For me, it’s either the Matrix or Pulp Fiction. I have seen both a lot of times but certainly not more often than say a dozen times.

When I was younger, I rewatched Inception plenty of times because it was my favourite movie and because I keep seeing new details, learning new little things about the movie every time.

I have kids so I have to rewatch a lot of movies against my will. I think we’ve watched boss baby 2 nearly every day since Memorial Day.

When I was a kid, Mrs. Doubtfire and The Santa Clause. I don't rewatch movies as often as an adult.

The Shawshank Redemption

[–] MiracleManS@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Jurassic Park. The practical effects still hold up well and even the CGI is still passable.

Plus it's my favorite movie of all time.

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ghostbusters - have no idea how many times I've watched it, but it never disappoints.

[–] 0xd4n@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Friday the 13th the new blood, V for vendetta and hackers.

Star Trek: First Contact

[–] daddyrat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Moonstruck. It’s like watching a home movie of our family reunion.

I’ll say no more…

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Chasing Amy

First time I rented it out on VHS (yeah!) I watched it three times in a row and sill rewatch it every few years.

Hilarious and deep, I learned a lot from wat hing that movie.

Harry Potter!

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

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The original Independence Day, The Big Short, Jaws, Halloween, and Pacific Rim are all comfort movies that are on rotation whenever my husband or I are gone for work and I get lonely πŸ˜‚

[–] NerdyOldGeek@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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).

[–] wilberfan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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.

Back to the future is my jam. 1 2 or 3.

[–] Knightfall@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie so many times as a kid I can still lip sync most of the film to this day.

I've also watched Space Balls and Monty Python and the Holy Grail more times than I can count.

[–] Varyag@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

School of Rock, it kinda became a Christmas movie with my family, we watch it every year. Jingle All The Way with Arnold Schwarzenegger is the other one.
Then there's my personal favorite, Pacific Rim. I absolutely adore that movie, giant robots fighting kaijus. Too bad there was never a sequel.

[–] Ciari@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh man, I'm going to get made fun of for this, but... The Barbie movies. Especially The 12 Dancing Princresses. My sister and I watched it so many times as kids that we could quote the entire thing (we often did so while watching it lmao). Honestly just off the top of my head now I probably could quote a good 80-90 percent of it. We must have watched it more than a hundred times, not even exaggerating.

I used to know the guy who does the music for them. Our bands used to play together all the time like 15 years ago, and we would chat after the shows and online all the time. He's like the nicest guy I've ever met. I haven't talked to him in years, though.

Edit: To be clear though, he didn't do 12 Dancing Princesses. I'm pretty sure he would have been in middle school at the time. He does the newer ones.

I'm not much of an anime person (and maybe this movie gives that away), but Spirited Away is so magical. Just everything about it is so detailed, I'm entranced every time.

SWAT. Only because we didn't have cable and we couldn't get it unstuck from the VCR.

[–] cpressland@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Star Trek: First Contact

[–] PR_freak@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Shrek. I saw it every day for like 25 straight days.

[–] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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
