Practical Magic. It might be tied with Nightmare Before Christmas.
It was comfortable for me to watch them both often when I scored a VCR in my room.
Airplane!
Surely you can't be serious.
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
Star Trek: First Contact or Insurrection
There are few of them for me, but maybe Warrior (2011) is the favourite go to movie for me. If I'm overwhelmed by anything, it helps me reset myself and put things in perspective and get me in the mindset to fight back and stay strong.
For me it's Casino. Easily my favorite movie.
I used to fall asleep watching Twister on VHS. Something about the substandard quality and tracking sound really sealed the deal when I needed to catch some Zzz's.
I watched it so many times that I wore out the tape.
Hateful Eight. The acting, pacing, dialogue all 10/10 IMO. It just feels cozy watching it.
As a kid, Tremors, Aliens, and Police Academy 4. Those were films we had on VHS (recorded from the TV). The first two were on the same 4h cassette, recorded in glorious long play mode and the write protection tab broken out for safety.
More than a dozen watches for each of those.
As an adult, there's a few had multiple watches. No idea what's the "most" but the ones that stick out are: Charlie's Angels - the mid 2000's one with Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Lu. Blade 2 The fast and the Furious The terminator Kill Bill
Both LOTR and Harry Potter, marathon once in a while.
The Last Dragon or Ghostbusters, probably. I still watch those both at least once a year. So probably 50+ times for both of those.
Freddy got fingered, to the point a friend and me could retell the whole movie word for word.
I love rewatching "monster" movies. Like The Mummy, Deep Blue Sea, and Lake Placid.
Drive Thru. It's a B rate slasher horror flick. Highly entertaining and always a recommendation.
As a kid I spent probably a week sitting under a table in my room, rewatching A New Hope on a portable dvd player over and over and over. I thought that I should watch it until I had every line memorized, and then move onto ESB (which I never did for obvious reasons)
So probably ANH, followed by any other SW movie, then Mad Max Fury Road and Sicario
Iβm not sure why but I will find myself rewatching Catch me if you can every couple of years on a whim. Something about it compels me
Anytime they pop up we watch Casino Royale, Groundhog Day, Family Stone. We were late picking friends up at the airport yesterday because we were sitting in a hotel watching Grease. I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but it's exhausting to watch so i sometimes skip it.
Groundhog Day, Wedding Crashers, Zombieland and then 2 odd Disney movies would be Luca and Coco

Back to the future.
I watch The Thing and The Mummy at least once a year.
