night movies were a thing

Mystery Science Theater: The Movie. I've probably seen it 50 times. The OT of Star Wars is probably the runner-up.

Demiurge out.

10 or more, no question. Heck, I saw Fellowship 5 times just in the theater.

As for most viewings ever, it's a toss-up between The Princess Bride and The Arrival, both in the 15-20 times neighborhood. The Princess Bride is one of my all-time favorite movies, and there's something about The Arrival that just makes it eminently re-watchable.

Singing In The Rain. I watched a VHS copy of that EVERY DAY for like, two months.

I've never understood people who only watch a good movie once; who say "I've already seen it" as if it can no longer entertain them. Same goes for books.

I can only assume these people change the radio station every time a song they've already heard comes on.

Princess Bride I have seen ...lots. A good movie I can watch again and again and again.....

 

[Dark Jezter]

Movies I've watched so many times I honestly couldn't give an estimate on how many times I've watched them over the years:

Star Wars original trilogy
Conan the Barbarian
Dumb & Dumber (My favorite comedy from the 1990s, still makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it)
The 13th Warrior (This movie wasn't a classic, but it was pretty awesome, and there's just something about it that makes it infinately rewatchable)
Office Space (like Dumb & Dumber, this movie still makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it, it's especially funny if you've ever worked in an office environment)
Indiana Jones trilogy
The Matrix (the first one, not the sequels)
Aliens
Goldfinger
Goldeneye
The Princess Bride
Ferris Bueller's Day Off


The Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Star Wars prequel trilogy are fast earning their way onto this list.

EDIT: Added the Princess Bride.

These days, I generally only ever watch a movie once. I used to be able to watch movies over and over, but now I'd rather spend two hours doing something new rather than watching something where I know what happens.

But I'm not typical. I don't watch TV at all nor do I own any movies, and once in a blue moon do I rent anything from Blockbuster (to watch on my computer).

Oh, and I don't listen to the radio either. I own about a dozen CDs spanning four artists. I listened to Garbage's latest, Bleed Like Me, on repeat all day at work today.

Probably 'Unforgiven' at the moment. Once 'Batman Begins' comes out, it will probably take over the 'most watched' title before it is out of the theaters.
