Can you categorically state which film you have watched most?

If I counted up the number of minutes I've watched of the same DVD but never managed to stayed awake to see more than the first third of the movie, it would probably be Mystic River with Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, and Kevin Bacon. I've had the DVD for about 15 years and have probably put it on to watch about 6 times a year, so say 0.5 hours x 6 times a year x 15 years = 45 hours worth of one-eyed watching before drifting off and wakening up on the couch at 3am.

I wouldn't bother watching until the end, it's not worth it.

Yes, Excalibur by John Boorman..

Back to the future, Star Wars followed closely by The Blues Brothers

CavemanGrogg · September 2023

The Blues Brothers, I simply love the music in it, so have used it as a soundtrack and watched it more times than I can count or remember.

If we are talking partial movies, then it’s probably something like one of the first three Star Wars (Ep 4,5,6) or Die Hard as it’s shown on TV every Xmas.

In definitive full movie terms, it’s the Matrix without a doubt.

I was a freshman in college when it came out, and file sharing and handicam rips were rampant on the local network. The Matrix is my all time fav, so I had a rip that I watched non-stop.

When DVDs became more mainstream I bought a DVD player (last 2 years of college) and that was the only DVD we had for quite a while. It was glorious.

It must be Dirty Harry for me.

Neil · September 2023

A Canterbury tale (1944).

Groundhog Day.

Actually no, it's probably a toss-up between Star Wars and Raiders Of The Lost Ark

FTFY

CountryDave · September 2023

Star Wars
Love Actually
Notting Hill
Crocodile Dundee

The first cos I watched it at the cinema as a kid, then got the VHS, then the DVD. Then had kids and watched the whole Star Wars set with them.

The rest because they seem to have a 5 week spell of being on the TV at least every year and if you accidentally catch it, you just can’t switch it off.

We're at opposite ends of the spectrum here - I've never seen a single Star Wars movie even once!

Greatape · September 2023

The Last Waltz.

Keiko · September 2023

Genuinely shocked at the popularity of love actually.

Watched it for the first time last year, and lets just say, I wont be watching it again.

Haych · September 2023

Easy!

Spaceballs!

stickyfiddle · September 2023

Why aren't you all watching Ghostbusters more when it's obviously the best film?

Haych · September 2023

Others which must be up there:

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Local Hero
Back to the Future trilogy

Philly_Q · September 2023

I haven't watched it more times than anything else, but I'd like to mention it anyway because it is extremely watchable (and it's by far the best Star Trek movie ever, without being a Star Trek movie at all):

Galaxy Quest.

Cos we're watching The Big Lebowski instead

Fargo.

(Not the "best film", but my favourite Coens one, I think.)

It was certainly one of the best from 1984.

What a classic movie! Superb script, both funny and also very touching. That one scene with Quellek and Alan Rickman brings a tear to my eye every time.

Only seen it about 4 times. The cast is awesome. The writing spot on and the aliens are genius. It was filmed for an adult audience and the studio had it edited for 8 year olds. It works better imho.

Of the many brilliant scenes the one where Alan rickman just loses it with the alien guard is moving, funny and a yes moment for the character.

Nothing more annoying than when you see 'ghostbusters' in the TV guide, you think "oo ghostbusters is on" so put it on and it's the one with the women in it! At least call it something else FFS, "Ghostbusters (the shit one)" or something like that.

I still remember watching ghostbusters at the pictures when I was a kid. I kept the poster for years.

It's still better than Ghostbusters: Afterlife....

EricTheWeary · September 2023

I rented This is Spinal Tap on VHS and watched it five times in a day and have watched it several times since. So probably that.

We used to use clips of Nil by Mouth for something at work so I have seen those clips dozens and dozens of times. So if we can include total viewing time rather than just watched the whole thing its Kathy Burke being intimidated by Ray Winstone.

SpoonMan · September 2023

The Wall must be up there for me too.

Howdy, Stranger!
