*have you SEEN
i only ask coz i'm watching Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels atm. prolly for about the 50th time in my life, at least. i cant imagine any hot blooded male not liking it. 10 years later and it's still fucking brilliant.

so what's your's?

i'm interested in seeing the king of kings of the bbmb movies thread's answer

Either Birdy or Diner, upward of 80 times each, but it's been a long time since I kept count.

One of the following:

The Wizard of Oz (solid gold classic, was on a lot in my household as a kid)
Wayne's World (<-- watched this on pretty much a daily basis at one point in my childhood)
Star Wars 4, 5 or 6 (these videos would get heavily sessioned when I was young)
Blue Streak (used to love that movie, good stupid fun)
GoldenEye (was obsessed with the game and film for about 3 years)

I have seen Pulp Fiction, Shaun of the Dead and Help! many, many times as well but not quite as many as the ones I named. They're all classics. (y)

i used to watch lebowski and office space everyday after school, i've probably seen either one
of those over 100 times easy. come to think of i did the same thing with star wars in elementary
school, but since there are 3 of them, to a lesser extent with each.

once when i was five or six my mom showed me how to work the vcr and i watched mary poppins
over and over again from 6am to 10pm, bedtime.

lastly, i saw jurassic park nine times in the theatre when it came out, thats my personal record.

weird, I think Lock Stock is the movie I've seen most. in college, we borrowed cable from the neighbors and when they left, it was gone and we didn't buy an antenna for the t.v., so we just watched movies all the time. I'd watch Lock Stock almost every day, sometimes more than once. :/

otherwise:
Big Lebowski
Raising Arizona
Valley Girl
Princess Bride
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
How Stella Got Her Groove Back (not kidding)

That's probably in my top seven or so.

I had a neighbor I used to get high with, and the only movies we could really agree on watching together were Naked Gun and Die Hard. So I've seen both of those quite a bit.

I always watch To Kill a Mockingbird and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

I am also big on the Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when the are on TV. My wife always laughs when I am watching the Sound of Music and I usually start singing-Doe, a deer, a female deer Ray, a drop of golden sun Me, a name I call myself Far, a long long way to run Sew, a needle pulling thread La, a note to follow sew Tea, I drink with jam and bread That will bring us back to do...oh oh oh

I don't get it because I love dark dramas and odd films yet I just can't get the early musical films out of my system. I guess I wish people would just break out into song during the day to spice up the day.

Wayne's World was one of those movies like Team America: laughed like crazy the first time I saw it, saw it a second time and it just
laid there. Nothing.

Baffling.

some mentioned on here like one flew over the cuckoos nest, shawshank and goodfellas are fuckin great films but i cant watch them over and over. They are lengthy intense kinda films that i have to mentally prepare to watch if you know what i mean. I have to be in the mood to watch them.

You know what? Technically, the movie I've seen the most times is probably Top Gun.

When I worked for the music store and we started selling laserdisc players, that was, like, the demonstration disc of the day, so my boss
had it on heavy rotation all the time.

I've never actually sat to watch it, but I've seen the whole thing in bits and pieces a bunch of times. I hated it.

What was particularly awful was that scene where Cruise and what'shisname in Zodiac sing "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling." It looked
pretty homoriffic, which made me instantly think of how my best friend and I would take the speedboat out at night, throw down the
anchors and get drunk, and often wind up howling that song together ourselves (I had a Phil Spector 8-track). It hadn't occurred to me
that this would be something to be ashamed of.
