The Schindler's List topic inspired me to start this one.
Not many for me.....
Reservoir Dogs (3 times, first on my own, then twice with friends. I urged them to go and see it)
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (Once each in 1977 and 1997)
Schindler's List (Twice. On my own, then with friends)
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Twice)
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Twice)
Sin City (Twice, on successive nights)
The Artist (Twice)
I can't see it happening again, though.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One ~ Three Times.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two ~ Twice.
the last one was Avengers , before that .... Matrix Reloaded and Return of the King
Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me (3 times)
Jingle All The Way (twice)
The Indian In The Cupboard (twice)
There wasn't much to do in our area in the mid-late 90's (and still isn't really) so going to the cinema to see the same film again was common with my group of friends, and with a 4 screen cinema we were spoiled for choice!
The Usual Suspects
Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves (dont ask)
LA Confidential (3 times) - Once the first week of its release and twice in the second week. I think it was just to appreciate that a good film can be made in the Hollywood system, and that is why I went to it more than once.
Return of the Jedi (2 times) - Once in 1983 and the CGIed re-release in1997.
Empire Strikes Back (2 times) - Once in 1983(on a repeat theatrical run) and the CGIed version in 1997.
Inception (2 times) - Once the first week of its release and then a repeat viewing the following week. I think to appreciate the intricate storyline and also how that a film from the blockbuster sector can be intelligent as well.
I'd guess I've seen it 30+ times in total.
Final Destination 2
The Sixth Sense
Winner is Eyes Wide Shut though. 4 times - solo, then twice with fellow students, then once with rather weary gf (unimpressed).
Space Travelers - seven times.
Rabu Retaa (Love Letter) - thrice.
Battle Royale - four times.
Big Show! Hawaii ni Utaeba (Big Show! Let's Sing in Hawaii) - twice.
My older cousin had a massive crush on Takeshi Kaneshiro (Space Travelers) and Tarou Yamamoto (probably best known in the UK as Boy #5 a.k.a. Shogo Kawada in Battle Royale). She wouldn't go to cinema alone, so she dragged me along to all those screenings. The worst year of my teen life. I still can't stand Kaneshiro, Yamamoto and those films.

And most of them were just because someone else wanted to go and see them.
The most times I've seen a film in cinema are:
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe: 9 times
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian: 5 times
Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader: 13 times
Harry Potter number 8: 8 times (because Daniel Radcliffe was at his most gorgeous by then)
Harry Potter other films: perhaps 2 or 3 each
Stormbreaker (with Alex Pettyfer): 6 times
The Eagle (Jamie Bell): 3 times
Man on a Ledge (Jamie Bell): 3 times
Beastly (Alex Pettyfer): 3 times
I Am Number Nine (Alex Pettyfer): 2 times
Inception: 2 times
Aliens in the Attic (Austin Butler) 3 times
Chronicle: 2 times
Otheriwse, can only think of two that I've willingly paid to watch twice: Celine and Julie Go Boating, and American Graffiti. And I saw the original Star wars trilogy when they were first released, and then again when they were rereleased in the 90s.
Given that a film's run is mostly a matter of weeks, any repeat viewing would be far too close to the first viewing to be enjoyable. In exactly the same way that I'd never immediately re-read a book I've just finished. Frankly I'm quite surprised that so many people go to see the same film more than once over what is, presumably, quite a short period of time. What on earth do they get out of it? Especially children's films. Don't they pay attention the first time?:p
The only film I can recall seeing twice on its initial run was Casino Royale and that was only because I got a crap front row seat and had a terrible viewing angle the first time.
Home Alone 2, lost in New York (both twice).
I would never go to see a film twice now.
