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.

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

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

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.

The Matrix

Every rewatch I notice something new

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

Ice Station Zebra

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

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

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.

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.

[–] toffi@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Revolutionary_Pi@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Im28xwa@lemdro.id 2 points 2 years ago

Maybe Thor Ragnarok

[–] herc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Definitely Bio Dome!

[–] wakamo@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] dadasdair@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] rynzcycle@kbin.social 2 points 2 years 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.

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

The Batman. Dune

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

Anytime they pop up we watch Casino Royale, Groundhog Day, Family Stone. We were late picking friends up at the airport yesterday because we were sitting in a hotel watching Grease. I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but it's exhausting to watch so i sometimes skip it.

[–] tigaente@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

For me American Pie (was the first movie I've watched in English, when I was finding out you could switch languages on dvd), followed by the Matrix.

Just one, Interstellar. I don't watch a lot of movies but that one just hits different, I've watched it 7 times, could watch it again.

I saw Matrix 2-3 times when I was a kid, but no more than that.

In the theater? Boogie Nights.

My friend and I didn't know a goddamn thing about Paul Thomas Anderson when we went to the premiere. All we knew was that Heather Graham got naked in this movie about porn stars. We'd both had massive crushes on Heather ever since License to Drive... A crush which was only strengthened by her appearance in Swingers.

It turned out that the great nudity was only a bonus to what ended up being an amazing film with brilliant performances from everyone... INCLUDING Marky Mark. My friend and I ended up going to see Boogie Nights on the big screen close to 20 times. It helped that I had just gotten a job as an usher at a theater when the movie got it's second run, so we could see it for free. It also became a point of local pride since PTA was North East Ohio television royalty, and my friend and I wanted to follow in his footsteps
