Title: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: RCMerchant on February 21, 2021, 06:40:56 AM I'm not sure of this, of course- but it's dam close.
1. the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY (1966)- I seen this movie so many times in the 70's on uhf TV late at night. I love this movie. 2. BRIDE OF THE MONSTER (1955) I seen this on late night TV- but seen it a lot when I had no cable and a vhs player. Not many vhs tapes at the time, either. I still watch it. 3. the WIZARD OF OZ (1939) My Dad used to make a big pot of oily popcorn whenever this f**king movie came on TV as long as I can remember. I like it a lot! And I ain't a musical kinda guy. Unless it's Busby Berkley. 4. any 3 stooges short- I been watching these guys since I was a little whipper snapper in the 60's. 5. the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974) Just because I love it.

Post by: Alex on February 21, 2021, 07:58:06 AM At a guess (and not counting Ash's cartoons):
Aliens. The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The Thing. Galaxy of Terror. Predator. Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: Rev. Powell on February 21, 2021, 09:31:44 AM I rarely watch movies more than twice, so this is difficult.
Definitely THE WIZARD OF OZ is #1. Probably WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY next. STAR WARS. ERASERHEAD. I'm going to guess PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE for the last one. Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: RCMerchant on February 21, 2021, 09:44:55 AM ^ Really? You rarely watch a movie more than twice? :question:
How did you manage that? Even since when you were a child? I mean, they re-ran movies over and over for decades. And we didn't always have streaming s**t like we do now. For some reason that's hard for me to wrap my head around. I believe ya, Rev! You're an unusual guy! :cheers: Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: RCMerchant on February 21, 2021, 09:57:25 AM At a guess (and not counting Ash's cartoons): The Thing.

Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: RCMerchant on February 21, 2021, 10:04:05 AM ^ than how are you going to watch an old movie if it's not on a TV screen?
It's not often you get to see NOSFERATU (1922) in a movie theater. Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: claws on February 21, 2021, 10:04:15 AM Halloween (1978) - been watching this almost every year on halloween.
The Silence of the Lambs (1991) - one of my most watched in the 90s. - I'm having deja vu. I'm sure I've replied to a thread like this here not too long ago :bouncegiggle: Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982) - probably my favorite Steve Martin film. I still need to get the blu-ray of this. Airplane! (1980) - never fails to crack me up. The Shining (1980) - never get tired of watching this over and over. Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: claws on February 21, 2021, 10:09:03 AM I wouldn't usually watch a movie on TV if I'd seen it before. I never really liked watching movies on TV anyway, commercials ruin the experience. Same. I quit watching TV in 2005 or 2006. TV doesn't love movies, they use it as a platform for their commercials only and they edit the films as they see fit. If I want to watch a movie I pop in a disc. I have about 3,500 movies on DVD and blu-ray. Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: RCMerchant on February 21, 2021, 10:10:57 AM Halloween (1978) - been watching this almost evey year on halloween. Airplane! (1980) - never fails to crack me up. The Shining (1980) - never get tired of watching this over and over. I seen these lots of times too! I seen all 3 of them at the movie theater! :thumbup: I watch the SHINING every year on Halloween! http://youtu.be/5Cb3ik6zP2I (http://youtu.be/5Cb3ik6zP2I) Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other?

If I want to watch a movie I pop in a disc. I have about 3,500 movies on DVD and blu-ray. But you watch them on your TV, right? Like a TV set? If you watch it on a TV- that counts. I didn't start watching BRIDE OF THE MONSTER countless times until I bought a vhs from Sinister Cinema in 1995. Then I watched it every week for awhile- until I bought WHITE ZOMBIE...I should include that, I reckon. EDIT: Rev ain't a youngster. I'm sure he watched movies before dvd and blu-ray. Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: claws on February 21, 2021, 10:16:54 AM yep, on my HD set, but I don't have TV programs/channels connected. I do have YouTube on my TV though but I don't use any streaming services like Netflix or Disney+
Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: Alex on February 21, 2021, 10:22:21 AM Do you guys not have anything along the BBC which shows movies without adverts?
Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: RCMerchant on February 21, 2021, 10:24:44 AM I don't know! I live in Michigan, my friend! :drink:
I ain't got s**t around here but an empty dinner plate! Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: claws on February 21, 2021, 10:31:30 AM Do you guys not have anything along the BBC which shows movies without adverts? We do but the movies they show are usually dubbed in German (I'm located in Germany), mostly without an option for original language track. I hate watching movies dubbed to German. They sound awful and they cheapen the film. Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: zombie no.one on February 21, 2021, 02:09:14 PM DAZED & CONFUSED
GOODFELLAS THE BEAST MUST DIE PEE WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE JAWS guessing here obviously but I must have watched each of those at least 20 times edit, of course I forgot my #1 most watched movie by a mile: NUTS IN MAY Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other?

By TV I meant on broadcast television, not VHS or DVD or Netflix. I saw EVEN DWARFS STARTED SMALL again last night, so that might move into my top 5. Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: Allhallowsday on February 21, 2021, 03:18:27 PM Do you guys not have anything along the BBC which shows movies without adverts? TCM shows movies "uncut commercial free" 24 - 7 which is where I usually watch movies these days. For example, TCM showed COFFY Friday night around midnight, I watched it (again) followed by PIRANHA (1978) which was actually interesting... THE WIZARD OF OZ NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD LAWRENCE OF ARABIA THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN THE WOMEN probably top the list... I've seen these more times than I can count : THE TEN COMMANDMENTS KING OF KINGS (1961) BEN HUR THE ROBE 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY FASTER PnSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! THE HOMECOMING DEATH IN VENICE SPARTACUS MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: RCMerchant on February 21, 2021, 03:38:30 PM ^ I left out NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD !
That movie...yeah. I still find it devastating. On a number of disturbing levels. George Romero never made a better movie. And he made a lot of cool movies.

Post by: LilCerberus on February 21, 2021, 06:09:34 PM came up with about a dozen & only managed to eliminate five, so here's seven in no particular order......
Dudes (1987) Mad Max (1979) Rumble Fish (1983) Easy Rider (1969) The Legend of Boggy Creek (1972) Golden Apples of the Sun (1973) (as Caged Terror) Up in Smoke (1978) Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: bob on February 21, 2021, 06:25:01 PM I have no idea -- had a list of 50 narrowed to this
1 Star Wars original trilogy 2 Happy Gilmore 3 Pulp Fiction 4 Saw 5 Dr. Strangelove 6 The Shining 7 The Big Lebowski 8 The Dark Knight Trilogy 9 The Shawshank Redemption 10 Eyes Wide Shut 11 Predator 12 Ghostbusters Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: barnsiclese on February 21, 2021, 08:15:27 PM Found a couple of decent looking films in these lists that I had never heard of, always nice to see what films other people love.
Off the top of my head: Searching For Sugarman The Shining Sightseers The Terminator The Room Although I think Amelie, Taxi, Delicatessen and City of the Lost Children, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Leon, anything with Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan or Jet Li, anything with Arnold Schwarzenegger should all probably be there instead from my teenage years, they all got watched many, many times. And the Descent.. This is more difficult than I imagined! Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other? Post by: zombie no.one on February 22, 2021, 12:00:02 AM Do you guys not have anything along the BBC which shows movies without adverts? no adverts but instead send threatening letters insisting you pay them money even if like me you don't watch tv I had a letter once off them that just said: "You know... ...and We Know" that was it! no other text. creepy Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other?

Off the top of my head: anything with Bruce Lee, Dam! Bruce Lee movies! I can't even count how many times I've seen ENTER THE DRAGON!

The top two would probably be Transformers: The Movie (1986) and GI Joe: The Movie (1987). These were my two favorite cartoons as a child and a rare case where I had them on VHS, DVD, and finally Blu-ray.
One year I counted and I watched Transformers: The Movie 8 times in that year alone. Oddly enough I’ve only seen the first Michael Bay Transformers movie. I didn’t like it.

Not trying to be nosy- but a TRANSFORMERS movie? I'm guessing your about 25. If your older than that-your life is more pathetic than mine. Title: Re: What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other?
