For me, it’s either the Matrix or Pulp Fiction. I have seen both a lot of times but certainly not more often than say a dozen times.

Just saw Primer for the first time, so I'm gonna need to preemptively answer: Primer.

Ooooh I completely forgot Primer!

Gangs of Wasseypur. It's a 5-hour movie, split into two parts. But really, it's just one epic story. I've watched it countless number of times. While in college, me and my mates would get high and watch this movie. I've probably watched it with most of my friends at least once.

Two other movies that come close are Pulp Fiction and Bhooter Bhobishyot.

A Silent Voice, really beautiful movie about bullying and redemption. I watched it a few years ago when I was in a really bad place, and it helped me a lot.

3 Idiots, a feel-good Indian movie.

In no particular order besides alphabetical (all movies rewatched over a dozen times):

  • Atomic Blonde
  • Bad Boys 1 and 2
  • Bourne Trilogy
  • Back To The Future trilogy
  • Deja Vu
  • Eraser
  • LOTR trilogy

There are many more, but I'm not gonna sit here and try to remember them all.

I gotta go with Primer because it pretty much is necessary to re-watch it multiple times to understand what is going on.

"Hot Rod", "Accepted", or "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

I used to fall asleep watching Twister on VHS. Something about the substandard quality and tracking sound really sealed the deal when I needed to catch some Zzz's.

I watched it so many times that I wore out the tape.

[–] gamer99@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I’m not sure why but I will find myself rewatching Catch me if you can every couple of years on a whim. Something about it compels me

Hateful Eight. The acting, pacing, dialogue all 10/10 IMO. It just feels cozy watching it.

[–] Raxiel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As a kid, Tremors, Aliens, and Police Academy 4. Those were films we had on VHS (recorded from the TV). The first two were on the same 4h cassette, recorded in glorious long play mode and the write protection tab broken out for safety.

More than a dozen watches for each of those.

As an adult, there's a few had multiple watches. No idea what's the "most" but the ones that stick out are: Charlie's Angels - the mid 2000's one with Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Lu. Blade 2 The fast and the Furious The terminator Kill Bill

Freddy got fingered, to the point a friend and me could retell the whole movie word for word.

Beerfest, back to the future 1+2, the big lebowski are some of my repeat picks.

As a kid I spent probably a week sitting under a table in my room, rewatching A New Hope on a portable dvd player over and over and over. I thought that I should watch it until I had every line memorized, and then move onto ESB (which I never did for obvious reasons)

So probably ANH, followed by any other SW movie, then Mad Max Fury Road and Sicario
