View Full Version : Your Most Viewed Movie
Is there a movie that you've seen more than any other? What is it?
For me, i watched the western Young Guns many many MANY times when i was a teenager, and know i've seen it way more than any other movie.
Congrats 06-28-02, 10:19 PM Contact, Contact, Contact. I was obsessed with that movie for years and then lost it. It was so dissapointing because I tried for so long to understand it, since I thought for years that if I could, I would be really smart. Then I realized the whole movie was impossible, for the predetermined reason by Carl Sagan that it would get people talking about science.:confused:
2nd would be Dancer in the Dark, but then something happened and this whole realy important section get really quiet. My DVD wasn't damaged, and I think Catherine DeNeuve did it just to spite me.:( :( :confused:
Asguard 06-29-02, 12:39 AM men in tights:D
i can repeat that one word for word ive watched it so often
NightFall 06-29-02, 01:56 AM The Long Kiss Goodnight
it has everything. action, drama, a wee bit of romance, comedy. You can watch it over and over again and never get tired of it.
hm..... and second would be How To Mary A Millionaire. :D
NightFall 06-29-02, 01:57 AM oh! and i almost forgot! The modern Romeo and Juliet. gotta love that one too!
ubermich 06-29-02, 03:41 AM contact had a point to it?
or are you saying you realized it didn't.
jodie foster was amazing, but i think i needed more resolution at the end.
but what do you expect, its a profound scifi movie. if that movie has a message i think it was uttered by her alien-lookalike-dad she imagined while in the big metal ball thingy. you can look in the stars for answers for eternity, but youll never find what youre looking for. the meaning of life is love and eachother. were all we have. .
Hmmmmmm. Either the Usual Suspects, Spanish Prisoner or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure!
nightfall;
John Leguizamo is an amazing actor in that.
'Peace?
Peace??
I hate the word. As I hate hell; all Montagues; and thee.'
Dr.Strangelove.
ubermich: I think you're right about Contact.
Of course, Carl could have made it a bit less bloody obscure....
Sublime Trigger 06-29-02, 01:38 PM Hate to be conventional, but I was bought up on return of the Jedi.....more recently, I'd say I've watched Fight Club and American Beauty more than nay other.
The old Excalibur movie with Helen Mirren and Patrick Stewart. No sense whatsoever of historical accuracy concerning armour and weaponry and such, but it's still groovy.
The Usual Suspects.
Titan AE (I'm a space nut).
Scaramouche.
Clint Eastwood westerns.
Old swashbuckling films.
Pitch Black.
Hackers!!! (It's just so damn cheesy it's cool).
By the way, Tyler, it is worth noting that The Usual Suspects was bankrolled by Spelling (the Evil One) Films. Freaky.
1. Hot Shots (1 and 2) those movies rock. they're super,
2. Stargate,
3. Star Wars (the old ones, but Clone War is cool too)
Pollux V 06-29-02, 02:25 PM 1) Empire Strikes Back
2) Star Trek Generations
3) Failsafe (wish I could watch it more often, it was the movie that Dr. Strangelove parodied congrats)
NightFall 06-30-02, 02:56 AM oh!! im wrong im wrong!! my most viewed movie isn't ANY of those!!!! its..
JOE DIRT!!
Mystery Motormouth 06-30-02, 03:06 AM Gummo, a lovely depiction of a hidden America.
Merlijn 06-30-02, 04:46 AM number 1 would be Akira,
Followed by Life of Brian and The Quest for the Holy Grail by Monty Python.
Hmm.. and Merlin (with Isabella Rossellini, Sam Neil, Miranda Richardson, etc).
I have been trying to get a copy of Excalibur for a very long time now. No luck (they've stopped producing the VHS, and I have no DVD player yet :() I loved it!
I suppose you can download it from kazaa and later burn on a cd
Cactus Jack 06-30-02, 09:32 AM First off, Adam Excalibur that is an awesome movie, must agree. Anyway for me:
Jurassic Park. First I used to watch it once a month then once a week then there actually was a year of my life where I watched it twice a day the whole year long. (I had no life then, even less then I have now). I can probably quote the whole thing. Its sick. I've probably seen it more times then any other human being on the planet.
I bought Excalibur on DVD for my little brother 6 months ago.
Hotshots 1,2
naked gun 1,2,3
airplane 1.2
loaded weapon

Pollux V 06-30-02, 05:22 PM xenu...that avatar is soooo messed up. Is that a picture of you with an alien mask over your head...croicky I find it chuckleworthy, anyhow.
Bebelina 06-30-02, 05:58 PM Harold and Maude, I have no idea how many times, but it's a lot. It always gets me in a good mood.
1. Caddyshack
2. The Lotus Eaters
3. Weird Science
I used to have Weird Science down line-for-line. Caddyshack is a strange family standard. Lotus Eaters is my oft-listed favorite film.
thanx,
Tiassa :cool:
Lost Highway
Weird Science
The Crow
Sound of music
Latexlover 07-05-02, 04:57 PM Probably Star Wars "A new Hope" for me :D
Dr.Strangelove.
Ahhh, yes, a very delightful movie. One of my favorite lines....
"I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. "
I like how the movie has two titles.

Pollux V,
xenu...that avatar is soooo messed up. Is that a picture of you with an alien mask over your head...croicky I find it chuckleworthy, anyhow.
Mask???? MASK!!!!???? How dare you.... why I oughta!!!! :p

Merlijn,

Have you seen Otomo Katsuhiro's new one, Metropolis? Not as cool as Akira, but definitely worth seeing. Has cool dixieland music in it.
Kenshin 07-06-02, 12:29 AM The Matrix :D

Shadowstrife911 07-07-02, 01:13 PM My little sister (6 years old) has watched 'The Land before Time' nearly every day for the last 2 years, thus, I can remember almost any part from that movie :cry:
Zoidberg 07-07-02, 05:45 PM So many movies, so little time. My most watched films are:
1 - The Fifth Element
2 - Spaceballs
3 - Hot Shots - Part Deux
Classics, all of them
%BlueSoulRobot% 07-08-02, 10:33 PM --Shadowstrife911--
Aw man, The Land Before Time! They just keep churning them out, don't they? But they always work with the tear strings :( ...first, it's dying grandparent, then it's no water, then it's the world ending*, then...
*not in chronological order, heh heh :D

Yes...umm...I have 185 DivX movies...:D
Just buy a TV Tuner, set the comp resolution on the lowest resolution (something like 600x400 or 500x300), preferbaly use a laptop for portability...then put on full screen mode and let it project on the TV...ahh DVD sound and quality...:D
Anyone like to trade, FTP...or pm me..I got a movie list for download if anyone is interested...
And the Godfather kicks ass!!
Shadowstrife911 07-09-02, 05:55 PM -BlueSoulRobot-
Yea i know what you mean... and they always have to travel to the other side of the world to fix the problem. I hope that a meteor hits their world soon, so I will never have to watch it again.
%BlueSoulRobot% 07-09-02, 07:07 PM --Shadowstrife911--
LOL! :D Yeah, I mean, they just don't die! They never get older, even when their voices change every time! And the singing! Now I know where Barney got it from...ancestral traits, bah! :D
%BlueSoulRobot% 07-09-02, 07:12 PM Oh yeah, forgot the mention:
I took the "Animal Personality Test". It turns out I'm either Dolphin, Sea Lion or Horse. :D Yes, super hybrid! muahaha! I talk in incoherent squeaks, can perform amusing tricks for sardines, and will kick the cr@p out of you if you try to saddle me! hehehe! :D Just call me Dolphealionhorse! :cool:
http://www.animalinyou.com/dolphin.JPG http://www.animalinyou.com/sealion.JPG http://www.animalinyou.com/horse.JPG Squeakbarkneigh! rofl :)
Bladerunner. That film gets better every time.
Not because I want to or anything, but The Wizard of Oz and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, are probably some of the most watched.
Nearly every Christmas without fail. How sad is that? :D
Do any of you have a little brother that will select a movie, and then watch it ten times a day for a week?:bugeye:
%BlueSoulRobot% 07-10-02, 11:04 AM Nope! :D But I'd kill for a sibling... :( You don't know how lucky you are, if you have a brother or sister. :(
I have four brothers and a sister.:eek:
%BlueSoulRobot% 07-10-02, 01:13 PM Hey Gifted, can you lend me one? :D Ah, I'm just kidding, it's not like you can sell them or anything, though I know many of my friends would dearly love to, heh heh!
Does "Misty Rain's anal diary" count? :D
What about "mission uranus" ? :D
%BlueSoulRobot% 07-19-02, 05:13 PM Escaflowne : The Movie (watched it 4 times already, only because it's on DVD and it's so irresistable) :D
relleumsirhc 07-19-02, 08:19 PM hahaah CLIFFORD with Martin Short.... its hilarious hes great in that movie (and no its not about the big red dog) im not THAT childish......:D
5th Replicant 07-25-02, 04:10 PM Blade Runner without question. Such an eternal theme, the value of all life. I'm constantly catching nuances I missed on previous viewings...Ridley Scott is the most brilliant director in the scifi genre, and the most talented visually in the entire industry. Even if it didn't have everything else going for it, I'd watch it over and over just for the visuals.
And yes, Agent@5, Scott has stated that Deckard is supposed to be a replicant, it's definiately inferred...particularly in the unicorn dream sequence which is included in the directors cut.
postoak 07-28-02, 09:40 PM Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo" (1958)
NOT for those with a short attention span. The first time you see it you may get a little bored or impatient for it to end, but it ages VERY well.
m0rl0ck 08-04-02, 06:36 AM Would probably either be "the big lebowski" (always great for a spiritual boost, the dude is a sage) or casablanca or the first three starwars movies:)
imagepro 08-12-02, 07:19 PM Gone With The Wind.
You Can't Take It With You.
Outlaw Josey Wales.
