Your most watched DVD/series

[Legion2213]

Sort of branching off from the "how many times have you watched dawn of the dead" thread.

What is your most watched non-GAR movie or series, what do you have an unhealthy obsession with? For me, it is probably my Red Dwarf collection, I can throw any one of the 8 series on my DVD player at anytime and enjoy it, I like the situation, the characters and the comedy (Arnold Rimmer is a f**king legend). I think it has just become a sort of habit. I also like to throw my "Alan Partridge" and my "Bottom" DVD's on at random times.

I've also battered the original Star Wars trilogy over the past few decades, they are probably the films that I have watched most in my life ("Zulu" is also a movie I have watched countless times).

So what's your poison?

Nice topic for a thread...but this could take a while.

I've always been been big on Rocky, but I was never huge on it until the last one came out and now I have no trouble having marathons every now and then. It's good because I can watch all, or 1,2, and 6, or 1-4 and 6 and completely ignore 5 altogether.

I usually replay the Simpsons seasons 5-10 as well as Big Love seasons 1 and 2.

As for individual movies, I generally watch LA Story with Steve Martin, the Naked Gun 1 and 2, Red Dawn, Porky's, and Pulp Fiction.

Zulu is a good choice though.

[Bub666]

I'd have to say the Evil Dead movies,or the Sleepaway Camp movies.

Yeah, those are the ones off the top of my head which have been given a good number of viewings.

I've currently just started season two of The X-Files, so I'm all about that right now, and plan to watch 3000 Miles (Gumball 3000 from 2006) for the third time soon.

[DjfunkmasterG]

For me ...

Fight Club, Dazed and Confused, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks, Lethal Weapon 1-4, The Return of the Living Dead, Family Guy (all Seasons), The Sopranos (all seasons) Big Love (All Seasons), Aliens and My entire HD-DVD collection. Especially Crank, which looks top nothc in HD.

[MikePizzoff]

I suppose it'd be the Back To The Future trilogy boxset...

Maybe Killer Klowns From Outer Space.

[Bub666]

Rocky 5 never happened. . .


:hurl:
That was a horrible movie.

[MoonSylver]

As far as series...hmmm...the original Star Wars trilogy a bunch. The Godzilla series as well. After that, it breaks down more into individual films.

In the 80's I was a big action junkie, so Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Commando,First Blood & Rambo: First Blood part II I saw a bunch.

Know I watched the Terminator a bunch as a lad. Ditto for Aliens.

I've watched The Thing & The Fog a lot. Escape From New York as well.

Look at any of the movies I've listed in the "Hidden Gems" thread & they would all make this list as well;) Really, so many to list. Ghostbusters, Monty Python & the Holy Grail, Excalibur, Spaceballs, History of the World part 1, Evil Dead 2, Friday the 13th series, Nightmare on Elm Street, I could go on & on...

the sliders series:elol:

[Skippy911sc]

I thought of this as a box set sort of notion. I think the one collection of movies that I could watch just about any time (my wife will grudgingly attest to) God Father Trilogy.

[Bub666]

the sliders series:elol:

I loved that show.

[Chic Freak]

Liam and I clubbed together to get the complete X-Files on DVD. It's like our baby. I'm the over-protective one. Liam used to pine for it when I had custody during term-time at uni. I used to drink a bottle or two of wine, chain-smoke and watch tons of episodes of that and Ab Fab most nights.

Non-zombie films I have watched a disgusting number of times:

Natural Born Killers (director's cut)
How to Marry a Millionaire
Some Like It Hot
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Trains, Planes and Automobiles
Jay & Silent Bob, Mallrats, Clerks, Dogma
Batman and Batman Returns
Beetlejuice
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
To Wong Fu With Love
Ringu
Twins of Evil
Requiem for a Dream
House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects
Fear and Loathing

[Mike70]

Twins of Evil

the hammer movie? damn, rock it out chic. that's a pretty good flick but then again all the hammer movies are great.

[MinionZombie]

You young lady have proper good taste.

Speaking of which - I'm currently on an absolute X-Files binge. Last week I blasted through Season One for the first time since 1994, and this week I'm into season two (just watched "Aubrey").

SUCH A BLOODY GOOD SHOW!!! :cool:

I'm gonna buy all the seasons, punctuated by the movie and The Lone Gunmen at the appropriate moments to really flesh it all out chronologically. After seeing the new movie t'other week I got all hot & bothered to see Mulder and Scully yomping around some damp Virginian woods in those kick ass black overcoat type things you always see FBI agents wearing. :D

God I love this show, it's proper good!

...

Also - others ones I've thought of:

Long Way Round (watched this one a bunch of times especially, including TWICE this year)
Race to Dakar
Long Way Down

Can't wait to see By Any Means (the new Charley Boorman adventure). I'd love to be a cameraman on one of those things. :)

[acealive1]

I loved that show.


i still do. just bought season 3:sneaky:

[Legion2213]

i still do. just bought season 3:sneaky:

I always enjoyed watching random episodes of Sliders on the Sci-Fi channel, I shall have to get the DVD's, I do like the concept of all those alternative realities.

As for the X-Files, amazing when it first hit the screens, got a bit lame towards the end and I lost interest, but Play.com are offering the complete box set for £80 at the moment, very tempting...

[kidgloves]

New BSG and.......

the greatest comedy series in my lifetime

FATHER TED :lol::lol::hyper::lol::lol:

[Yojimbo]

Six Feet Under <--- I work at a funeral home, so this I find funny.

The GodFather Trilogy <--- Though part 3 is much like Return of the Jedi for me and as hated as Return. But like Skip, I own this box set and 3 came with it. I have also seen the very clumsily edited version of the Godfather story that attempts to put things in chronological order, but that sucked nearly as much as 3.

The Shield <-- it's about my neighborhood!


Requiem for a Dream


Outstanding!

[Chic Freak]

the hammer movie? damn, rock it out chic. that's a pretty good flick but then again all the hammer movies are great.

Yep, the one with the implied-incestuous-lesbian twins who acted like porn "actresses" despite not having any sex scenes :) I love all the vampire-related Hammers, but haven't watched too many of the non-vampire-related ones yet.


Speaking of which - I'm currently on an absolute X-Files binge.

It's so more-ish. My two favourite moments that spring to mind are the spoof where Mulder screams (rewound that bit about 90 times) and the one where Scully gets a tattoo. I can't remember which episode it was or why she was getting a tattoo. But damn.

I still haven't seen the new film! Looks like I'm going to have to wait for it to come out on DVD at this rate.

According to Liam, Gillian Anderson is currently living in London with a traffic warden :stunned: Surely not?


the greatest comedy series in my lifetime

FATHER TED :lol::lol::hyper::lol::lol:

I was going to add Father Ted! Love that program.

[MinionZombie]

Chic - Gillian Anderson is currently married to a freelance journalist, some bloke called Julian. She used to be married (divorced in 97) to a bloke called Clyde who was a production designer/art assistant (on X-Files etc).

I saw a clip of her on a talk show and she was going on about how she loves Top Gear, which I thought was awesome. :D She is living in London though, she's mainly stationed over here I think.

The new X-Files movie is good, I dug it anyway. It's like an extended 'monster of the week' sort of show, although it's not a monster one, but it is a weird f*cked up sh*t going on one. It's a film made purely for the fans, it's great to see where they are now, and it got me all hot and bothered for the show again, so here I am, ploughing through the show.

Indeed - it IS very more-ish. I watched six episodes on my first day back into the show, and manage to get through at least two or three every day. Love that theme tune, I bought the single cassette tape back in the 90's when it came out. Must dig that out for a nostalgia trip. :)

[Chic Freak]

YAY!!! :hyper:

[MinionZombie]

YAY!!! :hyper:
Featuring Billy Connoly as a kidding fiddling ex-priest who's dying and has psychic visions.

When Mulder is revealed, and you see his ceiling plastered with flung-up yellow pencils, I shrieked with fanboy glee on the inside. :)

[PJoseph]

I can pop in BTTF trilogy any day of the week - they are just that good.

I recently acquired all three seasons of Supernatural - which I'm a big fan of - but I don't know when I would have the time to watch all 3 seasons! Maybe just Ghostfacers every now and then.

pJ

[ProfessorChaos]

as for stand-alone movies, i gotta say:
taxi driver
goodfellas
casino
the shining
batman begins
halloween & halloween 2
the big lebowski
....too many others to name, but there's a few solid ones.

as for tv shows, i'll never tire of south park or mr. show.

[Chic Freak]

goodfellas
casino

How did I forget these? Goodfellas is maybe the only film where I've ever skipped the DVD back to the beginning and watched it all the way through again the first time I saw it.

[DjfunkmasterG]

Goodfellas is just an ace when it comes to gangster movies. That DVD gets more play in my player than my scarface disc does.

[Andy]

I love watching TV series with the commentry on, alot of my mates dont but i always find it interesting..

Things like Red Dwarf, One Foot in the Grave, The Simpsons, Futurama, Blackadder, The League of Gentlemen, Peep Show, Alan Partridge, Father Ted.

[DjfunkmasterG]

I only like watching commentaries on certain movies. I couldn't sit through the Transformers commentary because Michael bay was all... I am cool at this, Oh I made this look cool.

Some commentairies I love to watch, others I can tell within minutes I am going to hate.
