I am the Female Dracula

I wouldn't be surprised if all the votes went to 25+, but the most I've ever seen a movie is 6 times (House on Haunted Hill)

Honestly, like so many of us here...I can watch the same movies constantly.

Here are a few movies I can honestly say I have probably seen in their entiretly atleast 50 times.

JAWS
Dracula
Empire Strikes Back
Friday The 13th PT 7 (when it came out on VHS I think I watched him fight the girl everyday of summer vacation)
Predator
Caddyshack
Platoon
Spies Like Us
...I don't think I hit the 50 mark on Frankenstein and King Kong yet, but I gotta be close to 35 or so.

I voted 25+ -- as there are a whole bunch of movies I've seen so many times I've lost count.  Frankenstein,  Bride of Frankenstein, Dawn of the Dead (original), King Kong ('33), Adventures of Robin Hood, Phantom of the Paradise, Wizard of Oz, O Brother Where Art Thou, Raising Arizona, Local Hero -- I'm sure there are more....

 The original Frankenstein (my favorite movie) has been watched at least 90-100 times.  I think Karen wants it to become lost somehow.  ;D  She's also become sick of watching the original Planet of the Apes, watched around 50-60 times.  Out of almost 200+ dvd's, those two somehow mysteriously jump into the machine evey 2 to 3 months.  ::)

You know I use to keep track in my monster diary (a school spiral notebook I kept about all things monsters from the time I was eight until I was maybe 15) but after all these years I've lost count of how many times I've seen certain films.  The ones I really love I know I must have seen more than 25 times.  Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein was at 75 times when I was 15 (mostly due to my owning one of the first VHS copies of the film), with Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man and House of Frankenstein just behind it.  Lord only knows how many times I've watched them in the last 25 years with TV showings and DVD copies. 

I always seem to gravitate to the Universal classics more than any other films, which explains a lot.

Oh I totally forgot some Christmas ones...

Christmas Story, A Christmas Carol (Sim), It's A Wonderful Life and Christmas Vaca are all easily over the 50-60 mark.

Them
Forbidden Planet
Invasion of the Body Snatchers

20 Million Miles to Earth
The Bat
NOTLD

Public Enemy
San Quentin
Each Dawn I Die

Scrooge(1970)

The only sorta modern movie would be Dolls (1987). Love the concept of killer toys.

When I make a new purchase and really dig the movie I'll watch it maybe 3 or 4 times during the week. Then it usually gets shelved for at least a few months.

I couldn't even begin think how many times I have seen Creature from the Black Lagoon.  I'm sure I have 25+ movies I have seen 25 or more times.

A little off topic but I figured I'd share....

When I was about 10 or 11 the video store up the street from me finally got Empire Strikes Back. The 1st night I rented it I watched it till the end credits....hit rewind and watched it again...till the end credits. Next day...you get the idea.

When I recently got the Kong discs in the tin, I watched it from begining to end...next day started it right where they get to Skull Island and finished it from there.

If I dig a movie...I get ridiculous about it.

Before home video I would say it was The Wizard of Oz, because it was on every year. Number two was probably WOTW.  After home video . . I have no idea?
