Based on how obsessively I watched them as a kid, probably Aladdin and Silence of the Lambs. When I was 11 I could recite both films from memory.

This explains... a lot?

As a kid:
Bond films up to Brosnan.
Star Wars x 3
Back To The Futures
Ferris Bueller
Young Guns I and II
Beverley Hills Cop 1 + 2

Later:
The Big Lebowski
Baraka
Run Lola Run

Man, I saw Silence of the Lambs at the cinema when I was about 15 and it was probably the first time I'd smoked pot and gone out in public. Fucked me up big time.

I hardly ever re-watch movies anymore. One rainy Saturday afternoon & I happen to see something on cable? Sure. But re-watch something all the way through for the heck of it? No.

too busy picking up women at raves?

I'm with Biff. Even movies I really like I rarely come back to.

Without doubt far and away in first place would be The Sure Thing. I still to this day quote lines from this on a weekly basis.

Then it would be:

Spaceballs;
Revenge of the Nerds;
Back to the Future;
Better off Dead;
Animal House;
The Breakfast Club; and (my favourite movie of all time)
The Blues Brothers

I do recall the first time I ever came across a video tape. One of my dad's friends had a vcr and had a few movies on beta. I'm pretty sure I watched American Werewolf in London on a weekly basis throughout 1982.

Because of a Madonna fixation I had years ago there are a few scenes of "Body of Evidence" that I've seen probably more times than is healthy.

And because it seems to be on our TV every other week, and whenever I've got nought better to do I seem to find myself (happily enough) watching it yet again...

The Long Kiss Goodnight

Better Off Dead and Grosse Point Blank.

Yeah Nine play the hell outta their movies. I think we get 5 broadcasts per calendar year so we play twice on the main channel and 3 times on Go. There are movies I see parts of at work many, many times.

Seen these movies countless times, mostly in ridiculous repetition in my youth. The blatant motivation in watching some of these over and over as a youngin' was for the T&A.
