OK-this is BAD movies-but really-how often do you watch these old films?
Myself-I have watched BRIDE OF THE MONSTER (1955) and the BRAIN THAT COULDNT DIE (1959) so many times I cant imagine-maybe just as much as old Star Trek reruns or Gilligans Island.
DRACULA (1931),the SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939),PSYCHO(1960).
The f**king WIZARD OF OZ (1939) I saw every f**king year cuz my dad loved that f**king movie!Me too.
SO!
What movies have you seen over and over?
I can list more and I will-! :thumbup:

I grew up in Germany and my TV watching was restricted to three channels only. We had no HBO, Elvira, and chances of catching really bad trashy movies on TV were kind of slim. Heck, the movies of Ed Wood were labeled as art house stuff here  :thumbup:

Movies I watched on TV countless times as a kid:

King Kong (1933)
The Thing from Another World (1951)
The War of the Worlds (1953)
Them! (1954)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Psycho (1960)
The Innocents (1961)
The Birds (1963)
The Haunting (1963)
The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)
Rosemary's Baby (1968)
The Devil Rides Out (1968)
Expulsion of the Devil (1973)
All the Kind Strangers (1974)
Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
Carrie (1976)
Marathon Man (1976)
The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976)
Spare Parts (1979)
Jaws of Satan (1981)
Split Image (1982)

plus pretty much all Christopher Lee Dracula movies and Hammer Productions.

One of my favorites is The Man From Planet X.  I watched it on Netflix several times then bought the DVD and watched that several times lol.  I've seen War of the Worlds quite a few times, and I've got those Universal Mummy and Frankenstein collections but they usually only get watched around Halloween.

Rare French movie about a family moving in a secluded and supposedly haunted farm. Joined by Paranormal investigators filming a documentary. There's a bit of weird euro-style coming of age, and a few creepy and shocking scenes of the supernatural. When we were kids this film was super-scary, but I haven't seen in ages. I see it is up on youtube though.

SUCKER PUNCH and ZOMBIE HAMLET are probably my two favorite repeat views that fall in the "Bad Movies" category.

Although in the case of SUCKER PUNCH, the category is dead wrong. #greatestfilmofalltime

At one time Aliens & The Rocky Horror Picture show were regular viewings. These days Moontrap gets watched regularly as does The Creature From The Black Lagoon (for some reason that is a movie I am almost never not in the mood to watch) & Remo: Unarmed & Dangerous.

My wife seems to have gotten a taste for shark movies (with the exception of 2 headed shark attack which gave her nightmares - I think it was Brooke Hogan's acting) so the Sharknado films have come into regular rotation in the man cave.

As a kid/teen, I watched the original Star Wars Trilogy countless times, the original six Star Trek films numerous times (as well as the original Star Trek TV series). Also watched stuff like Battle Beyond the Stars, The Last Starfighter, Tron, The Black Hole as much as I could. As a kid, our youth club used to show us the Bruce Lee films (via film projector) which I quickly grew to love. Like you, saw The Wizard of Oz numerous times. I've watched The Thing From Another World, The Day the Earth Stood Still, It Came From Outer Space, Bride of Frankenstein, Invaders From Mars (1953), Godzilla, King of the Monsters, Terror of Mechagodzilla, Forbidden Planet, The Time Machine (1960), Quatermass an the Pit (1967), 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet of the Apes (1968), Soylent Green, The Omega Man. Logan's Run, the Alien films, Blade Runner, Ghostbusters, The Terminator films (first 2), 12 Monkeys, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal,Krull, the Christopher Reeves Superman films quite a number of times as well.

As a kid, I have basically had the same problem as claws - nothing much on TV. As a teen repeated VHS viewing of: Braindead, Army of Darkness, Rocky Horror Show, Meet the Feebles.

At a younger age, we had Horror Stories on cassettes and I could recite some of them, preferably with my sister. Here is one example:

I could never take "Gilligan's Island" so I never watched much of it.  I definitely saw them very young but only remember the characters and always hated it.   :lookingup:

As a teen repeated VHS viewing of: Braindead, Army of Darkness, Rocky Horror Show, Meet the Feebles.

This is where I did most if not all my catching up on bad movies. We rarely rented tapes from German video stores, we got all our videos from US military bases. During the video boom we had memberships to like 20+ different rental places. I miss the old days  :bluesad: Early VHS movies on repeated viewing:

Mommie Dearest (1981) - I still had trouble gasping this whole "camp" concept at an early age, but we had a blast watching Faye Dunaway abusing her movie daughter and we didn't feel guilty about it.
The Sender (1982) - This was an instant favorite upon my first viewing.
Fiend (1980) - The first movie to cause physical pain. After everyone in the family had seen and suffered through it we erased the copy.
Friday the 13th Part III (1982) - Not sure why but we always watched this one more often than part 2 and the first.
One Dark Night (1983) - An early Halloween viewing favorite. l always enjoyed the intensity during the final half. Plus we thought the movie was quite creepy in general.
Black Samurai (1977) - The one that made me truly love bad movies. Our first viewing was historical and hysterical. We did a running commentary and by the time the movie ended we were soaking wet from tears of laughter. Not to mention a sore stomach also caused from laughing.
A Night to Dismember (1983) - This one became an instant bad movie night favorite and got better with each viewing.
Evil Town (1977/1987) - This was Fiend bad but for unknown reasons I was addicted to this pile of junk. It is very dull, lacking unintentional humor, and combines at least three different crappy movies made into one.
Cage (1989) - Lou Ferrigno at his most dramatic in a martial arts beefcake exploitation movie. Bad but not really bad movie classic material.
The Attic (1980) - Offbeat and charming and weird. This was a personal favorite of my sister's and we would usually make it a double feature along with one of my favorites, The Hearse (1980).
Breeders (1986) - Another bad movie night favorite.
