For me American Pie (was the first movie I've watched in English, when I was finding out you could switch languages on dvd), followed by the Matrix.
Aliens Forrest Gump Incredibles Shrek Shawshank Redemption 5th Element Ice Age
There's a good set of movies I rewatch a lot so I can't say which is most often, but I'll pick a couple.
The first Matrix movie is up there for me. I think it's the best one and I've rewatched it the most. I've rewatched the following two, but not as much. I thought the fourth one was weird and produced too late so not going to watch that one again.
There's an obscure movie called Hunter Prey (2010) that I've rewatched a lot. It's a low budget sci-fi, but it's almost like a play with limited settings, just a handful of actors, and limited special effects. I really like the story, actors, and setting plus the music is good. Probably most people would think it's shit, but sometimes a low budget film can really nail it for me.
The Batman. Dune
Your Name (Kimi no Na wa). I've seen it at least a dozen times; it's always incredibly emotionally impactful every time. Really beautiful movie.
Warrior with Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte. Bawl my eyes out at the end every time I watch it.
The Dark Knight
The judge.
Leaves everything behind to become this great lawyer but when the unfortunate happens he has to go back and come to terms with what he thought was once lost.
Not sure why I keep watching it but I do enjoy how it develops.
draft - Steve Jobs (2015 Fassbender version)
2012, Wolf of Wall Street and the back to the future trilogy
Shaun Of The Dead
Ghostbusters. Saw it hundreds of times as a kid. Still watch it every few years.
There's a few for me but I'm going to go with A Knight's Tale and The Other Guys. Can't get enough of those 2
- My Neighbor Totoro
- Spirited Away
- 5 Centimeters per Second
- Your Name
- A Silent Voice
- I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
- The Graduate
- Summer of '42
- Lost in Translation
- The Virgin Suicides
Not me, but my partner watched the Jim Carrey Grinch movie every single day for a few months.
The original Matrix movie
Blade Runner Indiana Jones Cube Baraka
This all showed up in a line on my app, and I totally read it as one title "Blade Runner Indiana Jones Cube Baraka".
Jurassic park!
The Cabin in the Woods.
Pee Wee's Big Adventure as a child and too many Michael Bay Transformers sequels as an adult due to their frequency on FX and now Pluto TV. I think Dark of the Moon is aired most often.
Lone Wolf McQuade. Taped it on VHS and watched it with my friends all the time π
- The Blob (1988)
- Night of The Comet
- Night of The Creeps
Lost Horizon (Frank Capra) and Freaks (Tod Browning)
Just one, Interstellar. I don't watch a lot of movies but that one just hits different, I've watched it 7 times, could watch it again.
I saw Matrix 2-3 times when I was a kid, but no more than that.
Man of Steel
Shrek.
Because we lived somewhere without TV reception at the height of Shrek popularity and had it on VHS.
Also Shrek was the default option of teachers to show the class at the time, especially on bus trips
Inception! I think I even saw it whole in my dreams, or did I?
Back to the future.
