    I'd rather watch lots of different films than the same ones over and over, so even with my absolute favourite films I may have only watched them once or twice.  I'm also a bit superstitious when I watch something overwhelmingly brilliant that it may not have the same effect if I watch it again...

    The Wicker Man's my favourite film and I've probably seen that five or six times, which is a lot for me.  And some of the Dario Argento and John Carpenter films, I've seen them a number of times.

    But, the films I've actually watched the most are old, mainstream films which have been on TV a lot.  I'd like to think the winner was the 1931 Dracula or Frankenstein, but it's probably one of the Bond movies.  Or the last two thirds of Where Eagles Dare.

    Nicholas Cage's finest performance!

    Not with 100% certainty, but I saw The Crow 7 times in the cinema, and a couple since, so probably that. Heat is probably second.

    Not that one!  But you knew that....  As a remake, it's an insult to fans of the original film and I think Neil LaBute's a total arsehole for re-writing the story in such a ludicrous fashion.  But I do still enjoy Nic Cage's performance.

    @breakstuff Great picks. I think I’ve seen Day of the Dead more than Dawn. The Descent I’ve seen several times too. 

    I know I’ll watch Last Night in Soho many more times (two or three so far).

    Groundhog Day. 

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

    Subconsciously , 21 Jump Street as the kids are forever putting it on.

    Consciously as a solo performer I'd say either Jaws or The Godfather

    Most watched is probably The Thief of Baghdad, the one with Sabu and Rex Ingram as the genie. My son loved it as a child and we watched it many, many times together. The colour film stock they used is wonderful, it has a Kodachrome look to it - saturated reds and rich blues.
    As a kid that was a magical film for me! It is just such a great tale. The Genie was so scary!

    Love Actually ........probably my favourite of all time 
    I find that film strangely enchanting. I really like Hugh Grant's storyline, and it feels like a gut punch to feel Emma Thompson's pain. It was the first time I saw Kiera Knightley, she looks soooo lovely in the film.

    Laputa: Castle In The Sky

    (Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli)

    Not only my favourite animated film ever, my kids loved it as well and we watched it together over and over when they were small. I've probably seen the whole thing at least 20 times, and parts more than that.

    After that, possibly Once Upon A Time In The West, although I'm not sure.

    Blade Runner is the only film I've seen more than once at the cinema.

    When I was a kid it was Condorman, then Superman III (due to what we had on VHS)

    But taking the title these days is Apocalypse Now by a fucking mile.

    Probably The Man Who Would be King. Sean Connery and Michael Caine both at the top of their form in this superb adaptation of a Rudyard Kipling short story

    Apocalypse now
    American Psycho 
    Bladerunner

    One of them probably, as I find i can remember a lot of the dialogue. In recent years I've gone off watching films multiple times and I'd rather watch something new usually. Although I did watch Spinal Tap when it was on tv recently and it still makes me laugh.

    Absolutely love once upon a time in the west. Great storyline, great cast, great soundtrack, great scenery. Have watched it a lot.

    Yeah, for those of us of a certain age who grew up with three or four TV channels.

    The more I think about it, there's Zulu, The Great Escape, The Italian Job, Escape to Victory, The Ipcress File, Marathon Man, The Boys From Brazil, any Dirty Harry film or spaghetti Western, The Magnificent Seven, numerous Tarzan movies (especially the Johnny Weismuller films), the Sinbad films, Jason and the Argonauts...  

    And Carry On films!  God knows how many times I've seen all those.  And not necessarily even the better ones... the film I've actually watched most is probably Carry On Cruising or Carry On Girls.

    If I counted up the number of minutes I've watched of the same DVD but never managed to stay 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.
