Impromptu
Oy yes! I've seen this one many times too.
Heathers
I bought the sooperspecialanniversary edition because I remember loving this movie to bits. Saw it several times in my younger days. But watching it now ended up being painful. Perhaps it was my mindset in the moment, but it seemed so much more mean-spirited than I remembered. Must try again.
Speaking of Christian Slater (weren't we?) and most watched movies.
Another that I must confess to seeing 6 times...in the theatre...in one week...is...wait for it...Untamed Heart.
I know, I know. But...but...I was going through a painful breakup and it was perfect for my mood.
And plus? Kyle Secor as a baddie, Rosie Perez ("I'd do 'im, but ooooh that hair") and the sweetest co-dependent ever, Marisa Tomei ("Magic records and a baboon heart. Now ya got me believin' it.") And, the extra added bonus of the best hockey-game kiss ever filmed.
I couldn't wait for the dvd. It's a guilty pleasure.
I feel so clean for having made a clean breast of my weakness.
You may mock, but don't be hatin'.
Harold and Maude/King of Hearts (they always played them together). Nobody even remembers King of Hearts anymore.
Hey now! I remember King of Hearts!!!
I haven't seen it in about 13 years, but I remember it!
It's been a bit since I rewatched anything but I'd say my most-rewatched with intent (Princess Bride might win for numbers, because there was a period where all my friends played it all the time at parties, so I saw it a LOT without voicing consent) are:
- Harold and Maude
- Rocky Horror (I was in the cast for the local theatre, so, you know)
- Sleep With Me
- Grosse Pointe Blank
- Star Wars, original trilogy
- Nothing Sacred
- Orlando
- Bring It On

I think it is rather more mean-spirited, or rather, I don't sympathize with JD or his romance with Veronica at all as an adult. I think of it more as a parable for Veronica becoming strong in a different way than JD or the Heathers. I mean, I see why Veronica Mars is named Veronica. Mostly, however, I watch it because I love the costumes.
I don't think I ever sympathised with JD. Loved the movie anyway, though.
Most watched list for me:
LotR (yeah, like that's a big surprise to y'all!)
Groundhog Day
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Aliens (my sister and I watched this tape weekly for about a year)
Star Wars trilogy (saw each of them three times apiece in their initial run, which wasn't surpassed until LotR)
Singin' in the Rain
Wizard of Oz
Adventures of Robin Hood (not to be missed in its annual showing on "Family Classics" on WGN)
Princess Bride
Grosse Pointe Blank
Oh, dude. I forgot about Cusack. Of course I watched Say Anything more often than My Brilliant Career.

I was a bit overly romantic (and into Christian Slater) as a teenager...
I watch it because I love the costumes.
My favorite part!
And I agree with the assessment of Veronica becoming strong in a different (although at the very end, a little too similar) way from JD. At the time, I was all about the 'he's just a misunderstood boy who is so so so pretty). Now, it's yeesh...you kids need a nap.
Bring It On
Totally forgot that one! I love that movie.
Alan Tudyk plus Tom and Zoe from Spooks.
And Rupert Graves! And Peter Dinklage!
And Ewan Bremner!
