Good topic. I can't stand to watch movies more than once generally.

A few good ones, I can watch again much later.

Off the top of my head, pretty much picking from the posts above:

Dr. Strangelove (a few times, very rare)
Platoon x2
Lord of the Rings several times because of commentary tracks
2001 a few times
Alien a couple times
Blade runner x2
Just watched Big Trouble in Little China a second time.
The Corporation twice.
James Bind movies once every so often.

I could watch some more again, Hitchcock classice like North by Northwest, Seven Samurai, Roshomon. The Koyanisqaatsi series.

Hard to think of one I'd watch a second time soon after seeing it.

I rarely watch movies at all, but then once in a while I see one that I watch the crap out of over and over. Some listed below:

Watchmen
Kickass
Lord of War
Princess Bird
Grosse Point Blank
Blues Brothers
Pulp Fiction
Fearless

Edit: oh and I watched Star Wars an ungodly amount of times as a child, but watch the first two prequels and bits of the third effectively unwatched them.

Spaceballs is about the only movie that I'll watch whenever I see it on TV, which is not that often.

LOTR trilogy
Star Wars ANH, ESB, ROTJ
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
Dumb and Dumber
Disney's Aladdin Trilogy
Zombieland
Adventures in Babysitting
BASEketball
South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
Big
Bio-Dome (my guilty pleasure)

I worked in the video department of a grocery store while I was in high school. We would play When Nature calls over and over again on the TV at the checkout counter. This went on for about 6 months. After a while the customers started saying "Not that again."

The movie that I've probably seen the most? Back to the Future. There aren't many other movies that I can say that I've watched a ton, but I do watch some of them more than once. I usually just get a hankering to watch a movie (regardless of whether I've seen it), and I'll go watch it. Right now, I'm getting a hankering to watch Terminator Salvation, and strangely enough, I bet I'll get a few posts saying that it's not even worth watching once! :biggrin:

How can people watch the same movie 10 times? -_-

We have our ways...

Was just thinking about this subject, because I watched Legally Blonde yet again waiting for the Yankee Game to come on. I watch it because that's as close as I'll every get to go to Harvard Law School and because the movie is not even slightly like the few people I know who actually are
Harvard Law School grads.

Lots of what's already been said.

I agree totally with this. The only reason I watched Let The Right One In more than 10 times is because it was so good and I loved it so much.

Though it is the only film I ever did this with.

..and yet I find that movie nausiatingly boring....so there's your reason. People have different tastes. There aren't many movies I'd watch more than once, but there are some.

Well I like snow.

Did you see the American remake ? Let Me In ? I didn't though some people liked that better. I bet because of the girl actress. Wouldn't surprise me.

Donnie Darko
Wall-E
Men in Black series
Rush Hour series
Home Alone series
Eurotrip
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Not sure how many times, I've probably watched Donnie Darko the most and I might have watched that about 20-30 times.
