What film have you watched the most times?

[Blackadder]

Shawshank..... Great Escape...Goodfellas........Schindlers.

And recently, and it's not one of my favourites, but seems to be on a lot on satellite for some reason, Pearl Harbor (Kate Beckinsale and some yanks)

Edit: tried to edit the space in Schindlers but no joy.

I don't know for sure but Happy Gilmore probs. saw it in school and watched a few times when I've been ill over the years. Only watched it about 5 times though I reckon, I'm not one for watching a film over and over again! This is the film that just comes to mind having watched more than say a couple of times.

(Excludes christmas films though as home alone, elf etc are on the tele every year and I catch a bit of them probably each christmas)

 

[m20gull]

Used to be Blues Brothers easily, but now I suspect it's pulp Fiction, or maybe Casablanca

 

[urbanjim]

Going to have to go with dig54 on this one. Happy Gilmore by a mile, usually fuelled by a fair few brews. As for those shown on TV, Die Hard 2 and any of the Police Academy films - except Mission to Moscow which was poo.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I wonder if it's either Deep Blue Sea for it being on fortnightly, or something like Murder at the Gallop as i love to see Margaret Rutherford in full jowly comical flow as Marple. The latter is on quite frequently also and i don't tire of it.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Blade runner, alien (or ...s), where eagles dare, the eagle has landed, lost in translation and Gattaca are all films I've watched 3+ times, but, if I'm completely honest, the film I've watched most often would be a close call between four weddings and notting hill. Although I'm reasonably blokey in some ways, scratch the surface and I'm a big softie.

 

[BadFish]

True Romance and Quadrophenia for me. Sunday evening after a big weekend, comfort films my old flat mate used to say.

I remember as a teenager watching Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves dozens of times on video. I could almost recite the script word for word. When I saw a bit of it again recently I was amazed to note just how crap it actually was

I really enjoyed that film. Of course, largely because of Alan Rickman. But there's a scene very early on in the film where Robin and Azeem have just escaped prison and steal a piece of fruit from some market stall, break it open and share it. Growing up I had always thought it was some exotic mystery fruit, possibly something put together by the prop department to look like something unusual. I saw the start of it again recently and saw it was a plain old yellow melon.

Terminator 1 & Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

I heard that Rickman's part was cut because he stole the show in the edits. Additionally, I always laughed my socks off at the scene when Robin and Azeem land at Dover and Robin confidently predicts that " Tonight we will dine at my father's castle in Nottingham "... well. even in this day and age the transport infrastructure is not in place to guarantee that !

 

[jackanada]

Another vote for Mary Poppins.
Mainly due to babysitting my kid brother but also because it's great.
Oh and Mary is smoking hot.

 

[jackanada]

They were cut

So everyone was circumcised up to big c@ck 7?

Oh, it gets better than that. Technically they actually come ashore at our very own Seven Sisters, presumably because the famous White Cliffs of Dover were in fact a bit brown & ugly for Hollywood's liking.

Then they head back to Sherwood Forest via....er....Hadrian's Wall, where they have that scene with the King's soldiers and the boy Wolf.

Even as a fourteen year old, I laughed my head off at the concept that they could land on the south coast, and, presumably on foot or horseback, be back in Nottingham, via Hadrian's Wall, by nightfall

 

[bobby baxter]

For me it's "quadrophonia"

Probably seen it in excess of 250 times -sad I know but I just luv the film and the music

"Kes", absolutely love that film, also, Godfather trilogy, I have even become fond of "Godfather 3"

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Eraserhead

The Wicker Man (1973)

 

[WSU]

Has to be another vote for Blues Brothers from me!

Maybe that was the reason I named my son Elwood last month.....

 

[WSU]

Oops sent too quick!

I am not allowed to take him to Derby but I have assured the wife that if we make the finals, then Wembley WILL be his first game!

 

[geodavies]

Papillon

 

[KZNSeagull]

Either One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or Forrest Gump.

The film which I feel strangely compelled to tune into whenever it is on (which is most of the time on TCM) is Logan's Run! A classic of film crapness.

 

[Tarpon]

There are 2 films that I expect any self respecting fella to have on tap: Zulu and Master & Commander. End of.
