NFT: What movie(s) have you gone to see more than once?

Klaatu : 7/22/2019 5:46 pm
Star Wars (7 times), Animal House (3 times), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (3 times, but it wasn't my idea), Grease (2 times, but the second time was only to watch the short-film tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd that preceded it again).
Wasn't your idea?

The first movie I ever went to twice was the original Planet of the Apes. The first one I went to about six times was Kentucky Fried Movie.
Star Wars my first, in the summer of '77.

I've paid to see several versions of Blade Runner. Mostly nowadays if I like a movie that much I will watch it at home after seeing it in a theater.

though I did work as an usher at a movie theater during college and I would stay in the theater for most of pulp fiction until someone came looking for me then I had to pretend I was working.
I was going to say none

but I read the OP and realized I've gone to Rocky Horror a few times, bringing different people.

cmon young bored in poughkeepsie NY not much going on
Just clowning around
If i told you the story on how we dressed as arabs (back during the IRAN hostage crisis), cranking metal, picked up a drunk as a skunk hitchhiker
ah forget it!! You dont want to know
but it all ended with a bunch of laughs and no injuries
as we tell that story now in our mid 50's we look at each other like we had some issues
another movie multiple times - first 45 minutes of full metal jacket - thru the end of leonard lawrence just great stuff

also some sick twisted movie called dead alive thinks it from new zealand
As a teen I saw Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Wrath of Khan  
Torrag : 7/22/2019 6:41 pm : link
Twice each at the theater. Still 3 of my favorite sci-fi films of all time.

Steve in ATL : 7/22/2019 6:44 pm : link
saw it twice because someone I knew wanted to see it and I decided okay I'll see it again.
The movies I've seen many times include The Sting, Pulp Fiction,  
Ira : 7/22/2019 6:46 pm : link
the first two Terminators, The 3 Lord of The Rings, The first two Godfathers, Tombstone, Fargo, The first 3 Bournes, and The Harry Potter movies. The Sting is my very favorite.

this year. Once with one daughter, and once with my wife and our other daughter. I was 15 during the moon landing, and I've always been a huge fan of NASA and space exploration of all kinds.

I loved the Sting as well. While it was big at the time in recent times it really doesn't get the credit it deserves.

Ira, I'm talking about movies you've "gone to see" - as in at a theater - more than once, not just movies you've seen more than once.
I haven’t in quite a while  
UConn4523 : 7/22/2019 7:13 pm : link
less free time + the inability to see things twice and hold my interest no matter how good have kept me from seeing the same movie twice since probably college. Kill Bill was probably the last one which was over 15 years ago.
I was 14 and Hunt for Red October came out in Spring 1990  
Bold Ruler : Mod : 7/22/2019 7:14 pm : link
I went to see it in the theater 3 times.

twice.

Also, went twice to see the Incredibles 2 for the daughter. She loves that movie.
My list  
MadPlaid : 7/22/2019 7:33 pm : link
Star Wars: 10 times,
Raiders of the Lost Ark: 10 times,
Empire Strikes Back: 5 times,
Toy Story: 5 times
Aliens: 2 times
Rocky Horror Picture Show: over 100 times (I was a cast member)


It was nice when tickets were cheap.
It’s crazy how movie going was the big thing  
UConn4523 : 7/22/2019 7:38 pm : link
in the late 70s early 80s. It’s party why “adjusting for inflation” is a bit bogus for me when comparing revenue across decades. If it was 1980 right now we’d all be seeing he Lion King for the 15th time.

jvm52106 : 7/22/2019 8:28 pm : link

jpkmets : 7/22/2019 9:02 pm : link
classics like Star Wars, Ghostbusters, 48 Hours -- but the one that comes to mind was Her Alibi. I was at an all-boys boarding school in Mass. -- and we must have taken the bus into town to see that movie 15 times because of Paulina Porizkova.

Is only movie I have gone to see in a theater twice, though once was in Greece when I was out voted.
It’s great to see fans of “The sting” as it is my all time favorite movie.

Route 9 : 7/23/2019 12:14 am : link
The Dark Knight I saw 4 or 5 times. Anytime someone asked me to go, I just went. Twice in IMAX.

Avengers I saw twice.

Uhhh... Live Free or Die Hard I wound up seeing twice for some weird reason.

The first Jurassic Park, I saw 3 times.
I think the last movie

I saw multiple times in a theater was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
I wouldn't go multiple times to a movie for me

The Exorcist...  
KingBlue : 7/23/2019 7:57 am : link

One more... Jaws

Used to go to the Drive in Ledgewood, NJ. The movies would sometimes run for weeks. Anyway, great date movie because your date would get scared and real close :)

sat through two showings the first time alone at the movies (age 11 or so)
The only one  
Pete in MD : 7/23/2019 10:45 am : link
I can think of is Mary Poppins Returns. My wife and I took our son to see it and then a few weeks later, we went with a group of his friends as part of a kid's party I think. It wasn't a terrible movie but I didn't need to see it in the theater twice.
The Mummy 3 times  
GMAN4LIFE : 7/23/2019 10:53 am : link
21 Jump Street twice

Star Wars Episode 1- 3 times
Went with friends to see the Kevin Costner Robin Hood  
TheEvilLurker : 7/23/2019 11:55 am : link
then went with girl friend.

I went to see Jurassic Park twice, once with friends, the second with my little sister just to see her face when the arm was cut-off. Totally worth it (plus great movie).
