What movie did you rewatch most often?
What movie did you rewatch most often?
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.
5th element
It's just endlessly quotable, on top of being an absolute delight to watch! I still sneak in a few phrases from the movie in daily life, such as "negative, I am a meat popsicle" and "Aziz, light!"
Literally those two phrases at least once a month lol
Supergreen.
My favorite movie
Multipass
Korben Dallas Multipass
I can’t not rewatch Hot Fuzz whenever it’s on telly
Shaun of the dead
"You've got red on you."
Came here looking for this! I knew I couldn't be the only fan of the Winchester. I first saw the movie playing at my neighbor dive bar, which was bunker like, and yep, could definitely get with the plan of holing up there until this all blew over.
All the scenes are great and hilarious no matter how many times I see this movie.
Fun fact: Have you seen Spaced? The old friend he comes across leading the group through the back fences is a character from a prior show they were both in together.
You're all wrong. It's Groundhog Day.
Finally! We need to move this correct answer up!
“What would you do if every day was the same and nothing you did mattered?” “That about sums up my life”
I’m sure I misquoted there but such a wonderful movie.
Chance of departure...
Oh that’s such a meta answer.
The Princess Bride is definitely up there for me. I don't usually rewatch movies, but this is one that I'll always be glad to sit through again and again.
Just rewatched this with my wife the other day, such a good movie!
Same, I'm generally not a fan of seeing movies I've already seen, but Princess Bride, along with Moonrise Kingdom, are exceptions.
Without a doubt "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
It's only a model.
Somehow I stopped watching movies a few years ago, which kind of annoys me but we can't find time that much for a long movie. Of course binge watching TV series is another thing...
For me, the three rewatchables were:
- Stanley Kubrick: Barry Lyndon - If you're into cinematography and ultra techy perfection, this is the movie. And the main character is such an asshole.
- Celine Sciamma: Portrait of a Lady on Fire - This beautiful piece hits hard. Celine has an eye for women, and the story how the ladies take care of their own business since the beginning of time is really captivating.
- Pedro Almodóvar: All About My Mother - A queer classic. I really like the old Almodóvar telenovelas on acid, but this mid-career masterpiece has everything: the cinematography, the crazy characters and the melodrama.
How could I forget these
- Hayao Miyazaki: Kiki's Delivery Service - the perfect movie for a sick day. A guaranteed good mood after.
- Hayao Miyazaki: My Neighbor Totoro - the kids are some of the best kid characters in any movie ever.
- Hayao Miyazaki: Spirited Away - cold shiver moments like the train on top of the flooding water.
- Hayao Miyazaki: Princess Mononoke - how we can finally maybe agree even when we disagree.
That mid-Almodovar peak was incredible, now that you mention it. My personal favorite from that time has to be Habla Con Ella (Talk To Her), in parallel Woody Allen filmography terms I would equate it with Hannah & Her Sisters, in artistic achievement.
Barry Lyndon is currently a rising "underrated masterpiece" topic with most of the best film critic podcasters. My personal favorite film has nearly always been 2001: A Space Odyssey, but I just recently rewatched Barry Lyndon and man... in any other filmography this would have stood alone at the top.
And we still have the rest of Kubrick's work to contend with... Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, Paths Of Glory, Eyes Wide Shut... it's just ridiculous.For a long time now, I've regarded two people as my artistic heroes of the 20th century: Stanley Kubrick and John Coltrane. Mark Rothko could be up there, too, I cannot imagine my day-to-day life without his work to stop and look at, or to simply have as a presence in my surroundings.
Do you have some good podcast recommendations on Barry Lyndon? I really like the movie. For people who are reading this and thinking Barry Lyndon is some kind of super boring and high-minded art movie, just watch it. If you appreciate photography, pictures in general, the movie is done really well. It's like watching live paintings from that era, nothing else looks like that movie.
Edit: And what is fascinating with Barry, is how the actor Leon Vitali who did Lord Bullingdon in the movie, just abandoned his acting career and started working as an assistant for Kubrick until his death in 2022.
Back to the Future. It has been my "watch when I'm sick at home" go-to since I was 12.
Peter Jackson's lord of the rings trilogy extended edition. I bought a 4k tv and bluray player just for the 4k release last summer I think it was. (not the shitty hobbit)
We do an extended edition marathon at least twice a year, sometimes more if it's been a tough time. Last time we watched them was the week before getting married, to distract me from my stress.
I'm currently rereading the books and once that's done we'll do our first marathon as marrieds! 😄
I simultaneously hate to think, and also am very proud, of how many times we must have seen them by now.
Starship troopers!
I'm doing my part!
Want to know more?
Super Troopers for me!
Literally Groundhog Day, it's one of my favourites and about 20 years ago I started a tradition of always watching it every Feb 2nd, and so I've watched it 20 times plus maybe half a dozen times before then.
The Matrix and Terminator 1 and 2
The Matrix is a classic for me too.
Hackers and Grosse Pointe Blank. Watched it almost every night to go to bed for years on VHS.
Hackers is a great choice, it's so cheesy but it just draws you in and completely suspends your beliefs. Every character is likeable and the lines are so well delivered, man now I got to rewatch it. Terminator 2, hackers, and Pokemon 1st gen probably made more SDEs than any stem outreach program.
Grosse Point Blank is not my favourite film of all time. But it's the only one I've ever been able to honestly give a perfect 10/10 score.
The story, the cast, the script, the pacing, obviously the soundtrack, there is just not a single flaw I can find.
Isn't Grosse Pointe Blank from around '98 or '99?
That's when VHS was on its' very last legs. I think my first DVD player was from around 2001, by that time the graph line of DVD rising and VHS falling had already intersected, and this was in Mexico, I'm not sure when other parts of the world made the transition, say in the US, Europe or Japan it happened earlier.
The original Star Wars trilogy on VHS
I watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on VHS so much, it wore out the tape.
Clue got me through many a programming project.
Interstellar. I watched it like 4 times.
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.On Facebook I collect posts like this as a demonstration of how seemingly harmless questions are the answers to security questions. This one is basically code for "What is your favorite movie."
Next up “what’s your favorite mother’s maiden name?”
ALottaPussy
It's because of those Facebook surveys I never choose those questions.
Twister The Thing Clueless Lost In Translation Jurassic Park The Edge You’ve Got Mail The Trip Galaxy Quest Scott Pilgrim The Truman Show 28 Days A Fish Called Wanda True Lies Sphere any Alien movie Practical Magic Amelie Best In Show The Shining Gone Girl Kiki’s Delivery Service The Ninth Gate Sideways Cold Comfort Farm Napoleon Dynamite Starship Troopers Contagion The Mummy Die Hard With A Vengeance Entrapment Midnight In Paris The Fifth Element Zoolander
They’re not all “good” movies, but something keeps me coming back.
I was a stoner teen, napoleon dynamite was hilarious so I watched it so many times.
Is Contagion that one, where Matt Damon has the disease but lives? I watched some disease movie last year and that's the only thing I remember. Also shout out for Ninth Gate. Rarely see that one mentioned. Overall we have a very similar taste.
How to train your dragon and Scott Pilgrim VS the world. The first was a great date movie with incredible score and the second I just love that film so much and wanted to show everyone I knew who hadn't watched it.
The Martin Freeman hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, easily. I watch that every year on my birthday
Over my entire life, Spaceballs.
It's my comfort movie. I saw it when it came out on VHS back in the day, and it just killed me. Still does, particularly Candy's bits. I fucking miss that guy.
As an adult, as lame as it may seem, it's a tie between the first Avengers movie and Fight Club.
12345
That's amazing, I have the same combination for my luggage!
Home alone and or die hard, We watch them every Christmas.
Howl's Moving Castle. I had an obsession with it at the time.
The Thing,
Naked Lunch,
Evil Dead 1 & 2,
The Big Lebowski,
Videodrome,
Alien,
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,
For a Few Dollars More,
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,
Lost Highway & Mulholland Drive,
The Fountain, Pi, The Holy Mountain, El Topo, Princess Mononoke, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Big Trouble in Little China, The Wicker Man (the og)
And I probably watched Donnie Darko and Ichi the Killer enough times as a teen that they both reach the top
God I watch a lot of movies still.
e:typo, not Donnie Dario
Wow, that's an eclectic mix of rewatches! I'm with you on Alien.
Lol, haha, I never thought about that. I used to watch a shit-ton of movies as a teen. Got into horror movies, David Lynch and weird stuff early on so I kind of dove into the deep end very early and with no social life there was a lot of time to watch a lot of stuff.
I seem to be having a phase where I don't really watch movies that much (series more than ever), but when I do it's usually kind of "comfort food" so I'm mostly watching all-time favorites over and over again.
We have strangely similar taste, I've seen all these movies, and they're all amazing
Moviebros/siblings/something! Yeah!
Hot Rod. I have seen it at least 25 times....Cool Beans
Hey Denise. I was just doing.... This.
Mean Girls - this is my absolute comfort movie. Elf is mandatory watch every Christmas and I never get bored of it.
Movies I'll always sit down and watch if I see them on TV that I've not seen mentioned yet:
- Breakfast Club
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
- Time Bandits
- 12 Monkeys
- Muppet Treasure Island
I don't rewatch movies often, but in order of most rewatched: Gattaca, Sicario, Drive, Pulp fiction, Hamilton, Les Mis, China Town, 21/22 jump street, other guys, step brothers, the nice guy, the princess bride..
I give you an upvote just because you say you don't rewatch movies often, but then proceed to list your top 12 movies ordered by most rewatched :D Brilliant!
Lol fair
Giving you that sweet upvote for mentioning Gattacca. I don't usually rewatch movies, but I've seen that one 5 or 10 times. Second on my list is The Princess Bride, but even that is at most 5 times, mostly introducing it to my kids or friends.
OMG I added princess bride, I've seen it at least 10+ times. I also added a bunch of comedies. It's funny how many movies I've rewatched over and over but so many I have only seen once and will never rewatch.
Not a movie but Band of Brothers is on top of the annual revisit list for the past 15 years
Closely followed by 5th Element & Starship Troopers
"The thing" is always a great watch and worth coming back to.
You know... I've never really thought about it that way, but my three favorites may be the same most watched.
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Empire Strikes Back
Miller's CrossingSometimes I'll watch Miller's Crossing with English subtitles/captions, just to take in all that insane and masterful dialogue, it truly is as if William Shakespeare had written a 1920s mob tragicomedy.
Interstellar
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!
Back to the future is my jam. 1 2 or 3.
Same, I watched one of them at least once a week for months when I was a kid. I'm sure my family got sick of them after while.
Just Because I didn't see it mentioned:
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly and Tombstone
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.
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.
+1 for Mad Max: Fury Road. It's such a great movie! I've put it on multiple times thinking I just want to re-watch one scene and it just sucks me in.
Fifth Element, Snatch, Galaxy Quest, Predator, Commando, Hot Fuzz.
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.
because I keep seeing new details, learning new little things about the movie every time
Try Memento it you're in to that
I've watched it already, and I did like it.
Shawshank Redemption
When I was a kid, Mrs. Doubtfire and The Santa Clause. I don't rewatch movies as often as an adult.
I Love You Man, my comfort movie and one I never get sick of or fails to pick me up
The Bourne series. That shit was awesome!
I agree, but 1st one would be preferred choice for me.
Second by far. Just felt so hard hitting and Greengrass is a genius.
I'm not much of an anime person (and maybe this movie gives that away), but Spirited Away is so magical. Just everything about it is so detailed, I'm entranced every time.
Where is the line between anime and just Japanese cartoons? Is there a difference, or are they interchangeable. I'm not an anime guy either, but Hayao Miyazaki's films are magical. Have you watched My Neighbor Totoro yet?
I don't think anyone would say that any Japanese cartoons is not "anime" considering it literally just means animation. A Japanese person would of course refer to western animations as "anime" all the same.
But outside of Japan, there's kind of a hipster group of anime nerds who gatekeep what constitutes "real anime"; and the massively successful, easy to appreciate, Disney published, mainstream anime that are the Hayao Miyazaki films are typically not included. I think most of them would say that Miyazaki films are great, but if you only like Miyazaki, you don't like anime.
And I would agree with them. IMO the vast majority of anime are very poorly written cash grabs. The best ones are only good relative to other anime. But Miyazaki anime are up there with the greatest animated films of all time.
And yes, I've seen My Neighbor Totoro :)
Fight Club or The Martian
They are in the same category to you?
Definitely not, but they are ones I often rewatch
Terminator 2. Dozens of times, multiple formats. Never gets old!
Ghostbusters - have no idea how many times I've watched it, but it never disappoints.
While you were sleeping, I was so much in love with Sandra Bullock! 😀
Fight club and shutter island
I probably saw them both around 15/20 times
Yea, fight club is big for me too. Don’t 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
Ah yes Shutter Island! I love that kind of movies!
John Carpenter's The Thing Must've seen it a dosen times by now. Secondly I think I could watch no country for old men on repeat without being bored of it
The Boondock Saints or The Matrix for me, both way over a dozen times.
So many good lines/references in Boondock Saints between the rope, the cat, and Willem Dafoe. Fantastic movie, sequels were kinda of meh.
The Shawshank Redemption
I have kids so I have to rewatch a lot of movies against my will. I think we’ve watched boss baby 2 nearly every day since Memorial Day.
I was thinking of various movies that constantly run on TV, but your comment made me realize that Cars or Polar Express is probably the correct answer. My son was obsessed with those movies when he was young and we had them on constant rotation.
Harry Potter!
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).
I watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie so many times as a kid I can still lip sync most of the film to this day.
I've also watched Space Balls and Monty Python and the Holy Grail more times than I can count.
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.
Star Trek: First Contact
Star Trek: First Contact
The Martian and Clerks!!
Oh man, I'm going to get made fun of for this, but... The Barbie movies. Especially The 12 Dancing Princresses. My sister and I watched it so many times as kids that we could quote the entire thing (we often did so while watching it lmao). Honestly just off the top of my head now I probably could quote a good 80-90 percent of it. We must have watched it more than a hundred times, not even exaggerating.
I used to know the guy who does the music for them. Our bands used to play together all the time like 15 years ago, and we would chat after the shows and online all the time. He's like the nicest guy I've ever met. I haven't talked to him in years, though.
Edit: To be clear though, he didn't do 12 Dancing Princesses. I'm pretty sure he would have been in middle school at the time. He does the newer ones.
Moonstruck. It’s like watching a home movie of our family reunion.
I’ll say no more…
School of Rock, it kinda became a Christmas movie with my family, we watch it every year. Jingle All The Way with Arnold Schwarzenegger is the other one.
Then there's my personal favorite, Pacific Rim. I absolutely adore that movie, giant robots fighting kaijus. Too bad there was never a sequel.2001, close to 40 times...and only in theaters. (I've never watched it on TV.)
Boogie Nights, close to 50 times...perhaps half of those on the big screen.
Was this all in one go or do you just have a local theater that really loves to show it?
Those viewings of "2001" are over a multi-year period, beginning in April, 1968. Same with "Boogie Nights"--many viewings since 1997.
Goddamn Mr moneybags over here.
I literally don't have anything valuable enough I could sell to afford 40 movie theatre tickets, other than my car
See my response (above)--that's over many, many years.
SWAT. Only because we didn't have cable and we couldn't get it unstuck from the VCR.
The original Independence Day, The Big Short, Jaws, Halloween, and Pacific Rim are all comfort movies that are on rotation whenever my husband or I are gone for work and I get lonely 😂
Shrek. I saw it every day for like 25 straight days.
3 Idiots, a feel-good Indian movie.
All is well
Friday the 13th the new blood, V for vendetta and hackers.
Tropic thunder
Hot Tub Time MachineA few I’ve not seen mentioned -
Clue Remo unarmed and dangerous Dead men don’t wear plaid Taken Tremors 1 & 2, not the rest North by northwest Stardust
In no particular order besides alphabetical (all movies rewatched over a dozen times):
- Atomic Blonde
- Bad Boys 1 and 2
- Bourne Trilogy
- Back To The Future trilogy
- Deja Vu
- Eraser
- LOTR trilogy
- Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of Black Pearl
- Swat
- Terminator trilogy
- True Lies
- Transformers (the original ones with Shia LaBeouf)
There are many more, but I'm not gonna sit here and try to remember them all.
Lord of The Rings. and I can’t count how many times it was. as a kid I had a weekly routine to watch at least one of the movies. oh dear how I love this trilogy
I’m not sure why but I will find myself rewatching Catch me if you can every couple of years on a whim. Something about it compels me
I gotta go with Primer because it pretty much is necessary to re-watch it multiple times to understand what is going on.
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!
Greg does the best impression of Wiseau ever. You can find him read the whole book. It's hilarious

Oh snap, that would be fun to rip through! Read the book a while back and had a proper hoot with it. Dude has so many stories after bombing around with ol' Tommy
Just saw Primer for the first time, so I'm gonna need to preemptively answer: Primer.
Ooooh I completely forgot Primer!
I haven’t watched that movie since later this afternoon.
I have 2 answers.
By choice: Growing up, I watched Strange Brew with my friends uncountable times.
Not by choice: for 10 years I worked slinging tvs in a hifi store. I watched the following movies so many times.
- antz
- a bugs life
- toy story
- dragonheart
- Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone
- Star Wars ep 1
- the matrix
- titan AE
- Armageddon
- wall-e
- shrek
Yeah I don't really rewatch movies except maybe to sort of show them to other people. But I have a small child so I know my top movies are Moana and Encanto, just not by choice
Both Grumpy Old Men movies are watched every single year at least once.
Mononoke Home / Princess Mononoke
Chronicles of Riddick, King Arthur - Legend of the Sword, Pirates of the Caribbean series, LOTR series.
I forgot 13th Warrior!
Lo there do I see my father.
Very good movie. John McTiernan is a masterful director. That, Predator and Die Hard.
Gangs of Wasseypur. It's a 5-hour movie, split into two parts. But really, it's just one epic story. I've watched it countless number of times. While in college, me and my mates would get high and watch this movie. I've probably watched it with most of my friends at least once.
Two other movies that come close are Pulp Fiction and Bhooter Bhobishyot.
Kid- Clash of the Titans (eighties version)
Cable years - Shawshank Redemption (it is still ALWAYS on)
recent/streaming- Avengers or GotG
Original Clash of the Titans Medusa scared the crap out of me. I may be dating myself...
It's a Wonderful Life. Every year on Christmas, and every year I can relate with George just a little bit more. I've even seen a stage version of it love!
"Hot Rod", "Accepted", or "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
As a kid, Tremors, Aliens, and Police Academy 4. Those were films we had on VHS (recorded from the TV). The first two were on the same 4h cassette, recorded in glorious long play mode and the write protection tab broken out for safety.
More than a dozen watches for each of those.
As an adult, there's a few had multiple watches. No idea what's the "most" but the ones that stick out are: Charlie's Angels - the mid 2000's one with Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Lu. Blade 2 The fast and the Furious The terminator Kill Bill
Both LOTR and Harry Potter, marathon once in a while.
Ice Station Zebra
Airplane!
Surely you can't be serious.
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
Hateful Eight. The acting, pacing, dialogue all 10/10 IMO. It just feels cozy watching it.
American History X, Pulp Fiction, Heat.. I could go on and on
Eurotrip
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.
Ocean's Eleven
"...the Rat Pack one with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin!"
Imagine some crazy guy saying that.
Beerfest, back to the future 1+2, the big lebowski are some of my repeat picks.
Whenever I have a really bad day at work my husband will play Slammin Salmon to cheer me up.
Superbad
Star Trek: First Contact or Insurrection
Practical Magic. It might be tied with Nightmare Before Christmas.
It was comfortable for me to watch them both often when I scored a VCR in my room.
Freddy got fingered, to the point a friend and me could retell the whole movie word for word.
As a kid I spent probably a week sitting under a table in my room, rewatching A New Hope on a portable dvd player over and over and over. I thought that I should watch it until I had every line memorized, and then move onto ESB (which I never did for obvious reasons)
So probably ANH, followed by any other SW movie, then Mad Max Fury Road and Sicario
The Last Dragon or Ghostbusters, probably. I still watch those both at least once a year. So probably 50+ times for both of those.
The Matrix
Every rewatch I notice something new
Same here, must be over 50 times since 99 when it first came out on dvd. Most of those in the first few years showing off my flash new dual disc dvd player!
Grumpy Old Men:)
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
It is somehow my goto "comfort"-movie
I’ve seen The Fellowship of the Ring more times med than I can count. I love the whole trilogy, but Fellowship is my favorite.
Alien, Aliens and Predator. The Big Lebowski and the John Wick films are gaining traction more recently.
For me it's Casino. Easily my favorite movie.
I love rewatching "monster" movies. Like The Mummy, Deep Blue Sea, and Lake Placid.
Definitely the Avatar movie, I mean the blue ones not TLA. I watched it when it came out, watched it several times with my family and friends. Lastly I watched it at IMAX, was a fantastic experience. Sadly second movie did not live up to my expectations.
Definitely Bio Dome!
Maybe Thor Ragnarok
Probably A Goofy Movie. I had it on VHS and watched it over and over, the themes in it were just exactly what I needed to hear as a tween. It probably fell behind in the count for a while, but now I have Disney plus and rewatch it pretty regularly. And yes, I've seen the Atlanta episode, I had no idea, and it's hilarious.
My family watched this so many times! We named our cat Max. My adult children got Powerline t-shirts last Christmas.
There are few of them for me, but maybe Warrior (2011) is the favourite go to movie for me. If I'm overwhelmed by anything, it helps me reset myself and put things in perspective and get me in the mindset to fight back and stay strong.
Drive Thru. It's a B rate slasher horror flick. Highly entertaining and always a recommendation.
For me American Pie (was the first movie I've watched in English, when I was finding out you could switch languages on dvd), followed by the Matrix.
Anytime they pop up we watch Casino Royale, Groundhog Day, Family Stone. We were late picking friends up at the airport yesterday because we were sitting in a hotel watching Grease. I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but it's exhausting to watch so i sometimes skip it.
Warrior with Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte. Bawl my eyes out at the end every time I watch it.
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.
Shaun Of The Dead
Strictly Ballroom
The Dark Knight
Aliens Forrest Gump Incredibles Shrek Shawshank Redemption 5th Element Ice Age
Jurassic park!

There's a good set of movies I rewatch a lot so I can't say which is most often, but I'll pick a couple.
The first Matrix movie is up there for me. I think it's the best one and I've rewatched it the most. I've rewatched the following two, but not as much. I thought the fourth one was weird and produced too late so not going to watch that one again.
There's an obscure movie called Hunter Prey (2010) that I've rewatched a lot. It's a low budget sci-fi, but it's almost like a play with limited settings, just a handful of actors, and limited special effects. I really like the story, actors, and setting plus the music is good. Probably most people would think it's shit, but sometimes a low budget film can really nail it for me.
- My Neighbor Totoro
- Spirited Away
- 5 Centimeters per Second
- Your Name
- A Silent Voice
- I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
- The Graduate
- Summer of '42
- Lost in Translation
- The Virgin Suicides
Omg! Summer of 42! We were watching The Shining last night and there's a tiny clip of that but i couldn't remember the name. I kept saying, "Herv the perv" but no one knew what o was taking about. Thank you!
At least no shota anime
oh wait..
The judge.
Leaves everything behind to become this great lawyer but when the unfortunate happens he has to go back and come to terms with what he thought was once lost.
Not sure why I keep watching it but I do enjoy how it develops.
draft - Steve Jobs (2015 Fassbender version)
2012, Wolf of Wall Street and the back to the future trilogy
Ghostbusters. Saw it hundreds of times as a kid. Still watch it every few years.
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
Blade Runner Indiana Jones Cube Baraka
This all showed up in a line on my app, and I totally read it as one title "Blade Runner Indiana Jones Cube Baraka".
i entered it with line breaks. but maybe as an ai prompt it would make it a crazy mashup movie
The Cabin in the Woods.
Not me, but my partner watched the Jim Carrey Grinch movie every single day for a few months.
Lone Wolf McQuade. Taped it on VHS and watched it with my friends all the time 😂
The original Matrix movie
- The Blob (1988)
- Night of The Comet
- Night of The Creeps
Pee Wee's Big Adventure as a child and too many Michael Bay Transformers sequels as an adult due to their frequency on FX and now Pluto TV. I think Dark of the Moon is aired most often.
Lost Horizon (Frank Capra) and Freaks (Tod Browning)
Man of Steel
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.
Shrek.
Because we lived somewhere without TV reception at the height of Shrek popularity and had it on VHS.
Also Shrek was the default option of teachers to show the class at the time, especially on bus trips
Inception! I think I even saw it whole in my dreams, or did I?
Back to the future.
In the theater? Boogie Nights.
My friend and I didn't know a goddamn thing about Paul Thomas Anderson when we went to the premiere. All we knew was that Heather Graham got naked in this movie about porn stars. We'd both had massive crushes on Heather ever since License to Drive... A crush which was only strengthened by her appearance in Swingers.
It turned out that the great nudity was only a bonus to what ended up being an amazing film with brilliant performances from everyone... INCLUDING Marky Mark. My friend and I ended up going to see Boogie Nights on the big screen close to 20 times. It helped that I had just gotten a job as an usher at a theater when the movie got it's second run, so we could see it for free. It also became a point of local pride since PTA was North East Ohio television royalty, and my friend and I wanted to follow in his footsteps
For me, it was, sadly, Final Fantasy Spirits Within.
I don't like the movie, but when it was in theaters every one of my friends wanted to see it, and schedules didn't line up. Buddy is in town for 3 days "hey let's see a movie!" Every time it ended up being that damn movie.
I ended up seeing it in the theaters 10 times.
That's actually a great movie, and it's probably one of my most watched DVDs.
It's some of the best early mo-cap cgi in cinema history. Photorealistic without diving into the uncanny valley.
And storyline is very engaging. It hits poignant notes about pacifism, environmentalism and reincarnation without coming off as preachy or condescending.
The lady that was having sex with everyone at the party was the oddest thing. That was totally not a healthy relationship.
That was the point.
The Dark Knight.
I only usually rewatch films whenever I feel like I'd need a pick-me-up. Something light-hearted, so I'd usually go for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
But during my recent movie marathon, I discovered more films which are actually good contenders for a rewatch such as The Fundamentals of Caring (highly recommended) and The Land of Steady Habits.
Groundhog Day, Wedding Crashers, Zombieland and then 2 odd Disney movies would be Luca and Coco
I bet it felt like Groundhog Day watching that film over and over.
The fast and the furious 1,2,3
At least once a year this one is a must.
For me it Lord of the Rings and/or Harry Potter. Can't count how often I watched these masterpieces.
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
The Batman. Dune
