# of times you've been back to see a movie in theater?
 
Alright, how many times have you been back to see a movie in theater before?

My highest would be 5, and that recently broke my previous record of 4 (Bruce Almighty). The 5 would be The Lord of the Rings, ROTK. I saw it 4 times in our super-nice theater, and once in our older and smaller one. I think I could STILL go again! I've spent a total of $28.50 seeing it! (pathetic, I know:lol: )

So what's your limit on movies at the theater before you get sick of seeing them, or wasting money? I was wondering if anyone had seen a movie more than I had...?

maximusveritas 02-11-2004 07:38 PM

I've never been to any movie in a theater more than once. I don't see the point of watching them more than that.

bundy 02-11-2004 07:41 PM

i think i was dragged to Romeo+Juliet 3 times by various friends...
i've seen a heap of films in the cinema twice, the last one i can think of is Kill Bill.

EbolaVirus 02-11-2004 07:55 PM

The most I have ever watched a particular movie in the theater is twice. I can think of Gone in 60 Seconds, Signs, Final Destination, and Undercover Brother.

Glad-I-Ate-Her 02-11-2004 08:35 PM

The most I've seen movies in a theater is as follows:
Star Wars 4
Return of the Jedi 6
Empire Strikes Back 4

And most recently ROTK 2

Twice, and that was the Matrix
I think i was drunk the 1st time i went in or something :crazy:

I know there was some reason i had to go see it again :p

viper11885 02-11-2004 09:03 PM

Never for me. If I enjoyed the movie, then I would go buy the dvd and watch it at home.

RedCometChar 02-11-2004 10:54 PM

Never for me as well, unless you count having to see Jedi twice as a 4 year-old 'cause I fell asleep and missed the end. I usually only hit the movies about once a month, and I like to see something different each time.

illesturban 02-11-2004 11:10 PM

I saw both X-Men I and II three times opening weekend; one for every day of the weekend. Well worth it; especially for II.

bparker805 02-11-2004 11:29 PM

I saw New Jack City and Robin Hood both five times in the theaters. New Jack gets a little old but I still love to watch Robin Hood. MMMMMMM.... Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.

Mr.Deflok 02-12-2004 01:37 AM

Off the top of my head these are the films I've seen the most at the theatres...

Star Wars Episode One: 12 Times
Star Wars Episode Two: 17 1/2 Times (fell asleep once)
Star Wars Episode Four: 3 Times
Star Wars Episode Five: 3 Times
Star Wars Episode Six: 6 Times
LOTR FOTR: 3 Times
LOTR ROTK: 4 Times
THE LAST SAMURAI: 5 Times

I only wish I could watch SEVEN SAMURAI in the theatre... god I love that film.

Lasereth 02-12-2004 05:36 AM

It'll probably go to Matrix Reloaded for me. I saw it 4 times in a regular theater and once in IMAX. I saw the first Matrix three times in a regular theater.

I think I saw X-Men 3 times as well, but only because a few friends wanted to see it that same weekend.

I would have seen Matrix Revolutions more (saw it twice) but I seriously hit a dead spot in my wallet when it came out.

djflish 02-12-2004 06:50 AM

The only film I've been to see more than once is Love Actually, which I've seen three times now.
I didn't really like it much the first time round, but when you take a girl out and thats what she wants to see, there's not a lot you can do about it...

sherpahigh 02-12-2004 09:04 AM

Wow, I've been to see a couple movies twice in the theater, most recently Kill Bill. But on the second trip to the theater it's always at the cheap theater for next to nothing. I try and wait until the movies come out at the cheap theaters in general cause these big theaters these days are getting out of hand with their pricing.

I could never fathom going back to the theater to spend $13 a shot to see the same flick. I mean there's so much else there to see. And Bruce Almighty?? man, I know each to their own and all that, but I wanted to get up and leave that movie the first time. I know a lot of people liked it though, so I should shut up. ;)

quadro2000 02-12-2004 09:32 AM

I'm really, really cheap. It had better be a great movie to get me to go more than once. The exception to the rule was Phantom Menace, which I saw three times in the theater so I could see it with different groups of friends.

Other than that, I saw Finding Nemo twice in the theater, and probably one of the other Pixar flicks.

mattevil 02-12-2004 09:38 AM

I think I may have seen some film in theaters three times but i can't remember it.I remember seeing spider-man,o brother where art thou, and mars attacks twice.

sipsake 02-12-2004 09:42 AM

Movie I saw most in the theater was Rocky Horror Picture show. Back in early 80's. Lost count after about 60 times. It was more a social event than a movie though.

Blade Runner - 12 times
The Crow - 6 times
Original Star Wars - 8 times
Original Indiana Jones - 6 times.

mystmarimatt 02-12-2004 04:12 PM

Jurassic Park. I saw that 8 times because my friend was obsessed with it.

On a side note, I've watched Hook on video over 100 times. My favorite movie.

phukraut 02-12-2004 05:08 PM

i saw home alone 3 times in theatres. that is sad.

platypus 02-12-2004 06:02 PM

57 - Rocky Horror Picture Show

It's the pelvic thru-ust...that really drives me insay-yay-yay-yane!

Kyp 02-12-2004 06:19 PM

Matrix Reloaded twice, The Phantom Menace twice, Pirates of the Carribean twice, not sure about anything else, nothing else pops into mind but maybe there's more. I don't think I've ever seen a movie in theatre more than two times, though.

Redjake 02-12-2004 06:40 PM

I saw Matrix: Reloaded six times in theater, Kill Bill coming in a close second with 3 times. That's about it.

lucidity 02-12-2004 07:02 PM

Rocky Horror Picture Show- 63 times. :)

End User 02-12-2004 07:39 PM

Titanic 6 times, each time with a different girl.
Jerry McGuire 4 times, twice with the same girl, twice with different girls.
Fast and Furious 2 times, each time with a different set of mates.

pinklily 02-12-2004 07:43 PM

I can hardly sit all the way through a film once...not to mention multiple times....maybe I have an ADD streak in me somewhere.

bgivnin 02-12-2004 07:51 PM

I saw the first Austin Powers like 10 times, and the first Matrix like 12 times. I took EVERYONE I knew to see that movie. :)

Last movie I saw more than once would have been Matrix Reloaded. I saw it twice. Since then, I've not had the time to see any movies in the theater unless I HAVE to see it. The last movie I even saw was ROTK, I believe. I can't think of a movie I've seen in theaters this year yet.

I wish that I would have been around when that was in theaters:(! But I don't know that I could have seen it 60 some times?!? That's a lot of money...well, back then, I'm sure that it wasn't near the ridiculous cost of a show now. I loove that movie!:D

Dammit, Janet!:lol:

Mephex 02-13-2004 04:18 PM

Ha ha, Titanic 6 times, all with the same girl :)

GuttersnipeXL 02-13-2004 05:40 PM

I saw Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 12 times in the dollar theatre.
Also saw Starship Troopers that many times at the same place. Great Movies!!!

Nothing like seeing Rocky at a regular midnite show, dressed to the hilt, and acting it out in front of the screen with a dozen other half-drunk whackjobs. Used to go every Saturday night in Denver during the early 80's. As I recall it was only a couple bucks, so even on my meager college student earnings, it was no hardship.

I've got the DVD, and it is one of my favorites, but it's nowhere near as good as experiencing it in the theatre.

Don't get strung out...by the way I look. Don't judge a book by its cover.

BonesCPA 02-14-2004 12:36 PM

War Games - at least a dozen times. The local theatre had it second run for over a year. That was a long summer, broken up by a $3 break for War Games every other week.

Nikilidstrom 02-15-2004 09:56 AM

My top is 6, and that was for the Matrix. I saw it, then proceeded to bring everyone I knew to see it with me on the following trips. So if you didn't like Matrix, and wondered how the hell it did well enough to warrant 2 sequels, you can blame me :)

Previous record for me was 3 for both Braveheart and Pulp Fiction. For Braveheart, my SO at the time got board and we decided to get it on during the first viewing, so I had to go back and see it with some buddies a couple of times. As for Pulp Fiction, so many people said that they couldn't follow it, that I thought I had missed something on the first viewing. But after further review, they were just bone heads.

ladyadmin 02-15-2004 01:29 PM

Top would be 2/3 times. Jim Carrey's Liar Liar.

If we get into rentals then my top would be roughly guessing(just to name a few more notable ones):
10 - Willie Wonka And The Chocolate Factory
10 - Poltergeist(each one)
10 - E.T.
7 - Ace Ventura Pet Detective
5 - Nightmare On Elm Street(each one)

runawayfetus 02-15-2004 02:48 PM

iv probably bought 20 movie tickets to either of the three matrices... my favorite movies in the world

attercop1 02-19-2004 10:53 AM

Seen lots of movies a couple times but record is 5X for The Return of the King. The last time I saw it was at a discount theater though and the quality of film and sound was pretty crappy so I think I'm done til the whole set comes out on DVD. As for Rocky Horror, which I also loved, their website shows a U.S. map that shows cities and times where you can still go see a midnite show. Sadly, there isn't one near me.

bltzkriegmcanon 02-19-2004 12:04 PM

I think I saw TPM 5 times in theaters. The Matrix Reloaded - 3 times. That's about it.

SabrinaFair 02-19-2004 12:12 PM

I saw Titanic three times.

But it played at our theatre for like MONTHS, and it's only a dollar or two per show.

JohnnyRock 02-19-2004 02:04 PM

mine has to be 5 for Pulp Fitction

Bill O'Rights 02-19-2004 02:22 PM

Rocky Horror Picture Show...hands down. Between 50-60 times. I lost count.
