my favourite from Great Race is where - rough paraphrasing - Fate's sidekick Max nobbles the other cars and they are giggling like schoolboys as each car comes to grief in front of them.
before the payoff -
Whats next?
car five, engine falls out.
Giggling.
Fate stops giggling!
Max... we're number five
followed by loud bang as their engine falls out!!

quality comedy.

here it is, although dubbed

I love The Great Race, & saw it a few times when it opened. The Warner Archive Blu-ray looks stunning & is multi-region.

Interesting thread!

Tons I used to watch quite often, now reduced to at least once a year, but my winner is....

Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD.

I used to keep a chart of dates watched in the various VHS & laserdisc releases I have, but
gave up in the 150's (viewings). Been at it with that one since 1985 across every format - even managed, thankfully, one theatrical 'revival' viewing a few years back.

Probably a James Bond movie- Thunderball or a Roger Moore entry. I've seen them all multiple times, but I have a soft spot for LALD and Moonraker.

For me it's IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD MAD WORLD. I saw it seven times during an early 1970s 35mm reissue, and multiple times on video since then. And a few years ago, I finally got to see it in 70mm.

Runners up: INHERIT THE WIND, 12 ANGRY MEN, and IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT (there's something about United Artists releases . . . ).

Either Back To The Future or Beauty And The Beast.

Yeah, I have seen Disney Beauty and the Beast a lot as well, because it is the most perfect piece of animated escapist joy. I have also seen Dick Tracy a lot, because it is really awesome.

I can remember every cinema I saw them in


The vast majority of cinemas I went to in the mid to late 70s (my peak cinema-attending years) no longer exist. frown


Yeah, they've all gone, the sixties for me: Odeon, Westbourne Grove (my all time favourite), The Palace, Kensal Rise (saw all those great old serials at Saturday Morning Pictures there), The Royalty, Ladbroke Grove. All magic memories for me. In the years to come, will people feel the same way about a multiplex?


For me it was the cinemas in Newcastle, where I lived from the age of 11 to 29. Prime cinema-attending ages! The Odeons on Pilgrim Street and in The Haymarket, both gone. The ABC Haymarket and the two-screen ABC (at one time The Essoldo), both gone, the line of three abreast on the West Road - The Pavilion, The Stoll and The Westgate/Gaumont - all gone.

I practically had my own seat at the ABC Haymarket - a particular one that I felt was the best in the house, and if someone else was in it I'd spend more time glaring at them than watching the film.

I'm sure that today's kids will get nostalgic about the Vues and UCIs, once they start knocking them down because it no longer pays to distribute films in that way.

Village of the Damned
The Birds
The Sound of Music

All three in excess of 100 times. Beyond that, I don't know an exact amount.
