List the Five Movies You've Seen the Most Times

Bunch of movies I've never seen are on these lists.

Mine:

The Goonies

A New Hope

The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi

The Karate Kid

I tried to think of movies I was watching when I was 8 that I still watch now. If I were to start at age 20 I'd guess LotR, The Matrix, and Harry Potter movies would be in there. I watch those more often now than The Goonies or Karate Kid. Maybe Little Miss Sunshine and Shaun of the Dead would make a top 10.

I love Shawshank but I almost always watched it when it came on TNT or some other cable channel, and I don't watch cable anymore. I've never actually owned it.

I know, that's more than 5 but just the movies I know I've seen a buttload of times, off the top of my head. Did not include the numerous Disney movies we watched repeatedly with the kids.


Watched by your own free will and forced to have in the background by a 4 year old ARE two different things.  Some VHS about dinosaurs (not Bigfoot(?)) was on CONTINUOUSLY 12 HOURS PER DAY FOR 6 MONTHS would have to be #1 for me!!

Other wise:

Christmas Story (yet never from beginning to end)

Tora! Tora! Tora!

Midway

Top Gun

Star Wars Episode IV

It was Littlefoot........The Land Before Time. ;) I think we still have all of them on VHS. I actually liked most all of the movies I had to watch over and over again because of the kids.

And Tora Tora Tora and Midway should've both been on my list. Probably #2 and #3 behind High Plains Drifter. Also Bridge on the River Kwai.

 
I don’t think I have ever laughed harder in a movie theater than during the mountain punch dancing scene. 


That movie is such a cult classic in the weirdest, somewhat underground way. But I love it so much to the point that if any stranger randomly quotes it I know I can immediately trust them and like them. 






idk if it'd be up your alley but I think it's one of the most memorable quotable comedies of the last 15 years. Might be a generational thing. Really off the wall absurdist humor - think weird SNL sketches meets Napolean Dynamite.

I am not sure I could name the 5 movies I have seen the most.  I will name 5 movies that I will always stop and watch when I am channel surfing. 

Ocean's 11- I love caper movies 

The Fugitive- I was just watching this movie on Wednesday.  Again, just a well done movie.  

Apollo 13- I know how it ends, but it is just a great movie

Highlander- There can be only one

Apocolypto- My wife and kids say I always watch this, and they are right. 

OK I thought of a few more

Skyfall

Casino Royal

The Bank Job

Any of the Cornetto Trilogy 

Beer Fest 

 
Star Wars original trilogy 

Terminator I & II

Lethal Weapon I & II

Die Hard I & II

Raiders of the Lost Ark

The Holy Grail

Christmas Vacation

Animal House

 
Major League

Caddyshack

Christmas Vacation

The Program

ConAir

Animal House, Clerks, Blazing Saddles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(original) probably give the others a run for their money though

Ha, somebody actually listed a movie I've "never even heard of in their top 5.  Any guesses...?
"Enemy Mine"???   That was actually a pretty good movie with Louis Gosset Jr. and the normal Quaid.

Edit: Never mind, maybe I should read the whole thread to see even more obscure movies than "Enemy Mine"

My top five: Tribute to disney (my kids are 9, going on 10)

1. Cars

2. Toy Story

3. Frozen

4. Planes

5. Mary Poppins

The Shawshank Redemption

Dumb and Dumber

Tommy Boy

Son in Law

Remember the Titans

The last 2 are mostly my wife's fault.   There's probably a couple old school Adam Sandler movies that would be close to cracking the list.  I guess comedies just have good replay value to me.

Shawshank for sure is #1 if you count the TNT version.   Although I did wear out my old VHS tape.
