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.

Both LOTR and Harry Potter, marathon once in a while.

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

There are few of them for me, but maybe Warrior (2011) is the favourite go to movie for me. If I'm overwhelmed by anything, it helps me reset myself and put things in perspective and get me in the mindset to fight back and stay strong.

Definitely the Avatar movie, I mean the blue ones not TLA. I watched it when it came out, watched it several times with my family and friends. Lastly I watched it at IMAX, was a fantastic experience. Sadly second movie did not live up to my expectations.

Maybe Thor Ragnarok

Definitely Bio Dome!

Alien, Aliens and Predator. The Big Lebowski and the John Wick films are gaining traction more recently.

For me it Lord of the Rings and/or Harry Potter. Can't count how often I watched these masterpieces.

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

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

Practical Magic. It might be tied with Nightmare Before Christmas.

It was comfortable for me to watch them both often when I scored a VCR in my room.

Star Trek: First Contact or Insurrection

I used to fall asleep watching Twister on VHS. Something about the substandard quality and tracking sound really sealed the deal when I needed to catch some Zzz's.

I watched it so many times that I wore out the tape.

For me it's Casino. Easily my favorite movie.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hateful Eight. The acting, pacing, dialogue all 10/10 IMO. It just feels cozy watching it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As a kid, Tremors, Aliens, and Police Academy 4. Those were films we had on VHS (recorded from the TV). The first two were on the same 4h cassette, recorded in glorious long play mode and the write protection tab broken out for safety.

More than a dozen watches for each of those.

As an adult, there's a few had multiple watches. No idea what's the "most" but the ones that stick out are: Charlie's Angels - the mid 2000's one with Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Lu. Blade 2 The fast and the Furious The terminator Kill Bill

As a kid I spent probably a week sitting under a table in my room, rewatching A New Hope on a portable dvd player over and over and over. I thought that I should watch it until I had every line memorized, and then move onto ESB (which I never did for obvious reasons)

So probably ANH, followed by any other SW movie, then Mad Max Fury Road and Sicario
