What film have you watched the most times?

[GOM]

Hunt for Red October

 

[The Modfather]

This , its a bit marmite , but my favourite comedy film of all time and for me it recaptures an era

Part Party is a brilliant film, never gets the recognition it deserves

 

[Seagull58]

Pulp Fiction. Never get tired of it.

In 1988 worked in the Curzon cinema in Eastbourne for a summer. Ill fitting polyester jacket, tray of King Cones, boxes of Poppets. Due to fire regs a member of staff had to be in the auditorium through all shows. They re-released The Jungle Book that summer and I must have seen it well over 50 times. Marvellous. A Handful Of Dust 20 odd times, still one of my favourite books/ films. Hairspray 20 odd times (OK). Rambo 3 was shit the second time around, diabolical by the 5th viewing but by about the 20th time I had achieved a zen like state of grace. I recently rewatched it and it is indeed shit. Young Guns was still pretty good on the 30th viewing.

Can't Buy Me Love, Vice Versa, Crocodile Dundee 2, Big, Arthur 2 and many others passed without registering after a dozen or more viewings.

I nabbed the 'Art House Wednesday' shift and after a couple of weeks I was giving a little talk on the evening performances based on the 2 viewings earlier in the day. Cinema Paradiso, A Short Film about Killing, A Short Film about Love, Ghosts ....of the Civil Dead, Babette's Feast.

The staff room had a record player, staff were only allowed to bring 1 record in and only 3 of us bothered. Everytime I had a fag break I listened to 'How Soon is Now', 'True Colors' (Cyndi Lauper) or one of the tracks from Now That's What I call Music 7 (typically 'Brilliant Mind', 'Camouflage', 'Absolute Beginners' or 'Word Up' If Petrina's break coincided with mine we would have a dance to 'Happy Hour' by The Housemartins. She wasn't a good dancer as she had a club foot.

Just before I left to go to University the owner got hold of a print of Blade Runner and let me have a go as the projectionist, which was nice.

Anyway, back to the question.

The Jungle Book

closely followed by Aliens, Gattaca, Jaws and Powaqqatsi (normally stoned out of my head)

 

[BigBod]

MAD MAX The first one from the day it released in the cinema in 1979 and still watching it now....hundreds and hundreds of times. I have driven people nuts with it over the years...

I'd just started riding bikes when it came out and that film shaped the way I dressed for years...always had a matt black full face lid with goggles for years and years....

 

[Trotty]

Life of Brian
The Italian Job
Hunt for Red October
Alien

 

[grummitts gloves]

Watched Matrix Trilogy, Full Metal Jacket, Quadrophenia & The Great Escape too many times to count.

 

[maltaseagull]

Kelly's Heroes is always on TV here. (I think the channel is AMC ) and I still love it

 

[Bognor Bystander]

[Vegas Seagull]

For me it's "quadrophonia"

Probably seen it in excess of 250 times -sad I know but I just luv the film and the music

Snap & the only one I've ever seen more than once
The next one to repeat is likely to be Midnight Express not seen since I sneaked in @ 15 and not been brave enough since

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I know Saving Private Ryan word for word, great film!

 

[Colonel Angus]

The Man Who Would Be King starring Seen Canary and Michael Caine. Cracking film.

Aside from that, Comedy films are always easy to watch again, so I also include:

Ferris Bueler's Day Off
This is Spinal Tap
Life of Brian
Police Academy (I watched it 20 times in my teens, but admittedly I haven't watched it much since)

I keep watching star trek the next generation on Syfy even though I seen most of these before. I like the star trek films as well to keep on topic.
