We all have those movies we've seen several times over. Here's my list:

James Bond movies

Diamonds Are Forever - 11x

On Her Majesty's Secret Service - about 7x

Live and Let Die - about 7 x

Moonraker - about 7 x

For Your Eyes Only - about 7 x

View To a Kill - about 4 x

The World is Not Enough - approx 4 x

Eddie Murphy

Beverly Hills Cop - the original - 5 x (opening chase scene only - forward and reverse - about 20x)

Trading Places - about 5 x

Other

Body Heat - 9x - I had to see it a second time to unravel the intricacy of the plot...and then I got hooked. Don't leave the room/theater in the last 15 minutes for the "yearbook scene."

Which movies qualify you as an OCD freak?

I've probably seen ghost dog about 10 times, harold and kumar and van wilder a couple dozen each...

pi i watched maybe four times, each time getting a whole new appreciation for the movie. (each time I watched it I was like, "oh NOW i get it". i don't see this changing soon.)

Brokeback Mountain, 4 times, if you're talking about paying for a ticket at a movie theater.

Of course, I've seen several other movies "accidentally" multiple times.

Clue

The Craft

Half Baked

The New Guy

Double Take

The Matrix Trilogy

Better Off Dead

and a whole lot more....

Half Baked

Clerks

Mallrats

Back to the Future trilogy

I think I've probably seen Bullitt, Vanishing Point, Duel and Ronin at least 10 times each... I've seen Heat, To Live and Die in LA, Collateral, and LA Confidential probably 5 times each.. The original Star Wars trilogy I've seen probably 5 times, and many of the James Bond movies that many times.

Alien 1 & 2

Torch Song Trilogy

Body Heat - amazing

Monty Python Meaning of LIfe - I love the grim reaper!

Ground Hog Day

Man Facing Southeast - amazing Argentinan movie

Clerks - must see for anyone in retail

2001 a space odyssey

Star Wars 4-5-6

Apocalypse Now Redux

A Clockwork orange

The Exorcist

Pink Panther -6 films

   Body Heat - amazing

 

Isn't it, though? Slinky, deceptive and intelligent. Wow. The first time you will miss some of the subleties...the second time you will make all the connections. The cast was great and so was the acting. The jazz score was ultra-sexy and top notch - wouldn't expect anything less from the guy who scores the music for 007 films.

Great line from Oscar, the black chief of police in the town:

"You brought this upon yo'self, man, people hear you be out there bangin' the widow, it tends to call attention to you."

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl

All three Austin Powers movies

Night Shift (Henry Winkler and Michael Keaton)

Ground Hog Day

Airplane

So I Married an Axe Murderer

Allegro Non Troppo

Cinema Paradiso

Sin City...

If I were a movie.... That would be me

Eliminating the few I own copies of (Christine, The Crow, Brazil, The Car)... 5 times or more (via TV/renting; I've never watched the same movie twice in a theater):

House on Haunted Hill, Jaws, Dawn of the Dead 2004, As Good As It Gets, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Back to the Future trilogy, Alien/Aliens, Matrix, I'm sure a bunch more....

DOTD '04 is close to high art in my book. I need to buy a copy....

99% of the time I do not watch a movie twice in one decade. BUT, there's a few 'sexceptions' like "Hot Blondes XXIII".

All joking aside I can only think of a few I've seen more than twice in les than a year.

"Anchorman"

"Christine"

"The Matrix"

"Star Wars, Episode 1"

"Goodfellas"

"Casino"

"The Ring"

"Fast & Furious II"

(well not watched as much as fast forwarded the DVD to the LeMans Blue Yenko Super Camaro)

"Billy Madison"

"Joe Dirt"

"Dodgeball"

"South Park Bigger, Longer, Uncut"

To be honest these comedies I watched multiple times only in a "Party" setting. Few friends over, conversations aplenty and you just want something in the background.

Clue (just funny)

Clueless (reminds me of the girls in h.s.)

Matrix

Life is Beautiful (La vita è bella)

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (when winding down a party and going to sleep)

Not Another Teen Movie (same as above)

Titanic (yeah, I know)

Poltergeist (still freaks me a little)

The Craft (love this movie)

American Pie (when this first came out, I was in tears laughing)

Saved!

(Go rent it.....right now!.....go!)

Forgot: Road Trip!

A Beautiful Mind

Edited March 2, 200620 yr by Paolino

Night Shift (Henry Winkler and Michael Keaton)

UNBELIEVABLE....makes you want to strangle Michael Keaton. SO FUNNY.

Remember the poem that Lupe, the Puerto Rican prostitute, recited to them at the Christmas party in the morgue:

You take us off the city streets

And give us nicer men to meets

We have dresses furs and nice things to wear

And even go to Vidal Sassoon's to fix up our hair

We moved into nice apartment houses

Instead of living with the "ratones" and the mouses

Tonight, because of you, are joy is jumping

Because we are at this party instead of humping

Yes, I've seen that a handful of times as well.

Joe Dirt

Harold and Kumar go to whitecastle

gone in 60 seconds

Cowboys gone wild

Smokey and the Bandit

Top Gun

Days of Thunder

Dirty Harry

Back to the Future

American Graffitti

Excluding all the movies I watched over and over as a young child (though Dunston Checks In gets an honorable mention), here's my list:

The Breakfast Club (3)

Top Gun (3)

Clueless (3)

Office Space (3)

Toy Story (3)

Titanic (3)

American Beauty (around 5 times)

Wet Hot American Summer (I've seen it at least 10)

cannot think of any others...

ETA: consistency, Office Space and Toy Story

Edited March 3, 200620 yr by Croc

I thought Office Space would be on the list.

I've seen it once...hysterically funny...especially the Middle Eastern guy...and I need to see it a few more times.

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Godfather Trilogy

Sixth Sense

Sixteen Candles

Jackass

Secret Window.

I've seen it about 5 times so far because the concept is entertaining.

It's a pretty good movie, although it would have been much better if it followed Stephen King's novella "Secret Window, Secret Garden" much closer. I mean, parts are word for word, but, in the book, the ending is 100 per cent different and Shooter never really has that much of a personal appearance execpt on one or two occasions.

And I guess I like it because I sort of relate to Mort Rainey in someway I don't even get...probably because I plan on writing crap for a living, yes, and I already consider myself to be somewhat of a freelance writer (although none of the $h! I call a short story I kick my Converses in have never been printed...and probably never will be) and never want to be accused of plagarism under any condition.

Add to that...

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle

Euro Trip

Misery

The Waterboy

Edited March 3, 200620 yr by YellowJacket894

American Wedding

Napoleon Dynamite

Waterboy

Butterfly Effect

Van Wilder 4 SURE

also I watch The Goonies on a regular basis!

Saved!

(Go rent it.....right now!.....go!)

I've heard VERY good things about this movie.

Yeah, it's pretty good, I saw it in the theater.

Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point - two words.

Another two words: "pointy" titties.

See Vanishing Point and you will know what I mean.

I've only seen it once but that's all I remember: the car (Mopar garbage) and what I wrote above.

Sorry, Croc, brain fart on my behalf.

You DID list "Office Space."

It's SOOO stupid, that it's insanely funny.

Anchorman

Fargo;

Vertigo;

White Heat

Sorry, Croc, brain fart on my behalf.

You DID list "Office Space."

It's SOOO stupid, that it's insanely funny.

No, I saw your post then added it, hence the ETA: consistency, Office Space and Toy Story

back to the future, like 40 times.

doc hollywood, like 20 times.

while you were sleeping, like 20 times

love potion number 9 like 20 times

then there are all those old TBS staples, like Uncle Buck, Ferris Bueller, Breakfast club, etc.

BLOODSPORT! at least 10 times.

dirty dancing and cocktail, about 10 times each

CUTTING EDGE, about 20 times.

Wild Things, about 10 times. but not recently.

Edited March 5, 200620 yr by regfootball

oooooooooo I've seen Bueller three times!!

OK Everyone I know has seen Uncle Buck but I...this is so not fair.

Dude, rent it. Microwave some corn and make a party of it.

Umm, I've seen Clerks 5 or 6 times, because all my friends say I act like Randal and want to see it with me. After that, there aren't too many movies that i watch fanatically. Donnie Darko's my favorite movie, and I've only seen it 3 times. I haven't really wanted to watch movies over and over again since I was a kid.

There's no way I'm watching a movie alone...that's just pathetic I might as well be drinking alone...I just gotta find ONE person who hasn't seen Uncle Buck...preferably female...hmmm

What kind of car does Candy drive in that movie... it's a big ol' American boat, I remember that much...

Oooh, I don't know.

And, Croc, you're not going to find anybody who hasn't seen it. Sit down and watch it!

Umm, I haven't seen it. what's it about?

There's no way I'm watching a movie alone...that's just pathetic I might as well be drinking alone...I just gotta find ONE person who hasn't seen Uncle Buck...preferably female...hmmm

what's wrong with drinking alone?

Because drinking with bros and hos is much more fun.

One time.. at band camp.. I drank milk with my friends. Is that kind of what you mean?

It's been a looong time since I've seen that movie, but it was something like a '76 Mercury Grand Marquis 2dr in typical '70s brown, I think...

One time.. at band camp.. I drank milk with my friends. Is that kind of what you mean?

No. But that is a great movie.
