"The Lost Boys" (1987) and "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971).
If I were to think of what movies I watched literally, 20 times (at least) from beginning to end (wow, big number); well, the 2 movies that I can think of off the top of my head right now are probably not very impressive for some
. The 2 movies are: "The Lost Boys" (1987) and "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971). I think both are genius. Regarding "This Lost Boys" (lol), I was in the 6th or 7th grade, I did keep count every single time I watched it, and I ended up having all the dialogue memorized but not on purpose. Same thing with "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," except I started watching this movie when I was about 4 or 5 years old.
There are a lot of other movies that I watched from beginning to end 10 times, 15 times, maybe even 18 times, but not quite sure if I literally watched them 20 times. These include movies either directed, written, or produced by John Hughes: Sixteen Candles (1984); The Breakfast Club (1985); Weird Science (1985); Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986); Pretty in Pink (1986); and Some Kind of Wonderful (1987).
And then there's the category of movies which land under "film adaptation of musicals": I know I've watched Grease (1978) and Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) well over 15 times, (but not sure if 20).
There are a lot of great, awesome movies, movies that in my opinion are even more greater and even more awesome than the ones listed above, but maybe I couldn't bare to watch them from beginning to end more than 2 times or more 5 times, because the drama's just too heavy to take.
If I ever watched a movie multiple times for case study purposes, I probably watched these 5 times to 10 times but prolly not 20 (because I didn't own a VHS or DVD version). These movies include "Grave of the Fireflies" (1988; aka "Hotaru no haka"; animation), Rashomon (1950), Jui kuen (1978), Secret of Shaolin Poles (1977), Butterfly & Sword (1993) and other Asian films.
I'd watch all of these movies again from beginning to end.
