I've seen A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum about 35 times since 1968; and Cat Ballou about 20 times. (Sadly, I haven't seen Cat Ballou since the 70's; they just don't re-air it now.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14141220.post-6406989392758359652008-10-18T15:24:00.000-07:002008-10-18T15:24:00.000-07:00@norlindaYes, I always knew you were a rewatcher.....@norlinda<BR/>Yes, I always knew you were a rewatcher...we have so much in common! And I agree with you, sometimes it's just certain scenes that will give you what you want -- another reason to love DVDs!<BR/><BR/>@alejna<BR/>Oh, I know your list. We have a surprising number of films in common (trashy and otherwise!). I probably won't come up with a list of my own, though. Mostly laziness, but I'd also be afraid that I'd miss some... :-)<BR/><BR/>I can certainly understand the rewatching of movies like Gosford Park -- each time you watch it, you probably catch something new! <BR/>Movies I've seen the most in recent years would include Tank Girl, Fifth Element, Amelie, Spirited Away, The Princess Bride (surprisingly, I don't seem to own that one anymore...must have lent it out) -- as you can see, I appreciate escapism. <BR/><BR/>The Long Kiss Goodnight was fun, but the piece that I carry with me on that is the "De da di de da...my keys are in my right pocket...de da di de da...the gun in the left" -- I hum that to myself every time I put my keys in my jacket pocket.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06633401326479781405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14141220.post-29239812985207760782008-10-18T12:24:00.000-07:002008-10-18T12:24:00.000-07:00Ah, I am unabashedly a rewatcher.

In fact, do you remember that <A HREF="http://collectingtokens.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/my-100-movies-the-second-50/" REL="nofollow">list</A> I posted of my favorite 100 movies? (2 lists of 50, really.) One of the criteria I had for that list was that I had to have seen the movies more than once. There are quite a few movies that I like quite a lot, but have yet to rewatch. (I'd still like to see a list from you, you know.)<BR/><BR/>What I rewatch tends to vary by mood. My most recent rewatch is "Peking Opera Blues," which I hadn't seen in about 10 years. Other recent ones have been "Cold Comfort Farm" and "Gosford Park," which are old standbys. (Perhaps I've been on a 20s-30s light-hearted costuma drama kick.)<BR/><BR/>The movie I've seen the most (more than 20 times) is probably still "the princess bride," though not so much in recent years. "The Long Kiss Goodnight,' "the Fugitive," "12 Monkeys," "The Professional" (Luc Besson!) and "Supercop" are up there, too.<BR/><BR/>(Sorry about any weird typing/punctuation.

You're talking to someone who has seen Return of the Jedi 21 times and counting.<BR/>I don't really rewatch the entire movie, at times I just rewatch certain scenes.Norlindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11817646688300088380noreply@blogger.com
