What movie did you rewatch most often?

For me, it’s either the Matrix or Pulp Fiction. I have seen both a lot of times but certainly not more often than say a dozen times.

In the theater? Boogie Nights.
My friend and I didn't know a goddamn thing about Paul Thomas Anderson when we went to the premiere. All we knew was that Heather Graham got naked in this movie about porn stars. We'd both had massive crushes on Heather ever since License to Drive... A crush which was only strengthened by her appearance in Swingers.
It turned out that the great nudity was only a bonus to what ended up being an amazing film with brilliant performances from everyone... INCLUDING Marky Mark. My friend and I ended up going to see Boogie Nights on the big screen close to 20 times. It helped that I had just gotten a job as an usher at a theater when the movie got it's second run, so we could see it for free. It also became a point of local pride since PTA was North East Ohio television royalty, and my friend and I wanted to follow in his footsteps
- For me, it was, sadly, Final Fantasy Spirits Within.
  I don't like the movie, but when it was in theaters every one of my friends wanted to see it, and schedules didn't line up. Buddy is in town for 3 days "hey let's see a movie!" Every time it ended up being that damn movie.
  I ended up seeing it in the theaters 10 times.
  
  That's actually a great movie, and it's probably one of my most watched DVDs.
  It's some of the best early mo-cap cgi in cinema history. Photorealistic without diving into the uncanny valley.
  And storyline is very engaging. It hits poignant notes about pacifism, environmentalism and reincarnation without coming off as preachy or condescending.
- The lady that was having sex with everyone at the party was the oddest thing. That was totally not a healthy relationship.
  
  That was the point.
