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.

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.

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.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

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  
If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!

^ 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.

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)

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
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

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!

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

Not sure of the top 5. 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.

How old are you?
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.
