So we had the "Movies You Have Walked Out Of" Topic recently so I figured hey, lets do the flip side. What are the movies that you thought were so good that you went back to the theatre to see them again?

Here are mine:

Mortal Kombat (2 times) - This was the first time I ever wanted to see a movie twice.
Spiderman (2 times)
Spiderman 2 (2 times)
Dawn of the Dead 2004 (3 times)

 

[6.8]

The Matrix
The Phantom Menace
The Sixth Sense

...I worked at a theater in 1999.

 

[Bog]

I saw Mortal Kombat twice in the theater... in the same day.

 

[Smidget]

That I can remember:
AI (2 times) - promised a couple different people to go with, didn't really love it that much, especially that ending after the ending crap.
Truman Show (2 times) - adored that movie.
Amelie (3 times) - initial time with a friend because we thought it looked good, dragged parents to it, they loved it, and dragged some more friends to it, also loved it
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (3 times) - see above
Toy Story 2 (2 times) - it rocks plain and simple.

And there was probably others but I can't think of them.

 

[SaitoH]

-Star Wars (original release)
-Aliens (6 times O_O )
-Terminator 2
-Little Mermaid
-Matrix
-Beauty and the Beast (2nd time was IMAX release)

^w^

Most summer movies I'll see twice if they are reasonably decent. In a big effects show I'll see multiple times and just look at the details of the production. After the 2nd time I see a film I don't even follow the movie I just look at the screen.

 

[Memles]

The Lion King (Regular and IMAX)
The Lord of the Rings - Entire Trilogy twice a piece.
Spiderman 2 (IMAX and Regular)

[Spike Spiegel]

Gimme a sec to look thru my old ticket stubs...

Spider-Man 2 (3x)
LotR: Return of the King (2x)
X2: X-Men United (2x)
Spider-Man (3x)
X-Men (3x)
Gladiator (2x)
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (8x) - What the hell was I thinking?!?
The Matrix (2x)
Saving Private Ryan (3x)
Godzilla (3x)
Star Wars: Special Edition (2x)

I only started keeping ticket stubs in 1995 though. I'm positive I saw the original Jurassic Park multiple times too; I was such a total dinosaur nut back then.

 

[dem]

I dont get it... maybe I dont like movies enough.. but I would NEVER goto see a movie multiple times. I mean... 8 times??? Thats fucking insane.

I have a hard time buying movies on dvd cause I know I'll only watch them once.

 

[Sagitario]

None...

 

[Troidal]

The Matrix - 4 times

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - 2 times (although I slept through parts of it the 2nd time)

Star Wars: A New Hope Special Edition - 2 times (also slept through parts of it the 2nd time)

I dont think I'll ever watch the same movie twice again.
It has to be really that good, and hell, back in 1999, The Matrix was great.
(And still is, sorta. Reloaded/Revolutions....oh the tragedy.)

 

[Kefkaff]

LOTR:FOTR(twice)
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Special Edition(2 times)

 

[gofreak]

Spiderman (twice)
The Return of the king (twice..really regret the second viewing now. i was willing it to end..there were so many endings I had FORGOTTEN some of them from the first time round).

 

[Willco]

Spider-Man (6x)
Spider-Man 2 (4x)

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I dont get it... maybe I dont like movies enough.. but I would NEVER goto see a movie multiple times. I mean... 8 times??? Thats fucking insane.

Yeah, I did get carried away with Phantom Menace. IIRC I saw it 3 times on opening day, 2 more times with coworkers and friends, 2 more times with family, and 1 time when visiting family in Tennessee. By summer's end I never wanted to see it again.

 

[Semjaza Azazel]

I hate seeing movies more than once. Every time it's just a film I wind up getting dragged to against my will. Stuff like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. What a fucking awful movie.

The only one I willingly saw again was Kill Bill Vol. 2.

 

[Brian Fellows]

My brother almost never watch any movie more then once. Be it in the theatre or at home. there are like 4 movies he likes to watch over and over. One of which is Office Space.

 

[Alucard]

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (7 freaking times)
The Matrix (2)
Spider-Man (2-3?...)
The Phantom Menace (5...kept trying to convince myself that I liked it)

Uhh...I'm sure there have been others but those are the only ones that come to mind immediately.

 

[Oni Link 666]

[Seth C]

I used to do it all the time. For example, even crap to so-so movies like....

Star Trek Generations
Stargate
Street Fighter

And I think that was all in one summer.

 

[suikodan]

I never gone and paid for seeing a movie more than once.

But recently I saw Spiderman 2 and saw it a second time in a free screening from Nokia for the N-Gage game.

That would be it.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Titanic (2)
Man In The Iron Mask (2)
Attack of the Clones (2)
Return of the King (7)

 

[Hitman]

Titanic (2)
Man In The Iron Mask (2)

How the hell did you sit through that boredom 7 times!

 

[MIMIC]

Only one for me:

"The Ring" (2x)

 

[Triumph]

Shit, lots. The ones that I can remember just from this year are Anchorman, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fahrenheit 9/11 and The Corporation. I'm sure I'll see The Life Aquatic like three times in the one week of calendar year 04 that it has, as well.

Edit: my record is seven theatre viewings for 12 Monkeys, in case you were curious.

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

The Matrix 6 or 7 times
King Arthur twice(not really by choice though)

 

[snaildog]

The LOTR movies are the only ones:

Fellowship 2x
Two Towers 2x
Return of the King 3x

I'm more of a DVD nut than a movie nut - I prefer watching them in the comfort of my room, even though I have a crap setup. For me having other people in the movie theatre is kind of like having someone else read a book over my shoulder.

 

[Mason]

Matrix: Reloaded (4 times)
Kill Bill: Vol 1 (6 times)
Matrix: Revolutions (3 times)

There are tons more, but that's all I can remember off the top of my head right now.

[Son of Godzilla]

Spiderman 2 (5 times)
Braveheart (2)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (13)
Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban (2)
X-Men 2 (2)
Kill Bill Vol 1 (2)

I think that's it.

 

[Hournda]

None. I would've seen Kill Bill 1 again in the theatre but instead I just downloaded it off the internet.

 

[Dead]

Jurassic Park (10 times at least, you know back at that dinosaur loving age)
LOTR FOTR (3 times)
Matrix reloaded (3 times)
matrix revolutions (twice)
Spiderman 2 (twice)

those are mostly recent ones, aside from JP, theres tons more but cant remember, though many already mentioned

 

[Alex]

I haven't done this in many years, the last time I went to a movie multiple time in theatres was when I was still in school, and was drug to fucking Titanic five or six times.

Some of it was fine with me, but for the most part any sane person can understand my plight, and why exactly I detest this movie with every fiber of my being,

 

[Lambtron]

South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut: 7 times
Fight Club: 6 times
Kill Bill Vol. 1: 2 times
Kill Bill Vol. 2: 2 times
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: 2 times
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back: 2 times

I hope that I can see Cannibal! The Musical in the theatre again. Hopefully with a good crowd this time.

 

[TAJ]

HUNDREDS, literally too many to even know where to begin, though I've toned it down a lot lately.

 

[Mrbob]

Kill Bill Volume 1 (3 times)
Kill Bill Volume 2 (2 times)
Dodgeball (2 times)
Signs (2 times)
