I haven't known what movies to watch lately. Does everyone have their own treasure movies that they've seen many times? 😀

I’ve watched a lot of movies more than 3 times.

12 monkeys is the movie I’ve seen most, though, coming in at multiple dozens of watches over the years. It’s easily my favorite. It kicked off a new way of thinking for me when I was an impressionable young teen, and has largely held up in terms of watchability.

The tv show based on it couldn’t have done a worse job of holding my attention, though. So that was disappointing.

Rear window by Hitchcock

[–] bunkyprewster@startrek.website 2 points 3 weeks ago

Strictly Ballroom, Baz Luhrman's first movie

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

I have a lot.

One that gets almost no love anywhere is "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."

I get that Brangelina was already played out before the movie even opened, but it's well worth a look. Enough comedy, action, and romance for three separate movies.

Rear Window never gets old

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Holy shit, so so many. But I'll mention some favorites that I don't think everyone has seen.

Top Secret, The Pentagon wars, Down Periscope, Men in Tights, CHIPS.

I think they're all quite funny. But if I had to suggest just one, CHIPS will probably be a solid choice for most peoole. It's modern and really funny. (18+)

A few off the top of my head:

  • Donnie Darko ; I'm a little more partial to the directors cut

  • Kill Bill Volume 1 & 2 ; watched pretty much all Tarentino stuff several times, but this one the most. Inglorious Bastards comes pretty close.

  • Gone Girl ; I love David Fincher. Only a coincidence that I've happened to have watched this one the most.

  • The Big Labowski ;

  • Shrek 1 & 2 ; watched an inconceivable amount of times. Rewatched Shrek 1 in Spanish and was blown away how hilarious it was. Turns out the script was readapted by Mexican comedians instead just a translation, and was the closest of a chance I've ever had to watch a movie again for the first time

Do the DBZA movies count?

Because I've watched them all about 7 or 8 times now lol

Amelie for the feels. Friday for the laughs.

[–] bright_side_@piefed.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

An outlier for Me that I rewatched often is Xmen 2 for some reason. Nostalgia and vibe just hits Me with that one.

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think I've ever watched a movie more than 3 times... Maybe Howl's Moving Castle. Possibly A Chinese Ghost Story: The Tsui Hark Animation, as well.

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

I struggled to recall a movie I watched three times, I very rarely rewatch movies. Then I remembered, Wicked! I watched it once when it came out, then again when it released in better quality to piracy sites, then once again with my cousins :3

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago

9 To 5 Baraka Baghdad Cafe

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

Very very few. I don't usually rewatch anything.
The few that stand out are: The Usual Suspects, Star Wars series (first 6), Die Hard (first 2), some others maybe.

I don't think I ever rewatched a series though. No patience for that.

Trick r' Treat, every year around Halloween, even before spirit made a bunch of merch for it

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

For some reason as a teenager I watched Fantastic Mr Fox about 17 times over several years. It is a good movie, but I can't say I recommend anyone else watch it that much. Once is enough.

[–] xpey@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not a movie person at all, but for some reason Everything Everywhere All At Once, and The Truman Show, both hold a very special place in my heart and I have seen them countless times each.

That and the Steven Universe movie, but I'm guessing that's not a very good first watch lol
