As Good As It Gets
Don't think I've spotted any of the Apocalypse Now! cuts yet, but saw Redux probably 50 times the first couple of years since it was released in cinemas and the original short maybe ten times. Been a few years though.
Others: Python's Grail, grew up with it, saw it with my dad, seen it so many times that I thought it might be appropriate to watch it with my then five year old son. Bonding time, eh? Spoiler alert: it was not, and some scenes of the movie must have blindsided me. 34 year old me done fucked up. The little dude had nightmares about disembodied limbs and decapitations for months on end. Wife was not too happy, and had me go through her for movie picks for months. Dad laughed hysterically at me when I told him.
Love actually: Seen it at least fifty times. Still makes me weep with joy.
The Dark Knight: Way too many times. Ledger's Joker is a fine match for Klauss Kinski in Nosferatu, which I've only seen about 20 times.
Harry Potter series: not one of my favourites, but my kids all love them, and why humorous disembodiment in Python scares the shit out of my son, and Potter's exploits do not, I cannot fathom.
The Wolf of Wall Street (4-5 times), the lifestyle of Jordan Belford impressed me so that's the reason.
My daughter and I have watched White Christmas together about 15-20 times. You can pretty much suck me into any movie whose premise is that everyone is desperate for snow. Plus, if you’re not impressed by the dancing then you aren’t really an athlete.
And yeah, I like it as much as she does at this point.
Scorsese and the Band’s “The Last Waltz”... every Thanksgiving. Family tradition at this point.
And then the ski films... Barrymore’s Last of the Ski Bums and Stumpy’s Blizzard/ Groove Requiem/PTex, Lies, and Duct Tape.
The Great Escape
The longest day
Le Mans
Blues Brothers
Goldfinger
Seen Mulholland Drive maybe 4 times and still don't have a great handle on it
Oooh, I somehow left Dark Star off my list. I probably saw that at least four times before I even finished college. It's on Kanopy, by the way (and so is Rock and Roll High School from my list above).
Yup, I've seen MD a few times as well. SPOILER: The seemingly coherent bulk of the film is her dream-fantasy. Then, late in the film, the fantasy implodes, and the unhinged stuff near the end is her reality, or perhaps not entirely faithful, nor chronological, flashbacks of her reality. What the fantasy means is probably where you're at around the 4th viewing. Anyway, yes, great film.Quote:

Arild cracking me up about kids getting nightmares. But learned years ago to consult IMDb parents guide for sex, language and violence before watching a “classic” movie with my young boys
Fortunately they’re old enough to watch raunchy filthy bloody tripe now.
Good catch. Easy to forget how damned hot KT was before she became jabba the hut.

Casablanca, hands down the most, maybe 50 times and The Maltese Falcon a bunch as well, always liked Bogie.
Holiday Inn is another B&W Classic I have seen a lot. 1st Debut of the song White Christmas FTW.
From the rest of the lists; Holy Grail, Last Waltz, Apocalypse/Platoon.
