What Movie Have You Watched The Most Number of Times?

[yamo yamo]

For me it would be Animal House. The summer it came out I watched it 2-3 times a week for 3 months. That was back when you could bring a six pack in and smoke weed in the smoking section. Second place goes to Rocky Horror.

[biosc1]

Easily Blade Runner. I have watched every iteration at least once...VHS, DVD, BluRay (all editions)...on TV...Heck, I've even watched it on my dads laserdisc back in the day.

[jason]

Joe versus the Volcano. I watch it at least 3 or 4 times a year.

[Balasarius]

The Matrix. Used to watch it all the time while playing Everquest (lol downtime). I've probably seen it about 30 or 40 times.

[Penny Dreadful]

I'd say Aliens, but Star Wars IV-VI, Predator, The Thing, Alien, and Blade Runner would all be close. There was a period of time when I'd put one of the above in the VHS/DVD player every single night.

[JD]

The Big Lebowski, I guess. That and Groundhog Day.

[John Reynolds]

Star Wars. Saw it eight times in the theater by 1979, and then it hit HBO in the eary 80s. Watched it a few times with the kids in the last year or so, probably putting my viewings up around 30 or so.

[Ed Solomon]

Caddyshack

"I don't think the really heavy stuff will come done for awhile now."

Second place goes to Stripes.

"God, I wish I was a loofa."

[malkav11]

It's hard to say because there's only a handful of movies I've watched more than two or three times, but I can't remember how many times I've seen each. If we count watching some partial chunk of it without getting to see the full movie, probably Princess Bride, which I think I've seen almost every year throughout junior high, high school, and maybe part of late grade school, not to mention snippets here and there elsewhere. I've only seen it all the way through maybe once, though. If that. If we don't count that, probably The Craft. I was really into that movie in my youth. It combined a magical revenge fantasy for the ostracized and bullied and a bunch of really hot women, which was a surefire winner for me. (I haven't seen it in years. I'm sure it's actually terrible.)

[Morkilus]

Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.

[Omniscia]

I used to watch Jurassic Park near weekly, back in the day.

[Pogue Mahone]

This question is not easy for me, just because I've seen quite a few movies a whole bunch of times. But the one that stands out for me is Beetlejuice, mainly because back when I was in high school there was a theater in Little Rock, where I lived at the time, that would charge $2 for any movie on Tuesday evenings. I went with a friend every Tuesday for ten, maybe twelve weeks to watch Beetlejuice every Tuesday. So that, combined with video and cable viewings, probably puts it over the top.

[Razgon]

Gladiator - I think I've seen it around 9 times by now.

Mindhunters is a close second though, that I've probably seen 6-7 times by now.

[JPR]

Either Billy Madison or The Professional... At least several dozen for both.

[Anonymgeist]

The Big Lebowski for me, probably followed by A Christmas Story.

[Warning]

Excluding the Star Wars movies (child of the 70's here) I'd have to say Pulp Fiction.

[charmtrap]

Either Miller's Crossing or Rushmore. At least 20 times each. And I'll bet Pulp Fiction is right there as well.

EDIT: Oh, also, Tombstone. At least 20 times. I dunno what it is about that movie...it's compulsively watchable. And Val Kilmer's scenery-chewing, of course.

[MattKeil]

Either Star Wars, A Christmas Story, or The Princess Bride. If I had to put money on it I'd bet I've seen A Christmas Story the most.

[RichVR]

2001: A Space Odyssey hands down. I saw it in the theater during the original release. My best friend's dad took us. Since then I've watched it innumerable times. I have it on VHS and DVD. I'll be getting it on Blu-Ray. It never gets old.

Runners up would be The Fifth Element and The Princess Bride.

[Juste]

Must be Aliens or Predator.

[None]

Gremlins. It was played repeatedly on Showtime one summer and after seeing it a couple of times it became a thing for my sister and I. We started checking to see when it would be on and made it a point to watch it whenever it was. I remember even setting an alarm to get up at, like, 4:30 one morning near the end of that summer just to try and watch it one last time.

[Dave Markell]

Probably Highlander, though Stripes and Ghostbusters aren't far behind.

[Pyperkub]

I think it would be Raiders of the Lost Ark. I think I saw it at least 10 times in the theater during the initial summer release, and then a bunch of times since. It was the movie I christened my first hdtv with (though I did watch the opening of Star Wars first).

[ReptileHouse]

I've lost track of how many times I've seen Star Wars (ep. 4, specifically), but it has to be at least in the 30+ range other folks are talking about. I've also seen Caveman and Strange Brew a staggeringly embarrassing number of times, but I suspect SW still tops the list by a good margin.

[Coca Cola Zero]

Easily Star Wars, mostly due to viewings in my youth when it finally got on to cable.

If anyone in this thread is under 30 (young after the home video revolution) they are almost certainly (though perhaps unconsciously) lying about what movie they've watched the most. Because I've seen friend's kids viewing habits, and pretty much universally if left unchecked they will watch the stupidest piece of shit animated movie 5 times a day for months.

[unbongwah]

Definitely the original Star Wars. Had a VHS tape back in the `80s - must've burned a hole in that poor thing in elementary & middle school.

Second place is a lot harder to figure out, but probably either Wrath of Khan or Aliens. I purchased the deluxe LD of the latter which set me back a pretty penny in the `90s and gave it a good workout - had to get my money's worth, after all. Though often I'd skip the first "platter" and get straight to LV-426 - is that cheating?

[krise madsen]

In the movie theater, the only one I've seen more than once is Terkel in Trouble (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386820/), which I saw three times, and it got funnier every time.

Across all media, I think Serenity has edged out the usual suspects by now.

[gameoverman]

Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke. There was a time when this movie was on a tv everywhere I went EVERY day. It was to movies what that Bob Marley cd Legend is to music.

Of stuff that I actually chose to watch, maybe The Road Warrior. There was a time when I considered that the best action movie I've ever seen and even right now I can't think of a better one.

[Moggraider]

The Royal Tenenbaums. I think I catch something new in it every time I watch it.

[jason]

Oh, Joe versus the Volcano is the movie I've intentionally watched the most. One summer after getting my first personal computer (not shared with the family) Beetlejuice was on HBO 3-4 times a day every day for a couple of months. I didn't really watch it that many times, but I was in the room and it was on a couple hundred times.

[Kadayi]

It's a toss up between Blade Runner, Goodfellas, The big Lebowski and The Royal Tenenbaums. I definitely watched all of those over 10 times.

[lordkosc]

Hook was the first movie we got on VHS when I was a kid, and I recently just watched it on Blu-ray ,so I am pretty sure since 1991, I've seen it at least 20+ times.

[Jag]

Vacation, Caddyshack, Airplane, Holy Grail.

I pretty much have them all committed to memory.

[krayzkrok]

Aliens, undoubtedly. I actually counted up to the 57th time, and then stopped counting. Why 57? I have no idea. Perhaps the notion of counting suddenly struck me as incredibly inane, as though it wasn't before. Perhaps the notion that I'd sat in front of a TV 56 times (the first was at the movies) to watch the same 2 to 2.5 hours of footage was vaguely embarrassing. I've probably seen it another 30 times since then, but these days I'm down to watching it only about two or three times a year. I actually blame my grandmother for this. Really, she was the one who vouched for my age (I was 15) to an 18-certificate movie (it was in the UK). I don't think she really liked horror movies, but she loved spending time with me watching them. So it became a tradition to watch Aliens on VHS every few weeks for a while. We were soon quoting bits of dialogue to each other. Best gran ever.

[nogwart]

In a movie theater (before DVD or VHS), Holy Grail at least 10 times, although most were "sneak ins" where I'd pay once, then hide in the bathroom of the theater until time for the next showing, then come back and sit for the next show. OMFG, that was fun in a "I'm getting away with something really sneaky and bad" kind of way!

DVDs: LOTR:Fellowship, without a doubt, at least a hundred times, although an "awake during full viewing" count would be closer to a few dozen. I used to watch it almost religiously on weekend nights after my gaming itch was satisfied with many beers and snacky-type foodstuffs. Yes, I can recite many, many scenes.

[madkevin]

Similar to krazykrok, I also stopped counting the number of times I've seen my fave movie: Singin' In The Rain. I had the count going to about 51 or so, but that was many years ago so I'm probably up around 70-75 times now.

[KWhit]

I'm sure it's Star Wars since I saw it a bunch of times in the theatre as a kid and many times on DVD or VHS since.

But for recent movies, it would have to be LOTR. I rewatch that trilogy at least once a year.

[Sarkus]

As far as sitting down and watching its the LOTR trilogy because I watch those at least once a year, and sometimes several times if I get into the mood of watching them with the commentary tracks on.

On the other hand we have movies running where I work and they don't get changed out all that often. Gnomeo and Juliet has been running for months and months, for example. In the past we had Despicable Me and Megamind running for long stretches. But I rarely actively watch those (other then when we put a new movie in) so I'm not counting them.

[Austin Arlitt]

I have no idea which of the Star Wars films I've seen the most (it's probably Star Wars or Jedi; my appreciation for Empire didn't grow until I did), but I know that for all of them it's over 100 times. I'd ballpark the one I've seen the most somewhere around the 200 mark.

Yes, really.

If we look at more recent films, I've seen the theatrical cuts of Lord of the Rings maybe 40-50 times, and the extended editions (which I didn't buy till much later) a half dozen times or so. (All estimates weighted more heavily toward Fellowship viewings for the obvious reason.)

[corsair]

I never kept count, but in the days of the Million Dollar Movie (KHJ-TV for you SoCal people, now KCAL channel 9) they'd play the same movie every night of the week, and if it was one I'd like (or more importantly in those days, one my mother would like), I'd watch it every night. And next year, they'd do it again (and again, and again). So, things like Robinson Crusoe on Mars, Forbidden Planet, Jason and the Argonauts, Mysterious Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth, I saw a lot of times. No idea how many times, but over 20 for each of them at the least. Probably the two Harryhausens.

And speaking of annual rites, Wizard of Oz (and figuring my age, that comes up to rather a lot).

Modern ones - probably the Matrix, which probably gets repeated more often per year than the old Million Dollar Movie format did.

[Hal9000]

Hook was the first movie we got on VHS when I was a kid, and I recently just watched it on Blu-ray ,so I am pretty sure since 1991, I've seen it at least 20+ times.


Holy cow, I have just about the same story. TV was powered by a car battery and an inverter, so the time was limited, but when I was a kid, I watched Hook and Jumanji a billion times. Not sure what it would be in my adult life. I'll have to think.

[CLWheeljack]

I don't really re-watch movies all that much, so I don't have a particular standout. I don't think there's any movies I've seen more than a couple times end-to-end. But what comes to mind:

Memphis Belle: In grade school I had a friend obsessed with WWII hardware. We watched this every Dec 7, as well as every once in a while just because.

Rocky Horror Picture Show: My wife loves it, so we watch it most Halloweens.

Coming To America, Shawshank Redemption: Both of these are on TV all the damn time, often when there's nothing else on. They're also just eminently watchable comfort food-type movies.

[Universal Leader]

The Empire Strikes Back. I saw it in theaters at least 5 times back in 1980 and I must have seen it at least 40 or 50 times since. But Aliens, Blade Runner, The Godfather and The Big Lebowski are in the running.

[Brian Rubin]

For me, it's likely these, in some semblance of order:

Airplane!
Serenity
Star Trek II or VI
The Bourne Trilogy
Shoot 'Em Up
Babe
The Back to the Future Trilogy
How to Train Your Dragon

[Kelan]

My wife and I rarely pull out movies we own and watch them again, but there are a few we will almost always watch if they are on TV and we notice it. It is most likely one of these (listed in order), although I don't have an idea on the counts of each.

Happy Gilmore (just saw it again last night)
Lord of the Rings
Jurassic Park
Braveheart

Mine could also be Highlander if it was on more. I haven't seen that one in quite a while.

[RichVR]

...So, things like Robinson Crusoe on Mars, Forbidden Planet, Jason and the Argonauts, Mysterious Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth, I saw a lot of times. No idea how many times, but over 20 for each of them at the least...

Yeah, those were movies my brother and I would watch late on a Friday night, black and white TV, while our parents were out. Grandma was asleep on the couch, and we were on the floor.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars is a freaking classic. Adam West and the Martian Machines from War of the Worlds. Which is another amazing movie.

[merryprankster]

Caddyshack, followed closely by The Big Lebowski.

[Major Malphunktion]

Star Wars easily.

Aliens, Godfather I and II.

Heavy Metal I probably watched 100 times in my teenage years also.

[corsair]

Yeah, those were movies my brother and I would watch late on a Friday night, black and white TV, while our parents were out. Grandma was asleep on the couch, and we were on the floor.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars is a freaking classic. Adam West and the Martian Machines from War of the Worlds. Which is another amazing movie.

Oh, that reminds me of another George Pal production - The Time Machine. Saw that one rather a lot, too.

[Funkula]

I honestly have no idea. I don't intentionally watch movies I like over and over again, so I have to go back to childhood, where boredom and parental fiat resulted in much more of that.

Star Trek II was on about every other Saturday for several years on the one TV station with good reception. I don't know how many times I watched it, but it was enough that I don't really care for it to this day, despite its universal acclaim as the best Star Trek. Then we got the VHSes of the whole series and watched them over and over again, because if you wanted to watch IV, well, you can't watch it without watching the first three. And if you for SOME reason want to watch I (it's my dad's favorite, inexplicably), why not go through the whole series? So yeah, I've seen Star Trek II a fuckton, and I, III-VI a slightly smaller fuckton.

Christmas movies: we have a whole shitload of them that we watch every year like clockwork. It's A Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Carol (George C. Scott), and even the hilariously inappropriate yet arguably Christmas themed The Lion in Winter. However, none of them have gotten as much exposure as Ernest Saves Christmas, which got multiple airings per year for quite a long time. My brother and I were just the right age to be into Ernest when he was famous, and we still have a soft spot for his shtick to this day.

[Bandersnatch]

Has anyone mentioned The Big Lebowski yet? Because that's the one I've seen the most times. It's the last movie I actually bought, since usually when I buy a movie I never watch it again. That wasn't the case with The Big Lebowski.

The Fifth Element is probably tied with The Big Lebowski. I watch it every time it is on TV.

Die Hard - Seen this a ton of times and it's become my official Christmas movie.

Other movies I've seen countless times on TV:
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Groundhog Day
Dumb and Dumber
Jumanji

[serling]

Difficult to say. Die Hard and 12 Angry Men maybe? I've seen Goodfellas way too many times as well. And Taxi Driver.

[nabeel]

The Matrix and Ghostbusters. There are movies I love more than these two, but for some reason I can watch these over and over again.

[DKDArtagnan]

Alien and Aliens - no contest. If we count "background viewing" - we're talking 100+ for each. I'm a huge "atmosphere" kind of guy, and I tend to rewatch movies that take me to places with strange or powerful settings more than others. Most movies can't take me anywhere - but those two movies certainly can.

Alien wins here - even if Aliens is my favorite of the two. It's because Alien is MUCH more powerful in terms of atmosphere - and is ideal for the purpose of getting transported/immersed.

[Ginger Yellow]

A toss-up between The Big Lebowski and The Princess Bride, which are my two go-to coming-home-from-the-pub movies. Easily dozens of watches each, though for obvious reasons I've lost count. Ghostbusters has been gaining ground recently, but has a lot of catching up to do as I only watched it twice before I was 25 or so.

[Houngan]

Miller's Crossing and O Brother Where Art Thou? would be high on the list, along with Highlander and Snatch, which has returned to Instant Watch BTW. Oh, also Tin Cup, I really need to buy that again after losing my last DVD.

[Rock8man]

I'm surprised mine hasn't been mentioned yet: The Sound of Music. I loved it because of the songs and the story, and watched the VCR recording we had of it over and over and over, more than any other movie. One caveat: I'd never seen the first portion of the movie. The part we recorded was from the moment that Maria goes into the Von Trapp house for the first time. Now that I have the movie on DVD and have finally seen the beginning of the movie, I have to say that my own personal version of the movie (that starts later in the movie) is much, much better, and doesn't have that boring start with the nun singing and Maria in the convent portion. Better to get to the good stuff faster! :) God, I love that movie.

[Larsen B]

One of the Disney films from the 90s. Cinderella was the first VHS I was ever given as a present so that's up there but I can remember watching Beauty & The Beast and Aladdin an awful lot.

As a rational thinking adult though, I've seen Zodiac at least once every year since it came out, and probably double that for Baumbach's Kicking And Screaming.

[snowcrash22]

For a few semesters in school we didn't pay for cable (and didn't steal it either) so the bright idea was to wire all four TV's in the four bedroom to the same VCR. But we only owned a finite number of movies.

So the most watched movie has to be Goodfellas

with honorable mentions going to Raising Arizona, Rocky IV, Lethal Weapon 2 and the first half of Full Metal Jacket.

At least two of those movies were playing each day at some point in time.

[Murph]

Probably a close match between Star Wars and Serenity. Empire Records might not be too far behind, either. What an awesome quotable movie. Fellowship of the Ring might be next in line.

[Teiman]

The grounddog day, I think, and it make absolutelly sense, I love the movie to bits and get better every time.

[Relayer71]

These, in rough order of times viewed:

A Christmas Story
The Godfather I and II
Empire Strikes Back
The Princess Bride
Monsters Inc.
The Incredibles
Glengarry Glen Ross
Groundhog Day

And it's funny how many of these wouldn't make my top 10 films of all time. Some of my top 10 fave films I've only seen a few times. Then again, The Good Bad And Ugly is about 3 hours long!

[JFrazer]

Sort of an odd mix. Not positive on the order, but yeah, seen this more times than I can count.

The Matrix - used to watch this every weekend
The Last Starfighter - my favorite movie as a kid. Watched it until the VHS tape gave out
The Usual Suspects - yeah, it has a "twist" ending, but still just a great movie from start to finish
I Love You Man - My wife and I love to watch this together. Just something about it clicks with us
Scrooged - Not something I would think is on my "most watched" list, but it's become a movie we watch multiple times every Christmas season. It's added up to dozens of watchings.

[RichVR]

...the first half of Full Metal Jacket.

Hahahaha! So much this. I've watched this many times and I'd guess that I watched the second half maybe 20% of the time.

[Penny Dreadful]

Sounds like an idea for another 3x3. Great movie halves!

[Zeitgeist]

Das Boot It's such a different war movie than almost any other war movie out there. In fact, much of it isn't really a war movie. Real humans overcoming impossible odds but being ultimately doomed... The mini series is highly recommend over the director's cut.

Excalibur I'm a huge fan of the "knighthood ideal". This movie has so many great and touching scenes, some which move me to tears, every time (for example: When Arthur visits Guenevere in the cloister for the last time). The Wagner score is perfect for this movie.

Ivanhoe (the one with Robert Taylor) Watched this as a kid so many times I have lost count. I just love righteous knights kicking ass and this has plenty of it. For additional badassery: Ivanhoe appearing as black knight at the joust and challenging all Norman knights.

I have a yearly ritual where I visit my parents on christmas and watch one of the above movies.

Honorable mentions: Old Star Wars Triology, Lord of the Rings Triology

[Alex Hopkinson]

Fight Club, although after the first 5 years I've probably only seen it two or three more times.

Like a lot of people in the thread, I've also watch The Matrix a lot. And because they were some of the first movies I owned or had available on DVD: LA Confidential, Snatch and Gladiator.

[Qwijybo]

I really like talkies apparently, because when I think of the movies I feel compelled to watch they are all dialog-heavy:

The Shawshank Redemption (I've also watched just the Brooks Was Here scene more times than I can count, still gets me)
The Big Lebowski
Pulp Fiction (for TV viewings, this often ends up only being from the start of Butch's story on. I always seem to come in midway through the Walken monologue)
Groundhog Day
Princess Bride

It is very hard for me not to watch any of these if they are on. Just this Monday, I stayed up till 1:30 on a weeknight (whatever, I'm old now I guess) to watch Pulp Fiction because we caught it channel surfing.

EDIT: Oh, counting kids movies, The Neverending Story and The Electric Grandmother probably make the list, too.

[Ginger Yellow]

If we're honest with ourselves, The Princess Bride is a kids movie too.

[Lynch]

Duck you Sucker beaten by Predator.

[Relayer71]

Oh man, I'd forgotten about Fight Club!

[madkevin]

That's because we never talk about it.

[Relayer71]

Talk about what?

[ineffablebob]

I'm surprised there's only a couple of mentions above of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I've actually watched it a dozen times or so, but if you count all the times I've traded quotes of entire scenes with friends, I've got to be in the hundreds.

Beyond the Python, probably the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. I watched all the movies multiple times in the theater, and every year I sit down sometime during the winter holiday season and watch all the extended edition DVDs.

[Gordon_Bleu]

I watch JAWS around every July 4th, which really is the perfect time to watch it. This year I'll probably watch it in August (Blu-Ray release).

Others: GoodFellas, Top Secret!, Blue Velvet, Jackie Brown/Pulp Fiction.

Honorable mention: Pink Floyd The Wall. Watched dozens of times in college, not so much anymore.

PS How do you bold text in Tapatalk for iPhone?

[TheRock]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...about a dozen times.

Empire Strikes Back....the same.

[Thongsy]

For me it would be one of Wong Kar Wai's movies. Not sure which since I seen all of them over a dozen times at least, probably closer to 2 or 3 dozen times. The most watched have to be Fallen Angels, Happy Together or 2046 but the others aren't far behind. The only exception to this is My Blueberry Nights which I have only seen once. I should give it another try but I really just didn't like it.

[Ginger Yellow]

I've actually watched it a dozen times or so, but if you count all the times I've traded quotes of entire scenes with friends, I've got to be in the hundreds.


Well if that's our measure, then Lebowski definitely wins for me. I invented a way to turn every board game into a drinking game involving quoting the whole of The Big Lebowski.

[Joe O'Malley]

For me it's probably Oliver! Not because I am driven to watch it over and over again, but because the first time I saw it was at Christmas time, so now I watch it every Christmas. I'm 40-something, so that's a lot of viewings.

The fact it can now be had streaming without using an old, scratchy rented DVD is pure bonus.

[DarthMasta]

Lord of the Rings, the first and second one more than the last.

[Teiman]

Today RichVR has made a awesome post that is worth crossposting here, for great justice, just in case somebody has miss it.


Young and impressionable indeed. When I was 16 my friends and I first went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It was showing at the Waverly Theater in Greenwich Village at the time. That would be 1976-77. The crowd was huge. Sold out every night. Eventually me, and my friends Scott, Hal and Jay became regulars. The woman who was the manager of the theater, a short German lady, had no idea what to do. So we volunteered to work security if we could get in for free every night. And so we did.

I would guess that I saw (or was at) over 300 showings of the movie. It was there that the whole concept of bringing props started. At first there was a small group of gay bondage guys that would do a floor show before the movie. That was the first thing that I saw with my friends.

Later they would have people running up and down the aisles in costume during the show. And people would bring in water guns, toast, toilet paper etc.

Eventually there was actually a backlash. We arrived one night to see that the front of the theater had been broken up. Parts of the wall had been hit with hammers or baseball bats. The doors were shattered.

But we still worked line security. And we kept people safe. People who arrived in essentially underwear for a movie.

Yeah we got into confrontations with homophobic assholes. Yeah there were fist fights.

But ultimately the movie was about following your own path. And we did. Oh yeah, we did.

So if any movie changed my life, that was it.

[TranquilityBase]

Jaws for me. I was 11 when it came out and my mom worked at the local theater that summer, so free screenings for me! Probably saw it 25-30 times there, and another 12-15 on HBO and home video.

Distant runners up would be Aliens, Outlaw Josey Wales, The Thing, Terminator 2, and The Big Lebowski.

[scharmers]

Caddyshack. It, along with the 4 other movies, was on the Movie Channel when I was kid. One summer I watched it somewhere between 21-26 times.

Fight Club. I watched this movie damn near once a week for like a year.

Old high school buddy of mine spent a year or so watching Conan the Barbarian every day when he lifted weights :)

[corsair]

That's because we never talk about it.

Because that is the first rule.

[corsair]

Das Boot It's such a different war movie than almost any other war movie out there. In fact, much of it isn't really a war movie. Real humans overcoming impossible odds but being ultimately doomed... The mini series is highly recommend over the director's cut.


But....the mini-series isn't a movie and is therefore given das boot to the head.


Excalibur I'm a huge fan of the "knighthood ideal". This movie has so many great and touching scenes, some which move me to tears, every time (for example: When Arthur visits Guenevere in the cloister for the last time). The Wagner score is perfect for this movie.

I asked my son if he recognized who was Gawaine - and he peered for a minute and finally said, "Shindler!?!"


Ivanhoe (the one with Robert Taylor) Watched this as a kid so many times I have lost count. I just love righteous knights kicking ass and this has plenty of it. For additional badassery: Ivanhoe appearing as black knight at the joust and challenging all Norman knights.

Loved it when I was a kid and always watched it when it was on - still do. But a bit more for the young Elizabeth Taylor than that other Taylor (see him in the awful Knights of the Round Table to complete the circle).

[RichVR]

Das Boot was a series? Bah.

[Universal Leader]

No, he doesn't mean they made a TV series out of Das Boot. He means the movie Das Boot was a cut down version of the original miniseries.
