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.

At a guess (and not counting Ash's cartoons):
Aliens.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The Thing.
Galaxy of Terror.
Predator.
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.
^ 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:

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.
^ 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.
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.

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.
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+
Do you guys not have anything along the BBC which shows movies without adverts?
I don't know! I live in Michigan, my friend! :drink:
I ain't got s**t around here but an empty dinner plate!

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.
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

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.

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
^ 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.
(https://i.imgur.com/JVjJnC8.jpg) (https://lunapic.com)
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
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

Dam! Bruce Lee movies! I can't even count how many times I've seen ENTER THE DRAGON!

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.

SEE SAW?
