  Most of my favourite films I've watched at least 20 odd times, some a bit more.

  Gosh, I've really lost count of how many times I've watched my favourite films. But I don't think it reaches the 100s for any of them.

  Me and a mate watched Life of Brian and The Holy Grail nearly every day one summer holidays back in the early 80's. Knew them off by heart. I think people thought we were deranged as we quoted the knights of Ni. "we want… a shrubbery":rolleyes:

  I must have seen 'Singin' In The Rain' at least 50 times. I can pretty much recite the whole film along with the actors.

  When I was younger my favourite film was Color Purple (still is) and watched every Sunday for about 3 years! watched it a few times as I've gotten older as well, so I would say I've watched it over 200 times and know it word for word

  My favourite film is Grease and has been since I was 3.
  
  I tend to find that I need my 'Grease Fix' at least fortnightly / weekly.
  
  Over the years I have probably watched it over 500 times - I know it word for word and never get bored of it!

  the funny thing is - even though you have the film on Blu/DVD - it comes on TV, and you probably watch it again!
  
  the shared experience with people you never meet!

  I kinda think theres 2 answers to this -
  
  how many times in the cinema?
  
  how many times on tv ?
  
  I reckon I saw Star Wars at least 10 times in the cinema , I saw it 3 times on the first day !
  
  on tv its probably Vanishing Point or Matrix Reloaded .

  Wouldn't say it was my favourite film. But I have seen Robocop easily more than 200 times. Saw it for the first time in 1987 and loved it. How could an 8 year old boy not love it? Got my parents to get it from the video shop every week for the next 6-12 months before they bought it for me. Watched it all the time.
  Got the directors cut on DVD about 6-7 years ago to rekindle my addiction. Still watch it at least twice a year.

  Must have seen Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz quite a bit over the years. I've definitely seen How To Train Your Dragon and Easy A around 10/15 times.

  I genuinely have no idea how many times I have seen Barefoot in the Park or The Odd Couple (don't make me choose between them!). They are like comfy slippers now.

  There are other films I admire more, but they are necessarily more challenging and so don't stand to be re-watched too many times.

  I think the three films I have watched the most times over the past 50 years have been
  
  Ben-Hur; (I first saw it in 1958, and always watched it on BBC when it was usually transmitted at Christmas, or Easter. Once I bought it on VHS Video and later, DVD, I probably watched it about four times a year. Looks fabulous on Blu-Ray.)
  
  The Quatermass Experiment, (One of my favourite Hammer movies, must have watched this about 60 times.)
  
  and the excellent Rank version of the sinking of the Titanic,
  
  A Night To Remember. (Possibly watched this more times than any other movie, at least 70 times so far, and still counting.)
