I am fairly sure that I've seen Rock N Roll High School more times than any other movie. I revisit it at least once a year and I can recite pretty much the entire movie along with the actors... yet I never get tired of it.

The three films I've watched most in adulthood are three that were on the syllabus of a college course I taught from 2016 through 2021... sometimes twice a semester, so 2-4 times a year for 5 years: ERASERHEAD, MEMENTO, and POSSESSION (the short domestic version, though, not the uncut). All three were and are among my favorite films - or else I wouldn't have subjected myself to another 10-20 viewings w/ classes! But, to their credit, all three held up...

POSSESSION never fails to freak out even the most apathetic college student. Watching the domestic cut so many times only reinforces my prejudice: that it's the only version of the film anyone really needs! (The director's cut has lots of lovely extra bits, but everything essential is in the short version... plus about 3-4 shots absent from the director's cut.)

I'd watched MEMENTO at least 6 times before I started teaching it. It endures on many repeat viewings, insofar as some of the moments now seem hilariously obvious or transparent to me. The early (sic) diner scene where Natalie tells Leonard they are "both survivors" and then stares at him and nods for a looooooong awkward beat... I've played that moment for students half a dozen times, pause, rewind, play... sometimes they get it.

To paraphrase Betelgeuse, ERASERHEAD keeps getting funnier every single time I see it. Never does get any less existentially bleak and paralyzingly sad, mind you, but the 4 or 5 comedic moments are so masterfully constructed it no longer surprises me that Mel Brooks loved this movie so much he gave David Lynch a job on the spot. The comedy in ERASERHEAD is funnier than anything in any Mel Brooks movie. (Not even a slam on Brooks, mind you!)

In adolescence, it was definitely RHPS (at least 25 times) and SHOCK TREATMENT somewhere short of that. In childhood, the original STAR WARS (also 25+ times). I haven't watched SW in its entirety since 1994 or '95. I feel like I could just about enjoy it again now, maybe.

Otherwise I try to refrain from running my favorite films into the ground. I might revisit the rest of my Top 15 or 20 once every five or so years. I've seen 'em enough to know I favor them, and there's so many other films I still need to see a 1st time.

I've seen ERASERHEAD and BLUE VELVET a bunch of times. Always find something new in them.

Blues Brothers is probably my most watched movie of all time with The Fugitive right behind it. The Princess Bride and Ghostbusters is tied for 3rd atm.
yeah no.

I seen EASY RIDER (1969) countless times. Most of the DIRTY HARRY movies alot. ASTRO ZOMBIES (1968) for some f**king reason. I first saw it on Channel 41 Shock theater out of Kalamazoo in 1972. Even then I knew it sucked.

Evidently Cars 2 and 3 have joined my list as Ash wants to watch them on endless loop.

I've wound up randomly seeing A FIELD IN ENGLAND many times (like 4 or 5 times, which is a lot for me).
