I have watched Titanic 5 times and do have a copy of that.I love watching great hit movies again and again as i just love doing that.Instead of watching silly or dull movies, i always prefer to spend time seeing some great movies like titanic which still remains evergreen in my heart.How many of you like to watch a good movie more than once here? do you also have a hobby of collecting copies of good movies you like? there are also some people who have watched this Titanic more than 25 times !

I have been meaning to watch titanic again it has been so long scene I have seen it. But yes I do like to watch good movies many times and I also like to collect them. I am working on the Disney classics for my future children. I also like to collect other good movies that I enjoy watching.

Titanic is simply superb movie as we feel like a part of that gigantic ship isn't ti? the real fun will only be when you watch it in big screen and not in tv screens as special effects will be felt good only in big screens.I did watch this movie 5 times and also have a copy of this movie with me now.Its good to know that you also have liking towards collecting good movies that you like

Shravandone- ya I know how you feel my parents didnt save me much things thats why I am thinking of it early so I will be more prepared. Alienstar- I acctualy say titanic in theater when it came out, I was just a kid but I thought it was amazing, lol and it still is a great movie. I own it on VHS but not on DVD yet so sadly I haven't seen it in awail due to not having a tape player anymore :(

My favorite movie is The Final Countdown, and I've probably seen it 6 or 8 times. Another favorite is The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming, and I've seen that quite a few times too

when i really love a movie, i watch it over and over again. i've seen titanic probably more than 5 times. although, it's not really one of my favorite movies. when the movies that i love are on the movie channels, i still watch them even though i have seen them a couple of times already. the movie i've seen the most numerous time would probably have to be a walk to remember. i must have seen it more than 15 times already.

a walk to remember is fantastic movie and anyone will love it for sure, but i have watched it only once and that also quite a long time back.If you watch any movie more than 15 times means it has to be a great movie isn't ti? or else w will you watch any movie that number of times?

I am just like you are! Well in my case, I watched the Korean movie My Sassy Girl like 7-8 times already. I really love watching it and even if I watched it for many times, I still laugh at the good parts and get teary-eyed with the romantic parts. Haha! I am not Korean and I don't even speak Korean so I watch with subtitles. But because I watched it over and over, I have already memorize the lines so I sometimes watch without subtitles but still able to understand what they're saying. Hahaha. Good day :)

Do you also like watching movies of foreign languages? what would you understand watching an unknown language movies? in my case, i have watched some of the other language movies from our own country and just by seeing the actors role we could follow their action and i feel god directors also look into these aspects

Yes, there are many movies I have watched so many times I can't even say how often I've watched them. Movies that have personal meaning for me are to be collected and savored regularly. My top 5: Equilibrium, The Fifth Element, Houseguest, Little Nicky, Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knights. I was also a huge fan of Rocky Horror Picture Show in the day. I saw it so many times at the midnight movie that I lost count!

Do you like watching scary movies at midnight ! not many people will do this for sure as they say they cannot sleep properly and maybe the movie scenes or scary characters in that movie might come in their dreams.If you are living alone, then it might be still scary to watch it in night time isn't ti? don't you feel this is true? or do you still feel that is okay with you

Like everyone else, I have certain things that scare the crap out of me. If any of it is in a movie, I can't watch it without nightmares no matter what time of the day I watch it. Any movie/show with torture causes flasbacks for me, so I avoid them. Zombie movies can scare me too, depending on what type of movie it is. Zombieland is an awesome "B" movie that doesn't scare me at all. 28 Days Later & sequel gave me nightmares. I admit that I did watch it at night. I can watch most any other type of scary movie at night without any problem. I've found that watching movies alone at night does feel scarier at times. What about you?
9 Jul 10
yes I love collecting movies.But the movies I keep on going back are: 1. Titanic - I cant remember how many times but in the theater i have watch 5 times 2. Pretty woman 5x 3 Ice castle way back 12x 4. Face-Off I cant remember anymore how many 5. best friend's wedding 6. Nothing hill 7. music and lyrics and etc.

In the above list, i haven't even heard of "Nothing hill".Even the name is weird! what kind of movie is it?is it a new one or old one? have you watched this movie also more number of times? many people have collections of great movies these days isn't it? as they also get to see it whenever they are free isn't it?
12 Jul 10
the stars here are Julia Roberts and Huge grant this is beautiful. it is the story of a famous actress and she cant do whatever she wanted for wherever or whenever she goes the paparazzi or media is always following her and then she escapes from his manager and she went to new york and disguise herself but the thing is everybody knows her except to the man she first met and encountered at the bookstore where the man owns... the story goes like...watch it! its wonderful.Nothing hill is the place they interact.

Hi alienstar, though I like watching movie yet I don't like watching any of them twice or more. I have watched countless of good Chinese as well as English movies whereas there isn't any which I have watched it the second time, no matter how attractive the movie is! I watch movie just for amusement I prefer to watch another brand new movie more than to consume time watching the same actors and actresses performing in the same story Unlike one of my old colleagues. It's really amazing when she told me she had watched Titanic for mare than seven times. Ouch, there are even people watching the same movie for 25 times! It's really awesome to know that how crazy the huge freaks of Titanic are Happy posting

Without watching any of the great movies like Titanic more than once, you will not know also how it would feel.So, watch any of those great movies again and then see how you feel about watching it f rot he second time and then comment here and that would be better i guess as there are many people who do watch good movies atleast fort e second time here for sure

Oh yes, absolutely. I enjoy good comedies and action flicks. With comedy movies, sometimes I spend so much time laughing that I miss the next line. So when I see the movie again I can catch what I've missed. Then with action movies, there can be so much going on that I have to see it a couple of times to get the whole picture. I never get tired of a good movie so I do like to keep a library of good films.

Comedies will make us relax a lot isn't it? those movies have to be watched along with friends as we also get to laugh together instead of laughing alone.As in other cases, we can watch movies alone also if it is good to watch.Do you usually like the company of your friends to watch the movies with you or like to watch it alone?
• United States
12 Jul 10
Oh, how right you are about those comedies. Although I do a pretty good job of laughing myself, I do prefer the company of one friend when it comes to movie viewing, especially the comedies. It's true that laughter is contagious. I'm not too crazy about the group setting anymore. It just gets too busy. If I'm with a group, it's usually for a picnic or a cookout. Movie viewing is for me alone or my boyfriend and me.

I love watching classic and romance movies and I had the chance to have my own personal collection of video tapes when I had a video rental shop way back in 1990s. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to preserve them as well as the video player. :-) Most of my favorite movies, I've seen five times or even more. My favorites include Sound of Music, An Affair to Remember, Somewhere in Time, Pretty Woman, Ghost, Titanic and a lot more.

When you are young,watching romantic movies does make you excited isn't it? i had bunked the class once to go to a a movie with my girl friend and it was such a fun as my age was such and i still remember that day which is evergreen in my heart.In your list of movies above, i have not seen "An Affair to Remember" but heard that it is a very nice movie and so got to see it once
• Philippines

Hello alienstar, "An Affair to Remember" is a very nice movie from 1957, which stars Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Actually, it is said to be a remake of a 1939 movie entitled "Love Affair" which I never had a chance to see. Then in 1990s, another "Love Affair" film was released with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening in the lead. Another favorite of mine, "Sleepless in Seattle" starring Tom hanks and Meg Ryan is a movie inspired by the 1957 release. Thanks for your reply.

totally..i mean i watch good movies as many times till i get completely bored of it.i have always been watching movies like troy,titanic,god father all bond movies and some movies of my mother tongue too... good movies are made by great story, melodious music, and sound technical elements involved.seeing them again and again helps me explore these technicalities.

You have really put some lovely movie names here which are worth watching more than once for sure.Do you still get time to watch these movies more times or have you reduced in time? many of them who are movie lovers have reduced watching movie in time.But there are also few who have increased it in time.I have reduced watching movies now as i don't watch number of movies like before

like I'm not a movie freak who keeps watching every random movies. i ask for opinions from friends and see only best of ones made. and regarding time for watching again, can't help bro. day by day we get busier and watching the whole movie at once is something improbable.any how as I said my next watch for a movie will be for analysing n dissecting the movie. so even if I get to see only for a couple of minutes, I will be done with. and yeah weekends will be like dedicated to movies and theatre.

First, I don't let anyone tell me what's a good movie. That's for me to decide after viewing one that piques my interest. If I like it, it becomes a part of my collection. There is nothing wrong watching a movie you like more than once, if YOU think its a good movie. I have a few movies that I have watched over 100 times. If you enjoy it, go for it!

Watching movies in free time is really great fun and moreover when there are friends along with us while watching an action movie or even an comedy movie it wil be great fun isn't it? to watch romantic movie, we have to go to theater with a girl friend to enjoy the movie.But i thought watching 25 times was great and you are saying here 100 times.....i really can;t believe this figure !

Believe or no, but I have watched many movies in my life and almost each two times. I like to watch movies where are great moments all movie length. The best of type movies is comedies and horror movies. I do not like Titanic so much, but I have watched Hard nut, European trip, Spy kids. I have watched Matrix, Home alone, Scary movie more than 12 times. I have a special collection of movies. Have a nice day!

Oh ! have you made a habit of watching every movie you see more than once or is it only those good movies which are worth watching it more times? the movies you have listed here are all great movies anyone will like for sure.Movies like home alone are also enjoyed by kids as it has got everything in it-scary things, action, comedy etc.I also loved watching it and have watched first part twice

I do not want to call it for habit. Usually I watch only good movies more than twice times, but If there is nothing good to watch on TV I usually watch other movies maybe not so good, but... He he I and my family every year watch all Home alone movies. We usually watch one movie per advent I hope you know what is advent. Yes this movies would enjoy all people, because majority of them are funny.

Watching horror movies are real fun, but soemtimes watching those really scary movies at night time does make us scared isn't ti? when i was a small boy, i used to get scared watching scary movies and even if i had watched such movie sin the day time alos i was getting scary dreams and i was awake all night

I am notorious for watching good movies more than once. I've seen "Aliens" at least 15 times, "Terminator" at least 10 times and various others. I think the attraction of the movie is a catch phrase we love to hear the characters say, scenes that always catch our attention and of course you can't beat watching that movie with friends and seeing their reactions for the first time. There are other movies on my list that will become repeats or already are repeats: "The Last Airbender", "Predators", any of the "Madea movies", "Serenity", "One Night With The King".

Terminator is a good movie and i have also watched it twice, but not 15 times as you..it is too much as my record stands in Titanic which i have watched around 5 times till now.Arnolds muscles are a real treat in watching the movie Terminator isn't it? moreover as yous aid watching movies with friends is lot of fun for sure as we can enjoy a lot by shouting, laughing, commenting and having lot of fun together

There are several movies that I have watched several times and some I do have a copy of. If I see certain movies on the television, I will watch them again.......Grease, Dirty Dancing, The Sound of Music, Sister Act, Ghost, Road House, Pretty Woman, to name just a few. And there are some older ones that I love watching.....Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, My Fair Lady, The King and I.......most musicals. Have never seen a movie more than 25 times!! and probably never will. I like Titanic, but haven't watched it again, but I do OWN it!!

Try watching Titanic again and i will bet that you will love it even for the second time for sure.Since you haven't watched it for the second time, you won't know the real fun in it and cannot even comment on watching it for the second time for sure.My fair lady is also a good movie and i have watched only half of this movie

Yes, I watched a movie all over again if I like it, not only once but several times. I watched Titanic 10 times, Twister 3 times and Twilight 5 times. Other movies I kept on repeating on DVD are The Shawshank Redemption, Lord of the Rings series and Forbidden Kingdom.

I love to watch certain movies again and again. My daughter aged 7 loves two soft romantic movies, which are very decent and with cute pair of leading actors. one in our mother tongue Tamil ( Something Something -- translated the tamil title) and another in Hindi (Jab we met -- when we met). I have not counted the number of times she has watched these 2 movies. and I too sit with her and watch. In India many would have watched these movies atleast 50 times...Maine Pyar Kiya, DDLJ, Sholey, Chupke Chupke... I have watched Titanic, independence day and 10 commandments atleast thrice.

I didn't get a chance to watch 10 commandments till now even after knowing that is a great movie and i have to agree to that.Jab we met is for teenage students and its funny kind of good movie as both of the main characters were too good in it.I have watched most of the hit movies in big screens for the first time and then later in tv screens

i love watching movies. though movies that have a great story and are long with an interesting plot are worth watching numerous times again and again. the godfather for instance is a classic. it is worth collecting the three movies that belong to the series. the story continues which keeps people wanting to watch more and more of the same story.
@alienstar (5142)
• India
12 Jul 10
movies with great story will touch our heart isn't it? i also look into story of most of the movies and then the actors in it as some of the actors around are very talented and they make it very natural in movies and i love that part of them as we don't feel anything artificial here isn't it?

I see nothing wrong in watching movies over and over. I watched Romeo and Juliet (Leo and Claire) and Can't Hardly wait many times during my high school days. Now that I am an adult, I always watch my favorite scenes on Adventureland and 500 Days of Summer. I enjoy each lines from the characters and each scenes as if it was my first time watching it.

Romeo and Juliet is very famous movie and it is also here in story books and even growing kids will know this story i guess as these days children will learn faster than those past days isn't it? watching adventure movies is also my kind but only when i am in a mood to watch such movies as soemtimes i also feel like watching only comedy or romantic and it also depends on my mood

i will watch a movie many times if it's really good. For example, like the Titanic u said, i have watched it more than 10 times in few years already, and it's still a very touching movie to me.

Titanic is a great movie and in my case it tops the list and is till remember the day i went to the theater to watch this movie in big screen and at the end i was in tears as iw as watching it in big screen, i was also feeling like a part of that gigantic ship.One really feels sad on that ship isn't it? very touching movie for sure and all those characters are also too good.
