Most watched movies – top 3

The Troll Hunter
District 9
Napoleon Dynamite

I always like to watch these again and again even though there are not my favorites…..

Star Trek 4 The Voyage Home
Red Dawn
Rambo

Sound of music (come on, fess up…half of you have seen it dozens of times too!)

Monty Python Meaning of Life….my fave python

Independence Day …. big silly sci fi but as a familly we love it and it has great one liners.

(Wall:E is quickly catching up and will be on most viewed top 3 in another few years).

Probably Anchor Man, Jurassic Park and Ghostbusters.

I would guess at:

The Matrix
Airplane!
Ghostbusters

The Great Escape
Blazing Saddles
Ronin

Pulp Fiction
5th Element
Star Wars

Blade Runner

Apocolypse Now (original version)

Dogtown and Z boys

Monsters vs Aliens.
Monsters vs Aliens
Monsters Vs Aliens.

Not cos it’s a stunning film (though is pretty good), but the kid’s obsessed by it, and watches it most days!

DrP

Tremors
Big Trouble in Little China
Blues Brothers

Taxi Driver
National Lampoons Animal House
Goodfellas

Army of Darkness

Never heard of this film!

1. The Incredibles (child & dad friendly, I think I like it more than him!)
2. Miami Blues
3. Thelma & Louise (wife’s fave)

(in the running: Godfather pt 2, Near Dark, True Romance, Reservoir Dogs)

bigblackshed – this may be the ‘films I’ve forgotten about and need somebody to remind me of thread’ but is also turning into ‘films you’ve never seen all the way through’ thread – ‘sound of music’ – CHB.
I kid myself into ‘social connectivity’ by watching a film off the TV, instead of ‘remembering’ to watch it from DVD.

Perhaps I need a STW ‘film club’: to include movies I bought/meant to watch – but never got around to 😕

Taxi (Original French version, obviously)
Great Escape
Italian Job

Could watch them all again and again!

Same here. I’m pretty sure I can still recite the entire script of BTTF from memory, I watched it so many times as a kid.

😆 yeah, you know the scene in BTTF2 where Doc is explaining to Marty why they are in an alternate 1985 on the chalk board in Docs storm damaged workshop. I used to recite the dialogue to that scene to my poor Mum and Dad when I was a nipper. Bored them rigid I did. I still remember the script to that bit now. 🙄

Army of Darkness

Never heard of this film!

AKA, The Evil Dead 3.

Mine, probably The Princess Bride, Aliens, Escape From New York. Maybe.

Seen Star Wars a lot (obviously), Highlander, BTTF, The Terminator, most of the Brat Pack and related movies, Wierd Science et al, Ghostbusters, probably more.

I never seem to watch the end of films these days. All the ones on before the watershed are rubbish and the ones on after the watershed are after I head to bed, so I just end up watching the first few minutes and then leave.

I’ve seen the first 30 minutes of Die Hard 4.0 three times now. Please don’t tell me how it ends.

I’ll always watch The Princess Bride if it is on though

Fight Club
Primer (still don’t fully understand it)
Shoot Em Up (we made up a lot of good drinking games to this at uni 😆 )

Top 2 are easy:

Jaws
Aliens

Had them both on VHS and literally wore the tapes out.

Number 3 is harder could be any from:
Die Hard
Braveheart
The Matrix
Blade Runner
Star Wars
Life of Brian
Ghostbusters
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Back to the Future

I don’t watch my favourite films that often anymore as apprantly “I seen that already” is a reason not to watch a film!

Debbie does Dallas.

Taxi (Original French version, obviously)

The Queen Latifa version was the only film I’ve ever walked out of! Only went as I love the originals (Taxi 2 trumps 1, I reckon) and I had free tickets!

DrP

All the ones on before the watershed are rubbish and the ones on after the watershed are after I head to bed, so I just end up watching the first few minutes and then leave.

PVR ??

Raising Arizona
Airplane
Fargo

Tough call but these would be up there in no particular order

Snatch

Pulp Fiction

5th Element.

Own all 3 on DVD and Blu Ray but still end up watching them if they are on Tele ….

I’m amazed that no-one else has said Top Gun. I can pretty much copy it word for word.

And why have so many people got the Princess Bride? I’ve never seen it.

What I would love is to know actually how many times I’ve watched all the films I’ve watched – I think there would be lots I’ve seen all or most of 20-30 times.

The ones that I have watched over and over are:

Repo Man
Life is Sweet
Hear My Song
American Beauty
House of Flying Daggers
Bladerunner (the original voice over version tbh)
The Sure Thing
Serenity
Gladiator…

Used to endlessly watch Paris Texas & Jesus of Montreal too, but I’m over that now

If we’re going back to childhood, then:

1. That awful half-animated Lord of the Rings
2. The Prince and the Pauper (with Oliver Reed)
3. The Outsiders

Fargo

+1 – what a film!
and
Glengarry Glenross
and
The Road Warrior (Mad Max 2)

Flash Gordon (as a kid)
Batman Begins
Trainspotting

In adulthood:

1. Thin Red Line

2. Magnolia

3. Wings of Desire

erm…

can’t think of any films I’ve deliberately watched all the way through more than a couple of times

Point Break might be one of them though. And Blade Runner. BTTF maybe. The Birds?
isn’t it amazing even with a wall/bookshelf full of DVDs, how many have you actually watched more than once?

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
True Romance
City of God

Fight Club
The Usual Suspects
Alien

Most watched :

– The Big Lebowski
– Freddy got fingered
– Point Break

Highlander
Withnail & I
Empire Strikes Back

Casablanca
Pulp Fiction
Aliens

And why have so many people got the Princess Bride? I’ve never seen it.

There’s an obvious solution to that dilemma.

1 = lord of the rings (trilogy)
1 = The Big Chill
3 The Big Lebowski
