ONE MILLION YEARS B.C.(1967)

These ten are my go-to/comfort Horror films.
Frankenstein (1931)
Dracula(1931)

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)
House on Haunted Hill(1959)

I'm really gonna have to think on this for a while, lol.
All I know is, that I've probably seen THE WIZARD OF OZ and THE WAR OF THE WORLDS more than any other movies.
I believe I'm all the way to twice on these:
Horror of Dracula (1958)
Day of the Triffids (1962)
The Vampire Lovers (1970)
Alien (1979)
And perhaps some other Hammer flick.

Those are the only movies you like enough to watch a 2nd time!?
The first six monster movies I watched from beginning to end when I was kid definitely make the list.
A&C Meet Frankenstein
House of Wax
Jaws
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla
Destroy all Monsters
Taste the Blood of Dracula
rounding out the list:
Frankenstein
The Wolfman
Dracula
Masque of the Red Death
*I would say Gojira and Frankenstein meets the Wolfman just miss the list.
Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein
Destroy All Monsters
King Kong Escapes
House of Dark Shadows
Lon Chaney, A Thousand Faces documentary
Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell
The Mysterious Island (1929)
Creature From The Black Lagoon
Curse/Night of the Demon

I forgot Jaws.
Well, there are 4 fantasy films that I have seen via television MANY times over the years:
The Wizard of Oz
Miracle on 34th Street
It's a Wonderful Life
A Christmas Carol - (Pick your version)
Sci-Fi films that have had a LOT of repeats:
Day the Earth Stood Still
The Thing, From Another World
The Time Machine (George Pal)
IT Came from Outer Space
Them!
Tarantula
The War of the Worlds
I was lucky enough to see all of these on the big screen, too.
I don't repeat horrors nearly as much. I need more time between viewings to find them horrifying again.
These are the 10 I trimmed it down to.
KING KONG (1933)
FRANKENSTEIN (1931)
DRACULA (1931)
THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935)
FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN (1943)
ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948)
THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951)
THE KILLER SHREWS (1959)
JAWS (1975)
ALIEN (1979)
There are many more I've seen dozens of times and feel bad not including. TARANTULA! (1955), THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953), THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN (1957), CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954), etc, etc.
Remember an article in an old FM called something like 'The Man Who Saw King Kong 100 Time's? Well, I know I must be at least close to, if not over that achievement.
I have another list of ten.

Even if I did most movies are tough to watch more than once since they rarely re-appear in theatres.

So, you own no DVDs? Never rented one, or downloaded a movie?

Downloaded a movie? I would never do such a thing.
For the record, I don't own a DVD player (nor a video cassette deck). There'd be no point since I don't have a working TV. When my TV set went on the blink back in 1992, I decided to wait for them to perfect the technology before replacing it. I'm still waiting. That of course also enabled me to cut out the monthly payments for cable TV which had crept upward annoyingly over the years. I watched TV so sparingly, maybe two to three hours a week on average over the course of a year (and that was basically CFL games), that it really made no sense to continue incurring TV bills.
The movies I've been watching recently have been because the pandemic has curtailed most other outside activities (sadly including the CFL and most hockey). These movies have all been free ones off Youtube and in almost every case I'm watching them for the first time.
In summary, I've never been any kind of a movie buff or much of a TV watcher.

That's downloading.

I was just watching
Lonesome Dove that way.
You can also get most of Stephen King's TV mini-series that way - No ads.

I believe that the movies that stay on Youtube for more than a few days have been put on Youtube by their legitimate owners.

Call me crazy, but you may want to watch those classic Universal Monster movies for a second time. They're quite good. :o
Actually the only ones I've seen even once are those very few I've "reviewed" in the past year in the "Last Monster/Horror/Sci-Fi Movie/Show You Watched" thread.
