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.

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.

Both Grumpy Old Men movies are watched every single year at least once.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Kid- Clash of the Titans (eighties version)

Cable years - Shawshank Redemption (it is still ALWAYS on)

recent/streaming- Avengers or GotG

[–] SpooneyOdin@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I gotta go with Primer because it pretty much is necessary to re-watch it multiple times to understand what is going on.

[–] paulchartres@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] RedC@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Drive Thru. It's a B rate slasher horror flick. Highly entertaining and always a recommendation.

[–] herc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

These are the movies on the top of my head I've watched more than 20 times.

  • Batman: Dark knight
  • Orange clockwork, Eyes wide shut, Dr. Strangelove
  • Before sunrise and before sunset. Third one is kinda cringe.
  • Shawshank Redemption

I love rewatching "monster" movies. Like The Mummy, Deep Blue Sea, and Lake Placid.

[–] manwithabox@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

[–] gamer99@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I’m 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

"...the Rat Pack one with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin!"
Imagine some crazy guy saying that.

[–] Prootje@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Freddy got fingered, to the point a friend and me could retell the whole movie word for word.

[–] rynzcycle@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

My family watched this so many times! We named our cat Max. My adult children got Powerline t-shirts last Christmas.
