For me, it's THE GODFATHER. I saw it at the drive-in, on VHS, cable, DVD, and regular television (for awhile, they showed THE GODFATHER: THE COMPLETE NOVEL FOR TELEVISION, every year. This is a re-edited version of the first two GODFATHER movies assembled into a mini-series). I have seen many movies multiple times, but none nearly as many times as THE GODFATHER. Some others on my "watch them over and over" list are:
* WAR OF THE WORLDS (Gene Barry version)
* JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (James Mason version)
* DELIVERANCE
* TAXI DRIVER
* NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (original)
* DAWN IF THE DEAD (original)
* DIRTY HARRY
* THE FRENCH CONNECTION
* SHAFT (original)
* BULLITT
* SCARFACE (Al Pacino version)
* PAPILLON
* MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL
* Plenty of others!
Which movie(s) have you watched ad nauseam?

Those are the first to leap to mind, anyway, in terms of of the films I've at least seen all the way through more than 3-4 times.

I've probably seen it well over 5 times. Does that count? :teddyr:
I can proudly say that I saw it during its original theatrical release!

So did I ~ with my Dad in a Cape Town cinema in December 1981. Oddly enough, it was rated A here then, despite the horrible censorship system in effect then but was rated R in the States. :question:

The Orginal Dune
Oh, please . . . burn my eyes out. I could barely sit through it once!
How 'bout ENDLESSLY WATCHABLE?
http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,119874.0.html (http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,119874.0.html)
THE GODFATHER, plus...
1. PATTON
2. ALL ABOUT EVE
3. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
4. THE THREE MUSKETEERS
5. SINCE YOU WENT AWAY
6. KILL BILL VOL 2
7. THE WIZARD OF OZ
8. YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU
9. THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES
10. VERTIGO
...and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD - I've probably seen that more than anything.
I'm sure this isn't a complete list:
- Clue
- Murder by Death
- Overboard
- Romancing the Stone
- My Fair Lady
- Monster Club
- Harry Potter
- Beauty and the Beast
- Creepshow
- Spinal Tap
- Nightmare on Elmstreet 1, 2, & 3
- Rock N Roll Nightmare
- Troop Beverly Hills
- Ernest movies
- Trinity movies
- Princess Bride is on my list too
- Legend
- Taming of the Shrew (1967)
- The Haunting (1963)
- Arachnophobia
Probably THE CHRISTMAS STORY since it comes on every year and I always watch at least a piece of it.
Other than that, I've seen NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD a bunch of times. And THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE (if you include the MST3K version). And I've seen THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN more than any sane person should.
I'm not really one to re-watch old movies, I'd rather go check out something I haven't seen before. I've rarely seen anything more than 3 times. Whenever I review a movie I like to watch it 2-3 times, if possible.
I've watched all of these movies a number of times, and never get tired of them. I don't remember how many times I have watched them, so I just put them in order by year. I'm sure I am forgetting a few, but here it is.
Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
House of Dracula (1945)
The Devil Bat (1940)
Curse of The Undead (1959)
Castle of Blood (1964)
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (1966)
The Mercenary (1968)
Destroy All Monsters (1968)
Night of The Living Dead (1968)

It's a great movie!
I love this comment about Dune from Roger Ebert: "This movie is a real mess, an incomprehensible, ugly, unstructured, pointless excursion into the murkier realms of one of the most confusing screenplays of all time."
