What movie have you seen the most times?

Hard to say. In a technical sense it's probably something I watched a lot as a kid just because it was around and I liked it, like Cabin Boy or something.

But having grown up a bit and thinking only of "serious" viewings where I was paying a fair amount of attention, there's probably a four-way tie (or nearly so) between Up, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Dark Knight, The Departed, each of which I've probably seen about 7-8 times, give or take. The Shawshank Redemption is probably one or two viewings back.

Star Wars, without a doubt.

Wizard of Oz, The movie has been my favorite since I was about 5 and saw it the first time, and I still watch it whenever I am sick, perfect watch while your sick movie.

I think that would probably be The Lion King. I was 1 when it came out, and I'm pretty sure it was the first movie I saw at a cinema (not that that has much to do with it ). But in the last 17 years, I'd be willing to bet I've seen it all the way through - at varying degrees of attention-paying - probably 50-60 times at least.

The Godfather, Caddyshack, Die Hard and probably the first X-Men.

a l i e n

Either Jurassic Park or Jaws, but more than likely Jurassic Park.

4. Ghostbusters
4 times in the theatre.


Bill Murray at his sharpest, proton packs, sliming goblins, a key master, a gatekeeper, a giant marshmellow man, streams crossing and a really big "Twinkie".
Oh, and also, a really crappy theme song. Let's not forget that really crappy song.





3. Raiders Of The Lost Ark
5 times in a theatre.


These days no matter how much I try to assimilate with all the other adults my age, most of whom have had they're childhood spirits crushed along time ago, Raiders a film with alot affection for me, that never fail to bring a smile to my now grown-up hairy pimp-ass.
This early blockbuster that not only shaped the way I enjoy watching movies, but also, it also contributes to the foundation of why going to the theatre & having the experience of being swept away by what is playing on the big silver screen has become one the greatest joys in my life.





2. Temple Of Doom
6 times.


I am one of in the minority who likes this better than the Last Crusade. While I feel that LC's story was stronger & more down to Earth, for me, the Temple Of Doom action's sequences, while many times cartoonishly unrealistic, still were done with a lot of energy & suspense. Plus, IMO, the stunts didn't seem to try to copy the first Indy film as much as LC did. I remember all the hootin' & hollerin' that was going on the theatre during TOD, whereas LC, as exciting as it was, didn't seem to invoke as much from the audience (at least, that was the case when I went to go see it). And when it comes to listing my favorites, there are times where my experience in the theatre tends to influence my take on the film.





1. Aliens
16 times. I saw this frikkin' movie 16 times in a theatre.


This entry goes to show how carefree the life of an adolescent is.
Only a kid with absolutely no responsibilities should be goin' to the theatre that many times.

Braveheart - 11 times in theater

Michael Mann's "Heat"

and

Guy Ritchie's "Lock, stock and two smoking barrels"

Probably Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and Terminator 2. Used to watch one of the 3 on VCR every day after school.

As far as adult life is concerned.

Bourne 1 and 2
Dark Knight/Batman Begins.
LOTR 1 and 2
The Prestige.

I feel I have spoiled some of these films from far too much viewing. Especially Star Wars. I cant bear to watch it anymore.

As for theatre visits,

Attack of the Clones 5 times.
Matrix Reloaded 5 times.
Two towers 4 times.
Home alone 4 times (i think)

I've also seen The Polar Express pretty much every Christmas since it came out - against my will I might add.
