I've definitely seen The Prestige (2006) the most in my adult life, it was my taste-barometer when showing a new friend or date when I was in my 20s.

But we had the The Mummy (1999) recorded from TV on a VHS growing up and I recked that shit. I probably watched that film 30-40 times, between childhood days off sick and rewatching intermitently in adulthood.

Honourable mention to Love Actually; thanks mum.

For me, it's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990). I was a huge TMNT fan, and I wrecked that tape by watching it so many times.

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

shell yeah, did you get around the sequels?

[–] NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yup. I even saw TMNT 3 in theaters - I don't get the hate it's earned.

I've probably seen LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring at least 20-30 times. I'm guessing 15 or so for two towers, and 10 for ROTK.

But FOTR is the perfect movie and I could watch it again and again on repeat if I had to.

The Room actually. I feel obligated to show it to everyone, particularly with Rifftrax commentary.

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

You know. I guess the Rifftrax versions of Street Fighter 2 and Super Mario Bros. are way up on my list for that same reason.

And the Ice Cream Bunny.

The Blues Brothers is one of my all time favorite movies. I got some beefy speakers and the neighbours have been enjoying this movie with me many times.

Somewhat unusually I enjoy BB 2000 as well, it would be unfair to expect it to be as good but it's a nice movie, except for the ridiculous zombie playoff part.

The Blues Brothers

The Blues Brothers?...They still owe you money, fool.

Hard to say between The Shawshank Redemption or The Princess Bride.

Groundhog Day (somewhat ironically) and Ferris Bueller's Day Off

[–] nevernevermore@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

i think i inadvertantly watched groundhog day 10 times becasue it was always playing on free to air tv as a kid

I think I've watched Jaws 30-40 times. I used to know it word for word.

[–] nevernevermore@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The Goonies and Pump Up the Volume followed closely by Indiana Jones (1&3) and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

[–] nevernevermore@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

my partner introduced me to the goonies for the first time a couple years ago and I've seen it 3 or 4 more times since, it's an awesome film

The Lost Boys, cheesy vampire movie from the '80s. I used to watch it every night when I was a kid, and I still watch it every now and then. I've probably seen it hundreds of times.

The Ugly Dachshund.

I had a VHS tape with a bunch of cartoons and that movie that I'd watch all the time as a kid.

I later found out that my parents would put that tape on and then have sex, as it's the only thing that would guarantee them at least an hour of peace.

How I only have one sibling is beyond me as I must have seen that film a hundred times.

It's not even a good movie, and I was mostly watching it so I could get to the Chip and Dale cartoon at the end. It was the one with Donald Duck making pancakes. That was pretty great.

There were no children in the movie, so I suspect everyone who was in it is dead by now.

By choice? Monty Python and the Holy Grail or Fired Up. I watched them both roughly monthly for a half a decade and could recite them both nearly line for line in high school.

Under duress? Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron. It was the only movie in my dad's SUV for about a decade and I've probably seen that movie more times than literally anything else because of that.
