E.T. - too many times to count. But I worked at a movie theater at the time, and after we'd finish our shift, we'd go in just for kicks. I will say that I've only seen it twice all the way through. At work, we'd lose the first 45 minutes of the movie because that's when we got off work.

Star Wars - the original. Three times in the theater when I was 14.

The Fugitive - Six times. Okay, I admit, this was the one where I just came unhinged. When I was 13, I fell like a ton of bricks for both Harrison Ford when I saw him in Star Wars, and for Tommy Lee Jones, both around the same time. And while Harrison Ford has kind of bored me for the past ten years or so, Tommy Lee Jones still does it for me. Really, all you had to say to me back in '93 was "Hey - did you know that the two actors you love the most in the world are together for the first time in a remake of 'The Fugitive'? Harrison Ford plays Richard Kimble, and Tommy Lee Jones plays Gerard." I was as bad as the shrieking Leo DiCaprio fangirls at "Titanic" back in '97 when I heard about "The Fugitive."

Legends of the Fall - Three times. More excuses: I was going through a really horrible breakup, it was right around Christmas, which makes horrible breakups even worse, and it had Brad Pitt at his utterly completely most gorgeous. Plus the music, the scenery, the costumes, the sad love story. I was really depressed, so it was either this or holing up in my apartment with pan after pan of Duncan Hines brownies.
I didn't think about re-releases while I read this, so I spent a little time trying to figure out how you were 13 when The Fugitive came out , yet a year older 15 years earlier.

Bad wording on my part, sorry. I was 13 when I saw Star Wars, fell like a ton of bricks for Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones that year, which was 1977.

Then in 93, when the Fugitive came out, I saw that. Sorry for the sloppy wording. My point was I saw both actors for the first time when I was 13 in '77, then the Fugitive came out in 93 - when I was 30, not 15.

Episode 1 - 4 times
Clones - 3 times
Sith - 2 times
Fellowship - 5 times (2wice by myself)
Towers - 4 times
RoTK - 2 times and the 1 at 12 hour LoTRathon
T2 - Over 5 times, I think 8
Sneakers - 3 Times
ID4 - 3 times
Robocop - Like 6, I think
The Abyss - More then 3 maybe 5
Big Trouble in Little China - 3 or 4 times
The Untouchables - 2-3 times
Titanic - 5 times

I have seen a bunch of movies more then once but those give you an idea.

Here are some real doozy's thou..

Innerspace - 32 times, no bullshit. I lived at my grandmas house at the time and I was I think 12 or 13 and every day for an almost 2 month period I went and saw this movie. Still one of my all time favorite flicks.

Transformers The Movie - More then 15 times over a I think 2wo week period, same theater. I went in the morning then would come home and eat then maybe go to the arcade then back to the movie.

Eventually I made friends with the manager there and he started to let me in free here and there for Innerspace after about the 15th time.

3 times remains my record. It's shared by two films a decade apart. 1997 it was Liar, Liar. 2007, Knocked Up shares the crown. Anchorman was watched on campus for a third time so it's an honorable mention. I know that film by heart.

My most ridiculous record is seeing The Wrath of Khan three times. In one day. I saw it in the early afternoon with some friends. That evening, I was telling another friend that he absolutely had to go see it. He said "Well let's go". So I saw it again. After it was over, he said "If you think I'm leaving this theater, you're crazy". So we stayed and watched it again.

I can't count the number of times I've seen Star Wars in a theater. I saw it several times on its original run, and I've gone out every time there's been a re-release or a special screening. Counting the Special Edition, it's probably well into the dozens.

Just about every scifi-fantasy-action genre flick starting with Star Wars and ending with Aliens.

Thanks a lot, Star Trek V and Freejack, thanks a lot.
