I don't think I've gone to any single movie in the theater more than three times. Here are the movies I've seen most. The Phantom Menace (3X) Inception Oblivion
This fella must have really loved the phantom menace, the cinema ain't cheap these days. How much did those 6 tickets cost?
I probably saw back to the future 6 different times when it came out ... just kept ending up in situations where a friend's mom or dad would decide to take them to a movie and I just happened to be there... so I kept going to see it
I think there might be one or two movies that I might have seen twice because of circumstance, like I saw a movie with one person and then my wife or daughter might also wanted to see it, so I went again, but I can't remember for the life of me, what those movies might have been. "War Horse" I want to say, might have been one of them. Pretty sure my parents took me to see "Close Encounters" when I was a wee lad, and then I recently went to see the re-release at the theatres.
I have the record here: *Enter The Dragon: 22 times from 1973-1976 (keep in mind there wasn't any VHS or 'home videos' available, so you have to go to theaters to rewatch your favorite films) Star Wars: 12 times The Empire Strikes Back: 19 times Return of the Dragon: 7 times The Chinese Connection: 6 times Beneath The Planet of the Apes: 4 times * I need to add that with the advent of home video I bought my first VCR after Enter the Dragon aired on tv on 1983. I bought a blank VHS tape begged my cousin who had that technology already to record it for me. And when I finally had the money to buy a SONY VCR ($389.99) I watched that film almost daily for a year. Since then I watch the film once a year. So after the 100 viewing I stopped counting.
Ah believe you. Befoor we had a video player, we used tae watch any old black and white shite that wiz on tv; Charlie Chan, Tarzan, Cheap Westerns etc The films Ah’ve watched the most (plus twenty times) are The Goonies, High Noon, Casablanca, Scrooge, Platoon and Star Wars A New Hope. Tae answer Joe’s cinema question only ever been back tae see LotR ‘Fellowship of the Ring’ 3 times (once in German) and ‘Dunkirk’ and ‘Return of the Jedi’ twice. Alright, Ah might’ve watched ‘Titanic’ twice as well but dinnae tell anyone - Ah’m no a bufty!
You mean most of you uppity fucks haven't watched a movie in the theater more than once? I call bullshit.
I've also never seen a band or musical artist in concert more then once. Granted, I haven't been to a ton of concerts. I just realized that. Weird.
I would think seeing any movie more than once in a theater would be uncommon simply because of the outrageous expense
Exactly. I mean, I was 5 years old when The King Of Marvin Gardens was released. I saw it that year, assessed it....but didn't feel the need to watch it again at the cinema.
I went to two Stryper concerts, two Petra concerts and way too many Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz concerts to keep count.
