For me, it’s either the Matrix or Pulp Fiction. I have seen both a lot of times but certainly not more often than say a dozen times.

I gotta go with Primer because it pretty much is necessary to re-watch it multiple times to understand what is going on.

So there's several high caliber films I've seen a bunch, like Pulp Fiction, Memento, etc.. but I think the actual movie I've seen the most times is The Room.

For the uninitiated, The Room is the worst movie of all time. Tommy Wiseau wrote, produced, directed, and starred in this disasterpiece. It's so bad, they made a movie about the book about the making of The Room. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion for 90 minutes.

I've been responsible for many people's first viewings, which means I've seen it far, far more than I should. I almost got to meet Tommy and Greg (plays Tommy's best friend in film) at a screening but icy ass rain made the trek too dangerous.

I'd say it's a must see for anyone who enjoys film. Every other movie will feel better after comparing it to this flaming bag of garbage. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll say "wtf" at least 7 times.

You just convinced me to watch it, so either thank you or fuck you lmao I'll keep you posted

Lolol eager to hear how it goes!

[–] johnthebeboptist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Greg does the best impression of Wiseau ever. You can find him read the whole book. It's hilarious

Just saw Primer for the first time, so I'm gonna need to preemptively answer: Primer.

Ooooh I completely forgot Primer!

Yeah I don't really rewatch movies except maybe to sort of show them to other people. But I have a small child so I know my top movies are Moana and Encanto, just not by choice

A few I’ve not seen mentioned -

Clue Remo unarmed and dangerous Dead men don’t wear plaid Taken Tremors 1 & 2, not the rest North by northwest Stardust

[–] nayminlwin@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

3 Idiots, a feel-good Indian movie.

Both LOTR and Harry Potter, marathon once in a while.

[–] Prootje@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Freddy got fingered, to the point a friend and me could retell the whole movie word for word.

[–] Im28xwa@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe Thor Ragnarok

[–] PoetSII@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As a kid I spent probably a week sitting under a table in my room, rewatching A New Hope on a portable dvd player over and over and over. I thought that I should watch it until I had every line memorized, and then move onto ESB (which I never did for obvious reasons)

So probably ANH, followed by any other SW movie, then Mad Max Fury Road and Sicario

[–] herc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely Bio Dome!

As a kid, Tremors, Aliens, and Police Academy 4. Those were films we had on VHS (recorded from the TV). The first two were on the same 4h cassette, recorded in glorious long play mode and the write protection tab broken out for safety.

More than a dozen watches for each of those.

As an adult, there's a few had multiple watches. No idea what's the "most" but the ones that stick out are: Charlie's Angels - the mid 2000's one with Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Lu. Blade 2 The fast and the Furious The terminator Kill Bill

[–] ClaretNBlue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

American History X, Pulp Fiction, Heat.. I could go on and on

[–] toffi@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

For me it's Casino. Easily my favorite movie.

[–] Prox@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I used to fall asleep watching Twister on VHS. Something about the substandard quality and tracking sound really sealed the deal when I needed to catch some Zzz's.

I watched it so many times that I wore out the tape.

Airplane!

Surely you can't be serious.

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

[–] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Practical Magic. It might be tied with Nightmare Before Christmas.

It was comfortable for me to watch them both often when I scored a VCR in my room.

[–] quark@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Star Trek: First Contact or Insurrection

[–] rynzcycle@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably A Goofy Movie. I had it on VHS and watched it over and over, the themes in it were just exactly what I needed to hear as a tween. It probably fell behind in the count for a while, but now I have Disney plus and rewatch it pretty regularly. And yes, I've seen the Atlanta episode, I had no idea, and it's hilarious.

Definitely the Avatar movie, I mean the blue ones not TLA. I watched it when it came out, watched it several times with my family and friends. Lastly I watched it at IMAX, was a fantastic experience. Sadly second movie did not live up to my expectations.

[–] manwithabox@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Grumpy Old Men:)
