Just as little kids want to re-experience stories over and over again, whether reading picture books or watching movies, we adults rarely relinquish the same pleasure.

In this case, let's call it Deja View

How many movies have you watched so many times that you can almost recite them?

Too many, perhaps, but with this caveat: three is my limit for most movies.

First to give it a look.
Then a second-chance when I thought I may have missed something.
Third, quite some time later, when an element (director, actor, cinematographer, music composer) draws later-career attention to early-career work.

Of course, the older you are the more time you've had to watch them again and again but I am curious as to what others do with movies they like or love.

Share them, of course!

And collect them -- on an ever higher-level-technology playback medium -- along with box sets, posters/lobby cards and especially soundtrack recordings when we LOVE 'em!

There are movies that I've seen that I would never ever want to see again, and some I wish I didn't see in the first place, but others just seem to be able to be digested over and over, even if they are not considered great films. I mean no matter when I see the pool scene in Caddyshack I start laughing way before "the event" actually happens.

Now that resonates with my identical reaction to the Girls' Camp brawl, between twins Sharon & Susan (Hayley Mills) in the 1961 original of 'The Parent Trap.'

When troop-master Frank DeVol tries to "catch" a sliding punch bowl...
...with the inescapable physics there concerned...
I've already been howling for half a minute!

Great thread, sir!
So here are my 10, with 20 or more viewings as my criteria, listed chronologically and my All-Time Favorite movie in bold:

"The Adventures of Robin Hood" - 1938
"The Quiet Man" - 1952
"Forbidden Planet" - 1956
"The Vikings" - 1958
"Journey to the Center of the Earth" - 1959
"The Time Machine" - 1960
"The Parent Trap" - 1961
"Goldfinger" - 1964
"Slap Shot" - 1977
"Superman: The Movie" - 1978

Besides, we're all cooped up - what else do we have to do?

Oh, kill an hour or so.
Far better'n counting the days until Shelter In Place expires, eh?

Motel Hell. It get's terrible reviews but I think it's a great movie

 

[timothyemerson]

No worries. If you dig Deliverance, here are a few others that fall into the same pile (for me anyway):

Rituals (1976):
1. Rituals Blu-ray Release Date January 18, 2019
2. Very limited release on this and it's the most expensive Blu-ray I've purchased (shipping killed it) and it's also got the most damage to the negative of any other BD I own.
3. Definitely worth a look though. It's got a Deliverance-like atmosphere.

Southern Comfort (1981):
4. Southern Comfort Blu-ray Release Date July 8, 2014
5. Good fun.
6. I find the need to turn it down a bit about halfway through. All that sloshing through the swamp is brutal on the ears.

Wolf Lake (1980):
7. Wolf Lake Blu-ray Release Date October 25, 2016
8. Rod Steiger layin' down the law!
