2001, close to 40 times…and only in theaters. (I’ve never watched it on TV.)

Boogie Nights, close to 50 times…perhaps half of those on the big screen.

Gatsby,

Goddamn Mr moneybags over here.

I literally don’t have anything valuable enough I could sell to afford 40 movie theatre tickets, other than my car

See my response (above)–that’s over many, many years.

MementoMori,

Was this all in one go or do you just have a local theater that really loves to show it?

Those viewings of “2001” are over a multi-year period, beginning in April, 1968. Same with “Boogie Nights”–many viewings since 1997.

Just Because I didn’t see it mentioned:

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly and Tombstone

meathorse,

Not a movie but Band of Brothers is on top of the annual revisit list for the past 15 years

Closely followed by 5th Element & Starship Troopers

cpressland,

Star Trek: First Contact

ImmortanStalin,

Terminator 2. Dozens of times, multiple formats. Never gets old!

I have not thought about this before but thinking back I guess the movie I have re-watched the most is Contact. I don’t know why I just like it. I really don’t re-watch movies that much. I do re-watch TV series quite often (HACF is the most re-watched).

The Boondock Saints or The Matrix for me, both way over a dozen times.

So many good lines/references in Boondock Saints between the rope, the cat, and Willem Dafoe. Fantastic movie, sequels were kinda of meh.

Hackers and Grosse Pointe Blank. Watched it almost every night to go to bed for years on VHS.

Grosse Point Blank is not my favourite film of all time. But it’s the only one I’ve ever been able to honestly give a perfect 10/10 score.

The story, the cast, the script, the pacing, obviously the soundtrack, there is just not a single flaw I can find.

Isn't Grosse Pointe Blank from around '98 or '99?
That's when VHS was on its' very last legs. I think my first DVD player was from around 2001, by that time the graph line of DVD rising and VHS falling had already intersected, and this was in Mexico, I'm not sure when other parts of the world made the transition, say in the US, Europe or Japan it happened earlier.

dubble_deee,

Hackers is a great choice, it’s so cheesy but it just draws you in and completely suspends your beliefs. Every character is likeable and the lines are so well delivered, man now I got to rewatch it. Terminator 2, hackers, and Pokemon 1st gen probably made more SDEs than any stem outreach program.

There’s a good set of movies I rewatch a lot so I can’t say which is most often, but I’ll pick a couple.

The first Matrix movie is up there for me. I think it’s the best one and I’ve rewatched it the most. I’ve rewatched the following two, but not as much. I thought the fourth one was weird and produced too late so not going to watch that one again.

There’s an obscure movie called Hunter Prey (2010) that I’ve rewatched a lot. It’s a low budget sci-fi, but it’s almost like a play with limited settings, just a handful of actors, and limited special effects. I really like the story, actors, and setting plus the music is good. Probably most people would think it’s shit, but sometimes a low budget film can really nail it for me.

ClaretNBlue,

American History X, Pulp Fiction, Heat… I could go on and on

johnthebeboptist, (edited )

The Thing,

Naked Lunch,

Evil Dead 1 & 2,

The Big Lebowski,

Videodrome,

Alien,

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,

For a Few Dollars More,

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,

Lost Highway & Mulholland Drive,

The Fountain, Pi, The Holy Mountain, El Topo, Princess Mononoke, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Big Trouble in Little China, The Wicker Man (the og)

And I probably watched Donnie Darko and Ichi the Killer enough times as a teen that they both reach the top

God I watch a lot of movies still.

e:typo, not Donnie Dario

This list of yours needs Werner Herzog's Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo in there.

sarahcanary,

Wow, that’s an eclectic mix of rewatches! I’m with you on Alien.

johnthebeboptist,

Lol, haha, I never thought about that. I used to watch a shit-ton of movies as a teen. Got into horror movies, David Lynch and weird stuff early on so I kind of dove into the deep end very early and with no social life there was a lot of time to watch a lot of stuff.

I seem to be having a phase where I don’t really watch movies that much (series more than ever), but when I do it’s usually kind of “comfort food” so I’m mostly watching all-time favorites over and over again.

We have strangely similar taste, I’ve seen all these movies, and they’re all amazing

Whitehorse,

The Fifth Element and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

sparky678348,

The Martin Freeman hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy, easily. I watch that every year on my birthday
