I watch the same movies over and over. If I love one I can't get enough of it. I don't know why but I've seen Poltergeist at least 100 times. I can practically quote that film in my sleep.
For me, it's Road Warrior. When I was younger, I taped it off of HBO. I watched that tape so much that I wore it out. I then saved up and bought the tape from the store (this was before tapes were selling at a regular price of under $20). I rented a VCR and then recorded this tape onto another tape so I would have the store bought one as a "master". Watched that taped one so much I wore it out also. Well, thank the powers that be for DVD and it's possibilities for repeated viewings. As far as be able to quote the movie...years ago a local theater was doing midnight showings of different movies. One Saturday they had Road Warrior and I had to be there with some friends. About mid way through the movie we were asked to leave because we were annoying everyone else by saying the lines seconds before they were said on the screen.
I've been kicked out of numerous viewings of Strange Brew (Good Day, eh?) for reciting lines. Also, to this day, whenever I'm driving through an area of heavy road construction, where there are the cement barriers on either side about a foot off of the road so that you're driving through a trench, I can't help but say "Use the force, Luke" and look in my rearview mirror like I'm looking for Darth Vader.
Godzilla 1985. It was the first G-flick I ever saw, and I can speak pretty much all the dialogue right along with the dub actors.
Brother R
Transformers the movie. Seriously I think I can play the whole movie in my head, lines and all.
THE GODFATHER. I have easily seen it 50 times . . . probably even more than that.
Fight Club.
Same thing as Burgo with The Godfather. I do believe I have watched it well over 50 times.
Watched it again last night actually.
Great film!
Star Wars -- since it is on tv a lot. Funny how only the original one seems to pop up a lot. Also Blues Brothers (same deal-- on tv a lot)
I have watched Barbarella a lot as well.

and in all those 50 times, did you notice Brad Pitt is the waiter on the far side of the tv screen after the "single serving" speech in the hotel room? fun movie to rewatch.
there are two movies I pop in whenever i clean the house on the weekend, because when the movie ends, the whole house is clean. I can now quote JFK and CASINO almost completely.
I have also seen these movies ad nauseam:
Hudson Hawk
Demolition Man
Mortal Kombat (so sue me, I loved the game)
Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan
The Lost Boys
Silence of the Lambs
Terminator 1 and 2
Fletch
Goodfellas
Die Hard
Too many to count. But the movies that I can watch constantly, as in rewind and watch again, are:
Tombstone
The Untouchables
Gunga Din
Dead Alive
They never get old for me.
The Breakfast Club, damn you tnt and tbs!
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert- I can't get enough of Aussie drag queens
Bill & Ted movies- I believe the main reason I talk like a valley girl is from watching this way too many times as a child.
Star Wars...the first one.
I've seen it about 20-25 times.
Dazed & Confused ranks a close second.

Of course!
Another couple of things that I've noticed have been:
1. There is NO way that Tyler could have *69ed Jack's pay phone call. Later in the film when they are living on paper street it makes it quite obvious that the phone is an old rotary phone. No *69 capabilities.
2. Also with the payphone-Jack dials Marla's number originally (555-0153). Then when he goes to call Tyler, it shows him dialing the numbers and you see him dial 0153 again. Continuity.
Don't know why I spot the mistakes in this film so much easier than others......possibly because I've seen it too many damn times. lol
I've seen too many movies, too many times. Some that rank high on the watched list are the Star Wars Trilogy, Fifth Element, pretty much every Kevin Smith movie. Orgamso, Baseketball, Braindead [dead alive] and Deathstalker.
Then there's all time classics like Transformers and Die Hard and True Lies [the last two are played on TV all the bloody time!]
I have to say though, I have watched too many damn Simpsons episodes more than anything else. Me and my friends can pretty much act out the dialogue to numerous episodes in their entireity [well almost]
