What movie(s) have you seen the most times?

[3.14158675309]

I'm guessing that cult films will win out, such as Rocky Horror Picture Show.

For me, it is This is Spinal Tap, closely followed by MP's Holy Grail.

[Pierre.Suave]

1. Hello

welcome to DU...

[3.14158675309]

2. Thanks, jasonc! What say you about OP?

:shrug: :hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

4. I dont watch very many movies

Probably the one I have seen the most is either Spaceballs or Ferris Buellers Day Off.

[3.14158675309]

9. I own them both! Mel Brooks is comedic gold. Ferris Bueller is definitely Top Five!

May the Schwartz be with you!

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Probably Fight Club or Mulholland Drive.

Welcome to DU!

[3.14158675309]

5. Thanks, primate1!

Wow. I've never seen Mulholland Drive. Guess I should!

As for watching Fight Club-- that movie is like Lay's Potato Chips: once is definitely not enough! :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

7. Mulholland Drive is delightfully weird.

I'm a total David Lynch fanboy.

[XemaSab]

111. Fight Club, 6 times... MD, probably 15 times

I have some catching up to do. ;)

[ghostsofgiants]

112. In all honesty, I've seen both probably 40+ times.

[XemaSab]

113. I don't own Fight Club

and I saw MD three times in the theater. Then I got the DVD and watched it once a week for three months, but then I lost the DVD. :shrug:

I'm looking to get another copy of the DVD. Now that I've taken a bit of a break, I want to see if I see anything new in there. You see Laura and Ronette? :shrug: ;)

[Fire Walk With Me]

6. Pi, by Aronofsky.

I kid ;)

[ghostsofgiants]

10. It's got good rewatch value.

Kidding or not.

[3.14158675309]

17. I get it for the "pi" ref, though I've never seen the movie

I take it that you think it's a clunker? :shrug: :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

87. Actually it's a really good film.

[3.14158675309]

95. Excellent news! Thanks!

I'm going to start a list of films to see.

[Fire Walk With Me]

117. Seconding Primate1. "Pi" is a really neat film.

[Chan790]

8. The new hire videos for Starbucks...

I've quit that many times. Now I can never go back...I made damned sure of that the last time I quit. :woohoo:

Oh you mean a real movie. Probably something dumb like The Wizard of Oz. I don't like it, it was just on constantly when I was a kid and parents would make popcorn and make us watch it as a family.

[3.14158675309]

22. LOL

But that reminds me-- I've seen "Twister" quite a few times! :P

But you make a good point: the seasonal classics are a good bet, too! :hi:

[seemunkee]

11. Bladerunner

Apocolypse Now
A Clockwork Orange
The first 4 James Bond movies
Vertigo

[TZ]

12. Wow.

Let me just tell you that being a big fan of This is Spinal Tap and Holy Grail has given you a lifetime pass as a lounge lizard...
*Note to DuStrange---We need to start doing STQD (Spinal Tap quotation day) on the 11th again! :hi:

BTW, with a screenname like yours, I'm sure DuStrange (resident math geek) is gonna LOVE you....

[madinmaryland]

64. I guess it would be a toss-up for me.

Either Super Bowls 27 or 28, with 30 being a very satisfying victory!!!

:rofl:

[skooooo]

13. Blazing Saddles

:rofl:

Aw, hell, we'll take the Irish too!

[justabob]

14. Airplane!

The Princess Bride
The Empire Strikes Back

[3.14158675309]

26. Yes, yes, and yes!

Especially The Princess Bride! Classic! :hi:

[rcrush]

49. Do you like gladiator movies?

[3.14158675309]

51. Have you ever seen a grown man nekkid?

:rofl:

[Ptah]

15. Ok, I've got to ask, what does your handle "3.14158675309" mean?

:shrug:

[3.14158675309]

16. Hey, I should hold a contest!

I'll give you a hint: it certainly starts out as π.....

Overall, though, just a "pun" :-)

[dana_b]

18. do you live in San Francisco?

By the way, I'm with you ... "This Is Spinal Tap".

Jenny.. i got your number!!

[3.14158675309]

23. We have a WINNAH!

Good spot, dana_b! :woohoo:

Tap rulez! And actually, I'm in the Midwest. :hi:

[dana_b]

28. woo hoo!!

my prize??? go and watch Spinal Tap... again!

[3.14158675309]

37. Watch out for the combusting drummers!

:rofl: :hi:

[begin_within]

58. It means you're just one slice short of a pie

[WritingIsMyReligion]

21. It's pi, or the first many digits of it.

I was impressed. Wonderfully nerdy handle! :)

[3.14158675309]

24. For the full explanation of my nick, ask dana_b:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8378857#8378929

:hi:

[Ptah]

27. not quite

??=3.14158675309
pi=3.14159265359

[3.14158675309]

38. hehe look carefully at the last eight digits of my nick....

:P

[Ptah]

45. 867 5309

I didn't see that.
:thumbsup:

I use pi at work and it didn't look right.

[3.14158675309]

50. I love Pi! I love this website:

http://3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592.com/index314.html">π to 1 million places!

[hunter]

80. Much of the weirdness of decimal pi is a property of the number 5.

You may find this upsetting:

Pi = SUM_{k=0 to infinity} 16^-k [ 4/(8k+1) - 2/(8k+4) - 1/(8k+5) - 1/(8k+6) ]

All those decimal digits of pi are for naught unless you belong to the mystic cult of the number 5.

(Personally I think we'd have developed pocket anti-matter bombs and destroyed the planet thousands of years ago if we'd had one less finger on each hand... it was nature's little jokes to confuse our math.)

http://www.math.hmc.edu/funfacts/ffiles/20010.5.shtml

Jenny's approximation is pretty good, however. :P

[3.14158675309]

97. You lost me at "Much"

:rofl:

But you have turned me on to the prime number 5! :woohoo:

[surrealAmerican]

101. Whoa, that's awesome.

It never even occurred to me that calculating arbitrary digits of pi was possible.

[Tighelander]

19. Shaun of the Dead, Dirty Work, and Dodgeball

I watched each of them about eight times in rapid succession when I got the disks.

[3.14158675309]

25. I've only seen Dodgeball

Hey, welcome to DU! :rofl: :hi:

[Rob H.]

61. Right there with you on 'Shaun of the Dead'

Hot Fuzz (Pegg and Frost's second movie) is one I've watched a bunch of times, too.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[tigereye]

85. Hot Fuzz is hilarious!

[rcrush]

20. I've seen Fifth Element about 500 times.

There was one summer where thats all I watched on VHS all day everyday.

[dana_b]

30. wow!

did you have a crush on someone in it or was the story just that great?

[rcrush]

35. Well Milla Jovovich was just stupid hot in that movie

But I loved the movie itself it was just so much fun.

[3.14158675309]

34. Wow. Just wow.

Have it memorized? :shrug: :P

I had a friend who memorized The Wizard of Oz. It was really funny to hear him go through all of the dialog, using voicing.

[rcrush]

36. Used to.

This was when I was 16 so I havent watched it all day in a long time. But I recently bought it on blu ray and they remastered it. It looks fucking beautiful.

[Tighelander]

44. I Didn't like it the first time I saw it.

but a couple of years later I saw it on video at a friends house, and started noticing things like how the police looked like a French comic book, and how one part was like Looney Tunes cartoon and I was hooked.

[Iggo]

60. Me and the niece love that one.

Leeloo Dallas! Multi-Pass!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVbI4Dla5ts&feature=related


EDIT: I spelled "niece" wrong again. Again!

[charlie and algernon]

29. Jurassic Park

I can say nearly all the lines before the characters say them, lol

[3.14158675309]

42. That movie literally blew me away

that first shot of the Brachiosaur and the pan to the lake was astounding. Along with the crescendo of John WIlliams' score, that was probably the most influential cinematic moment ever for me. :hi:

[charlie and algernon]

54. easily

that's a legendary scene. It's unfortunate that the sequals couldn't recapture the magic and the wonderment of that scene

[applegrove]

31. The Sound of Music, Pretty Woman, Bridget Jones' Diary.

[TZ]

32. Princess Bride.

Its INCONCEIVABLE for any other movie to even be close.

[gblady]

33. Brokeback Mountain....

followed by The Sound of Music...

go figure :shrug:

[rcrush]

39. Does porn count?

[3.14158675309]

46. Pron ALWAYS counts!

:P

[rcrush]

47. Well then I have this girls gone wild collection you should try.

They are classics.

[nytemare]

40. The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Probably some 100 times or so.

[MikeNearMcChord]

41. Ok , Ok I confess, Scarface with Al Pacino

But I just can't resist when he says as he fires the m-203 "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND"

[skygazer]

43. The Big Lebowski

Twelve Monkeys
And Disney's Beauty and the Beast


How's that for an eclectic list?

[buzzycrumbhunger]

52. Lebowski here, too

. . . with Fear and Loathing a close second.

[rcrush]

48. The second most watched for me is V for Vendetta

I cant get enough of that movie. I watched it twice this week already.

[3.14158675309]

53. Hey! I just saw that for the first time a few nights ago!

Me likey! :thumbsup:

[abq e streeter]

66. Powerful, magnificent movie; just too intense for me to see over and over

if any of you out there in DU loungeland haven't seen this,I can't recommend it highly enough. I didn't see it when it came out in theaters; didn't know anything about it and thought it was just some violent movie of the type I'm not the least bit interested in. But I'd heard it was good, and finally rented it one night.... It IS violent, but for the purpose of making its extremely important and relevant points...A must-see.

[martymar64]

55. The Godfather (both 1 and 2)

Followed by:
Airplane
Animal House
Blues Brothers
Blue Velvet
Blazing Saddles
The Grateful Dead Movie
Female Trouble
Spinal Tap
Blood In Blood Out

[fizzgig]

56. the dark crystal

it's my default movie, especially if i can't sleep. the princess bride is on that list, as is stand by me and the shawshank redemption.

welcome to du :hi:

[DS1]

57. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

We used to carry that tape around and watch it repeatedly at each others' houses. It was nuts.



Message for you, sir!

[NewJeffCT]

105. That definitely tops my list.

I think i watched it almost weekly for several years in my early to mid 20s.

strange women lyin' in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government - supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony.

[begin_within]

59. My friend Forrest has seen "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" well over 100 times,

and can recite the entire script or any scene by memory. He even went and visited Russ Meyer once about 10 years ago and bought a VHS copy of it directly from him and got it autographed.

[hunter]

82. Youtube trailer...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fofc9VigSOw

[begin_within]

103. Awesome - thanks. Watching that makes me want to watch the movie again.

That trailer is extremely rare and they just recently came out with the DVDs of Russ Meyer's films like a year ago or something. I think the trailers are included on the DVDs and I will have to go rent the "Faster" DVD to watch them. While I'm at it I'll watch the film again to see how good the DVD transfer is. My VHS copy is kinda worn now. Thanks!

[azmouse]

62. Jaws, Weekend at Bernie's, Amadeus

At least those would be my best guesses. When I like a movie I'll watch it a lot.

[ogneopasno]

63. Star Wars (the first one that came out). Like, tons of times.

[BlueIris]

65. "A Few Good Men," "Mission Impossible," "Minority Report," "The Last Boyscout," "B.S. Dracula,"

"Soapdish" and "Thunderheart."

What? Those are good movies.

[abq e streeter]

67. besides virtually every Stooges movie with Curly, then Animal House and The Blues Brothers

what can I say, I'm an intellectual

[kaiden]

68. MAME, with Rosaslind Russell. Love it!

[Graybeard]

89. Roz was nominated for an Oscar for Auntie Mame.

And she really should have won that year. (Oscar went to Susan Hayward for the forgettable "I Want To Live".)

[mnhtnbb]

69. The Shawshank Redemption; Pretty Woman; Notting Hill; The Devil Wears Prada; Wizard of Oz; Titanic;

When TCM runs Bette Davis films, I always watch Dark Victory and Now,Voyager.

On edit: Oh, and I forgot Scent of a Woman and Officer and a Gentleman!

[grannylib]

70. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" is probably my #1...oh crap, wait

I did see the original Star Wars over 150 times in theatres, so that's definitely #1.
But GWCTD is #2, followed probably by "Rebecca."

[netania99]

71. Probably Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Followed by Help and Bedazzled (the original).

Edited to add: And Spellbound (Hitchcock).

[Forkboy]

72. Not counting Godzilla movies, which is an embarrasingly high number...

It's got to be Jaws, which is somewhere in the 30's, and Snatch, which I've watched about 2 dozen times now.

A couple of cult movies, Tapeheads and Street Trash, would be up there too.

[TZ]

77. You like godzilla?

Who would ever guess that..:rofl:

Did I ever tell you I really like your Godzilla gif? :hi:

[Forkboy]

78. I try to keep it on the down low so no one notices.

:silly:

Everybody likes the gif...I can never get rid of it. Every time I do I get complaints. He is kinda cute though. :)

[MorningGlow]

73. Star Wars (the original)

I'm from the generation that had to keep going back to the theater over and over again!

Since the advent of cable and then video recorders...
Star Wars (still)
Holy Grail
Life of Brian
Spinal Tap
Sixteen Candles
Better Off Dead
A Christmas Story
LA Story
Next Stop Wonderland
Princess Bride
Dark Crystal
Ella Enchanted
Cutting Edge (I can't resist "toe pick!")
Eddie and the Cruisers (one summer when I was a teenager, that movie was on HBO EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. And I watched it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.)

[Tikki]

74. I watch the TV movie Stephen King's "IT" at least...

6 times a year since it came out in 1990.

Tikki

[Radical Activist]

75. Lawrence of Arabia

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Office Space
Star Wars episodes 4-6
Several James Bond movies that are on TV every year
The Ten Commandments

[bigwillq]

76. Hello!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

79. The Sorrow and the Pity

no, wait, that is Woody Allen's list


okay.... Red Dawn

[THUNDER HANDS]

81. Labamba, Tremors and the Lord of the Rings trilogy

the first two because they were on tv all the time when I was growing up. The last one because I love it so much.

[tigereye]

83. Star Wars, LOTR, Blade Runner, Harold and Maude, Spinal Tap,

Casablanca, Shaun of the Dead, White Christmas,The Bishop's WIfe, and a variety of Disney and other kid films( which I would, sadly, be able to quote word for word.) ;)

[yvr girl]

84. I'd have to go with The Wizard of Oz or

White Christmas.

I watched The Wizard of Oz every time it was on TV when I was growing up. I've even watched it in French. I've also watched White Christmas every year for as long as I can remember.

[Hardrada]

86. Ben Hur, GWTW, Casablanca, African Queen

On Christmas day TCM was running a lot of classic Bogie films! A real gift as I was waiting in a motel room for a flight to come in.

[Graybeard]

88. "The Man In Lincoln's Nose."

That was the title Hitchcock wanted to use for my most watched, North By Northwest. It is enjoyable each time, even though I can repeat the dialog word for word (maybe BECAUSE I can.) Also Wizard Of Oz, It's A Wonderful Life and the original King Kong-1933 fall in that same category.

[3.14158675309]

90. Coincidentally enough, I just watched that movie last night!

I cannot believe how sexually provocative Eve Saint Marie was for that time period! Off teh charts! :thumbsup:

[Graybeard]

91. Hitch really got the most out of his "blondes".

The female leads in Hitchcock movies are legendary. Ingrid Bergman in Spellbound and Notorious. Grace Kelly in Rear Window and To Catch A Thief. Kim Novak in Vertigo. Sultry and hot..hot..hot.

[3.14158675309]

96. Oh my. Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief.

Off teh charts!

[Graybeard]

99. FIREWORKS!!!!!

I don't know which is more erotic, the train penetrating the tunnel at the end of N by NW or the ejaculating...er...bursting fireworks in To Catch A Thief. Great stuff.

[ikojo]

92. I'm a geek....so the movies should not surprise

Star Wars A New Hope
Star Trek
Lord of the Rings (any of them)

[stlsaxman]

93. Dogma, The Matrix, Bourne Identity, O Brother and Pootie Tang....

"I'm a tine cappy, my damie... wadatah!"

[SalmonChantedEvening]

94. The first three Star Wars movies.

Echuta.

[Mari333]

98. Godfather 1 and 2. about 100 times. nt

[MrSlayer]

100. Jaws, Slapshot, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Shawshank.

Star Wars, Evil Dead. I must have seen all of those at least 50 times.

[surrealAmerican]

102. I think it may be Duck Soup, ...

... or Animal Crackers, or Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or Sleeper, or Blazing Saddles. Those are all still funny, no matter how many times you see them.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

104. Airplane, This Is Spinal Tap, Rocky Horror Picture Show, A Man For All Seasons

[JohnnieGordon]

106. Evil Dead 2 - Dead By Dawn

It was a favorite of my nieces and nephews. Their parents wouldn't let them watch it, but I let them watch it when I babysat them. We must've seen it over 100 times.

[AlCzervik]

107. Caddyshack, Goodfellas, Blazing Saddles, 1941, The Jerk, Jaws, All About Eve

and The Women. I've seen all of them at least 20 times and i own 3 copies of Goodfellas, vhs, original DVD and Blueray, 2 copies of The Jerk and 3 of Caddyshack. The rest are on vhs and regualar dvd but i'll get around to getting them all on Blue Ray.

Oh Yeah, The Alien series, seen all of them at least 10 times.

[Paladin]

108. Movies From My Childhood

"The Great Escape," "The Graduate," "The Wild Bunch." These are flicks that I find myself watching, every time they turn up on TV. A current movie that'll probably join that list at some point: "The Departed." I just can't get enough of it......

[Tommy_Carcetti]

109. Greatest. Screenname. Ever.

I don't care if you are a flaming freeper, that is just the perfect screen name.

[XemaSab]

110. Shallow Grave or Ghostbusters

20+ times for both.

[graywarrior]

114. Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima

:evilgrin:

[Inspired]

115. I've seen Big more times than I can count.

[AwakeAtLast]

116. Most likely "The Breakfast Club"

Class of '88 here!

:hi:

[SoxFan]

118. Star Wars (A New Hope)

This isn't the thread you're looking for.

Move along.

[PassingFair]

119. Zoolander.

Makes me laugh every time.

Also:

Empire of the Sun
Holy Grail
Rocky Horror
1951 version of "A Christmas Carol" (once every year since childhood)

I have seen the first Bridget Jones movie a couple of times, as well.

[elocs]

120. I have a front projector with a 7' screen so I like to watch movies with special effects.

Hands down would be all 3 LOTR movies and I have even watched them one after another in a marathon 11 hour viewing. I have watched Serenity numerous times along with the 14 episodes of the tv show Firefly on which it is based. I have also watched The Fifth Element many times because it looks so good on the big screen with surround sound. Bladerunner is another one.
