  • Films You've Seen More Then Once?

    What films have you paid to see more then once at the Cinema? A number of posters mentioned having paid to see Raiders of the lost Ark a few times (on the speilberg thread). So I thought it would be interesting to see peoples Top 3/5 films, relating to how many times they saw a pic at the flicks!

    Here's my top 3!

    1) Phantom Menance - 3 times (oh dear:/)
    2) Jurassic Park - 2 times
    3) Alien Resurrection - 2 times

    I've not actually seen a movie more then once at the Cinema for a while now, I'm sure DVD & home entertainment systems have something to do with that!

      The Two Towers - 3 times
      Return of the King - twice
      Spiderman - twice
      I, Robot - twice (there was a town wide power cut ten minutes before the end the first time, and the only other film I could see with my complemenary ticket was The Stepford Wives)

      and...

      Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (no great explanation: it just made me feel all giddy. I now feel shame).

        All the Lord Of The Rings films. Fellowship around 7 or 8 times, Towers 3-4, Return about 5 or so.

        I saw Star Wars 27 times in the theater.
        Jaws I watched multiple times.
        The Matrix I saw 3 times.


        Those are the main ones that come to mind.

          Star Wars 27 times at the theatre? Me too!

          For me: The Three Musketeers (Richard Lester, 1973), 9 times
          Star Wars, 27 times
          Empire Strikes Back, 5 times
          Phantom Menace, 11 times (shame on me!)
          Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (lost count)
          Karate Kid, 3 times

              Excluding The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins, which I see
              in the regular or singalong versions whenever they come around, I
              can only recall two.

              Sliding Doors (2 times)
              Ma Vie en Rose (2 times)

              I actually saw Star Wars twice but it doesn't count. Sorry guys, but I
              fell asleep both times.

                How about first run? Did you really see Star Wars 27 times during the 1st run?

                My list:

                Raiders of the Lost Ark - 7
                Sideways - 5
                Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - 3
                Napoleon Dynamite - 3
                The Aviator - 2

                Probably many, many others, but those are the ones that spring to mind (4 from last year when I was a secret shopper for UA)

                    Films You've Seen More THAN Once?

                    THE BIRTH OF A NATION, twice, and that's because I was the projectionist.

                    The only seat left in the small theater was behind the projector, so I got that job. GABRIEL OVER THE WHITE HOUSE and THE LAST HURRAH were other films in the series of American political films shown. Otherwise, (with television, videotapes, and dvd copies), I don't understand the need to watch the same film in a cinema several times, unless it's to share the time with someone who hasn't seen it, or you've got a bad memory.

                      I have no recollection of every seeing a film twice in the theater.

                      I'm sure somewhere at some time, a friend said "Let's go see this" and I'd already seen it, but went anyway out of boredom or desire not to go to class.

                      Maybe Cyborg.

                        Raiders of the Lost Ark - 2
                        Blues Brothers - 50 (approx.)


                        The Valhalla Cinema down here in Melbourne used to play the Blues Brothers every Friday night at 11:30. Huge regular crowd every week, loads of people dressing as characters from the movie and acting out many of the scenes while they were playing on the big screen.

                        I was Elwood. Or should I say, one of many Elwoods.

                        The Valhalla moved to another location years ago and I think they're only playing the Blues Brothers once a month now. Sad, really.

                          I knew somebody who went to "Tommy" twenty-five times. And no, he wasn't deaf, dumb, and blind.
