Not many, but a few, usually for research purposes:
The Dark Crystal
Fight Club
Secret of NIMH
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Predator
Clerks
maybe The Matrix and Pulp Fiction

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

That one is not for research purposes. I just like it.

Difficult to say for sure, but probably:
The original Star Wars trilogy
There were some movies I loved as a kid, like Better Off Dead, Armed and Dangerous, Big, Big Trouble In Little China, Goonies, Karate Kid, Loaded Weapon and a few others. But not sure I’ve seen them that many times.
There are some movies that I as an adult watch every few years, like The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Still a dozen times is a lot.

Meaning the world of convenience store philosophy, or 90s indie commercial culture?
All of it.
