Most Watched Film?

Skerries

to stop this turning into a list thread you have to give 2 lines about the film including if it is actually your favourite film or not and roughly if you can how many times you've watched it

Mine is Aliens, I have watched this many times somewhere in the 20's across the various formats including VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray. I would say it is in my top 2 alongside Blade Runner

Mine is probably Life of Brian. IMO the best comedy of all time, I'm still finding new jokes in it, and it still makes me do a real life laugh out loud to this day.

Adamantium

Shaun of The Dead. The original Anchorman. Terminator. Collateral
Classics

Peterx

Grosse Point Blank.
The 80's soundtrack, John Cusack, John Cusack employing all his friends and family on the shoot, a good story with plenty of humour and then the fight scene ending with the pen being mightier than the sword is just..visceral.

And the reason Grosse Point Blank is my most watched movie is because I lent my copy of Run Lola Run to a friend about 7 years ago. Now that's a movie with a soundtrack.

Blazin' Saddles closely followed by The Big Lebowski

The Avengers, I could watch it over and over.
Stepbrothers or dodgeball, since I've watched them with friends over and over and over.
Layer cake, for the same reasons.

Die Hard 1/2, The Rock.

Usual Xmas ones: Home Alone 1/2, It's a Wonderful Life, Die Hard 1/2 ;-)

The Shawshank Redemption

I am sure somebody else will mention this one too, but I just keep on coming back to this film again and again.
It is just such a fascinating story and the ending always brings a smile to me.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day

My favourite film from my childhood, and I still find just as engrossing to this day.
The CGI still looks very good to this day, and the the set pieces are pure brilliance in how they where executed, especially John Connor's first case sequence with the T1000.

Probably The Matrix. I remember we got it on DVD at Christmas (first DVD we ever bought) and I must have watched it about 10 times before school started again. I watched it another 8-10 times up to when the sequels were released and since then have probably watched it 2/3 times in its entirety. I've caught bits of it too while channel surfing.

The Jurassic Park and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation VHS tapes were nearly worn out too if I remember right

The Shawshank Redemption, just a superb piece of film making, probably not my most watched film of my life, that probably some disney movie i watched 100 times back in the day, but cant remember it now, but i generally watch Shawshank at least once a year, its just perfection on a disc:)

Batman Begins, another great film that i think is generally overlooked of the 3 nolan films, ive probably watched it 12 times in the 9 years its been out, for me its the best if nolans batmans, but i am a sucker for origin stories,

Armageddon, now this is just pure cinematic porn, but i tend to fall back on it a lot for those nights where i just want a bit of epic entertainment, but it also has a great story to boot, some epic scenes, 1 or two teary scenes (greatest man i ever knew), its kind of universally hated for some reason, but its just as plausible as a man building a flying suit or a guy who can turn into a giant green rage monster,

Aliens is that one film that I've watched and read up on so much that I pretty much know everything about it and it's production.

Another film I can think of that gets watched all the time, even if it appears on TV, is Fight Club. One of those films that has that constant rewatchability to it for me.

Man, I've been thinking about this since the thread started. There's a few movies I watch a couple of times every year, trying to figure out one is hard.

It's probably Star Wars (The OT). I watched them as a kid, and every few months get the urge to watch them again. If anything is gonna beat it out, it'd be Leon: The Professional. I remember taping off the television years ago, I was around eleven or twelve. The ads looked awesome, and I wore the tape out watching it. Great action flick, some of the best performances I've seen from every actor in it. Who would've thought back then that little Mathilda would go on to be in other Star Wars movies I'd end up hating. The world is weird.

I'd say for me personally, it would probably be Home Alone or Die Hard 1.

They are always on every Christmas and I never seem to be able to change the channel no matter how many times I've seen them.

Not saying they are my favourite films though.

Theboinkmaster

Easily Die Hard as i watch it every Christmas without fail. Best action film ever IMO and have probably seen it about 30 times.

In second place would be True Lies i could watch that film all day long, has everything you'd want in a film. I'd say I've seen it about 15 times.

Skylinehead

Definitely as a kid, either Star Wars or, ummm, Twister.

In particular for your mention of Armageddon:

HARREEEEEE I LOOOOVE YOUUUUUU

This is Spinal Tap - absolute gem of a film that never gets old. I could even watch the movie with commentary on, over and over again.

longshotvalue

Its close between Before Sunset and Lost in Translation. Funnily enough ive watched before Sunset much more than the other 2 films in the series..

GerB40

Goodfellas. "From as far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster" Tony Bennett - 'rags to riches' comes in and the rest is just glorious...

Make a pointless list of reasons why.

Littlehorny

As already mentioned Goodfellas, its just so well made.
Have watched Snatch loads of times, Bricktop should have a prequel made about him.
Also have watched Love Actually loads of times, not usually my sort of thing but its a Christmas film with a lot of intertwining story lines in it, just like it.

... and guess what just happens to be on ITV2 right now

Tony EH

Got to be either 'Star Wars' or 'Day of the Dead'.

'Harold and Maude' - must have watched it over twenty times and every time I find something I didn't spot the first time. There are so many outstanding perfomances in it - Harold's mother, the weird priest, the army guy, so much fun.

Might fit it in again this weekend.

Have also watched 'Abba - The Movie' at least ten times, many of them in the cinema when it first came out. Sorry, but it's true.

Starscream25

Star Wars episodes 4-6, aliens, terminator, predator, terminator 2, toy story, Conan the barbarian, lost count how many times I've seen each film but a lot I'd say

I mentioned Goodfellas and to be honest it was a toss up between that and Snatch. Bricktop is fúcking class.. And Brad Pitt deserved an Oscar for his portrayal of the pikey.

For me its got to be the Original Star Trek films all six of them and then the Next Gen Films.They just have everything you want in a good space film beautifull ships lots of action well in most of them,good acting and most a decent story too. I know The Motion picture is very slow moving but the Enterprise just looks absolutly beautifull in it. Leonard Nimoy actually said he over acted in this that he could have been a bit less stoic. It said he felt he acted too much like a pure Vulcan and did not get to show any emotions in the film till near the end.Its the way the film was written and the director wanted it like that. Being half human he should have been allowed to show a little more emotion in the film.
I have watched all the films at least 30 times maybe even more.

Aliens too is brilliant and some StarWars also.Have watched them films maney times too.
