Kid- Clash of the Titans (eighties version)

3 Idiots, a feel-good Indian movie.
All is well
Mononoke Home / Princess Mononoke
"Hot Rod", "Accepted", or "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
In no particular order besides alphabetical (all movies rewatched over a dozen times):
There are many more, but I'm not gonna sit here and try to remember them all.
Shawshank Redemption
Both Grumpy Old Men movies are watched every single year at least once.
A Silent Voice, really beautiful movie about bullying and redemption. I watched it a few years ago when I was in a really bad place, and it helped me a lot.
So there's several high caliber films I've seen a bunch, like Pulp Fiction, Memento, etc.. but I think the actual movie I've seen the most times is The Room.
For the uninitiated, The Room is the worst movie of all time. Tommy Wiseau wrote, produced, directed, and starred in this disasterpiece. It's so bad, they made a movie about the book about the making of The Room. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion for 90 minutes.
I've been responsible for many people's first viewings, which means I've seen it far, far more than I should. I almost got to meet Tommy and Greg (plays Tommy's best friend in film) at a screening but icy ass rain made the trek too dangerous.
I'd say it's a must see for anyone who enjoys film. Every other movie will feel better after comparing it to this flaming bag of garbage. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll say "wtf" at least 7 times.
You just convinced me to watch it, so either thank you or fuck you lmao I'll keep you posted
I gotta go with Primer because it pretty much is necessary to re-watch it multiple times to understand what is going on.
I have 2 answers.
By choice: Growing up, I watched Strange Brew with my friends uncountable times.
Not by choice: for 10 years I worked slinging tvs in a hifi store. I watched the following movies so many times.
Chronicles of Riddick, King Arthur - Legend of the Sword, Pirates of the Caribbean series, LOTR series.
Gangs of Wasseypur. It's a 5-hour movie, split into two parts. But really, it's just one epic story. I've watched it countless number of times. While in college, me and my mates would get high and watch this movie. I've probably watched it with most of my friends at least once.
Two other movies that come close are Pulp Fiction and Bhooter Bhobishyot.
Both LOTR and Harry Potter, marathon once in a while.
Probably A Goofy Movie. I had it on VHS and watched it over and over, the themes in it were just exactly what I needed to hear as a tween. It probably fell behind in the count for a while, but now I have Disney plus and rewatch it pretty regularly. And yes, I've seen the Atlanta episode, I had no idea, and it's hilarious.
My family watched this so many times! We named our cat Max. My adult children got Powerline t-shirts last Christmas.
Iβm not sure why but I will find myself rewatching Catch me if you can every couple of years on a whim. Something about it compels me
Grumpy Old Men:)
I love rewatching "monster" movies. Like The Mummy, Deep Blue Sea, and Lake Placid.
These are the movies on the top of my head I've watched more than 20 times.
Ice Station Zebra
Lord of The Rings. and I canβt count how many times it was. as a kid I had a weekly routine to watch at least one of the movies. oh dear how I love this trilogy
For me it Lord of the Rings and/or Harry Potter. Can't count how often I watched these masterpieces.
Ocean's Eleven
"...the Rat Pack one with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin!"
Imagine some crazy guy saying that.
Freddy got fingered, to the point a friend and me could retell the whole movie word for word.
Eurotrip
Beerfest, back to the future 1+2, the big lebowski are some of my repeat picks.
Superbad
Ferris buellers day eternal sunshine for the spotless mind the green mile ice age a waking life.
