Board 8 > Movies you have watched more than 20 times?

(+) Yeah! (+)

What movies have you watched countless times?

Like... if you had to make a Top 5 or Top 10 list of your most watched movies in your lifetime.
I know it's hard to gauge... but throw yours out there.

Octopussy is on TV this week.
And my mate said he watched that more than 20 times.
That's what got me thinking...

Here's mine, off the top of my head, in no particular order...

1. American Pie
2. The Matrix
3. The Goonies
4. Back to the Future II
5. Back to the Future
6. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
7. Home Alone
8. Dumb & Dumber
9. Happy Gilmore
10. Big

---

As a bonus question, did you ever see a movie more than once... or twice... at the cinema?


---

I have a friend who is a Marvel fanatic and he watched Endgame like almost every month ever since it came out and I am still not sure he actually watched it more than 20 times

So uh..I will be very surprised if there are many people that have watched a movie more than 20 times..


---

I have watched multiple films multiple times but I don't think I've watched one 20 times. I don't even know what film I'd say I've watched the most. Maybe Aliens?

---

Im fairly confident I havent seen any movie even ten times

maybe Ive seen something five? Its possible Ive watched Starship Troopers five times

---

Very likely none

If any it would have to be something I had on VHS as a little kid (so like Lion King or Aladdin or something)

---

I honestly think my list begins and ends with

Happy Gilmore

just a combination of extremely rewatchable movie and Im not a big movie person

---

I probably watched stuff like Pocahontas, The Lion King, and Toy Story over 20 times as a toddler but since then I don't think I've watched a move more than 5 times. If I had to guess my most watched movie is Ace Ventura: Pet Detective though

I saw Mad Max: Fury Road twice with the same person, and The Last Jedi twice with different people (and some of the same people)

---

20 times is a massive stretch.

Childhood stuff definitely ranks high.
I think I watched Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island a lot.


---

Not sure

Matrix, Lion King probably but 20 is a lot

---

The Back to the Future trilogy might be my only ones I've seen 20+ times. There might be a few that's close to that but nothing immediate comes to mind.

Yeah, probably. Back then I only had a NES with like 10 games and no Internet
So if I wasn't playing, I was watching something. But even then I had enough variety because we recorded TV shows

Lion King does rank high for me but who knows how many...

---

To be honest its almost ju animated movies from my childhood.

---

Nothing anywhere near 20. House (1977) is definitely my most-watched, probably sitting around 10 times. I helped run a club in college essentially centered around midnight movies, and House was a film I introduced that everyone seemed to legitimately love. I still do an annual showing to introduce my new friends to it, and it has been a success every time.

After that, I don't think anything goes beyond 5. I don't revisit movies too much, as I'm too focused on exploring new ones.

---

Clue

---

definitely:
Fellowship of the Ring
Aladdin

likely:
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

maybe:
The Crow
Return of the Jedi

I've seen a bunch of movies in the theater multiple times. off the top of my head...
Terminator 2
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
Braveheart
Return of the Jedi
all LOTR (Fellowship 5 times)
Master and Commander
Star Wars ST
Pete's Dragon
Moana


---

20+

Borat
Scary Movie 3

10+

50 First Dates
Spirited Away
---

Back to the future trilogy
Star Wars OT
The Tiny Toons movie about summer vacation
Jurassic Park
Home Alone 2
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Goonies
The Lost Boys
Aladdin
Princess Mononoke

and... embarrasing as this is: Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, which I would watch every single time I got sick and had to stay home from school.


---

I don't know about 20 times but there are definitely a couple movies I've watched a bunch, mostly animated ones

The Lion King
Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Probably a bunch of other christmas movies I forgot
That one Fairly Odd Parents movie
Kill Bill 1 and 2


---

Anything we had on VHS when I was a kid.

In particular, the Star Wars movies, many disney features, and some other animated movies
---

Movies from my childhood when I would rewatch stuff constantly and The Princess Bride are probably it.

---

Enemy of the State - It sort of became my go to movie in high school when I had nothing else to do.

Maybe the OT Star Wars movies?

Probably a lot when I was little, but the ones that come to mind are Aladdin and the animated Robin Hood where the characters were animals.
---

Probably none at 20+

But films I have watched a lot:

The Lion King
LOTR (various versions)
Nightmare before Christmas
Notting Hill
Maybe a few more Disney ones
Gladiator.
Hot Fuzz
Sean of the Dead
At Worlds End

20 times is a hell of a lot of time on one movie.

---

I don't voluntarily watch movies more than once a decade, if that often.

I guess as a kid my best friend would always put on either the last crusade or tiny tunes adventures before falling asleep during sleepovers (which was kind of annoying and prevented me from falling asleep) so I think those are the only two that *might* have reached that number

I do know someone that watched MIB at least 50 times during the time span I knew them. And I know someone else that watched Ghostbusters every day between the ages of 3 and 5

---

So the only contenders would be

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Groundhog Day
Bloodsport
Terminator 2
The Dark Knight

I think these all only breach 10 though.

TMNT and Groundhog Day might cap 20 by being movies I watched as a kid when we had a new shiny VCP (that's a P. player only!) and only had 2 VHS movies for like 6 months

---

My list of movies I've seen two times is almost non-existent.

---

why would i do that

---

Only ones I know for sure are Forrest Gump (which my family watches every year) and The Emperor's New Groove (which I probably watched 10 times a year as a kid and still watch it pretty often)

The Day After Tomorrow might've also passed the 20 mark because it used to play almost religiously on FX in the mid 2000s

---

I'm not even sure if LotR trilogy has hit ten for me yet. Maybe it has but it is around that number. No other movies come anywhere close.

So 20? Not even close.

I'm probably in triple digits watching the Star Wars original trilogy. Beyond that, probably the original Pirates of the Caribbean and maybe Princess Bride

---

I love films!! Watching something 20x is quite a lot for me, though. #1 I have watched probably 10x at this point, the others are in an indeterminate 'more than once but less than 10x' category.

1. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust [2000] - incredible animation and cinematography
2. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow [2004] - retro zeerust feel and unexpectedly big ticket stars like Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and a posthumous cameo of Sir Laurence Olivier
3. The Iron Giant [1999] - funny and heartwarming
4. Kate & Leopold [2001] - my fave modern rom-com
5. Roman Holiday [1953] - my fave film
6. Disney animated films insert - Aladdin [1992], Little Mermaid [1989], Hunchback of Notre Dame [1996] and Atlantis: The Lost Empire [2001] top the list here
7. Other animated films insert - Anastasia [1997], Prince of Egypt [1998], Fievel Goes West [1991], FernGully: The Last Rainforest [1992] some of these were watched more than Disney but not all
8. The Sound of Music [1965] - family fave
9. Ben-Hur [1959] - papa's fave film
10. Remember the Titans [2000] - mama was watching this every time I turned around when I was in high school idk
11. Seasons of the Heart [1993] - a direct-to-video 19th century drama about a couple who adopts a little boy. Stand in for several similar family friendly Christian films from when I was growing up.

I saw Bohemian Rhapsody a couple of times at the cinema, but only because I was going with different people. Can't recall going out to see anything else multiple times.

Clue / Cludeo (genuinely probably 100+ times)

Star Wars Ep 1, 4, 5, 6

All Harry Potter films

All Jurassic Park / World

Home Alone 1/2

A whole bunch of Disney (including Snow White, Aladdin, Lion King, Frozen)

Sound of Music
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Wizard of Oz
A tonne of musicals tbh

---

Kill Bill Vol 1, largely because I keep forgetting to download audiobooks so it's my go-to if I'm doing something and don't want to listen to music (I've actively watched it enough I can picture it pretty comprehensively with just the audio so I count this)

---

I think the only films with 20+ viewings would be (their "film" status is dubious but I will count them for the topic's purposes):
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town

I've for sure watched these every year since I was 5.

Definitely 10+:
Reservoir Dogs
American Psycho
Nightmare Before Christmas

Approaching 10+:
It (1990) (if you count it as a film)
Resident Evil: Degeneration + Damnation
Nosferatu
The Avengers
Star Wars Episode 4 + 5
The Mist
Misery
Candyman
The Ring

To answer the other question, the only film remember I seeing twice in theaters was The Dark Knight Rises.

---

Oh, I also saw Parasite twice in theaters, when it first came out and then when it was re-released leading up to the Oscars.

---

DreamEater12 posted...

Probably none at 20+

But films I have watched a lot:

Singin in the Rain
Interstellar
My Cousin Vinny
The Little Mermaid
The Dark Knight Rises

It's a Wonderful Life

I think I started watching it every Christmas twenty years ago.

Maybe The Wizard of Oz as well. My parents have said that when I was little I would watch it, rewind the tape, then watch it over again, so who knows how many times I've seen it.

---

Probably some disney movie.

Or Grease 2.
(seriously, I loved that movie)

Oh now this one I did a lot

The most is 3 times for Infinity War, Force Awakens and I think the first Harry Potter movie

---

Star wars episode 1

Saw it opening night and then with my family.

---

Dont think Ive seen anything that many times, but if anything is close to it for me it would be Die Hard and Jurassic Park

SpikeSetsFire posted...

My dubious one and only answer to this question is Van Helsing, particularly because I don't even like the movie much

Was a weird time in High School. Had 3 separate groups of friends want to go see it. The third group suggested it when we were pretty drunk so that's probably the only reason I went.

---

These generally come from my childhood because, you know, you only owned so many VHSes and so did your friends
-Nightmare Before Christmas (everyone had this)
-Monty Python's Holy Grail
-Horse Feathers (Marx Bros.)
Edit:
-Wizard of Oz should also qualify

---

pokemon 2000 i watched once a day for an entire summer. on top of the endless number of other times i've seen it outside of that summer. going to guess 100-200 times i've seen that one. it was never even near my favorite pokemon movie, just happened to do it with that for some reason

not sure anything else comes close, i don't really watch movies that often. there are probably some i've seen more than 20 times, particularly other pokemon movies, but nothing i can say i have /definitely/ seen more than 20 times like that one.
---

DreamEater12 posted...

Probably none at 20+

But films I have watched a lot:

Fantasia 2000

(Or just have it playing in the background)

---

Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat Armageddon

Are also on my list of 10+

I've seen the jurassic world films twice at cinema each

---

Groudhog Day?

it's hard to tell

---

Probably Galaxy Quest. Aside from the times I watched it on my own they used to air it every weekend on TBS and I'd like, "Oh, hey, Galaxy Quest! Yeah, I'll watch that."

I saw Endgame twice back to back. My friends wanted me to go with them, but I didn't want to wait for everyone to schedule a time and get tickets. So I got a Thursday night ticket first showing ticket for myself as soon as they went up, and then got a ticket to go with them when they finally got everything together.

---

if i had to guess, i'd say i've seen Home Alone around 15 times. but it might be 20. don't think anything else comes close.
