Lord of the Rings.
That one is probably up there for me when it comes to total watch time (and we combine all 3 movies).
I’ve seen all 3 in the theatric release initially and after that I’ve watched through the extended editions 2 times. That’s like 30h+ at least.
I rewatch The Hobbit trilogy and LOTR (both extended) every year with my wife. I would prefer just watching a fan cut of the hobbit as I don’t think those are very good, but my wife likes them and a happy wife is a happy life.
So I think I have seen LOTR at least 8 or 9 times and hobbit maybe 4 times.
That still doesn’t come close to a Swanlake cartoon movie that I obsessively watched 4 times a day when I was around 5 or 6. My parents insist I must have watched it well over 100 times.
Same, except I snatched up both the theater and extended the minute they came out and have watched through them all numerous times. As well as now watched a lot of reaction videos for them, which I guess counts too. It’s fun to reexperience the first time through someone else’s eyes.
"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. "
Queue the goosebumps, we’re in for a hell of a ride.
The Princess Bride. It’s such a fun adventure that still holds up really well today.
INCONCEIVABLE!
That word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Another entry for me would be “Robin Hood (1973)”. I haven’t rewatched it in a long time, but as kids we (my brother and me) wanted to watch that movie over and over again. I’ve seen it more than ten times at least.
Oooodelolly!
Everybody do the Hamster Dance!
Office Space. The Usual Suspects used to be on TV all the time back in the day and is probably a close second.
The Matrix. No other movie is even close
Yup. Insane movie.
Crazy how dog shit all the movies after the first are, though.
Hackers
Hack the planet!!
Yo. Check this out guys, this is insanely great, it’s got a 28.8 BPS modem!
Top Gun. With all combinations of subtitles and dubs available.
Don’t ask.

Some 20 years ago it was kind of an in-joke between a few friends and I that whenever people were coming over, we’d be in the middle of watching top gun. I don’t remember how it started.
Did any one ever notice?
Yes, so it became common that they sat down and watched it with us.
Home Alone. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I don’t really rewatch movies anymore. There is so much content out there that I haven’t watched, I would rather see something new than just rewatch something that I’ve already seen.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail or The Fifth Element.
Probably “The Man from Earth”. Just such a good and well told story.
You’ve been on the internet for a while, yeah?
Are you trying to say I’m old?
I’m trying to say that that movie got popular online years ago and is still associated strongly with internet piracy culture!
Haha, then I guess I have been on the internet for a long time.
I remember downloading mp3s with Kazaa and it would take all night, sometimes days. Downloading videos in the shittiest quality was a month long endevour. But that was way before that movie released. I actually don’t remember when I saw it the first time or how and where.
The Big Lebowski
You want a toe? I can get ya a toe. Believe me, there are ways dude, you don’t even wanna know about ‘em, believe me. Hell, I can get ya a toe by three o’clock this afternoon, with nail polish.
I have seen Kung Pow: Enter the Fist over a hundred times easily
Every time I drive by a Taco Bell I have to sing, “Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell.”
My kids think I’m insane.
As a child: Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer

What I wish my answer was: Koyaanisqatsi
KOYAAAAAAA
NISQATSIIIIIIIII
The Other Guys. At first glance, it’s a buddy cop comedy that harkens back to Lethal Weapon, but with humor typical to ~2010. But, the more you watch it, the more Zucker brothers esque, 1980s surrealist comedy influences you notice. One of the most subtly weird and funny movies to me, I’ve probably seen it, no lie, 10 or 15 times.
Spirited away… Something about the first opening notes of the piano when that movie starts always moves me and fills me with such warm feelings.
Honestly most studio Ghibli movies I’ve watched a lot… But man… Spirited away does something to me.
