What 5 Movies Have You Seen More Than Any Other?

RCMerchant · February 21, 2021, 06:40:56 AM

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?

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!

That may very well be 6th.

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

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.

claws · February 21, 2021, 10:16:54 AM

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?

RCMerchant · February 21, 2021, 10:24:44 AM

I don't know! I live in Michigan, my friend!

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.
