Ask Lemmy

Lord of the Rings.

The Princess Bride. It's such a fun adventure that still holds up really well today.

Spaceballs, Ghostbusters (original), LotR, Labyrinth, The Holy Grail…

Another entry for me would be "Robin Hood (1973)". I haven't rewatched it in a long time, but as kids we (my brother and me) wanted to watch that movie over and over again. I've seen it more than ten times at least.

The Matrix. No other movie is even close

Probably Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation since it has been tradition every holiday season.

As a kid, Rescuer's Down Under or The Paper Brigade was re-watched a lot.

Apart from that, it's a close tie for:

• The Matrix
• Sin City
• The Chronicles of Riddick
• Terminator 2
• The Sandlot
• I, Robot
• Joe Dirt

Just good replay value.

Office Space. The Usual Suspects used to be on TV all the time back in the day and is probably a close second.

The Big Lebowski

Monty Python and the Holy Grail or The Fifth Element.

Airplane!

Monty Python's The Holy Grail

Home Alone. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I don't really rewatch movies anymore. There is so much content out there that I haven't watched, I would rather see something new than just rewatch something that I've already seen.

Groundhog Day

Hackers

As a child: Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer

As a university student: Heat, Léon, 2001

As an adult, before kids: Sicario, Brick

As an adult, after kids: Cars

What I wish my answer was: Koyaanisqatsi

I have seen Kung Pow: Enter the Fist over a hundred times easily

Top Gun. With all combinations of subtitles and dubs available.

Don't ask.

It's been a while... but the most I have watched is The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Still know all the songs by heart :)

I have a few that will be very close as I decided a bit over a decade ago to limit myself to one rewatch a year of each to stop myself sucking all the joy out of them:

• Alien - my favorite survival horror

• Aliens - my favorite Nam movie

• Jaws - my favorite version of Moby Dick, although I really like Godzilla Minus One take on Jaws

• Jurassic Park - best big stompy monster film for me

• Lord of the Rings - this is always over Christmas. Its not faithful enough for me to the books but it still manages to be an outstanding Trilogy.

• Emperors New Groove - favorite body swap film

The Other Guys. At first glance, it's a buddy cop comedy that harkens back to Lethal Weapon, but with humor typical to ~2010. But, the more you watch it, the more Zucker brothers esque, 1980s surrealist comedy influences you notice. One of the most subtly weird and funny movies to me, I've probably seen it, no lie, 10 or 15 times.

Nobody has said Die Hard?!?

It's a little embarrassing, but I think it's Scary Movie (all of them, but especially the first one)

The Shawshank Redemption.

Probably "The Man from Earth". Just such a good and well told story.

• Liar, Liar
• Office Space
• Happy Gilmore
• The Fifth Element
• Ace Ventura 2
• Nat. Lampoons Christmas Vacation
• Planes, Trains & Automobiles
• The Big Lebowski

Not completely by my own choice, but I feel like I've seen National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - at least in part - once or more per holiday season since it was released.

The same is true of Elf, but obviously that movie is quite a bit more recent.

For movies I've watched the most by my own choice, it's probably the Kill Bills or Inglorious Basterds, but those have got to be way behind in raw count. Goonies and the Back to the Future series probably have honorable mentions because of how long they've been around and continue to be a fun watch.

The Big Lebowski

Jurassic Park and it isn't even close

Spirited away... Something about the first opening notes of the piano when that movie starts always moves me and fills me with such warm feelings.

Honestly most studio Ghibli movies I've watched a lot... But man... Spirited away does something to me.

Strangely enough Shawshank Redemption

Clue

Kung Fury. It's a short film, so maybe that's cheating. Regardless, I love the writing. It's the perfect blend of absurdity and over the top action. It's a Swedish made film that's a satire of 80's cop and Kung fu movies. Free to watch on YouTube.

It's probably Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead or Wayne's World those were on replay for much of my childhood into my teens.

The Blues Brothers

Not sure but these are on repeat at my house:

Lord of the Rings trilogy

Hot Fuzz

Into the Spiderverse

Pride and Prejudice, the one with Keira Knightly

So one of them but not sure which.

Seven/ Se7en I know most of it's dialogue by heart. Went to see it at the theater when it premiered and stayed to watch it three more times, it blew my mind! I had never seen anything like it. It is my favorite movie of all time.

Firefly

I think Lotr movies.

Gotta be a tie between Milo and Otis and the og spongebob movie

saving private ryan, just such a good movie. and a Christmas story every year

Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade

Saw this one so many times when I was younger

Hook. Forrest Gump.

Napoleon Dynamite, loved that movie in High school and it's been a comfort movie ever since. Funny and easily quotable, it's a staple in my house.

Fight Club, but I can't talk about it.

• grammas boy
• back to the future (all of them)
• Ace ventura
• the mask
• good will hunting
• Beetlejuice
• hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

Joe Versus The Volcano (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0099892/) is my all time re-watch movie. So many themes, great cinematography, and very mythic.

If you've never seen it, your in for a treat!
