Office Space. The Usual Suspects used to be on TV all the time back in the day and is probably a close second.
Probably Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation since it has been tradition every holiday season.
As a kid, Rescuer's Down Under or The Paper Brigade was re-watched a lot.
Apart from that, it's a close tie for:
- The Matrix
- Sin City
- The Chronicles of Riddick
- Terminator 2
- The Sandlot
- I, Robot
- Joe Dirt
Just good replay value.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail or The Fifth Element.
Monty Python's The Holy Grail
Home Alone. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I don't really rewatch movies anymore. There is so much content out there that I haven't watched, I would rather see something new than just rewatch something that I've already seen.
The Other Guys. At first glance, it's a buddy cop comedy that harkens back to Lethal Weapon, but with humor typical to ~2010. But, the more you watch it, the more Zucker brothers esque, 1980s surrealist comedy influences you notice. One of the most subtly weird and funny movies to me, I've probably seen it, no lie, 10 or 15 times.
It's been a while... but the most I have watched is The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Still know all the songs by heart :)
I have a few that will be very close as I decided a bit over a decade ago to limit myself to one rewatch a year of each to stop myself sucking all the joy out of them:
-
Alien - my favorite survival horror
-
Aliens - my favorite Nam movie
-
Jaws - my favorite version of Moby Dick, although I really like Godzilla Minus One take on Jaws
-
Jurassic Park - best big stompy monster film for me
-
Lord of the Rings - this is always over Christmas. Its not faithful enough for me to the books but it still manages to be an outstanding Trilogy.
-
Emperors New Groove - favorite body swap film
-
Nobody has said Die Hard?!?
See it here on !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee:
The Shawshank Redemption.
Not completely by my own choice, but I feel like I've seen National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - at least in part - once or more per holiday season since it was released.
The same is true of Elf, but obviously that movie is quite a bit more recent.
For movies I've watched the most by my own choice, it's probably the Kill Bills or Inglorious Basterds, but those have got to be way behind in raw count. Goonies and the Back to the Future series probably have honorable mentions because of how long they've been around and continue to be a fun watch.
- Liar, Liar
- Office Space
- Happy Gilmore
- The Fifth Element
- Ace Ventura 2
- Nat. Lampoons Christmas Vacation
- Planes, Trains & Automobiles
- The Big Lebowski
I think Lotr movies.
Spirited away... Something about the first opening notes of the piano when that movie starts always moves me and fills me with such warm feelings.
Honestly most studio Ghibli movies I've watched a lot... But man... Spirited away does something to me.
Not sure but these are on repeat at my house:
Lord of the Rings trilogy
Hot Fuzz
Into the Spiderverse
Pride and Prejudice, the one with Keira Knightly
So one of them but not sure which.
Firefly
- grammas boy
- back to the future (all of them)
- Ace ventura
- the mask
- good will hunting
- Beetlejuice
- hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
Star Wars
The Matrix
Kill BillProbably my top 3. Airplane!
Joe Versus The Volcano (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0099892/) is my all time re-watch movie. So many themes, great cinematography, and very mythic.
If you've never seen it, your in for a treat!
Hook. Forrest Gump.
Usual Suspects.
Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade
Saw this one so many times when I was younger
saving private ryan, just such a good movie. and a Christmas story every year
- Princess Bride
- Muppet Christmas Carol
- Lord of the Rings
- The Beauty and the Beast
- The Sword in the Stone
- Dumb and Dumber
- Young Frankenstein
- Nightmare Before Christmas
The Life Aquatic. I just absolutely adore the sad, disappointed and fragile characters. Fuckin hilarious!
The Star Wars OT. Probably ROTJ specifically. That was like an every weekend thing when I was a kid.
Airplane! And Star Trek the Wrath of Khan.
Maybe Lawrence of Arabia or Tora Tora Tora!.
EDIT: The Back to the Future trilogy and the original three Star Wars movies are probably up there too.
WALL-E
There was a period of time in middle school where I was obsessed with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Definitely not my favorite film anymore (not even my favorite Monty Python film), but since I don't really rewatch things nowadays it maintains its record.
Unless you count the one of the Disney movies my baby sister watched 3 times a day every day for months.
Robinhood Prince of Thieves
Probably The Naked Gun
Probably A Knight's Tale. Though Con-Air seemed to be on TV at least once a week for years.
That thing you do and Empire records
Heat.
- Shawshank
- The Great Escape
- Beyond the Clouds
- Groundhog Day
Aliens The Martian Fifth Element Forrest Gump Stranger Than Fiction Incredibles Ice Age Shrek Passengers Oblivion Edge of Tomorrow
The Shining, then Practical Magic
I used to fall asleep to John dies at the end for awhile so partial watches that wins hands down. But actually watching the whole movie probably lord of the rings or young Frankenstein.
I don't smoke much weed anymore,but when I do, I watch The pick of destiny or Dude where's my car
FIRE WALK WITH ME
Stardust.
Ever? Probably Return of the Jedi
Maybe Revenge of the Sith, but I'm pretty sure it's Return of the Jedi
Tron Legacy, the vibe is captivating.
Die hard or home alone
Constantine, and A Knight's Tale.
Pacific Rim
I know it has to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon because it's the only movie I ever watched enough to literally wear out the tape when I only had it on VHS. There were times in high school I would just play it on repeat all day.
Kingdom of Heaven
For a while, it was weirdly "Long Kiss Goodnight". It was getting heavy rotation on TV during my high-school exams, and improbaly watched it 15 times over the few weeks I was meant to be studying.
But now, probably LOTR extended edition, which I've seen every year since it came out, at my friend's annual birthday celebrations.
"Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel" (Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella). It runs at least a dozen times around each Christmas since I was a kid, and is part of the usual Christmas habits.
Dodgeball
Predestination. Sarah Snook is just incredible.
Smiley Face. Great Anna Farris stoner flick!
has to be old bud spencer and terrence hill movies, pretty popular in germany. I know there is a couple of them, but they are all pretty much the same anyway. ;-)
Aliens
Robocop.
Thought it might be the Matrix, but then I remember that when my parents separated we only had one tape at my moms, Robocop, and no like movie channels. I was rewatching it like crazy.
Honestly it might be Finding Nemo. I think it was the first DVD we had and my younger sister was obsessed with it, so I'd watch it a lot with her. Things I'd watch at my own accord it's probably LOTR or Harry Potter though.
- The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
- Mulholland Drive
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
In the last few years? The Magic Sword (1962) about 7 times I think and I could go for another.
Conan the Barbarian History of the World pt1 Star wars Raiders of the Lost arc Master and Commander
Summer Wars. And it still tears me up.
I have played Wonka multiple times a day, every day at my house since it released for streaming.
As a kid, it was a cartoon - The Little Mermaid. As an adult... It is a cartoon - Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse.
Full Metal Jacket.
Best war movie and best Kubrick movie of all time.
Rogue One
GoodFellas
Honestly, it's probably Little Nicky for me. I do enjoy the movie myself, but back in my highschool days my main group of friends I would hang out and smoke weed with could always agree on this movie. If anyone would complain about what someone else wanted to watch too much, or none of us had a good idea for anything else, we would usually just throw Little Nicky on and be happy enough. I'll still watch every now and then even though I could recite the thing by rote.
I can't say if RoboCop, Terminator, Blade Runner or El mundo es nuestro (I've never seen my parents laugh so hard).
In my childhood my mom would rewatch some movies like the animated Beauty and the Beast, or The Sound of Music and I watched it with her.
Interstate 60
Let the bullets fly. It's a Chinese classic, I watch it with all my friends that have enot heard it before and they all love it.
Ben-Hur. Loved it in my youth, when TV still aired this kind of movies regularly, and I absolutely love it and like to review it from time to time. There are others I've watched again lots if times (Star Wars, The Matrix...) but Ben-Hur is number one.
I'm afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:
2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Miller's Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard's seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
From Russia With Love.
The Spy Who Loved Me.All of these movies my family sits down and watches at least once a year:
Harry Potter series.. All of them.
LoTR/ Hobbit.. All of them.
Paul
Strictly Ballroom
Princess Bride
Music Man 1962 version
Court Jester 1955 with Danny Kaye
The Martian.
It's my go-to when I just want something to watch.
I can't say if RoboCop, Terminator, Blade Runner or El mundo es nuestro.
The LotR Extended trilogy
There's a dumb Italian Horror movie called Del Amore d'ella Muerte (Cemetary Man in English speaking territories) that I absolutely love. It was made in the 90s and stars Rupert Everrit as a graveyard keeper who fights a zombie invasion with his mute assistant.
Hard to explain but the universe they create is very comfy where he's drinking red wine and shooting zombies.
2001: A Space Odyssey
BTTF
I’m not the kind of person who rewatches or rereads stuff. The only thing that I can rewatch endlessly is Pacific Rim. That movie is perfection for me. I even went to watch it on IMAX 3 times.
