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.

Warrior with Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte. Bawl my eyes out at the end every time I watch it.

For me American Pie (was the first movie I've watched in English, when I was finding out you could switch languages on dvd), followed by the Matrix.

Anytime they pop up we watch Casino Royale, Groundhog Day, Family Stone. We were late picking friends up at the airport yesterday because we were sitting in a hotel watching Grease. I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but it's exhausting to watch so i sometimes skip it.

There's a good set of movies I rewatch a lot so I can't say which is most often, but I'll pick a couple.

The first Matrix movie is up there for me. I think it's the best one and I've rewatched it the most. I've rewatched the following two, but not as much. I thought the fourth one was weird and produced too late so not going to watch that one again.

There's an obscure movie called Hunter Prey (2010) that I've rewatched a lot. It's a low budget sci-fi, but it's almost like a play with limited settings, just a handful of actors, and limited special effects. I really like the story, actors, and setting plus the music is good. Probably most people would think it's shit, but sometimes a low budget film can really nail it for me.

The judge.

Leaves everything behind to become this great lawyer but when the unfortunate happens he has to go back and come to terms with what he thought was once lost.

Not sure why I keep watching it but I do enjoy how it develops.

2012, Wolf of Wall Street and the back to the future trilogy

[–] MrSlicer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ghostbusters. Saw it hundreds of times as a kid. Still watch it every few years.

[–] TheBurlapBandit@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Redline is my guilty pleasure movie. I watch it at least 3x a year to marvel at the animation.

[–] wcSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

There's a few for me but I'm going to go with A Knight's Tale and The Other Guys. Can't get enough of those 2

[–] atthecoast@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

The original Matrix movie

[–] Flyspeck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Pee Wee's Big Adventure as a child and too many Michael Bay Transformers sequels as an adult due to their frequency on FX and now Pluto TV. I think Dark of the Moon is aired most often.

[–] whysofurious@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Strangely enough, the Underworld series. Ah and yes all the Back to the Future movies, I would rewatch them a thousand times more.

[–] UtiAnimi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

It is somehow my goto "comfort"-movie

[–] lingh0e@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In the theater? Boogie Nights.

My friend and I didn't know a goddamn thing about Paul Thomas Anderson when we went to the premiere. All we knew was that Heather Graham got naked in this movie about porn stars. We'd both had massive crushes on Heather ever since License to Drive... A crush which was only strengthened by her appearance in Swingers.

It turned out that the great nudity was only a bonus to what ended up being an amazing film with brilliant performances from everyone... INCLUDING Marky Mark. My friend and I ended up going to see Boogie Nights on the big screen close to 20 times. It helped that I had just gotten a job as an usher at a theater when the movie got it's second run, so we could see it for free. It also became a point of local pride since PTA was North East Ohio television royalty, and my friend and I wanted to follow in his footsteps

[–] ScrivenerX@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For me, it was, sadly, Final Fantasy Spirits Within.

I don't like the movie, but when it was in theaters every one of my friends wanted to see it, and schedules didn't line up. Buddy is in town for 3 days "hey let's see a movie!" Every time it ended up being that damn movie.

I ended up seeing it in the theaters 10 times.

The lady that was having sex with everyone at the party was the oddest thing. That was totally not a healthy relationship.

The Dark Knight.

[–] Poeticbiscuit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I only usually rewatch films whenever I feel like I'd need a pick-me-up. Something light-hearted, so I'd usually go for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

But during my recent movie marathon, I discovered more films which are actually good contenders for a rewatch such as The Fundamentals of Caring (highly recommended) and The Land of Steady Habits.

[–] wakamo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Hateful Eight. The acting, pacing, dialogue all 10/10 IMO. It just feels cozy watching it.

[–] Fluba@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

As a kid, my top ones:

  • The Sandlot
  • The Mighty Ducks
  • Rookie of the Year
  • Hook

As an adult:

  • Superbad
  • I Love You, Man
  • Pineapple Express
  • Almost Famous
[–] imkmiaw@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Just one, Interstellar. I don't watch a lot of movies but that one just hits different, I've watched it 7 times, could watch it again.

I saw Matrix 2-3 times when I was a kid, but no more than that.

[–] KiofKi@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Spun

At least once a year this one is a must.
