By choice: Growing up, I watched Strange Brew with my friends uncountable times.
Not by choice: for 10 years I worked slinging tvs in a hifi store. I watched the following movies so many times.
A few Iβve not seen mentioned -
Clue Remo unarmed and dangerous Dead men donβt wear plaid Taken Tremors 1 & 2, not the rest North by northwest Stardust
Both Grumpy Old Men movies are watched every single year at least once.
"Hot Rod", "Accepted", or "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
In no particular order besides alphabetical (all movies rewatched over a dozen times):
There are many more, but I'm not gonna sit here and try to remember them all.
It's a Wonderful Life. Every year on Christmas, and every year I can relate with George just a little bit more. I've even seen a stage version of it love!
Gangs of Wasseypur. It's a 5-hour movie, split into two parts. But really, it's just one epic story. I've watched it countless number of times. While in college, me and my mates would get high and watch this movie. I've probably watched it with most of my friends at least once.
Two other movies that come close are Pulp Fiction and Bhooter Bhobishyot.
Kid- Clash of the Titans (eighties version)
Cable years - Shawshank Redemption (it is still ALWAYS on)
recent/streaming- Avengers or GotG
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.
Mononoke Home / Princess Mononoke
Chronicles of Riddick, King Arthur - Legend of the Sword, Pirates of the Caribbean series, LOTR series.
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
Greg does the best impression of Wiseau ever. You can find him read the whole book. It's hilarious

Just saw Primer for the first time, so I'm gonna need to preemptively answer: Primer.
Ooooh I completely forgot Primer!
Ferris buellers day eternal sunshine for the spotless mind the green mile ice age a waking life.
Freddy got fingered, to the point a friend and me could retell the whole movie word for word.
Ocean's Eleven
"...the Rat Pack one with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin!"
Imagine some crazy guy saying that.
The Last Dragon or Ghostbusters, probably. I still watch those both at least once a year. So probably 50+ times for both of those.
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.
Iβm 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
American History X, Pulp Fiction, Heat.. I could go on and on
Airplane!
Surely you can't be serious.
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
