Popular culture has passed you by.
I think I'd make fun of these people if they went to the theater 76 times, no matter the movies they saw. I don't feel like breaking out my calculator but I'm pretty sure that dude spent more money on seeing a Star Wars movie than I spend on my son's clothing all year.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Viewing #118: I'm sure of it, Rey made blatant eye contact with me this time. Even the audience was aware of it, the tension was unbearable. Soon... soon I will enter the film. I'm getting closer every day.

I would watch BvS over TFA any day. TFA is just the definition of completely fine, inoffensive, a loosely strung series of events with just not much going on, full of non-characters who tell jokes and do vague hero things. BvS is interesting and confrontational.

Oh god no. BvS is not interesting or confrontational in any way. It clearly wishes it was though, which makes it borderline unwatchable.

I have seen Dawn of the Dead upwards of a hundred times but that's spread out over 20 years, and even that at some point feels like religious observance. I can't imagine seeing a movie like 20+ times, even if you run a projector I have to think you're reading the newspaper or something.

I've never watched any movie over twenty times. The very idea confounds me. Like...I might have, over the course of my entire life, watched a couple of movies I've really, really loved, like, eight to ten times, but even that seems like a bit of a high estimate.

There was a summer (2003?) wherein my friend and I smoked too much weed, played smash brothers melee, and watched the movie Out Cold everyday for like a month.

I don't think I can quote any lines from that movie today tbh.

There was one period in college where I went, like, 72 hours without sleep during which I watched the Lost in Space movie with Gary Oldman on cable non-stop for the last 36 hours or so to the point that it reduced me to tears, but even that wasn't twenty times.

I used to work in a theater and apart from having to run three movies simultaneously, there was no sound in the booth anyway. And these days you launch files from a computer terminal. Went to a theater the other day where the terminal wasn't even in the booth, just set up in the foyer. As one of the perks, I did get to see Fellowship of the Ring about six times. Then Two Towers came out and I don't know if it was the movie itself or fatigue from making a double feature of it, but halfway through I was like "gently caress this poo poo" and never touched a piece of LotR media since.

The movie I watched the most in the shortest amount of time was without a doubt the South Park movie, but on VHS. We're talking every single day for two weeks and regularly for a good deal of time afterwards. And stuff like Big Lebowski has to be up there in the double digits just by virtue of how long I've had it.

My dad's seen Notting Hill at least 20 times, probably many many more. One time he had it on and I asked him what the name of Hugh Grant's character was. He shrugged and said, "Who gives a drat?"

Maybe the original Transformers movie, when I was between 6 and 10 years old. I think the movie I've seen the most as something close to an adult might be Road Trip, because in college my friends and I would make the mistake of getting high before renting a DVD. Also Road Trip is eminently forgettable.

Braveheart. I loving love Braveheart. I don't now exactly how many times I've watched it, but I know it's for sure over 20. I still even have my Dual-VHS widescreen copy that I bought from my local Blockbuster with money I made from mowing lawns.

Notting Hill is a great movie. I still laugh every time Hugh Grant offers Julia Roberts apricots soaked in honey, or when Spike complains about the yogurt tasting like mayo.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



Probably saw films like Return of the Jedi, Temple of Doom, Gremlins, Ghostbusters, Goonies, and Back to the Future about ten times each in theaters, but then again these were summer films in 83-85 when home video wasn't really a thing yet (we didn't get our first VCR until 86).

I first saw Ghostbusters at a drive-in.

I used to have trouble falling asleep if I didn't have some kind of noise on in the background, and Sin City is kinda perfect for that with its constant droning narration. I guess that doesn't count, though.

I've seen the Star Wars OT movies more than 50 (maybe even 100 in the case of Jedi) times each. But that was due to some strange circumstances that existed when I was very young more than anything else.

Watching a movie in the theater more than a handful of times on its first run is weird as gently caress.

If I've seen any movie 20 times it's Labyrinth, but it's probably less than that, and mostly the product of growing up with hundreds of mostly-bootleg VHS tapes and no television.

Pitchfork was wrong. (f)lowers of Algerbong is crap.
Right after I moved out of my parents house the only thing I had was a laptop with a broken disc drive (couldn't afford internet at the time) and a tiny CRT TV with a built in VHS player. The only VHS I owned? Rain Man. Because of this I've seen Rain Man at least 150 times.
