Because my Husband is obsessed with ganster movies evidently he has watched The Godfather films and Goodfellas like a zillions times, since I am in the same house, I have seen them a thousand times or so....or so it seems!


^My Son is a huge Star Wars fans, so I have seen them more times than I can count also.

I've watched 12 Angry Men many times and I always find something new I didn't notice before.

Silly Rabbit! It's a favorite because we have stopped counting!


Probably The Empire Strikes Back but also in the counting is Krasnaya palatka (that's The Red Tent to you capitalist exploiters!), Alien, The Spy Who Loved Me, Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden Gun, and For Your Eyes Only.


Plus, ST II: The Wrath of Khan. Now, note, with that flick, the original as shown at the theatres. The Director's cut with all the emotionalism is a disaster!.......which can probably be said about most DC's.

Every Halloween, I watch:

Halloween (the original)
Black Christmas
The Bird With the Crystal Plumage
Full Circle

Every Christmas:
Topper Returns (it's not a Christmas movie per se but movies like these are what I call "cozy" which fits the season.

I don't think I've seen any movie more than 3-4 times. My favorite movies are Sully, Fargo, the Bohemian Rhapsody. If there's nothing else to watch on a flight, I usually end up watching the Devil Wears Prada (they always seem to have it).

Ushers in movie theatres during the late 1960s/early 1970s probably saw more movies repeatedly than just about anyone. During my brief stint as one I found myself able to recite entire dialogs. I can only imagine an usher who had to watch "E.T." for the length of a run of a year or more at a theatre.

I've seen "Stunt Man" well over a hundred times. The Jungian implications and the performances were entrancing to me. "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is probably a close second. By now, both are so entrenched in memory that watching is no longer as interesting.

Some movies are designed to be seen multiple times, a few actually pull that off. Most are a one-time run through the plot and done.

That's funny. Very few movies actually have a plot any more.

It is probably "Bringing Up Baby" or "Gone With The Wind". I love classic movies and definitely have my favorites.
