What movie did you watch over and over again as a kid?

[reecejackox]

When I was a "kid", we didn't have movies to watch over and over except the holiday specials and things like the Sound of Music which were on every year. And we did watch them over and over.
For my kids, I remember my daughter re-watching Free Willy so many, many times. I don't really remember my son being that focused on any one movie.

Guess I am old, because we didn’t even have a VCR or Cable until I was in High School. Now my DD (11) has had several. Currently it is the movie Clue - We introduced it to her a few weeks ago, and she has now watched it 3 times. Some whe wn was younger include, Lion King, Little Mermaid, Tangled and Frozen. I think I still have large sections of dialog memorized, not to mention the music.

I was a kid before VCRs so nothing.
Sound of Music was on every year at Christmas so maybe that?

I don’t remember what movies I watched over and over but DD watched Bambi over and over and wore out the VHS tape. DGS is currently going through a Frosty the Snowman phase. He watches it at least once a day....every day!

When I was about 6th grade we got a copy of Princess Bride so that was the first one I could watch repeatedly.

DD21 was obsessed with Bugs Life when she was a toddler. But even then we didn't have a big collection of tapes to watch.

The Last Unicorn on VHS - thanks Blockbuster!

Same as others, no VCR until I was 20. However, I always watched The Wizard of Oz when it came on TV, and really looked forward to seeing it every year.

Same here, just able to look forward to the yearly showing of movies, mainly around the holidays throughout the year. Some of the movies I recall were King Kong, March of the Wooden Soldiers, Miracle on 34th Street, Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan and Sound of Music. I am sure I am forgetting some. Always found it odd that one of the local stations always chose to show King Kong and Mighty Joe Young on Thanksgiving!

I was a kid with a VCR and HBO. Our favorite movie was Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Dolly Parton . . Burt Reynolds . . singing and dancing.

 

[SamFaniam]

I grew up in the pre-VCR age also. So it was yearly showings of things like Wizard of Oz, Ten Commandments, Miracle on 34th St. I do remember that my parents had a Betamax that they got right around the time I went to college. So, my younger siblings may have had things that they watched often.

 

[Skywalker]

Grease! For sure. Star Wars.
Followed by The Warriors. Not at all similar lol.

 

[porschegrl]

The Warriors.

This was the first one that came to my mind. The Warriors, The Blues Brothers, and Purple Rain were among the first pirated movies we got on VHS, and we wore them out!

I'm an oldie, also. So it was pretty much whatever was shown on TV every year:

Wizard of Oz (one year us kids make tickets to the movie for everyone and set up a snack bar)
Miracle on 34th Street

We had a VCR and cable. I'm blanking on something I watched over and over. However, my cousin (who practically lived at my house when we were kids) watched Steel Magnolias over and over. I remember her watching it a ton. She knew it by heart.
