Peter Jackson’s lord of the rings trilogy extended edition. I bought a 4k tv and bluray player just for the 4k release last summer I think it was. (not the shitty hobbit)
We do an extended edition marathon at least twice a year, sometimes more if it’s been a tough time. Last time we watched them was the week before getting married, to distract me from my stress.
I’m currently rereading the books and once that’s done we’ll do our first marathon as marrieds! 😄
I simultaneously hate to think, and also am very proud, of how many times we must have seen them by now.
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.
Anytime they pop up we watch Casino Royale, Groundhog Day, Family Stone. We were late picking friends up at the airport yesterday because we were sitting in a hotel watching Grease. I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but it’s exhausting to watch so i sometimes skip it.
I was thinking of various movies that constantly run on TV, but your comment made me realize that Cars or Polar Express is probably the correct answer. My son was obsessed with those movies when he was young and we had them on constant rotation.
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.
Oh snap, that would be fun to rip through! Read the book a while back and had a proper hoot with it. Dude has so many stories after bombing around with ol’ Tommy
