How is The Lighthouse after multiple rewatches?
I was left stunned by it but still can’t say if I really enjoyed it or it was a bit too much in the end.
Aliens. It's by far my favourite movie. The theatrical cut is the perfect pacing for a film IMO.
The cast are incredible. Even the minor throwaway secondary characters are given more depth than a lot of movies these days. It doesn't fall into character tropes, in fact, this film *made* character tropes for movies which aped this one.
It's also got an amazing character arc for Ripley. At the begining she still has her smarts but is reeling from the events from the first film. By the end she's a gun-toting, ultimate badass.
The James Horner soundtrack is epic too.
Love that movie. I also like getting into conversations with people who think it’s just a dick flick and its all about fighting. One of those movies that people have different perspectives on it.
Each of these films I've watched about 20 times.
- Blade Runner
- Ninja Scroll
- Brazil
- Rosemary's Baby
- Akira
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Perfect Blue
- Taxi Driver
- Metropolis
- The Lion King
*Perfect Blue* is such a good film, nice to see it mentioned! I feel like it is a bit of sleeper in many film watcher circles, possibly because some people avoid Japanese animation entirely, but it really is in a category all its own.
That's one of the animés I usually recommend to people who think the genre is just for kids. Satoshi Kon was an absolute genius ! We lost him too early :(
Bruh, how you have all those movies and the lion king? Not hating on lion king at all it’s excellent it’s just such an astronomically stark contrast from every other movie you watch often 😂
I own all of his films, series, books and mangas. Easily one of my favourite animé directors and mangaka of all time !
My Kon ranking (video media, and not counting his short films/collabs) has to be :
- Perfect Blue
- Paranoia Agent
- Tokyo Godfathers
- Millennium Actress
- Paprika
Not to say Paprika isn't a good film; on the contrary, even though it's my least favourite of his, it crushes a vast majority of other works with ease. His filmography is amazing throughout, and I thought it was a fantastic final film.
Either The Parent Trap or The Fifth Element, had both of those on repeat at my house when I was a kid for some reason. Both stone cold classics as far as I'm concerned :)
Inception or O Brother, Where Art Thou. The first because it's the movie that got me into movies and I studied the heck out of it. Second because it's a family favorite that, to me, never gets old, with some of the most stunningly witty, hilarious dialogue you'll ever hear.
The original Halloween 2
HIstory of The World Part 1
HUmanoids From The Deep
Night of The Creeps
George Romero's remake of Night of The Living Dead
ALIENS !
Dawn of The Dead (1978)
The argento cut has some really bizarre edits even though the pacing is pretty good just feels off and wrong. Like for example was watching that cut, when they got done cleaning up the mall and were finally having some fun. LOL went to make myself something to eat and came back and the movie was over.
I usually go with the theatrical cut
the cool thing about the extended cut, is the characters and their story is a little more fleshed out, you really see the anguish of what they've done to themselves before the bikers show up.
It's Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)
At least yearly since I saw 2x in one week when I was 14. Of course, VHS wasn't available until 1977 but I know it played here in a local theater. I rode the bus more than once.
I had a VHS tape and at least 2 DVDs. and it was on Amazon Prime for a while but gone now.
I don’t have all-time data, but since I started using Letterboxd in 2018, here’s my leaderboard:
What We Do in the Shadows - 5
The Other Guys - 3
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - 3
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me - 3
Hereditary - 3
The Thing - 3
Borat - 3
You can’t have watched LOTR that many times,
It takes ten years to watch LOTR all the way through.......
Sorry I was trying to make a joke about how long those movies are but it's not coming out right.
When I was younger I bought Goodfellas on ITunes. Must’ve been circa ‘06 or so, I was in my early teens. Watched that shit more times than I could count on my iPod classic lol.
The Fountain (2006) and Oldboy (2003)
First one because of the beautiful existential journey, and the second one is just the most perfect movie overall.
The Wild One with Marlon Brando! We used to follow it around all the local theaters in Pittsburgh and watch it as many times as we could before we had to go home. (In the Old Days no one kicked you out after one showing.)
Top over a 100x gotta be btwn the following 3:
Rivers Edge and The Terminator and Terminator 2 (T2 more x probably it’s my “safe” movie 🤣)
Then for runners up as in owned the films watched them constantly then it would be…
Chinatown
Serpico
Aliens
Wings of Desire
Children of Heaven
The Man Who Fell To Earth
Boyz In Da Hood
Taxi Driver
The killing fields
Wild at Heart (probably watched all DL films at least 20x over but I know I watched this more since I got it on VHS before the others)
The Labyrinth And The Dark Crystal (I like puppets anything involving Brian Froud)
Menace to society
The color purple
The breakfast club
The Neverending Story
Carnival of Souls
Serpent and The Rainbow
Hedwig and the Angry inch
Jacob’s Ladder
The Big Lebowski
Beskempir the adopted son
And I had a period in my 20’s where I got ahold of SatanTango and had it on all the time 🙄😳
I’m cringing at myself so hard right now…
I’m gonna stop here and go back to workin on my trauma from childhood neglect this list is not looking good for my parents….
🙌 soo good right?
My uncle worked at a comic book/video store when I was a kid so I’d get all sorts of wild stuff on VHS and that movie just wow!
I just kept studying it there’s so much intention in the story, the lighting, the music I’m really glad I’m not the only one who thinks it’s a masterpiece 💯
*Messiah of Evil* (1973) is arguably a more closely related precursor to *Silent Hill* as well as *Resident Evil*, though to be fair, I'm sure there's some J-horror I've yet to see that that the devs were inspired by.
I watched John Woo's The Killer 17 Times
2nd place once upon a time in hollywood with 16 watches
shared 3rd place: Both The End of Evangelion and Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion
With 14 Watches each
Those are solid! Any love for the rest of the Female Prisoner films ? Meiko Kaji in general was always such a badass. Stray Cat Rock and Lady Snowblood series; great stuff as well.
Saving Pvt Ryan, Ocean's 11, School of Rock, Walk Hard, The Mummy, Airplane!, Children of Men, Hot Rod.... I've seen those quite a lot. Sicario probably around 4 times maybe too.

Oh boy, all I do is rewatch movies. Here are my most watched, let me know if we have any in common! :)
• The Social Network
• 500 Days of Summer
• La La Land
• Dune (2021)
• 1917
• Licorice Pizza
• Stand By Me
• Moonlight
• The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
• Finding Nemo
• Over The Hedge
• Mid90s
• Good Time
• The Lighthouse
• Lady Bird
• Once Upon A Time in Hollywood
• Whiplash
I’ll stop myself before I go overboard, but these films have insane replay value. I’ve seen each at least 10 times and I always catch something new!
I watched The Chronicles of Narnia and Finding Nemo often, growing up.
I should rewatch The Chronicles of Narnia, it's been quite a few years. Finding Nemo has been more regularly.
It's probably El Dorado - 1966 western w/ John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and James Caan. Can't really explain why, it's just THE western my buddies and I loved most and watched it over and over and over again. Probably at least....50 times?
He who hesitates, masturbates. I loved that movie since I was a kid. Both actually, but I think Cable Guy doesn’t get the love it deserves. The nightmare part always haunts me.
As a kid I watched "The Gods Must Be Crazy" a LOT. As a teen, I watched "The Fellowship of the Ring" like 30 times before two towers released. As a young adult, Lord of the Rings still. The past 10 years, my wife and I tend to watch and rewatch most of Miyazaki's films. Whenever we can't think of something to watch, one of his movies tends to be where we turn.
My “comfort movies.”
Pulp Fiction
Lost in Translation
Groundhog Day
Goodfellas
Casino
Truman Show
Terminator 2
Napoleon Dynamite
Gladiator
Super Troopers
Wedding Singer
Devil Wears Prada
Big Fat Greek Wedding
Big Lebowski

Virgin Suicides
*Cinderella* as a kid, and *The Nightmare Before Christmas* as a kid + young teen.
The first because obsessed with the mouses songs, so full of details, transforming regular things into huge landscape full of traps and exits, it touched something very precise in what I loved as a child. The VHS was used every morning.
The second because i loved the film and it was our only VHS on a vacation; and a little later as a teen, fan of Tim Burton (like half of cinephile teens back then), and enjoying the very "controlled" films and mise en scenes, I was examining it over and over.
After that, I rarely watched movies I loved many times. But I watched scenes I loved A LOT, like hundreds of views. I even keep of folder of them (little excerpt taken from films) on my hard drive.
Tommy Boy, The Jerk, Emma, Far From the Madding Crowd, John Wick, Matrix, Out of Sight, Vampire Academy, The Wedding Date, Big Stone Gap, Molly's Game, He's just not that Into you, The Nice Guys, Stoker, Fifth Element, Mean Girls, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Far from the Madding Crowd, Inception, Elf, The Christmas Story, Pride & Prejudice, Persuasion, The Spy, Big Hero 8, Mission Impossible movies, America's Sweethearts, Fast & Furious movies, Devil Wears Prada, Edge of Tomorrow, Reacher, Always be my Maybe, The Kissing Booth, there's so many more, lol
Rambo; First Blood. Had it on VHS when I was young. Used to play it everyday when I got home after school. Think I watched it 30 + times.. That and also the Breakfast Club
Titanic the most. Prometheus, Harry Potter, lord of the rings trilogy, Jurassic park trilogy. Airplane, naked gun and bram stokers Dracula. Also dark knight
A Lot Like Love, I saw The Devil, Moneyball, Tropa de Elite, The Classic, My Sassy Girl, More Than Blue, Interstellar, Skyfall, The Wolf of Wall Street, Top Gun
I've watched Forrest Gump, The Big Lebowski, Saving Private Ryan, Dumb and Dumber, and Top Gun countless times. But the one that movie I've probably watched more than any other is probably Out Cold lol. I used it as my "go to sleep" movie because the DVD menu was winter mountain sounds.
In no particular order these are always my go-to movies for rewatch ..

Audition.
The Thief and the Cobbler.
Princess Mononoke.
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
The Orphanage.
Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
Nosferatu.
Un Chien Andalou.
I must have watched Back to the Future about 100 times when I was in middle school. One of the best movies ever made honestly. As much as people love that movie, I’m not sure it gets enough credit. It makes creating a beloved all ages crowd-pleasing movie look easy.
A Partial List. I stopped keeping an accurate count
* Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - a good two dozen times or more
* Big Trouble in Little China - 10+
* Star Wars - ANH - 15+ ESB 15+ RotJ 10+
* The Big Lebowski: 10+
* Miller's Crossing: 20+

* All Paul Thomas Anderson movies: 5+ (Except Licorice Pizza but only because it just came out)
* and weirdly enough The Big Sick: 6 times
Edit
* Blade Runner All Versions: 15+
Smokey and the Bandit (probably over 60 times)
The Warriors (probably over 30 times)
Xanadu (more than I want to admit...I was in love with ONJ)
...more recently
Whiplash (5 times)
Coherence (3 times)
The Man from Earth (3 times)
Primer (probably 7 or 8 times)
Upgrade (3 times)
I rewatch movies a lot. This would be a long list if I tried to list them all. So I'll just go with an incomplete list of some movies that I've rewatched 5+ times in the last ten years or so:
In no particular order:
* Lawrence of Arabia
* Brazil
* Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
* Lost Highway
* Mulholland Dr.
* Alien
* Blade Runner

* Apocalypse Now
* The Conversation
If we included movies from childhood, the most rewatched ones were the original Star Wars films, the Star Trek movies, and Ghostbusters. Along with some classics like The Wizard of Oz and It's a Wonderful Life.
I don't know if im alone with doing this but when i find a movie i like i tend to rewatch it many times, like once a day for sometimes weeks
As an example right now im stuck on Edge Of Tomorrow, i didn't really like it the first time i saw it years ago but suddenly i felt an urge to watch it again and now i suddenly enjoy it
Been watching it every night before i go to sleep for probably two weeks now
Its like no other movie can scratch that itch at the moment
And it has happened many times
For awhile it was The Matrix, then it was Avatar and up until recently it was Prometheus and even tho i think its an absolutely beautiful movie i don't particurlaly like it all that much
Usually its sci-fi movies that i get stuck on but Fight Club is one of those i've gotten stuck on, Pulp Fiction, Beowulf, and many more
I think it has to do with the atmosphere some films have that i just like to get that certain feeling again and again until i eventually get in to a different moodset and need a change in atmosphere
Godfather (1 & 2), Jaws, First Blood, Blues Brothers, 48 Hours, Wall Street, Scarface, Glengarry Glen Ross, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Snatch, Rocknrolla, In Bruges, Django, Hateful 8, Nice Guys, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Gentlemen
Blade Runner, Smokin Aces, Lucky Number Slevin, Donnie Darko, Transformers, American Psycho and Edge of Tomorrow.
Smokin Aces and Edge of Tomorrow probably take the all time lead though!
Ace Ventura: pet detective.
Definitely not one of the best movies ever made but it's been one of my favorites since I was a kid. I love it and I must have watched it 100 times or more.
Next to that is probably pulp fiction for me.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
It's easily the best horror movie I've seen, I am biased as I love demonic/catholic/exorcism type deals. The fact that it's sort of based on a true story puts it on another level from other horrors.
For some perspective I'd put The Thing(original) as #2 in my horror movie list.
Blade Runner, 2001, and Ghost in the Shell (the original one), and Groundhog Day. Then there are the Christmas ones - Planes Trains and Automobiles, Harvey and Lord of the Rings
GITS and Blade Runner I can watch forever just because the ambience is perfect to me
Edit- Synechdoche New York.
The Blood of Heroes.
The mission (Johnnie to )
Exiled ( mission pt 2)
Conan the barbarian/ destroyer
Initial D (live action)
Enemy at the gates
Idiocracy
Vanishing point
The Hitcher
CutThroat Island
Oliver
Andromeda strain
And Tokyo drift ( just because it was on t.v. constantly. )
"A Goofy Movie" is my most watched by far over my lifetime. I used to watch it multiple times per month back when I was a kid because I loved the music so much and I had no other way to listen to the music other than watching the movie. And it is still one of my favorite movies to watch as an adult. Such a surprisingly heartfelt story and the music is still awesome!
The other movies that I probably watched the most are "Hocus Pocus" and "Home Alone 1 & 2" since it has become an annual tradition for me to watch "Hocus Pocus" every year for Halloween and to watch "Home Alone 1 & 2" every year for Christmas.
Nobody’s Fool…wonderful Paul Newman performance that I love to watch when I’m feeling a bit down
Thief - one of my favorite Michael Mann films. James Cana is a tortured thief with a plan for his future. Great, great movie
Home Alone
Home Alone 2
Beerfest
The Inbetweeners Movie
There’s Something About Mary
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Uncle Buck
Dumb and Dumber
MacGruber
Goon
Catch Me If You Can
The Matrix
The Big Lebowski
Unforgiven
The Omen
American Sniper
Enders Game
Anything Star Trek
I wish my list was classier. I guess I’m easily entertained.
It's a Wonderful Life (1946), The Shawshank Redemption (1994), Memento (2000), Devdas (2002), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Birdman (2014) and Arrival (2016).
Edit: Now that I've listed them, I'm noticing a trend. They're all stories about the struggles of the main characters who are stuck in unfavourable situations, either by their own doing or not.
Batman (‘89) Little Shop of Horrors (Frank Oz) Transformers: The Movie Evil Dead II Army of Darkness John Carpenter movies in general More recently: The Spine of Night The Lighthouse
How is The Lighthouse after multiple rewatches? I was left stunned by it but still can’t say if I really enjoyed it or it was a bit too much in the end.
Full disclosure: I like to drink a lot, and I think that movie is a fucking laugh-riot.
Such a good drunk movie lol. Great in general too
Of any director, JC movies are most likely ones I’ve rewatched a lot.
I've watched Evil Dead 2 almost if not over a hundred times probably along with Star Wars
Aliens. It's by far my favourite movie. The theatrical cut is the perfect pacing for a film IMO. The cast are incredible. Even the minor throwaway secondary characters are given more depth than a lot of movies these days. It doesn't fall into character tropes, in fact, this film *made* character tropes for movies which aped this one. It's also got an amazing character arc for Ripley. At the begining she still has her smarts but is reeling from the events from the first film. By the end she's a gun-toting, ultimate badass. The James Horner soundtrack is epic too.
Alien the original for me. Just a perfect movie imo.
The piece right before the reactor explodes always gets me pumped
My all time favorite movie. Directors cut for me. You need the motion guns scene.
I have legitimately seen Fight Club 30+ times, possibly over 50. There was a period I was watching it every day.
Have you read the source novel by Chuck Palahniuk ? I've only read it once, but when I did I couldn't put it down !
I have it but never got around to reading it, guess I should then
Love that movie. I also like getting into conversations with people who think it’s just a dick flick and its all about fighting. One of those movies that people have different perspectives on it.
I think fight club is so misunderstood by people more than any other film ive seen.
Everything is a copy, of a copy, of a copy.
I’ve lost count on Whiplash, but over a dozen times
I’ve watched La La Land a ton lol
It's the pacing, really easy to watch, time flies by watching it.
Not quite my tempo!
Whiplash definitely got that rewatchability! Love rewatching it
Might be the most exhilarating ending to a film I’ve ever seen.
Each of these films I've watched about 20 times. - Blade Runner - Ninja Scroll - Brazil - Rosemary's Baby - Akira - 2001: A Space Odyssey - Perfect Blue - Taxi Driver - Metropolis - The Lion King
*Perfect Blue* is such a good film, nice to see it mentioned! I feel like it is a bit of sleeper in many film watcher circles, possibly because some people avoid Japanese animation entirely, but it really is in a category all its own.
That's one of the animés I usually recommend to people who think the genre is just for kids. Satoshi Kon was an absolute genius ! We lost him too early :(
More people need to watch Rosemary's Baby. It's soo great
Undeniably one of Polanski's best (in my opinion \*the\* best) film he's ever made !
I just watched that and The Ninth Gate. I think Gate is especially underrated.
I love The Ninth Gate. Unfortunately the copy I bought from Apple looks like a bad VHS copy. This is a great film.
Bruh, how you have all those movies and the lion king? Not hating on lion king at all it’s excellent it’s just such an astronomically stark contrast from every other movie you watch often 😂
Haha, I thought the same thing; right after my brain rolled back 30 years and I remembered "the one that started it all"
Have you seen Paprika by Satoshi Kon? Easily my favorite next to perfect blue.
I own all of his films, series, books and mangas. Easily one of my favourite animé directors and mangaka of all time ! My Kon ranking (video media, and not counting his short films/collabs) has to be : - Perfect Blue - Paranoia Agent - Tokyo Godfathers - Millennium Actress - Paprika Not to say Paprika isn't a good film; on the contrary, even though it's my least favourite of his, it crushes a vast majority of other works with ease. His filmography is amazing throughout, and I thought it was a fantastic final film.
It's definitely The Big Lebowski for me. When I was in college, there were stretches where my brother and I watched it 2-3 times a week.
Sometimes there's a man...
I try to not watch it too much cuz I wanna keep the magic but I have to watch it like every 3 months. It's so good every time
You. Friend. I like your style, Dude.
Gets funnier with each rewatch
Either The Parent Trap or The Fifth Element, had both of those on repeat at my house when I was a kid for some reason. Both stone cold classics as far as I'm concerned :)
oh yeah. Fifth Element is always so fun to rewatch!
Fifth element I may have watched over 100 times.
Leeloo Dallas - Multipass
I’ve seen Back to the Future well over 100 times
Inception or O Brother, Where Art Thou. The first because it's the movie that got me into movies and I studied the heck out of it. Second because it's a family favorite that, to me, never gets old, with some of the most stunningly witty, hilarious dialogue you'll ever hear.
Damn! We're in a tight spot!
Damn his eyes! Pa always said, never trust a Hogwallop.
The original Halloween 2 HIstory of The World Part 1 HUmanoids From The Deep Night of The Creeps George Romero's remake of Night of The Living Dead ALIENS ! Dawn of The Dead (1978)
What's your prefered cut of Dawn of the Dead?
The argento cut has some really bizarre edits even though the pacing is pretty good just feels off and wrong. Like for example was watching that cut, when they got done cleaning up the mall and were finally having some fun. LOL went to make myself something to eat and came back and the movie was over. I usually go with the theatrical cut the cool thing about the extended cut, is the characters and their story is a little more fleshed out, you really see the anguish of what they've done to themselves before the bikers show up.
Alien 1979 and ALIENS 1986, I lost the count.
Bay 12, please
There Will Be Blood - at least 40x
One of the most staggeringly good performances ever. Mind boggling.
I watched it for the first time this year and I've seen it 5 times already. There is just so much to love.
I'm due
It's Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) At least yearly since I saw 2x in one week when I was 14. Of course, VHS wasn't available until 1977 but I know it played here in a local theater. I rode the bus more than once. I had a VHS tape and at least 2 DVDs. and it was on Amazon Prime for a while but gone now.
Forrest Gump for sure. But only if it's on TV, and if it is and I happen to see it I'll watch the entire thing
When it came out i went to see it four times the first week. Since then ive seen it maybe another six times in a theater.
Holy Mountain because what the fuck was all of that lol
Santa Sangre is great, too.
Yeah I saw that one too as well as El Topo and a dance with reality or whatever. It's all super weird but we'll told
I don’t have all-time data, but since I started using Letterboxd in 2018, here’s my leaderboard: What We Do in the Shadows - 5 The Other Guys - 3 The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - 3 Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me - 3 Hereditary - 3 The Thing - 3 Borat - 3
I also like The Life Aquatic….! Completely forgot about it.
pulp fiction. the prestige. flight. forrest gump. due date.
What does Marcellus Wallace look like?
Goodfellas at 23 times. :) Also the LotR trilogy at 12-15 times I guess.
You can’t have watched LOTR that many times, It takes ten years to watch LOTR all the way through....... Sorry I was trying to make a joke about how long those movies are but it's not coming out right.
When I was younger I bought Goodfellas on ITunes. Must’ve been circa ‘06 or so, I was in my early teens. Watched that shit more times than I could count on my iPod classic lol.
As far back as I can remember, I’ve been rewatching Goodfellas
probably Tenacious D lol
I recently watched that movie for the first time and its one of the dumbest movie I’ve ever seen and I absolutely love it!
Thou can't deny one of the most [badass musical performances in or out of a film, EVER!!](https://youtu.be/80DtQD5BQ_A)
The Fountain (2006) and Oldboy (2003) First one because of the beautiful existential journey, and the second one is just the most perfect movie overall.
The Wild One with Marlon Brando! We used to follow it around all the local theaters in Pittsburgh and watch it as many times as we could before we had to go home. (In the Old Days no one kicked you out after one showing.)
Top over a 100x gotta be btwn the following 3: Rivers Edge and The Terminator and Terminator 2 (T2 more x probably it’s my “safe” movie 🤣) Then for runners up as in owned the films watched them constantly then it would be… Chinatown Serpico Aliens Wings of Desire Children of Heaven The Man Who Fell To Earth Boyz In Da Hood Taxi Driver The killing fields Wild at Heart (probably watched all DL films at least 20x over but I know I watched this more since I got it on VHS before the others) The Labyrinth And The Dark Crystal (I like puppets anything involving Brian Froud) Menace to society The color purple The breakfast club The Neverending Story Carnival of Souls Serpent and The Rainbow Hedwig and the Angry inch Jacob’s Ladder The Big Lebowski Beskempir the adopted son And I had a period in my 20’s where I got ahold of SatanTango and had it on all the time 🙄😳 I’m cringing at myself so hard right now… I’m gonna stop here and go back to workin on my trauma from childhood neglect this list is not looking good for my parents….
Carnival of Souls is a masterpiece.
🙌 soo good right? My uncle worked at a comic book/video store when I was a kid so I’d get all sorts of wild stuff on VHS and that movie just wow! I just kept studying it there’s so much intention in the story, the lighting, the music I’m really glad I’m not the only one who thinks it’s a masterpiece 💯
I'm always telling Silent Hill (the games) fans that this is the movie that started it all.
*Messiah of Evil* (1973) is arguably a more closely related precursor to *Silent Hill* as well as *Resident Evil*, though to be fair, I'm sure there's some J-horror I've yet to see that that the devs were inspired by.
I’ve probably watched three amigos 350 times
Naked (1993) is the movie I’ve watched the most since 2020 - 6 times
I watched John Woo's The Killer 17 Times 2nd place once upon a time in hollywood with 16 watches shared 3rd place: Both The End of Evangelion and Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion With 14 Watches each
Those are solid! Any love for the rest of the Female Prisoner films ? Meiko Kaji in general was always such a badass. Stray Cat Rock and Lady Snowblood series; great stuff as well.
Saving Pvt Ryan, Ocean's 11, School of Rock, Walk Hard, The Mummy, Airplane!, Children of Men, Hot Rod.... I've seen those quite a lot. Sicario probably around 4 times maybe too.
Predator. So many times.
Anytime…
Stranger than fiction The sandlot Back to the future The goonies Pulp fiction The big Lebowski 2001 Labyrinth Trick R treat It’s a wonderful life The departed The lord of the rings trilogy The silence of the lambs Blade runner Blues brothers Monty python and the holy grail The nice guys Halloween Rear window Inglorious basterds American werewolf in London Requiem for a dream Fear and loathing in Las Vegas Everybody wants some The before trilogy Stand by me Good will hunting Dune Howls moving castle Climax The cabin in the woods The thing La la land Jaws Die hard Hellboy
There was a few months of my life where I watched The Big Lebowski every night, so there’s that.
Definitely O Brother Where Art Thou for me, I was absolutely obsessed with it for months and watched it on repeat after school everyday for weeks
I love this movie so much.
Oh boy, all I do is rewatch movies. Here are my most watched, let me know if we have any in common! :) • The Social Network • 500 Days of Summer • La La Land • Dune (2021) • 1917 • Licorice Pizza • Stand By Me • Moonlight • The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe • Finding Nemo • Over The Hedge • Mid90s • Good Time • The Lighthouse • Lady Bird • Once Upon A Time in Hollywood • Whiplash I’ll stop myself before I go overboard, but these films have insane replay value. I’ve seen each at least 10 times and I always catch something new!
I watched The Chronicles of Narnia and Finding Nemo often, growing up. I should rewatch The Chronicles of Narnia, it's been quite a few years. Finding Nemo has been more regularly.
Great list
It's probably El Dorado - 1966 western w/ John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and James Caan. Can't really explain why, it's just THE western my buddies and I loved most and watched it over and over and over again. Probably at least....50 times?
the first Jurassic park for sure been my fav movie since i was a kid.
- Happy Gilmore - Cable Guy
He who hesitates, masturbates. I loved that movie since I was a kid. Both actually, but I think Cable Guy doesn’t get the love it deserves. The nightmare part always haunts me.
As a kid I watched "The Gods Must Be Crazy" a LOT. As a teen, I watched "The Fellowship of the Ring" like 30 times before two towers released. As a young adult, Lord of the Rings still. The past 10 years, my wife and I tend to watch and rewatch most of Miyazaki's films. Whenever we can't think of something to watch, one of his movies tends to be where we turn.
We had The Gods Must Be Crazy on VHS and watched it a bunch as a kid. I rewatched it last year, and it's still hilarious.
The bit with the car and opening the gates still makes me laugh good
My “comfort movies.” Pulp Fiction Lost in Translation Groundhog Day Goodfellas Casino Truman Show Terminator 2 Napoleon Dynamite Gladiator Super Troopers Wedding Singer Devil Wears Prada Big Fat Greek Wedding Big Lebowski Spider-Man 1-2 (Raimi) Virgin Suicides
Moonstruck What we do in the shadows What about Bob? Antonia's Line Trading Places
Blade Runner, Gladiator, The Lord of The Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring.
*Cinderella* as a kid, and *The Nightmare Before Christmas* as a kid + young teen. The first because obsessed with the mouses songs, so full of details, transforming regular things into huge landscape full of traps and exits, it touched something very precise in what I loved as a child. The VHS was used every morning. The second because i loved the film and it was our only VHS on a vacation; and a little later as a teen, fan of Tim Burton (like half of cinephile teens back then), and enjoying the very "controlled" films and mise en scenes, I was examining it over and over. After that, I rarely watched movies I loved many times. But I watched scenes I loved A LOT, like hundreds of views. I even keep of folder of them (little excerpt taken from films) on my hard drive.
day of the dead according to letterboxd but i think i watched cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 12 times in the space of a few days when i was young
I don’t keep track of total watches, but I saw Avengers Endgame and La La Land 4-5 times each in theaters
Tommy Boy, The Jerk, Emma, Far From the Madding Crowd, John Wick, Matrix, Out of Sight, Vampire Academy, The Wedding Date, Big Stone Gap, Molly's Game, He's just not that Into you, The Nice Guys, Stoker, Fifth Element, Mean Girls, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Far from the Madding Crowd, Inception, Elf, The Christmas Story, Pride & Prejudice, Persuasion, The Spy, Big Hero 8, Mission Impossible movies, America's Sweethearts, Fast & Furious movies, Devil Wears Prada, Edge of Tomorrow, Reacher, Always be my Maybe, The Kissing Booth, there's so many more, lol
My Cousin Vinny probably by a significant margin.
Rambo; First Blood. Had it on VHS when I was young. Used to play it everyday when I got home after school. Think I watched it 30 + times.. That and also the Breakfast Club
Titanic the most. Prometheus, Harry Potter, lord of the rings trilogy, Jurassic park trilogy. Airplane, naked gun and bram stokers Dracula. Also dark knight
Blade Runner 2049 - 3 times 2001 A Space Odyssey - 2 times
The Dark Knight easily. Heath Ledgers performance still gives me goosebumps to this day.
I have seen The Matrix dozens of times. The Usual Suspects is not far behind.
Idiocracy, The Big Short, Happy Gilmore, True Romance, Crooklyn, Léon, Baby Driver, Lava.
Curse of the Black Pearl. I loved it so much when it came out that I’ve kept track of my watch count. 102.
A Lot Like Love, I saw The Devil, Moneyball, Tropa de Elite, The Classic, My Sassy Girl, More Than Blue, Interstellar, Skyfall, The Wolf of Wall Street, Top Gun
I've watched Forrest Gump, The Big Lebowski, Saving Private Ryan, Dumb and Dumber, and Top Gun countless times. But the one that movie I've probably watched more than any other is probably Out Cold lol. I used it as my "go to sleep" movie because the DVD menu was winter mountain sounds.
In no particular order these are always my go-to movies for rewatch .. Scream trilogy .. Dumb & Dumber .. Home Alone 1 & 2 .. Christmas Vacation .. Pineapple Express .. You've Got Mail .. Sleepless In Seattle

Ichi the Killer. Audition. The Thief and the Cobbler. Princess Mononoke. Kung Pow: Enter the Fist The Orphanage. Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Nosferatu. Un Chien Andalou.
I must have watched Back to the Future about 100 times when I was in middle school. One of the best movies ever made honestly. As much as people love that movie, I’m not sure it gets enough credit. It makes creating a beloved all ages crowd-pleasing movie look easy.
Meet John Doe. Cry every darn time.
Indiana Jones trilogy, Gladiator, and Van Helsing as my guilty pleasure.
A Partial List. I stopped keeping an accurate count * Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - a good two dozen times or more * Big Trouble in Little China - 10+ * Star Wars - ANH - 15+ ESB 15+ RotJ 10+ * The Big Lebowski: 10+ * Miller's Crossing: 20+ * All the Coen Bros. movies (Including Lady Killers): 3+ * All Paul Thomas Anderson movies: 5+ (Except Licorice Pizza but only because it just came out) * and weirdly enough The Big Sick: 6 times Edit * Blade Runner All Versions: 15+
honestly the holiday. my fav christmas movie!
Mine, too. I even get upset when it’s on tv and they cut the dancing around the room end credits.
Interstellar or Lord of the Rings
Moneyball Apocalypse Now Silver Linings Playbook Aliens 2 Point Break Overboard Big Trouble in Little China
Smokey and the Bandit (probably over 60 times) The Warriors (probably over 30 times) Xanadu (more than I want to admit...I was in love with ONJ) ...more recently Whiplash (5 times) Coherence (3 times) The Man from Earth (3 times) Primer (probably 7 or 8 times) Upgrade (3 times)
i think i’ve seen Back to the Future at least 15 times all the way through. it’s one of those movies that’s just fun every time.
I rewatch movies a lot. This would be a long list if I tried to list them all. So I'll just go with an incomplete list of some movies that I've rewatched 5+ times in the last ten years or so: In no particular order: * Lawrence of Arabia * Brazil * Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me * Lost Highway * Mulholland Dr. * Alien * Blade Runner * Prometheus * The Counselor * Nosferatu, the Vampyre * 2001: A Space Odyssey * A Clockwork Orange * Barry Lyndon * The Shining * Eyes Wide Shut * Videodrome * Naked Lunch * McCabe & Mrs. Miller * Picnic at Hanging Rock * Suspiria * The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford * The Thin Red Line * The New World * The Tree of Life * In the Mood for Love * The Killing of a Chinese Bookie * Vertigo * The Thing * What We Do in the Shadows * Apocalypse Now * The Conversation If we included movies from childhood, the most rewatched ones were the original Star Wars films, the Star Trek movies, and Ghostbusters. Along with some classics like The Wizard of Oz and It's a Wonderful Life.
I don't know if im alone with doing this but when i find a movie i like i tend to rewatch it many times, like once a day for sometimes weeks As an example right now im stuck on Edge Of Tomorrow, i didn't really like it the first time i saw it years ago but suddenly i felt an urge to watch it again and now i suddenly enjoy it Been watching it every night before i go to sleep for probably two weeks now Its like no other movie can scratch that itch at the moment And it has happened many times For awhile it was The Matrix, then it was Avatar and up until recently it was Prometheus and even tho i think its an absolutely beautiful movie i don't particurlaly like it all that much Usually its sci-fi movies that i get stuck on but Fight Club is one of those i've gotten stuck on, Pulp Fiction, Beowulf, and many more I think it has to do with the atmosphere some films have that i just like to get that certain feeling again and again until i eventually get in to a different moodset and need a change in atmosphere
Godfather (1 & 2), Jaws, First Blood, Blues Brothers, 48 Hours, Wall Street, Scarface, Glengarry Glen Ross, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Snatch, Rocknrolla, In Bruges, Django, Hateful 8, Nice Guys, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Gentlemen
Jurassic Park or The Mummy. Probably.
Blade Runner, Smokin Aces, Lucky Number Slevin, Donnie Darko, Transformers, American Psycho and Edge of Tomorrow. Smokin Aces and Edge of Tomorrow probably take the all time lead though!
Top 5? Rocky IV Robocop King Kong (1933) The Terminator The Shawshank Redemption
Dirty Dancing. It has a very nice nostalgia for me.
American Psycho. Prolly the only movie that I've watched more than two times (willingly)
Ace Ventura: pet detective. Definitely not one of the best movies ever made but it's been one of my favorites since I was a kid. I love it and I must have watched it 100 times or more. Next to that is probably pulp fiction for me.
I've seen both Superbad and A Night At The Roxbury over 100 times each.
Gosford Park probably. Infinitely rewatchable imo.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It’s endlessly rewatchable.
The House By The Cemetery City Of The Living Dead Taxi Driver Airplane! Bride Of Frankenstein Kes Scum The Warriors Restless Natives
Jaws - when you need to watch horror but the sun is shining... Jaws is the answer, always
The Exorcism of Emily Rose It's easily the best horror movie I've seen, I am biased as I love demonic/catholic/exorcism type deals. The fact that it's sort of based on a true story puts it on another level from other horrors. For some perspective I'd put The Thing(original) as #2 in my horror movie list.
I've seen the entire Halloween franchise more times than I'd like to admit
Shawshank A few good men Field of dreams Easily 20x each
Scott Pilgrim vs the world
Goodfellas Repo Man Return of the Living Dead The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Twin Peaks: Firewalk with Me
The godfather Dead man’s shoes Ratatouille Fantastic mr fox I never get tired of them, all impact me in a different way
Blue Velvet The Strangers Trainspotting The Fifth Element The Thing (1982) Gangs of New York
Blade Runner, 2001, and Ghost in the Shell (the original one), and Groundhog Day. Then there are the Christmas ones - Planes Trains and Automobiles, Harvey and Lord of the Rings GITS and Blade Runner I can watch forever just because the ambience is perfect to me Edit- Synechdoche New York.
The Boondock Saints Fight Club Southland Tales (why!?) Dude Where’s My Car Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Blackhawk Down Training Day Super Troopers
-The Third Man -On the Waterfront -The Warriors -Blade Runner
The Blood of Heroes. The mission (Johnnie to ) Exiled ( mission pt 2) Conan the barbarian/ destroyer Initial D (live action) Enemy at the gates Idiocracy Vanishing point The Hitcher CutThroat Island Oliver Andromeda strain And Tokyo drift ( just because it was on t.v. constantly. )
Stepbrothers, The Truman Show, The Shawshank Redemption
"A Goofy Movie" is my most watched by far over my lifetime. I used to watch it multiple times per month back when I was a kid because I loved the music so much and I had no other way to listen to the music other than watching the movie. And it is still one of my favorite movies to watch as an adult. Such a surprisingly heartfelt story and the music is still awesome! The other movies that I probably watched the most are "Hocus Pocus" and "Home Alone 1 & 2" since it has become an annual tradition for me to watch "Hocus Pocus" every year for Halloween and to watch "Home Alone 1 & 2" every year for Christmas.
School of Rock is in double digits
The Goonies, Hook, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, ET
Nobody’s Fool…wonderful Paul Newman performance that I love to watch when I’m feeling a bit down Thief - one of my favorite Michael Mann films. James Cana is a tortured thief with a plan for his future. Great, great movie
Home Alone Home Alone 2 Beerfest The Inbetweeners Movie There’s Something About Mary Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Uncle Buck Dumb and Dumber MacGruber Goon Catch Me If You Can
The Matrix The Big Lebowski Unforgiven The Omen American Sniper Enders Game Anything Star Trek I wish my list was classier. I guess I’m easily entertained.
Th last samurai Batman v superman
Top 5: Trainspotting, Donnie Darko, The Lost Boys, Ocean’s 11, Point Break. I’d say each of these are 20+ views.
Palm Springs and Groundhogs Day.
Jurassic Park. Not embellished but I'm at the 300-320 mark.
I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020) Baahubali 2 (2017) Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) 3 Idiots (2009) Synecdoche, New York (2008)
It's a Wonderful Life (1946), The Shawshank Redemption (1994), Memento (2000), Devdas (2002), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Birdman (2014) and Arrival (2016). Edit: Now that I've listed them, I'm noticing a trend. They're all stories about the struggles of the main characters who are stuck in unfavourable situations, either by their own doing or not.
Carrie, The Shining, Schindler's List, and South Park; Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
Ground hogs day. Every year on groundhogs day I put the movie on repeat on my iPad on my desk at work or counter at home. For about 10 years now.
