  • What is The Film You've Watched THE MOST?

    I'm talking 100+ times and.... why? You know the ending, you know what's going to happen but you watch...whether it's on DVD, network TV or on TNT for the umpteenth time.

    I have no trouble answering this question:

    Bladerunner

    I have seen it over 300 times, I would say.

      Why so many times?

          I've never seen a movie a hundred times, but the most:

          TOMMY BOY because I just love it.
          WILLIE WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY because it was a
          part of my childhood.
          CHRISTMAS STORY because it is my wife's favorite holiday movie and
          we watch it a couple times every Christmas.

            Hard to say exactly which one film I've seen the most; there's probably 10 or so I've seen 20 times or more (can't say I've seen any film 100x - sheesh!)... but it's probably got to be Poltergeist, or Jaws, or Back to the Future. For each of them, I enjoy the way they are CRAFTED; the shots, the cuts, the music, the way the camera moves, the actors are blocked. I like dissecting them, figuring out why some moments give me goosebumps or make my inner cine-geek giggle like a school girl.

            Runner Ups:
            Close Encounters
            Temple of Doom
            T2
            Alien
            The Terminator
            Star Wars
            Raiders
            Rosemary's Baby
            Memento
            Donnie Darko
            2001

              For me it is The Graduate -- for Dustin's speeding car and foot run, are you here for an affair sir?

              When Harry Met Sally -- baby fish mouth and you made a woman meow?

              Good Fellas -- for I'm funny? funny how?

              Terminator -- for the final chase "you're terminated fuh kerr"

              Bullitt -- the car chase

                The movies I've seen the most would be the ones from my childhood that I watched over and over again. So that's a cross between T2 and BttF.

                  Predator. Not the world's best film but as a teenager, i just loved it. And hey, who hasn't fantasized about mowing down a jungle with a minigun?

                      Wow, watching Groundhog's Day more than 100 times? Given the film's premise, your head must be really spinning!

                      Dude, like, what's today's date?!

                        I write comedy and action and yet the films I've watched the most are dramas.

                        Serpico
                        Midnight Cowboy
                        Kramer vs Kramer

                        A funny set piece is funny but so many times. An explosion or car chase grabs me maybe twice these days. But the human condition has so many layers to it.

                              The Princess Bride - Sooo many quotables. Also, I like to count how many of Savage's toys I also owned.

                              Predator - It's a fun romp with thick-skulled brutes and it is difficult to find a line more groan-worthy than "stick around."

                              Chasing Amy up until the ice rink parking lot scene - Jason Lee's performance at the "Four-way street" scene awes me every time.
