Unquestionably Aliens. As a kid I recorded it to VHS from the TV and watched and watched and watched it.
I deliberately didn't watch it for around the last 10 years waiting on the 4K version to come out. Totally worth it.
Same for me. I used to watch it 20 minutes at a time while I did my boots and uniform every night. Probably watched it 100 times total in 3 years, in 20 minute chunks.
20+ years later I can still say pretty much all the dialog as the movie plays, which as my ex can attest is initially impressive and quickly becomes irritating. 😁
CarbonatedPastaSauce.....we are kindred spirits across the ether. I'd say I'm close to 100 watches overall too.
If you haven't seen the 4K version yet, treat yo'self. The extra detail in the guns, uniforms, clothes, models etc. absolutely blew my mind. You can really see Cameron's attention to detail.
When I was a kid we only had a handful of DVDs. And being the autist that I am, I never stopped enjoying watching them. I couldn't tell you for sure but it's probably either Ice Age, Finding Nemo, or Monsters Inc.
For those three movies, I can recite not just all the lines, but the intonation and timing of those lines.
Same boat here tbh. My three were The Matrix, the Dark Crystal, and weirdly Cats the musical.
Princess Bride on VHS taped from tv. 30x seems like a fair guess.
Difficult to say. I’ve never been one to fixate on a single film for long. The ones below are likely candidates for various reasons though. I must have seen each at least 6 times. Probably none of them more than a dozen though.
• The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
• Star Wars/A New Hope (1977)
• Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
• Mon Oncle (1958)
• The Ladykillers (1955)
• The Third Man (1949)Probably the first Naked Gun and I've lost count because I watched it quite a bit when younger.
Predator, lost count though
Since I've been using trakt.tv for a few years now: Clue (edit: with 23 logged viewings)
There are a few other movies that might be up there, but that I mostly watched repeatedly before I used trakt: Goonies, Jurassic Park, Tremors, Men in tights. All in the 10-15 range on trakt.
Then there's others that I watch on a yearly basis for a long time: Independence Day, Die Hard, Home Alone, A Christmas Story (+ do partial viewings count?) - 10 each on trakt.
And by sheer number of hours, the LOTR trilogy :) - 9 viewings per movie on trakt.
Month python and the holy grail
Waking Life. I tend to learn something new from it pretty much every time. It’s an incredibly dense movie talking about what it means to be alive and why we should value it. It was my introduction to a lot of Eastern philosophy.
Probably Die Hard, and Die Hard 2, as a Christmas tradition, over many years...
Probably... Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. How are you this afternoon? Aaalrighty then!
It's either Hot Shots or Airplane!. Sequels included. A close third will be the Harry Potter series or the Star Wars saga.
As a child (like 3-4) I would watch the same movie every day for months. I assume this is an autism thing. In other words, I've probably seen Space Jam over a hundred times. Other movies I've seen way too many times include Babe and Toy Story.
When I was younger, I must have watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs at least 50 times.
Nice try marketing agency won't get my tastes that easily
😂👍
I have seen The Matrix probably 1500 times. It is my go-to movie when I just can't sleep and need to put on something to distract my brain.
There was this summer with really bad weather when we watched Highlander almost every day. It inspired me to visit Scotland. After many many years I managed to do that and I even visited Glenfinnan so I wrote a postcard (yes, that occured many years ago ;)) back home saying: "I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal."
Probably Gremlins.
