Being a recovering Trekkie I've watched Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan uncounted times and Star Trek VIII First Contact I have some relatives with a Star Wars fixation and have had to watch the original trilogy more times than I care to remember. In the past 10 years when I've been feeling down I like to watch Glory
This is interesting topic. There are some great movies that I have no desire to see more than once, like Star Wars or Malcom X. Ther are some OK movies that I trip over while surfing cable that lock me down and paralyze my hand on the remote. This movies are not high art at all and mostly not very cerebral. Here is my list Naked Gun (> 100 times) Groundhog Day Airplane! Raising Arizona Excalibur Real Men Mr Destiny Casablanca Apocalypse Now Stripes Caddyshack This is Spinal Tap! Analyze This Animal House Ghost Busters Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb Used Cars Repo Man Men in Black The Man with One Red Shoe My Cousin Vinny Fast Times at Ridgemont High Top Gun Die Hard Twelve Monkeys Swordfish My Favorite Year The Princess Bride A Few Good Men
reading this thread made me realize just how many movies there are that i've seen a lot of times. yeah it's funny, Jurassic Park might be my favorite movie ever, but i never stop to watch it on USA or NBC when they play it. it's like i want to be in the mood to appreciate it, whereas with these others i just want to be entertained and they do a good job. from my childhood, there is The Great Outdoors which is another candidate for my favorite movie ever. i've also seen Beetlejuice countless times. Trading Places was absolutely beat into the ground by USA, TBS, and TNT in the early 90's and if we're counting 15 minutes as watched like A-Train mentioned, then this would probably have to be somewhere in the 50-75 times range and probably be the most ever for me. thanks to TNT, i've seen The Mummy a ton of times, and i usually will watch it all the way through, even when they play it 3 straight days. then there are things like Back to the Future, Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters, Top Gun, Shawshank, The Breakfast Club, and MIB that i've seen a bunch of times on tv. and since HBO doesn't seem to wanna put any new movies worth a damn into it's rotation, i've been living off of Bad Boys II for a while (which is a funny ass movie) and so it's climbing the charts. does anyone else wish we had some sort of lifetime stat keeper that we could reference at all times for things like this? you know, just ask which movies have i seen the most and a top 10 or top 100 list just pops up.
so in your sig what does svupernaut mean? is it from 1000 homo djs. one of al jourgason's side projoects? just thought i would ask
Excalibur (30 ish times) Rocky Horror Picture Show (30ish times...but I don't have the darn thing memorized...thanks to having only seen it sober twice) Casablanca (20 ish times) The Godfather (20 ish times) The list of movies I have seen 5-10 times would be pages long
