Personally, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I knew it was going to be quite the experience before I went for the first time‡ but it was so much fun I had to keep going back bringing friends each time.
It’s still a fun tradition to do though we haven’t done it since last year, we’re probably going to try and go again in a few weeks.
‡ I had seen it many times before going to see it in theaters for the first time.

The Fellowship of the Ring. Probably the other two movies as well but this one stands out in my mind.
The first Pirates of the Caribbean as well. Back before they turned it into a franchise. Such a fun adventure movie.

I have a huge soft spot for the second and third pirates films. I think looking at the first and thinking it could make a great trilogy is totally valid and although they’re definitely much more long winded than the first with less lovable characters, they’re good films and if I ever revisit the first, I generally revisit the second and third too.
I watched the Dungeons and Dragons movie when it came out and really enjoyed it, but it definitely felt like I was watching a marvel movie, albeit a well written one, Pirates may be the last YA action adventure franchise that isn’t just the re-skinned marvel formula, which makes it far more watchable than 80% of the genre since.
Also Pirates 3 is basically the creator of the horrible pressure CGI artists have suffered under for the past 15 years, so take that as you may.

While I enjoy the Pirates trilogy, I feel like they could just as easily have kept it a single movie. It was fine, the story was conclusive enough to satisfy and open ended enough to tickle the imagination.
Not everything has to be turned into a franchise or a ‘verse.
- Khrux ( @Khrux@ttrpg.network ) English2•1 year ago
I do agree, and generally I don’t want everything to be a franchise or a verse. However I feel that a trilogy although generally profit driven can expand a film in a nice way, such as the original star wars or Indiana Jones trilogies.

Bladerunner 2049. I saw it five or so times in IMAX.
- taaz ( @taaz@biglemmowski.win ) English4•1 year ago
At the time the release flew under my radar so I completely missed it in cinemas, if I could I would go at least twice.

Inglorious Basterds. Christopher Waltz is just so good in that role.
- DeltaTangoLima ( @DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com ) English2•1 year ago
I dunno why someone downvoted you for this one - Christoph Waltz is amazing in everything.

Dune is the only movie I willingly rewatched at the cinema. Looking forward to the second part.

matrix I, skipped classes and watch it more than ten times in cinema.
- Hossenfeffer ( @Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk ) English9•1 year ago
Star Wars.
Watched the matinee every day for a week when it first came to our local cinema.
- lorez ( @lorez@lemm.ee ) 9•1 year ago
The Matrix. I saw it at least four times in the theater.
- WeAreAllOne ( @WeAreAllOne@lemm.ee ) 9•1 year ago
Matrix. I think I’ve watched it over 30times
- Terevos ( @Terevos@lemm.ee ) 1•1 year ago
That best my top movie. Which is also Matrix, but I only saw it 3 times in the theater.
- WeAreAllOne ( @WeAreAllOne@lemm.ee ) 1•1 year ago
Cinema around 12 times (best friend was a Cinema manager back then), the rest at home. Occasionally I throw in the Blu-ray and watch it from time to time…
- fubarx ( @fubarx@lemmy.ml ) 6•1 year ago
Original Star Wars as a kid. The whole summer. 13 times. Have probably watched it more times since on streaming.
Nostalgia is a drug.
- 𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍 ( @sxan@midwest.social ) 1•1 year ago
Shit, you got 1 more time than I did!
Back when they didn’t kick you out of the theater between showings; it was the only thing I asked my mom for money for that summer, as I recall.
Do you also feel like Lucas’ recut is a blaspheme?
- fubarx ( @fubarx@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year ago
I just look away during the Jabba scenes and the Han/Greedo shootout.
- Knecht ( @Knecht@feddit.de ) 6•1 year ago
I went to see the original Avatar movie 3 times. First time I unknowingly watched it in 2D. Then I thought “this would be amazing in 3D”. Then I saw it in 3D and it was so fantastic that, a few weeks later, I watched in 3D again. No regerts.
- mild_deviation ( @mild_deviation@programming.dev ) 2•1 year ago
I wish 3D had stuck around long enough to get a 4k HDR 3D release of it. Ah well, maybe 3D movies will come back again in another 20 years with higher framerates and better displays.
- Knecht ( @Knecht@feddit.de ) 1•1 year ago
Ain’t gonna happen because there is no such thing as 4K 3D in Home Cinema terms, because unfortunately 4K UHD Blu-ray’s don’t even support 3D. It’s not in the spec. But yeah, I hope 3D will come back in a few years with much better specs.
- lazylion_ca ( @lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca ) 5•1 year ago
The first Spiderverse. Saw it with the girlfriend then again with a buddy. I maintain that these are the best movies ever made.
- Chahk ( @chahk@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year ago
No matter how much I enjoyed a movie, I never felt the need to go through a shitty movie going experience twice for it.
- enbee ( @enbee@links.hackliberty.org ) 4•1 year ago
I skipped school (and got away with it) to watch lotr:2towers 3 times in one day at the theater
- BumpingFuglies ( @BumpingFuglies@lemmy.zip ) English4•1 year ago
When I was a kid, Nightmare Before Christmas. Must’ve convinced my parents to take me to see it at least eight times. I’ve watched it at least once every year since then, and it stayed my favorite movie for most of my life, until Everything Everywhere All at Once finally usurped it almost 30 years later. Saw that in theaters four times.
Oh, and Lord of the Rings. Saw all three in theaters at least three times each. And, for some reason, Superbad. Went to five showings of that.
- DAMunzy ( @DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 4•1 year ago
I saw 300 twice. It was such a fun movie at the time.
