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.

Friday the 13th the new blood, V for vendetta and hackers.
The Boondock Saints or The Matrix for me, both way over a dozen times.

"The thing" is always a great watch and worth coming back to.
Raiders of the Lost Ark, Mad Max: Fury Road, A Knight's Tale, Tokyo Godfathers, Life Aquatic.
I've seen them all at least 5-10 times fully and probably more times partially. It's definitely a wide spectrum, and one of them is not what you would call a "good" movie compared to the others. I'll let you decide which, but I'm hella not ashamed.

While you were sleeping, I was so much in love with Sandra Bullock! π
I Love You Man, my comfort movie and one I never get sick of or fails to pick me up
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.

When I was a kid, Mrs. Doubtfire and The Santa Clause. I don't rewatch movies as often as an adult.
Fifth Element, Snatch, Galaxy Quest, Predator, Commando, Hot Fuzz.
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.
I have kids so I have to rewatch a lot of movies against my will. I think weβve watched boss baby 2 nearly every day since Memorial Day.

Ghostbusters - have no idea how many times I've watched it, but it never disappoints.
John Carpenter's The Thing Must've seen it a dosen times by now. Secondly I think I could watch no country for old men on repeat without being bored of it
Moonstruck. Itβs like watching a home movie of our family reunion.
Iβll say no moreβ¦
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 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.
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 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 π
Terminator 2. Dozens of times, multiple formats. Never gets old!
Back to the future is my jam. 1 2 or 3.
Harry Potter!
SWAT. Only because we didn't have cable and we couldn't get it unstuck from the VCR.
Star Trek: First Contact
Shawshank Redemption
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.

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.
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
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.
Star Trek: First Contact
Shrek. I saw it every day for like 25 straight days.
The Martian and Clerks!!
