I can't think of many movies that I've seen more than 2 or 3 times.

A CHRISTMAS STORY, because it's on every year.

Other than that, I've watched several MST3K versions of films maybe as many or 4-6 times each; they have lots of replayability.

In Bruges is also on my list  :teddyr:
Snatch I don't watch as much as In Bruges but about 3 times a year or something, probably, same goes for Lock, stock and two smoking barrels.

The streetfighter (with Sonny Chiba)
Night of the living dead
Dawn of the dead

There are none that I watch once a month, but plenty that I try to watch one or more times a year:

During the Christmas season:

* SCROOGE and A CHRISTMAS CAROL (Albert Finney, Alastair Sim, Reginald Owen, Seymour Hicks, and even the Rich Little versions)
* A CHRISTMAS STORY

Random times throughout the year:

* THE GODFATHER TRILOGY
* DELIVERANCE
* PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES
* AMERICAN GRAFFITI
* MARTY (with Ernest Borgnine before he became a B-Movie icon)
* JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (James Mason)
* WAR OF THE WORLDS (Gene Barry)
* MEAN STREETS
* SERPICO
* DOG DAY AFTERNOON
* TAXI DRIVER
* THE FRENCH CONNECTION
* SHAFT (original)
* MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE
* THE WILD BUNCH

There are several others, but this should give you a pretty good idea.

I've seen Alien and Aliens so many times I've got most of the dialogue memorized.  I've also seen Terminator 1 & 2, Predator and Mad Max a whole ton of times.  I don't really watch those movies any more though because I've just seen them too many times.  These days, maybe Ghosts of Mars and Journey to the Center of the Earth (the Greg Evigan version).  They're just fun B movies I like to toss in the DVD player every few months.

Post by: JaseSF on August 03, 2010, 01:14:06 PM

The Trollenberg Terror (The Crawling Eye)

About two, three years ago I watched Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (1988) a couple of times. Haven't seen since it was first released and was more than happy that I finally found and bought the DVD.
I used to watch Purple Rain (1984) religiously back in the day, and Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985). Fright Night (1985) went on repeated viewing as well.
In the mid 90s I discovered A Night to Dismember (1983) and that one became one of my most watched in the 90s, along with The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993).
I watch these at least once or twice a year:

Poltergeist (1982)
Let's Scare Jessica To Death (1971)
Sole Survivor (1983)
Troll 2 (1990)
Showgirls (1995)
Prophecy (1979)
The Shining (1980)
Terror at Tenkiller (1986)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Strange Brew
Star Wars, Episode IV, A New Hope
The Music Man
The Wizard of Oz
The Muppet Movie

Movies I watch now with fair regularity:

The Forbidden Zone
Shakes the Clown
The Bob Hope/Bing Crosby Road to... movies

I have a VERY limited amount of dvds and vhs'es - too ashamed to mention how many - but I always come back to:

Maniac (1980)
Deep Red

Post by: Umaril The Unfeathered on August 12, 2010, 02:27:02 PM

For some odd reason (mostly because it's downright strange) I watch Frankenstein Conquers The World  and sometimes the sequel, War Of The Gargantuas.  There's a human quality to the creatures that just dosen't exist in Toho's other monster films.

Others that get repeated views..

Night Of The Living Dead 1968 as well as the original Dawn and Day.

Loads of Shaw Brothers movies, among them:

Kid With The Golden Arm
Five Deadly Venoms
The Chinatown Kid and Avenging Eagle to name a few.

I also repeatedly view some of the old Three Stooges episodes, chief among them are A Plumbing We Will Go and Three Hams On Rye and False Alarms being a few faves.

A lot of other stuff, but this is just part of it.

Thanks to my daughter's recent obsessions, I've been watching Care Bears Movie 1 & 2 and Harry Potter 1 & 2 several times a week.

I also enjoy watching Romancing the Stone as often as possible because my husband always tells me the story about how it was the first VHS movie his family bought and the only movie they owned for a very long time, so he's memorized the entire movie.  I really like the movie too, but it just tickles me every time I make him watch it AGAIN.

Aside from those, I usually watch Nightmare on Elmstreet movies, Hammer movies, other Harry Potter movies, The 3 Amigos, and Troll 1&2 whenever they're on TV.. which seems to be often lately.

Romero made a new one in the last year or two called Diary of the Dead.  It's been on some of the movie channels a lot lately.  It's done Blair-Witch style, as a documentary with the camera as first-person.  Not great, but interesting I thought.

If you liked Shaun of the Dead, you must have seen Hot Fuzz.  And if not, go watch it immediately.  That movie is hilarious.

Since I just watched them again recently, I'll add a few to my list:

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Oddly, this is the only Kevin Smith movie I have really enjoyed.
Better Off Dead. I want my two dollars!
One Crazy Summer. Bobcat Goldthwaite in a Godzilla costume. What more could a movie want?  :tongueout:
Undercover Brother. Dave Chapelle saves this from being a one-sided bash-whitey movie, and racism in all forms is ridiculed. It's also got just the right balance with a hero who is competent but who has silly flaws that keep him from being too over the top.
Popeye. As I said in the Recently Watched thread, I still think this is one of the best live-action cartoon-based movies ever done, and it is incredible on a visual level--Sweet Haven is amazingly well done.


Title: Re: Any movies you watch repeatedly?

Short list:
UHF
Clerks.
Cannibal! The Musical
Ghostbusters

Frankenstein Conquers The World.  I like the idea of an actual living Frankenstein, and how he winds up showing very distinct human emotions.

I also like the surreal quality of the entire film, and way that they tell you just enough about the creature w\o actually pinning down just how he came to be.
It leaves you guessing in a very entertaining way.

I also watch War Of The Gargantuas a lot too, because of the unusual humanization of Frankenstein Sanda and Frankenstein Gaira.  Unlike most Toho monsters, weapons actually hurt them, and they displayed a clearly defined moral conflict with each other.

In general, from the emotional approach in each movie, to the ability of the actors to use natural facial and eye expressions in WOTG, Toho made a very good pair of movies that I think Mr. Honda and crew never really gave themselves enough credit for.  :cheers:

Plan 9 From Outer Space

Together with Robot Monster, two of THE worst films ever made, of course I say that lovingly  :smile:

I have an old VHS tape that has both "Ed Wood" and "Up in Smoke" on it. My best friend and I would always watch it when we got drunk. Also we would break out a tape of the "MST3K" version of "Zombie Nightmare" quite a bit too.

Other than that, I've watched several MST3K versions of films maybe as many or 4-6 times each; they have lots of replayability.
Ditto, as I can never remember the riffs, save one or two occaisonally. Final Sacrifice makes me laugh the tenth time as much as it did the first time.

Aside from a few personal favorites, I generally am not one for "repeated viewings," I'd rather watch something I've never seen before over something I've seen a bunch of times. There are a few exceptions, though.

I've seen "RoboCop" (aka My Favorite Movie Ever) dozens of times.

During college I hung out with a gang of Rocky Horror geeks and therefore I saw that probably a dozen times or so over the course of a couple of years. 

And of course I'll always make time for certain personal favorites ("Star Wars," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," etc.), For example, if "Airplane" comes on while I'm channel surfing, I HAVE to stop and watch it. Not only because I love that movie and it rules, but also because the film irritates my wife to no end. Haha.

I watch Night Of The Living Dead a fair share, though not enough to call it repeatedly. 

There's just something about the way the film opens, so normal and unassuming, and how it goes from zero to nightmare in about 5 minutes. Not to mention the other things that made it great (and still does) over the years..  :thumbup:

If you talking about the wrestling documentary, "Beyond the Mat" I totally agree, it's awesome. I also reccomend a doc on Bret "The Hitman" Hart called "Wrestling with Shadows." It shows how Vince McMahon screwed him royally! I don't know if it's staged or not, but it's really interesting.

Ye-es.

"Lair of the White Worm." Because like so many of Ken Russell's films, there is so much going on, that no matter how many times you see it, you almost always pick up something new. Here are two examples.

I never notice this before, till I saw a still of the scene, but Kevin (Chris Pitt) has an empty brandy snifter in front of him. No wonder he fell for the villainess' wiles. He was not only drunk with lust for her, but he was physically drunk as well. But bad idea pimmy pog. There is a good reason brandy is served as an after dinner drink. It is strong stuff, so you don't want to drink it on an empty stomach, as he did.

Something that was pointed out in a discussion of the film. Not only does the villainess Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe) shed her cars like a snake sheds its skin, but she sheds her nylon stockings as well. In the film, she wears at least four different colours: white, black, brown, and blue. And each colour represents something different. White = Life. Black = Death. Brown = Earth. And Blue = Sky.
