Movie you saw the most times at the theater

[MonkeeMan]

Mine is "Bonnie and Clyde".

My buddy had a '57 Crown Victoria that we would load with teenagers and ill-gotten alcohol, go to the drive-in where it was playing, and sneak in. Saw it about 20 times that summer. We loved that flick.

The funniest part was a couple of us would jump out and stand on the tire puncture contraptions at the exit and he would back the car in. Like if somebody saw a car coming in the exit, but it was pointed out the exit, it was OK. Never got hassled though. Good times.

I think I saw The Matrix:ReLoaded 5 times not because it was good but because I was still trying to figure out what the [censored] was going on.

[diebitter]

Probably Empire strikes back. I'd guess something like 5-8 times.

[SL__72]

Mine are kinda weird... Ocean's 11 I saw 5 times, every time with someone else who hadn't seen it.

I also saw Star Wars EP II 3 times within 24 hours of its release...


Niether is one of my favorite movies, but I enjoyed every time I saw O11.

EP2 I bought tickets for a noon show opening day, won tickets and saw it the night before (93x premier), went to the noon show and then went again with a whole bunch of people "opening night."

[kyro]

Anchorman....twice. (In other words, I have better things to do with my money then see a movie more than once in the theaters.)

Star Wars like 12 times. A friend and I just sat in the theater all day a couple of times.

[astroglide]

pulp fiction at a dollar show 6 nights in a row, stoned every time.

sounds just like me, right?

[rohjoh]

Platoon, saw it about 10 times.
My girlfriend at the time had passes to get 8 people in to the movies at any time. Nothing else good was playing at the time.

[Frills]

Recently...

Episode 3, 4 times

Batman Begins, 3 times

Not so recently...

Titanic, 3 times (the ex was teh devil, thats borderline cruel and unusual)

Now here's what I don't get. Do we all actually hate Titanic, or just say we do because it's the manly thing to do? There have been far worse movies.

[swede123]

I didn't hate it. In fact, I was somewhat entertained throughout. However, some movies just don't warrant re-watching more than once every ten years or so. This is one of them.

Swede

[Freakin]

Can't Hardly Wait & Independence Day. I saw both at least a half-dozen times.

Gotcha. And I would agree.

[stabn]

Crouching Tiger Hidden dragon at 4x. Different friends and my group at work all decided they needed to see it about 3 weeks after i saw it.

[WackityWhiz]

I saw the Sixth Sense 3 times in the theater and never saw more than 20 mins of it each time. I was 15 or 16 and just made out with my girlfriend the entire time haha. I gave her the magic finger many a time in the theater, good times good times.

[Blarg]

I saw The Shining 9 times in the theater.

[Mars357]

Star Wars. Me and my friend Brad went to see this movie every Saturday of it's original release. I think it played something like 28 weeks at our mall in Orem, UT... We were 11 and there was nothing else to do... /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MCS]

I saw 8 Mile and Shaft (the 2000 version) twice each.

[mmbt0ne]

TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze
or
Mean Girls

I saw each somewhere around 4 times, but all of the Mean Girls were at the dollar theater, in case that counts against it.

[Phoenix1010]

Sin City 3 times. LOTR II twice.

[mason55]

One summer when I was like 14 I just hung out at the movie theater every night because it was walking distance from my friend's house. Many times I wouldn't see a movie, I'd just stand outside and smoke with the other hoodlums. It was a really really nice and busy shopping center though so we always people to harass.

Anyways, I saw The Fast and the Furious like 14 times that summer.

[offTopic]

Star Wars & Kill Bill, Vol. 2, twice each. I'm not a big movie repeater.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie twice in the theaters. Maybe when I was a kid, I don't remember. I regretted not seeing Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon a second time though.

It's interesting you mention Crouching Tiger, as it is one of the few recent movies I've seen more than once. It is definitely worth seeing on a really big screen with really good sound. Another one I remember is Memento, simply because it blew my mind and I just had to try to figure out what was going on (which I didn't, of course).

[Duke]

I saw FOTR about 15 times in theaters.

I have seen Jaws more times than any other movie by far, well over 100. Never in a theater, though.

~D

[samjjones]

I used to keep serious count of my number of "Predator" viewings, but I lost track of the accurate number in the high 300's. I watch this on DVD a couple of times a month still.

[diebitter]

you must be a goddamn sexual tyrannosaur - like me /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[pokerdirty]

i saw titanic 3 times.

i was 6th grade.

i went the first time to see the movie. i went the next two times to see booby. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[WDC]

I've seen each of the Harry Potter movies three times in theatres with my kids.

I saw Crouching Tiger with a buddy who is into martial arts, and we both loved the film. He's not crazy about wire-fighting but still thought the fight scenes were great, I thought the visuals were outstanding, and Chow Yun-Fat is one of my favorite actors. Ziyi Zhang was added to my list after this film. I wanted to take the Vibesgirl to see it but we never got around to it, which we both ended up regretting. One of the best "big-screen" movies around.

I didn't see Memento in the theaters, but I've seen it a few times. Good movie, I thought Guy Pierce was great.

I don't actually get to the movies much, I'm more willing to see a film on DVD. I'm a smoker and like to smoke, and don't want to have to put up with other people's crying kids and what not. I try to make it to some movies, I've seen both Spider-Man movies and all of the LOTR trilogy in the theaters, but I don't get to many. One year I only saw two films: The Green Mile and South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.

One other thing...

The Matrix-6 times, 2 or 3 times to understand it, the others because it was so freakin cool

[SCfuji]

[stinkypete]

teenage mutant ninja turtles. twice.

I've seen Predator less than 50 times.

[fnord_too]

"Stop Making Sense"

I used to work at a one screen threatre and we had it when if first came out and once a schedule as a late show for years.

Edit - For reference, Star Wars is a very distant second (I think) at probably 15 times (13 when I was 7, think I saw it twice in re-release at the theatre I used to work at).

I have seen many movies many times since they were free to me and I had to be at the theatre anyway usually.

[ZeeJustin]

Titanic 3 times.

The first time because I wanted to.
The second time because my female cousin was too young to see it by herself, and her parents didn't want to take her.
The third time because all of the girls in my class (I was in 6th grade at the time) were obsessed with leonardo dicaprio and one decided to throw a titanic birthday party. I ended up sneaking out to see Good Will Hunting. I came back just in time to see a dozen of my female friends crying to Jack's death, and the guys sitting there embarrassed.

[WEASEL45]

Stir of Echoes 4 times

[private joker]

The Thin Red Line 4 times.

[Onaflag]

Does a Drive-In count?

Up In Smoke

Don't know how many times. Many many. None of us had a license at the time and would sneak over the back fence and park our cases of beer in the back row. Fun times.

E.T., either 5 or 6 times.

[evil_twin]

I saw the 1989 version of Batman 24 times. This was because I was working at the cinema at the time. I saw many 1989 films multiple times, but that was the stand out. I signed up to work a lot when it was on because I loved the Batman comics. What a mistake.

The cartoon "The Land Before Time" was another good one, I actually didn't mind seeing that a lot.

I saw the first Robocop film 4 times by choice, because I was only aged 15 and it was the first 18 rated movie I succesfully got into. I actually still like the film as well.

By choice, I just saw the recent Serenity a second time today, it was still very good. But then, I'm a Firefly saddo.

Yeah I really enjoyed it. It choked me up in a few places, and still does! Some of the younger kids used to really freak out at the scary parts, I actually had to ask one poor mother to leave during one showing, her tiny daughter was screaming so much.

[Cancuk]

I have a couple, all 3+ times. All for different reasons, some uninteionally.

The Matrix
Lord of the rings: 1-3
Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Love Actually

Not really an answering the OP, but the movie I've most seen on VHS is 'the wanderers' - about 30 times. (it was the first video I ever got). If it's DVDs, I think it's Dogma - I love that movie, and it has the grotesquely pretty Alanis Morrissette as God, so must be worth a look.
