Movies you saw more than once in the movie theater upon its original release?

Goldfinger. Twice in a row in Miami Beach with my father when it first opened.

Poseidon Adventure. I was 8 years old, on Christmas break from school. I think I saw it six times.

Grease. I was 14 and wanted Kenickie Murdoch like I wanted nothing before. Eight times in the summer of 78.

Frozen, because I had a 4-year old daughter and it provided me a couple hours to nap without worrying that she would destroy something.

Point Break (the original). It was so fucking stupid and there was nothing else to do.

Smokey and the Bandit. I was about 12 and every birthday party and bar mitzvah seemed to go to it.

I remember one year I saw 3 movies FOUR times each in the theater: Gladiator, The Perfect Storm and The Patriot.

Cabaret 14 times...New York, New York 7

the grand budapest hotel, impressive

As a teenager (and a rather strange one at that), I saw "Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number!" three times.

The first Star Wars -4 times - the jump into hyper speed had me transfixed..

John Wick 3, 2 times. I called out from work and got cabin fever by noon.

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (I was young)

Chicago

Sweeney Todd

Les Miz

Mamma Mia

I saw "Chaplin" (1992) three times. I wasn't in love with the film, but my friends wanted to see it and I knew more about Chaplin than anyone else they knew. We'd watch the film then they'd ask me how much was true and what was made up.

Everyone I saw the film with said the best part was the Oscar montage of actual Chaplin clips.

Poltergeist...twice, second time at a Midnight showing.

American Beauty

Xanadu, Nightmare on Elm Street 4 (the second time, I was the only person on the theatre) , Star Wars. I'm a geeky gay.

I saw The Matrix three times in the first week it opened. That's easily my record.

Can't Stop the Music.

Really.

Henry V, Branagh's 1989 version. For the first time in my life I understood Shakespeare. 10 or 11 times. Thanks Ken!

I went to see Contact four times during its theatrical run.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Loved the relationship between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery.

The first Avengers movie. It was the first Marvel movie I'd ever seen.

r16, two times for me

Send Me No Flowers, it was always on a double bill with something else I hadn't seen and I was forced to sit through it, like, 6 times. I could recite the fucking thing by heart.

I've seen The Exorcist about 167 TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT!

Avatar, Titanic and Devil Wears Prada three times each.

Without exaggeration, I have seen Oliver Stone’s The Doors at least 60 times in a theater. The majority of these viewings were at the Waverly Theater in Greenwich Village.

I saw Gravity about 13 times

Bohemian Rhapsody about 12 times

Avatar about 9 times

La vie en rose with Marion Cotillard - 3 times because I just needed to shed a few tears over my rather exuberant life.

Travels with My Aunt, I mentioned it a few minutes ago in another thread, directed by George Cukor with Maggie Smith.

GWTW. About 25 times over 50 years.

Recently, Shazam! twice in the theater. I love that movie.

Empire Strikes Back.

Remember when you could just sit there and wait for it to start again.

The Right Stuff. One of the most beautifully filmed movies I've ever seen on a wide screen. And the Bill Conti score enhanced the film wonderfully. A real treat!

A Clockwork Orange - twice in one day

The first Star Wars - 7 times

“MA” 3 times now cause I find it super entertaining, love Octavia’s performance and love Chaz.

The last 1/2 hour of Empire Strikes Back maybe 20 times. It seemed to be longer than every other movie that I had seen that summer so I would duck into the theatre after the movie I had just seen ended. I loved the hyperdrive sequence, I wish I had been into weed like my friends were.

Jaws

Saw it 23 times with my little sister

I was 13

Jaws, Tommy, American Graffiti

Yes, r29. And the overly yellow "restored" DVD and the color corrected Blu Ray dozens of times.

Also, in the theater, Lindsay Anderson's "if...." It was at that point the story of my life. Many years ago. i doubt that anyone would know.

CLEOPATRA

Who can resist Elizabeth Taylor in this film?

The Lost Boys

Dead Again

Truth Or Dare

Grease

Much Ado About Nothing

Girls School Screamers

I saw Wedding Crasher 3 times in one summer. I was a whore, darlings.

Mulholland Drive, twice.

Dinner at Eight

Grand Hotel

Dark Victory

Mildred Pierce

Gone With the Wind

The Women

The Music Man six times on its original release, infuriating my mother as I was a 12 year old. I think she realized I was gay and hated us both for it.

Gravity? is this a troll post? I couldn’t get through that piece of shit once. Sandra just spinning in space please. I watched a couple Scream films twice because I love slashers.

CMBYN Three times, I’m sure I’ll be crucified here for that.

I drove from Texas City to Houston THREE TIMES (said like Patti yelling the number of pictures that audience member took of her) to see Faye Dunaway in Burning Secret 1989. It was playing at one fancy theater in Houston and I got stoned out of my mind on the drive up, then would be all paranoid to get out of the car and walk to the ticket booth. Good times. I was in a Faye obsession phase.

In 1978 I saw Grease every Wednesday for six weeks at the Stockton-on-Tees cinema in the U.K. because Hurworth House School had a half day on Weds. I would buy a sack of Maynard's Wine Gums (basically gummi bears) to eat during the movie. I was obsessed with Marty Maraschino played by Dinah Manoff.

I saw Barfly twice in Houston.

[quote]Dinner at Eight, Grand Hotel, Dark Victory, Mildred Pierce, Gone With the Wind, The Women

You really saw those films on their original release multiple times? Just how old are you?

The Manchurian Candidate (original) over and over. Like Lee Harvey Oswald.

Dirty Dancing. I'm not ashamed.

Good catch R48. How old is that person that saw Gone w The Wind in its original release -- in 1939?!

Yentl 3 times. The first time by myself and then 2 more times with friends to share with them.

I've seen Rocket Man 3 times, and I don't generally like musicals.

I saw The Untouchables 25 times during its original release. I would frequently attend two consecutive showings, such as 8pm and 10pm. Now I don't even like it, it is more like The Unwatchables.

101 Dalmatians

Sleeping Beauty

Love Story (mockingly, while in college, for free)

Cabaret

The Godfather

The Godfather, part 2

Shampoo

Annie Hall

An Unmarried Woman

Days of Heaven

Heaven Can Wait

Interiors

Good Will Hunting

CMBYN

The Lion King 3x. It was such an awesome movie back then. I don't know why I sometimes watch it w my nephews now, but I just can't get into it anymore. It's like watching the Golden Girls. It use to be fun and funny but I just watch it now and it's alright, but it's not the same anymore.

I saw Black Swan either 3 or 4 times. I don't know why, but I was obsessed with it.

The Talented Mr. Ripley. The only time I like a movie do much, I saw it multiple times in the theater

What R45 said. My god, what a trite film. I cringed while watching it, then laughed on my way home thinking about it.

Most DL-ers got it, though.

All the President's Men - Pakula was a master of paranoia. I took friends to see it because I liked the way he used light and darkness to change the mood and increase creepiness.

Star Wars: A New Hope - My friend's father took us to see it opening night in some suburban Houston theater. I'm still not sure where we were. Later I took my little sister to see it.

R44 here. My mother also refused to let me see West Side Story on its original release because the women in her beauty parlor where she had her hair done had told her it was about perverted juvenile delinquents in New York. I finally saw it in a 1968 or 1969 re-release.

Jurassic Park, quite a few times that summer.

ET Stop Making Sense

Brokeback Mountain , Two Women and La Strada.

Purple Rain

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

The Blue Lagoon

Ten Things I Hate About You

Romeo and Juliet

Living with Rachel Ray.

The Romeo and Juliet with Claire Danes and L.C,

IRMA VEP - Assayas - at the Film Forum during its original run - I might have seen it four or five times.

CLEAN - Assayas

IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE - Wong Kar-wai

MULLHOLLAND DRIVE - Lynch

AMOUR - Haneke

ELLE - Verhoeven

THE BLACK BOOK - Verhoeven

FEMME FATALE - Brian De Palma

VOLVER - Pedro Almodóvar

I am sure there were others. I only remember these because I dragged my friends to see them with me for a repeat viewing.

I love George Cukor's Romeo and Juliette for the performances and direction but I only saw it decades after its release even though I am so, so old. And I don't like Norma Shearer, which will get me killed here.

The summer of 1981, I was 11 and my dad would take me with him to his hanger at an airport where he was building a plane. I would become bored rather quickly and cross the street to a movie theater to pass the time: saw Superman II 9 times and Saturday the 14th 5 times.

There are many I’ve seen two or three times (Misery; Speed; Gladiator; Gravity) during initial release, but I finally topped the Superman II record when I saw Titanic 11 times during its initial release. It was a big screen spectacular unlike anything I’d ever seen.

[quote]but I finally topped the Superman II record when I saw Titanic 11 times

This thread is depressing me.

Several I've seen twice, too many to mention.

3x- Tootsie, Grease, Hairspray (the original), Almost Famous, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Xanadu, Ruthless People 4x- Star Wars (counting once during the 1979 re-release), The Doors

If we count revival houses, I'm sure I've seen things like The Shining and Willy Wonka at least 10 times each.

Nowadays I barely can be bothered to see a movie once in the theater if it's new, and I can't imagine going multiple times when you can wait three months and own it. Back then it was 9-12 months before you could see the film again depending on video and/or cable. But I'll go if it's something fun that's old.

I saw crazy Rich Asians two times

I never go to films in theaters anymore. The audiences are too loud and distracting and devoted to their smart phones.

I hate being in public, period, because of people and their speakerphones. I'd rather stay inside than be forced to listen to random digital noise. Why don't people use earbuds anymore?

Hairspray: The Movie Musical and The Dark Knight- six times

The Great Beauty - Best Foreign Film Oscar winner 2013

^ Watch the trailer, it's great.

Brokeback Mountain.

I was addicted.

Ah, Brokeback Mountain. Saw that twice at the movies. So tender and real.

The Brave One. Jodie Foster dressed butch is drool worthy.

I tried to watch Brokeback Mountain again. Could not do it. And I LOVE Jake.

Turn off your phone R88. That's a beautiful film.

r89 Turn off my phone???

charlie's angels (2000). I was in middle school lol.

Train Wreck.

Aren't all movies a "roadshow," r91?

I had to do a film analysis of " Women in Love" which was in the theater. I sat through four consecutive showings with note pad in hand.

Star Wars 5 times The Empire Strikes Back 4 times E.T. 4 times All The President's Men 3 times Titanic 3 times, but only because my stupid friend kept wanting to see it again The Lion King, Star Trek II, Blade Runner and Twister twice

I enjoy Titanic still to this day. I don’t get the hate.

[quote]Gravity? is this a troll post? I couldn’t get through that piece of shit once. Sandra just spinning in space please.

There has been NO judgement of anyone's choices until you crawled in.

"Hairspray" 7 times in 3 different states.

R98 exactly why I didn’t even acknowledge the troll.

Some of the films mentioned here aren’t my cup of tea but I’m not knocking anyone else for enjoying them. Everyone’s different.

I like Gravity.

[quote] There has been NO judgement of anyone's choices until you crawled in.

I hadn't noticed it, but you're right. How refreshing.

I've actually been silently judging a couple of my own choices, but writing them off to youth. : )

Natural Born Killer - 3

Call Me By Your Name - 6

Hereditary - 3

Titanic - 2X (then I saw it a 3rd time a few years ago when it was released in 3D)

Shadow

KILL BILL and TRANSFORMERS

Most recently, Hereditary thrice and Annihilation twice.

The Big Chill-6 times

The Wizard of Oz kids in the 70s waited every year for that movie to play on the family TV. I’ve watched it 20 times at least.

Grand Canyon

[quote]How old is that person that saw Gone w The Wind in its original release -- in 1939?!

Assuming they were born in 1939 or earlier, that would make them 80 or older now.

The Big Easy

Moulin Rouge

At least four roadshow viewings of "HELLO, DOLLY!"

That's Entertainment X 21

MAME X 5

Pennies From Heaven X 4

Dah-dah-dah-daddah-DAHHHHHH.

Went to see Sleuth (Olivier, Caine) with a group of friends in 1972; we stayed to watch it a second time because we couldn't believe there were only two actors and wanted to see how we got fooled. Ditto, The Sixth Sense - wanted to see how I got fooled. I saw the first X-Men movie twice because I thought it was fun. Saw a couple of the Harry Potter movies twice because I enjoyed the special effects and knew it wouldn't look the same on DVD.

Carrie 8 times. Just to relive the audience reaction when the hand comes out at the end.

I call it the movie I would most love to see again for the first time.

Oliver! Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory Raising Arizona I saw those on purpose many times but also saw Rabbit Test, The Big Bus, Phantom of the Paradise and Audrey Rose many many times because in the 70's the always had a 2nd feature and they played a lot of the duds but I would sit through them anyway.

A Room with a View

Scarface in really uncomfortable movie seats.

Cabaret at least 7 times. Recently, Bohemian Rhapsody twice.

Titanic - not intentionally. 2nd time we meant to go see something else, but it was sold out and Titianic was still playing. Third time we had missed the start time of theatrical show, so we were all dressed up and still wanted to see something. titanic was the only option playing in the neighborhood.

Avatar - first time was amazing. Second time brought my parents and all the wonder and creativity was gone and it was quite bad.

OMG. Cabaret! I peeked in on it on Netflix a few nights ago. You really had to be there in 1972 seeing it for the first time to have grasp of how absolutley revolutionary Fosse's camera work was. "Willkommen" was a shock. But "Mein Herr" left everyone's head spinning. The multiple camera set ups and the rapid editing of shots was something that Fosse pioneered. We had not seen it before and it was as confusing as it was thrilling. Watching it this week, it all seemed so absolutely conventional. But it was not. Not at all.

"Ten Things I Hate About You"

R70 Why?

I saw Avatar 9 times and it felt magical each time and unique. The audience reacted every time I saw it, standing when the bad guy finally dies and cheering and clapping.

Was an experience like no other.

Last of the Mohicans for its musical score - watched it 14 times. It won Oscars for its score. So I watched it in the newest theater in town with an amazing sound system

Us. Once with my mom and another with my dad.

Avatar was magical. I was in awe the 4x I saw it at the cinema.

Saw Beautiful Boy 3 times in theaters within a month. Once at a screening in NYC which Timothee Chalamet was at. Then once at a theater near me by myself and then saw it with a friend. It's not an easy movie to watch. In fact it's downright depressing. But couldn't stop watching it because of Timothee's beauty and amazing performance.

I love you, r136.

Brokeback Mountain

American History X also

V for Vendetta

John Carter

Jupiter Ascending

The Matrix

A Clockwork Orange at least 200 times. I was an usher at the only movie theater in town where it was shown and it ran for months. I was 18 and it was X rated and youhad to be 18 to work it. Small theater and if you were inside you were in front of the screen. I knew the film literally frame by frame shot by shot. I occurred to me that I might have seen it more time than Stanley Kubrick. Funny thing, I saw it again, first time in easily 40 years and I was surprised that I barely remembered it, and much of what I remembered I remembered wrong.

Cruel Intentions. I liked it so much I decided to watch it a second time by myself. I’m not the type of person who went to places alone, so I really liked it. Unfortunately, a black couple wearing matching tracksuits (so 1991, obviously they didn’t get the memo) decided to sit in front me. During the gay scene they loudly showed their disgust and ruined the whole fucking movie for me.

The Revenant

And then on DVD several more times to watch the tracking shots in detail and inderstand the mechanics of the choreographed set pieces.

[quote]Yentl 3 times.

Great song by The Doors.

American Graffiti (It ran in my hometown for more than a year on it's first release) Jaws Grease Saturday Night Fever Annie Hall Xanadu St. Elmos Fire

Fellow Timmy fan, r137? Love ya too then. :)

Sheee shim... shhh shimmo (throws bottle at fireplace) TIMMOSHAY!

Once Bitten starring Jim Carrey and Lauren Hutton

Dead Again starring Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson

I saw Highlander multiple times in the theater. One theater must have had an extended version, there was a ten-minute WWII scene that hadn't been in the other viewings, and actually explained a lot about the Highlander's relationship with his assistant. It's so silly, but the Queen soundtrack was amazing, and it hit me just the right way as a teenager. I also took three different guys to Gladiator.

R131 it reminded me of The Taming of the Shrew

I saw Scream 2 and Scream 4 two times in the theater each. I only saw the third one in a matinee on opening day.

I believe my record is seeing Evita three times with mom and sister.

AMERICAN BEAUTY (4x, I’m embarrassed to say now—not because I have a vendetta against Spacey but because the movie is pretentious, heavy handed, and overrated). I bawled each time.

I HEART HUCKABEES (3 or 4x, but one of them doesn’t count because I got way too stoned beforehand and had a brutal panic attack that lasted the length of the movie; I hid out in the men’s room and also in my car, hyperventilating, while my friend enjoyed the movie inside. I still think it’s a good movie, but not THAT good.)

ZODIAC (3x — I now own the excellent 2-disc blu-ray set of it and have seen it another few times. Brilliant movie.)

1/3 a WW for r152.

Not in its original release but I repeatedly took people to see Camille (1936) at revival houses when such places existed to show them how wonderful Garbo was. This was during the video age but I preferred to watch it on the big screen. It was like a test of my friendship. If you didn't like Garbo, you were out.

Gravity is amazing.

Edward Scissorhands, a great film before Depp became disgusting.

R91, R94, R120; I'm an Australian but I've been told that in Britain in the 1960s popular films were exhibited as 'roadshows' at more expensive ticket prices and at stated times.

Big popular roadshow films such as 'Sound of Music' were shown at the same city theatre for up to and over a year.

Whereas non-roadshow films were less popular films, shown as a double bill and in continuous performance throughout the day Monday to Saturday.

Silence of the Lambs, Crimes of Passion, Crimes of the Heart, The Betsy, Life of Brian, The Piano, A Room with a View, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Romper Stomper, Sweetie, When Harry Met Sally, Parasite (the Korean film - not the Demi Moore one), Ghost, Wild at Heart, I Stand Alone, The Rainbow all come to mind.

Pulp Fiction - 17 times in the theatre. I LOVED that movie at that time.

"Grease" when it first came out. I went to see it at the movies probably 30 times that summer of 1978 ( I was ten years old).

I saw Grease twice, forgot about that one. Also In the Bedroom, The Last Days of Chaz Nous, Starstruck, Kitty and the Bagman & The Devils Playground.

I *AM* r55.

The first Austin Powers movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Flash Gordon, at least 5 times

Star Trek (2009)

Bohemian Rhapsody

Get Out

Interstellar

Stand By Me - 6 times. It was a lonely period in my life and the idea that four school friends could set out on an adventure seemed to fill a hole in my life.

A Christmas Story - 4 times. I identified with Ralphie and the absurdity of childhood. I love that scene where the teacher is trying to get the kids to admit who put Flick up to sticking his tongue onto the icy pole and Ralphie is attempting to look innocent and just gazing all around. That was totally me in grade school.

Star Wars (original) Alien Dressed To Kill The Rocky Horror Picture Show Body Heat Altered States Clueless Chicago Fantasia 2000 Mad Max Fury Road Rogue One

Some of you have really shitty taste in movies and i can't believe you would sit through some of this stuff even once.

In addition to everything in r55, I saw Manchester by the Sea twice in more recent years, which is a miracle, given how much sitting in a theatre sucks now.

The Lives Of Others

Tree Of Life

A Hidden Life

The Rocketeer, fourteen times- I had it bad for Bill Campbell. Then I saw "Bram Stoker's Dracula" multiple times also because of him.

The Last Jedi. It’s BY FAR the best Star Wars film.

Great thread. My biggest record has to be ALL THAT JAZZ. I saw it twice on opening day, went back Saturday and Sunday, and then after school each day. I loved it. Maybe 15 times in its opening week. Also, I was in Paris and Almodóvar's ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER opened. I was free on Wednesday (when it opened) and I saw it at Les Halles at 9:00 or 10:00 am. To my surprise it was playing in one of those huge screens where only blockbusters play. I loved it so much I had lunch and went back. In the evening, it was playing at the GAUMONT AMBASSADE (now closed), in one of the GAUMONTARAMA screens. And for the rest of the week, I went to all these wonderful movie theaters where the movie was playing in cinemas where only big blockbusters used to play. I loved the movie.

"Hello, Dolly!" Roadshow release. Reserved seats. Souvenir program. Saw it 3 times. I was 12. I had to push my mother awfully hard to get that done.

Life of Pi. In 3-D it was just astonishing.

FAME! I was in high school.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark"

Titanic...I’d go and sleep through the first hour or so then wake up just when the ship struck the iceberg.

R128 I think you're me. That was to be my exact post.

I wrote movie reviews for my high school paper and I took it very seriously. At least twice that I can remember--for "Three Days of the Condor" and "Mahogany"--I'd have my mom drop me off at the theater on Saturday afternoon for the 1 PM show and sit through it twice.

Much more recently, I saw "Jojo Rabbit" twice in the theater because the first time I came in a little late and missed the first couple of (fairly crucial) minutes.

I saw "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "Love Story" at least 3 times each. I had a gayling crushes on Redford and O'Neal. I also saw "The Last Picture Show" about 6 or 7 times in theatre. I just really loved/got lost in that movie.

Groundhog Day. 34 times. I think. Maybe I just saw it once and relived it the others times.

In reality I did see it at least 3 times when it first opened.

I saw Norma Rae three times.

Bohemian Rhapsody about 15 or 16 times. I was obsessed. It felt powerful on the big screen, and every showing was packed, up until probably my last time going shortly before it left, and even then the theater was about half way full.

A true Blockbuster.

Recently the Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody. 4 times each.

GWTW prior to vcr's.

Oops, not upon original release. I'm not that fuckin old.

R101 didn’t understand the assignment.

Titanic

JFK

Saw both "Titanic" and "Gravity" twice in the theatre. Saw "The Poseidon Adventure " maybe 10 times. Sat through that one on a Saturday from the first matinee to the last late show when I was a kid.

There are two films that were released when I was in college that I went to the theater to see multiple times. They both still mean a lot to me: "My Beautiful Laundrette" and "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown."

Willie Wonka, the original with Gene Wilder. I was 10 or 12 and I loved the way he sang 'Real Imagination' or whatever that song was called. I also fell in love with Gene Wilder's beautiful blue eyes.

Monty Python's Holy Grail

Jaws

Alien

Star Wars (the original)

Star Trek: The Wrath of Kahn

Brokeback Mountain

The Color Purple

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

I actually watch tons of movies over and over, but it's rare for me to actually see a movie multipole times out in the theater these days. These are the ones off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are more.

I may go see The Invisible Man a second time.

Most recently I saw Bad Boys For Life twice.

I think I accidentally saw 'Gold' with Roger Moore twice in the 1970's. Once on it's own and later as a double-feature with a James Bond movie, terrible film.

I haven't been to the cinema since they banned smoking in about 1987, it wasn't an enjoyable experience at our local 'flea-pit' in any case and I don't miss it.

"A Hard Day's Night." Three consecutive shows in one sitting. Those were the days.

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

R101, A "Classic movie month" is pretty much not the topic.

Jesus Christ Superstar (with a high-school friend)

Executive Action (with the same high-school friend — we developed a mild obsession with the Kennedy assassination)

Star Wars (once with a friend, once with my kid brother, who was bored for most of it)

Heavenly Creatures (I had a troubled relationship with my mother)

Rome & Juliet (DiCaprio version)

Moulin Rouge

Call me by your Name

Parasite

The Italian movie from a few years ago, The Great Beauty. I was obsessed with the music and scenery.

I've seen plenty of films twice in the movie theatre (Pulp Fiction, Clerks, Titanic, Boogie Nights, The Artist, American Hustle, Birdman, Hell or High Water, Nocturnal Animals are ones I can recall off the top of my head).

But, the ones I saw more than that are Dead Man Walking (3x) and Leaving Las Vegas (4x). One of them was a double-feature. I must have had a death-wish. In my defence, I was young and depressed. And Dead Man Walking especially still is a good film (I'm not sure I can ever watch LLV again; too depressing).

Will we ever have movie theaters again ? : (

Ordinary People

Club Paradise. FOUR times. It was the only movie playing at the cinema for weeks.

Funny because the movie is mostly forgotten today. What a cast, though. Robin Williams, Twiggy, Jimmy Cliff, Peter O’Toole and some SCTV members.

I saw Deep Blue Sea 11 or 12 times just for Thomas Jane. I thought he was the hottest thing I’d ever seen.

I saw it in three different theatres with about six different people. But mostly I went to the local $2 movie theatre and watched it alone. I was 17. I still watch it whenever it’s on tv, haha.

Uncut Gems this year. It blew me away and has so much symbolism and double meanings. Like a Kubrick film. Very existential. Favorite movie past 30 years

Superman I and II, Brokeback Mountain and The Talented Mr. Ripley

THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW... I still watch it....just because I wanna see that massive storm surge wipe out Manhattan. And when those soldiers in the RAF freeze to death in their helicopters. The tornadoes wrecking LA...I think that I saw it four times in the theaters.

Really embarrassed here: Nicholas and Alexandra (1971)--23 times. Henry V (1989)--11 times.

Ashamed to admit this: How to Make An American Quilt, and The English Patient. Both three times.

I didn't see Hello Dolly until it got to the suburbs. I was too young to go into the city and see it roadshow. But when it did I saw it so many times I honestly couldn't tell you how many times I saw it. It was in an old Fox theater which was very beautiful and is long gone.

R215 "Roadshow"--wow, you know your show biz history.

"Infinity Endgame" (3 times)

Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk" (3 times)

Frank Langella's "Dracula" (twice)

"The Year of Living Dangerously" (four times)

"Witness" (twice)

R200 - Another multiple-viewing on three consecutive Saturdays for "A Hard Day's Night".

"Dr. No" about half a dozen times. I took one look at Connery and was a goner.

Swordfish. Five or six times. Two guesses why...

This was the first Hugh Jackman movie I saw. I was sold.

I also liked the soundtrack.

The Lost Boys

Dead Again

Grease

Copycat

Truth or Dare

Much Ado About Nothing

Edward Scissorhands x4. I was captivated by the Tim Burton's (then fresh) visuals and Danny Elfman's score, which really made the movie. Criminally underrated, IMHO. Burton's vision has grown a bit tiresome, but he was at the top of his game in 1990.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Another early Tim Burton Triumph. Great visuals and music score. And Paul Ruebens's style meshed so perfectly with Burton's. So funny. Saw it 5 times and funny every time. The audience was enthusiastic each time too.

I saw The Phantom Menace 3x - Once, because it was opening night and I was looking forward to it. Second time, my nephew wanted to see it and I wanted to reevaluate how truly shitty it was. And a third time with a group of friends to make fun of how awful it was during a nearly empty midnight showing. I saw Guardians Of The Galaxy 3x The Cook, Her Thief, His Wife and Her Lover 3x Hellraiser 4x Return Of The Living Dead 4x Poltergeist 5x Porky's too many times to remember.

Ad Astra

Waiting to Exhale...saw this three times in the theatre. And I still watch it on cable. Angela Bassett is the backbone of the movie. Whitney was not as bad as she was in The Bodyguard, but no Viola Davis she.

Gravity and Charlie's Angels (2000)

Purple Rain
