Many people, and I am not saying you, say this is in their top list, but it is because it is the “in” thing to do. I first watched this movie in probably 1992 or so when a friend would reference it all the time and finally made me watch it. I think it was just finally seeing what my friend was referencing that made it so great. I have met so many people that put this on their greatest movies ever made, but then again never actually have seen the whole movie, just clips from YouTube. Now, with that said, go fetch me a shrubbery!

I used to have a handful of their comedy albums including the one with 3 sides. I have seen this movie countless times. It IS my favorite movie of all time. With that being said...

I wasn’t doubting you at all. Glad to see a fan. I always liked all the Monty Python movies, but I could not get into the Flying Circus at all. In my house as a kid, the only channel I could know for sure would come in was PBS. I remember being 12 years old and still watching Sesame Street because that’s all I had. Even then, I would walk away from Flying Circus. No idea why I enjoy The Life of Brian, but cannot make it through an episode of Flying Circus. What was great, is it was one of the original skit comedies that paved the way for so many other shows.

It's an impossible question. The movies I've rewatched the most in my life are probably the original Star Wars trilogy, Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski, Swingers, JFK, Dazed and Confused, T2, The Matrix and Up In Smoke. There are a lot of other movies I would consider to be 10/10 but not things I need to see more then once or twice.

I'm going to guess I've seen Raiders of the Lost Ark maybe 100 times in the last forty years. I'll pay to go see it in theaters whenever they bring it back.

JFK is a great movie. I forget about that one and how well Costner did in it. My biggest issue is that it is like 3 1/2 hours long and I never have that long to watch a movie. It’s one of the ones I remember having to put the second tape in half way through. Quote:
