Personally, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I knew it was going to be quite the experience before I went for the first time‡ but it was so much fun I had to keep going back bringing friends each time.

It’s still a fun tradition to do though we haven’t done it since last year, we’re probably going to try and go again in a few weeks.

‡ I had seen it many times before going to see it in theaters for the first time.

    When I was a kid, Nightmare Before Christmas. Must’ve convinced my parents to take me to see it at least eight times. I’ve watched it at least once every year since then, and it stayed my favorite movie for most of my life, until Everything Everywhere All at Once finally usurped it almost 30 years later. Saw that in theaters four times.

    Oh, and Lord of the Rings. Saw all three in theaters at least three times each. And, for some reason, Superbad. Went to five showings of that.

      Ohhh I’m so jealous. That’s my favorite movie and unfortunately I missed it when it was playing in cinemas. Such a gem and the soundtrack is amazing

    The Fellowship of the Ring. Probably the other two movies as well but this one stands out in my mind.

    The first Pirates of the Caribbean as well. Back before they turned it into a franchise. Such a fun adventure movie.

      I have a huge soft spot for the second and third pirates films. I think looking at the first and thinking it could make a great trilogy is totally valid and although they’re definitely much more long winded than the first with less lovable characters, they’re good films and if I ever revisit the first, I generally revisit the second and third too.

      I watched the Dungeons and Dragons movie when it came out and really enjoyed it, but it definitely felt like I was watching a marvel movie, albeit a well written one, Pirates may be the last YA action adventure franchise that isn’t just the re-skinned marvel formula, which makes it far more watchable than 80% of the genre since.

      Also Pirates 3 is basically the creator of the horrible pressure CGI artists have suffered under for the past 15 years, so take that as you may.

    Original Star Wars as a kid. The whole summer. 13 times. Have probably watched it more times since on streaming.

    Nostalgia is a drug.
