Wizard of Oz sounds like it because CBS had it on tv once a year on a Sunday night for decades when there were only 3 network channels. Then Star Wars five times.
Star wars. Taped it off the t.v in the early 80's on our brand new video and then watched it religiously every day when i came home from school. 'Goodfellas' and 'Scarface' come close.
Gator-- Agreed, bc of annual airings that I never missed as a kid, plus many viewing as adult, Wizard of Oz probably wins out at 50+. This is Spinal Tap and Elf(Christmas marathons!) probably come in not far below that.
Wizard of Oz comes in first because I've been watching it annually for as long as I can remember. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is second because it has been viewed in our house every December since it was released to video. Thirty years plus or minus.
Wizard of Oz because of the reason sandybrook stated, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, Little Mermaid, Home Alone, Christmas Story, It's a Wonderful Life, Little Women...
The Godfather, part one and two, a hundred times easy, every time it comes on cable. They play it all the time, because people will always watch it again.
@J Thanks for naming such a lovely little film, Local Hero. The score alone is worth 20 views! Apocalypse Now Redux ~50 times. The Deer Hunter ~25. Spotlight ~25. I love watching movies over and over again. Always see or hear something new... each and every time.
other than Disney classics when I was a wee one, (Aladdin, Little Mermaid, and the always bomb ass Sword in the Stone) I would have to honestly say probably something like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Seen it at least once a season for most of my 38yrs. :)
