    I've watched Finding Nemo with my niece roughly 127,093 times. My sister used to watch Grease five times a day.

    On a completely unrelated note, I hate Grease with all the fires of hell.

    The movies I've seen the most number of times are all films my family owned on VHS when I was a kid (Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Last Action Hero, Mrs. Doubtfire, Wayne's World, Wayne's World 2), followed by movies I owned on VHS as a teenager (Apocalypse Now, Boogie Nights, Eyes Wide Shut, JFK, Pulp Fiction, Schindler's List, Taxi Driver, Trainspotting), followed by movies I owned on DVD in the early 2000s (L'avventura, Bande Ă* part, The Big Sleep, Citizen Kane, 8½, Manhattan, Le MĂ©pris, Mulholland Dr.).

    According to Letterboxd, the films I've watch the most times since 2016 are Back to the Future, Before it Gets Dark, Ceremonies, The Cheat, The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach, The Green Fog, Der letzte Mann, Leviathan (2012), La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc, Pyaasa, Rouge (1987), and Stray Dogs (twice each). In fact, I've watched Ceremonies, The Cheat, and The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach three times each since 2016 (and I'd seen the latter three or four times before that) but I didn't realize until recently that you could log the same movie more than once.

    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (CĂ©line Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...

    Grease is fantastic. I could watch it anytime, anywhere.

    The only possibility of me being subjected to Grease ever again is if one of my kids is in a play. And I will actively try to secretly sabotage that production.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Is MC familiar with the My Name is Nobody films? Or that comedy duo? If not, shame.
    I thought the first one with Fonda was really good. I've seen it twice.

    DFA takin' it to the next level! Imma' have to think about some of those genre specific categories. I also realized that I've watched My Neighbor Totoro about 12 times in the last two years, so that is probably creeping up there (I had seen it maybe twice before that).
    That movie rocks. I saw it on the big screen a few years back.

    Really liked the way your organized this.

It also makes me wonder how much format has changed (if any) the way I evaluate movies. Like, would L'avventura have the same effect on VHS that it does on DVD, given that it's such a visually spectacular film? Also, I didn't know that you could log the same movie more than once... looks like I may have another reason to go down the Letterbox'd rabbit hole.

    This sounds like a horror movie where some fan snaps and ties up people who bash their favorite movies and forces them to watch them. I call dibs but I'm sure someone already made it.

    I started [re]collecting VHS a couple years ago. When I got the OG Star Wars trilogy, I broke out the boxset VHS I have and watched those (because some of the OG singles were sealed). Yes, I rewatched them full frame, with no special edition, and it was super nostalgic, because thats how I watched them over and over growing up. My top loader still works as my main player. I enjoy every part of the VHS experience, but it is really nostalgia. The clicks, the wirrs, the tracking adjustments, the rewinder.

    I need to get back at the tapes, theyre piling up in my office lol

    I couldn't get through Grease the second time I saw it. I think I rather watch Xanadu.

    I've always seen Jack Lemmon play assured characters, who know where they are in the world but whoah I've never seen him play a character like the one he plays in Days of Wine and Roses. I never imagined he could play a role like that!

    Most watched movies would be 2001, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Nights of Cabiria.

    Heh based on people's lists I forgot a bunch more films. I've seen FOTR double digit times, and the other two LOTRs movies at least four or five times each apiece. I think that would put it all at maybe 20, I think.

    Yeah, wtf is up with that cover?

    Feels like they tried to go for a Criterion-esque poignant and striking image...but went about it all wrong.

    The cover would've been perfectly fine without the revolver.
