I gotta go with Primer because it pretty much is necessary to re-watch it multiple times to understand what is going on.
3 Idiots, a feel-good Indian movie.
All is well
Mononoke Home / Princess Mononoke
Chronicles of Riddick, King Arthur - Legend of the Sword, Pirates of the Caribbean series, LOTR series.
So there's several high caliber films I've seen a bunch, like Pulp Fiction, Memento, etc.. but I think the actual movie I've seen the most times is The Room.
For the uninitiated, The Room is the worst movie of all time. Tommy Wiseau wrote, produced, directed, and starred in this disasterpiece. It's so bad, they made a movie about the book about the making of The Room. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion for 90 minutes.
I've been responsible for many people's first viewings, which means I've seen it far, far more than I should. I almost got to meet Tommy and Greg (plays Tommy's best friend in film) at a screening but icy ass rain made the trek too dangerous.
I'd say it's a must see for anyone who enjoys film. Every other movie will feel better after comparing it to this flaming bag of garbage. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll say "wtf" at least 7 times.
You just convinced me to watch it, so either thank you or fuck you lmao I'll keep you posted
I have 2 answers.

There are many more, but I'm not gonna sit here and try to remember them all.
It's a Wonderful Life. Every year on Christmas, and every year I can relate with George just a little bit more. I've even seen a stage version of it love!
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.
Airplane!
Surely you can't be serious.
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
Grumpy Old Men:)
I love rewatching "monster" movies. Like The Mummy, Deep Blue Sea, and Lake Placid.
These are the movies on the top of my head I've watched more than 20 times.
- Batman: Dark knight
- Orange clockwork, Eyes wide shut, Dr. Strangelove
- Before sunrise and before sunset. Third one is kinda cringe.
- Shawshank Redemption
Both LOTR and Harry Potter, marathon once in a while.
Ice Station Zebra
Lord of The Rings. and I canβt count how many times it was. as a kid I had a weekly routine to watch at least one of the movies. oh dear how I love this trilogy
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
Probably A Goofy Movie. I had it on VHS and watched it over and over, the themes in it were just exactly what I needed to hear as a tween. It probably fell behind in the count for a while, but now I have Disney plus and rewatch it pretty regularly. And yes, I've seen the Atlanta episode, I had no idea, and it's hilarious.
My family watched this so many times! We named our cat Max. My adult children got Powerline t-shirts last Christmas.
Freddy got fingered, to the point a friend and me could retell the whole movie word for word.

Beerfest, back to the future 1+2, the big lebowski are some of my repeat picks.
