Branagh's Henry V is something I love to pop into the DVD player when I start cleaning the apartment. I can just recite along with some of those speeches while dusting/doing dishes!
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Heh. I was just thinking I needed to add that to the shelf of comfort movies.
Also, Velvet Goldmine.
That's already on the shelf of comfort movies.

The movie I've most watched in the theater is probably Grease, which I saw 5 times when it first came out (between friends and babysitting and the fact that we only had one local theater). Although Willy Wonka played there every year for awhile so that might be a close second.
Movies I've watched most on TV/DVD:
Caddyshack, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Thin Man, Heathers, High Society, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz.
Growing up before VCRs, I really racked up viewings of things that showed ritually on TV every year.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
A discussion on another board reminded me of "The Music Man." I've watched that a lot. Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins -- movies my grandmother had on tape. And "Naughty Marietta."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think I have to retroactively include the Sound of Music and The Wizard of Oz to my list, as we watched them every year on the teevee.Although for a long time I had to go to bed before they were over. I went to bed when Dorothy arrived at the Emerald City, and when the Von Trapp children sang "SoLong, Farewell" and went to bed! I am not sure why this going to bed thing was so important!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The movie I've most watched in the theatre has to be Rocky Horror but Harold and Maude should have been in my original video top 5 and, now that I think about it, also Excalibur and (unfortunately) Bachelor Party. And possibly Clockwork Orange and Caligula.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
For movie most watched in the theater, I'd have to say it was the original Star Wars or possibly Grease.

I just saw Brick today and very much loved it. It's not for everyone but I highly recommend it to any fan of Film Noir especially the Hard Boiled Detective type.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Movies I will watch every single time they come on, anywhere:
The Breakfast Club, LotR(s), the Matrices, HHGttG, The Blues Brothers, Wayne's World (yes, I am that sort of person), Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Sound of Music, Funny Face (Audrey Hepburn as bookish idealist turned model! Fred Astaire as freewheeling photographer in love! Awesome dance scene that got turned into not awesome commercial!), The King & I, Monty Python's Holy Grail, probably Life of Brian, too, Instinct, The Art of War.
I recently rewatched Harold & Maude, and I didn't think much of it. I can see how I used to love it, and why, but I just don't think I'm in the same headspace anymore. I wonder if I would feel the same way about Dead Poets.
