Mine Would Be Wayne's World, That Was One of The Very First Movies I Ever Seen. I Think I Watched It About 15-20 times. I Think It is One of The Greatest Movies of All Time. Still Funny, Evertime I Watch It, It Never Gets Old.
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Either 1931's "Dracula" or 1977's "Star Wars." "Jaws" and "The Wizard of Oz" are probably tied for #3. "March of the Wooden Soldiers" is a solid #4, though ... I think. Unless "Godzilla" is actually #4 and "March..." is #5.

oooooh, great topic!  I had to think back and start from the 60s, so I would say Frankenstein. I have watched it almost every year of my life, multiple times/year. It used to be on almost every weekend when I was a kid. And then VHS & dvd. It always seemed to be there for me, throughout the years.
slayer- My kids used to quote Wayne's World on an hourly basis- back in the 90s! It's a classic!  :)

Is it wrong that I keep waiting for someone to admit it's "Two Girls & a Cup"?
"That's either a very ugly woman or a very pretty monster." - Lou Costello

Probably a tie between Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein and Destroy All Monsters, my favorite monster rally's.

Not sure which one would be the "most" watched film, but contenders would be the original Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride of, Wolf Man, Strange Brew, Robin Hood with Errol Flynn and the Quiet Man with John Wayne.

Non-Monster:  BILLY JACK
Monster:  KING KONG, followed very closely by a tie between FRANKENSTEIN & THE WOLF MAN.

Mike - My wife & I watch THE QUIET MAN at least once a year.

Ilsa She-wolf of the SS, Faster Pussycat....Kill, Kill, The Birds, Last Man on Earth......so many! Too many to list.  ::)

Bell Book & Candle
Zulu

Aha a girl with taste I love Zulu! And before I get a lashing routing for the English they were all Welsh men, such a stirring film and a great theme. As for the most watched I don't count the horror ones, Where eagles dare, The Long ships, The Vikings and The 13th warrior do I see a theme here. Three against a thousand as Bob Hope would say.

Oh man, I forgot......does watching a full 24 hrs of A Christmas Story every Christmas count?  Lets see, that about 12 times every Christmas, plus about 20 other odd times I watch it during the holiday season.  LOL

This won't include any of my favorite Horror Movies  I've lost count of them.

On pre-vcrTV? 
Does being forced to sit in front of the TV every time The Wizard of OZ came on count?
That would be probably 12-13 times. (1957-69)
On a 16mm projector in a classroom. . . That would have been the Disney True Life Adventure movie Bear Country
At least once a year--Kindergarten through 6th grade (1960-66).

In the theater?  First Run?  Star Wars 3 times--back when it was a stand alone movie (1977)
In the theater?  Midnight Movies?  Rocky Horror Picture Show.  (Saw it first run 1975. Half the audience left before it was over) Lost count --Probably 25-30 times (1977-1985)
Then about once a year since then.


VHS, Beta, DVD at home?
All of the following I watch maybe twice a year.
Quiet Man
The Longest Day
Zulu
The Thin Man (and sequels)
Christmas Story
13th Warrior
The Vikings
Monty Python and The Holy Grail
Father Goose
Operation Petticoat
Its A Mad Mad Mad Mad World
The Great Race
African Queen
Key Largo
Knights Tale
Henry V
Hamlet
Much Ado About Nothing

Its one of my all time favorites.  Often when I'm in a happy mood with some spare time, I find myself singing Pass Me By.

True story:  I have a coworker who is famous for coming up with excuses to leave work (and/or not coming in at all) that are worthy of Baron Munchhausen himself.  A couple of weeks ago, she received a call from home and announced she had to leave, one of her kids had just been bitten by a snake, and he was being taken to the hospital by ambulance.  Now, there are several species of venomous snakes native to the region--mostly of the rattlesnake variety.  However,  this kid was riding his bicycle in an urban neighborhood where he was more likely to have been bitten by a pit bull or a skateboarder.
It was all I could do to keep from laughing at her because all I could think of was the snakebite scene in Father Goose.
BTW animal control, the police and the paramedics never found any snakes at the scene.   I never found out if they found a stick that looked like a snake. ::)
