What is your favorite movie of all time? And, approximately how many times have you watched it.

Mine: "Sound of Music"--- probably have watched it more than 20X...plus, I have the dvd so I can watch it anytime I feel like it.

I'd have to say Grease. I've watched it at least 10 times.

oh wow....too many to name! I love Fiddler on the Roof, Chicago, and Wizard of OZ.

When Titanic came out I think I went 13 times. Craziness!

I LOVE Pride & Prejudice with Colin Firth.

Mine is the "The Blind Side" I have watched this so much my kids are sick of it. They know it line by line!!Just a good feeling movie for me!

My husband and I love Dragonfly with Kevin Cosner. Just love it...

lots of favorites--when star wars came out, i went 14 times--until i realized it was the music i was in love with. got the soundtrack, and never went to see it again. favorites: Harvey, Arsenic and Old Lace, Philadelphia Story, Sleepless in Seattle, Blade Runner, Addams Family, Everafter, Princess Bride, and the list goes on. if i had to pick two--harvey, and blade runner. harvey is one of the best, ever--jimmy stewart at his best: gentle insanity--or not, depending on your perspective. blade runner, for the real message--what is the value of a life?

May favorite one is Fried Green Tomatoes. I have no idea as to how many times I have watched it. If I am flipping thru the channels and it is on I have to stop and watch it no matter how far into the movie it is. I have only seen the beginning 2 times.

When I was in high school, the movie Arthur came out. Don't know what it was but Dudley Moore cracked me up. Saw it so many times I could recite the movie in it's entirety.

Now, I never tire of seeing Gone With The Wind or Jaws. Go figure. :roll: :wink: :lol:

My favorite oldie is MY COUSIN VINNIE.
My new favorite to add to my list is THE BLIND SIDE!

The Fugitive, never tire of Harry, lol!

My daughter and I have watched Parent Trap soooooo many times! We know it by heart and she does a great British accent!!! We even know what parts they cut when it's on television. My daughter says I'm a Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock fan as I tend to have their movies and listen while I sew.

The Wizard of Oz.
E.T. This one is sad and uplifting at the same time.

The Day The Earth Stood Still...I love old black and white movies!
Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Angela Lansbury is marvelous in this.



And speaking of movies, have you seen the one about a 1928 movie of Charlie Chaplain, where on a sidewalk right outside a movie premiere showed what looked like a woman or a man in drag, talking on a cell phone? I've watched it several times, and it left me confused. There are masses of stuff about it running all around the internet!!!

The Horse Whisperer

Paint Your Wagon
The Quiet Man (Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne)
The Lake House
Monsters INC
Sweet Home Alabama
North by Northwest
The Incredibles
all of the Shrek movies
The Sound of Music
The Music Man
The Wizard of Oz

Are you a Coast 2 Coast listener? I am! That film clip was kinda spooky.

I don't have any particular movie!!! Oh -- LOL Monsters Inc --- LOVE that movie!.... My daughter watched Grease until I knew every line of the movie, son watch "The Christmas Story" at least 100 times (one year 5 people gave him the video!!!) and DH LOVES Quigley Down Under (I like it, too). I can walk in the room, see the TV and know IMMEDIATELY what's happening if Quigley is on.....

Oh, I have several. But two of my favorites were not "BIG" movies. Same Time Next Year" with Alan ALda and Ellen Burstyn and Bicentenial Man with Robin Williams. If you have not seen the later rent or netflix it. I guarantee you will need a hankie by the end

I'm sure it is just an big scam Like when if you played (I think it was) Rubber Soul backwards it keept saying Paul is Dead or or like in the movie 3 Men and a Baby you could see a strange figure hiding behind the curtains in one scean. That one turned out to be a standee of Ted Dansen that someone had but there as a joke. And nowadays with all the stuff you can manipulate with a computer you never know what to believe!

-------------------------------------
I'm not familiar with Coast 2 Coast, sounds like it might be a talk show. This was and at this time still is on AOL sites. I've watched it many times and the old lady's actions are exactly like most of the people on our streets now. There's a good explanation somewhere, but I suspect it would take the joy out of knowing!!
I gave up Santa Claus reluctantly, love the Easter Bunny because I love animals, don't believe in witches, even though one of my aunts was one and did things I can't explain even now..but cell phones in 1928? Sure wish Isaac Asimov were alive now, he could write a real good book about it and make it very real.

No matter how good a movie is, I seldom want to watch it repeatedly.

But every Christmas I watch "The Snowman", by Raymond Briggs- magical.

My favorite of all time is "A Christmas Story" I have the DVD so I can watch it whenever I want. I did not grow up in the era the movie is set in, but so many things in it still remind me of my childhood. Like the black rubber boots with the metal buckles, my brothers wore those. Being layered with so many clothes, you can't put your arms down. And my all time favorite, when my brothers kept asking for a beebee gun - "You'll shoot your eye out!" Priceless!

Oh My GOSH!!!!! I never meet anybody else who's ever seen Same Time Next Year----was scrolling thru here just in case but didn't think I'd see it....I think it's one of the best movies of the past several decades but most people have never even heard of it! The music is great, the storyline is fun.....just a feel-good movie for a lazy weekend afternoon. Highly recommended!!!

OK, I'm the nerd. In our house the favorite is the original version of the "Andromeda Strain" (NOT the A&E remake).

My most favorite is Ball of Fire with Barbara Stanwick (oldy, but moldy!) and 2nd best if Princess Bride.

Meant to ask when I first read this. Did you catch the SOM reunion on Oprah, Thursday I think. All the kids, Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. The show ended with the real Maria Von Trapp's great grandchildren, three girls and a boy, singing Edelweiss. What beautiful, beautiful voices.

The "Princess Bride" has to be our second favorite too.

Waking Ned Devine - love the music, too.
Wizard of Oz.

Colin Firth was absolute perfection in that role!

Other favorites, in no particular order:

The Sound of Music
The Full Monty
A Man For All Seasons
About a Boy
Anne of the Thousand Days
The Dam Busters
Stalag 17
Billy Elliot
Strange Bedfellows - the Paul Hogan movie
Love Actually
Twelve O'Clock High
Babe
The Graduate

Gone With The Wind
The Hunt For Red October

Blazing Saddles

dr zvagho! watched it 4 times .... read the book. then, haven' been 'out' to the movies in 35 years.

Gone with the Wind

Yes, I did watch (and recorded) that Oprah special on all the cast. I always wondered where and what they're doing now.

Oh, yes, I have seen it, too. Being a movie addict of well-made movies, this was one I liked also.

Last of the Dogmen with Tom Beringer about 20x's +++
