[Sans-Culotte]

45.

[GeronL]

69

All on TV of course.

half of them I wished I hadn’t. lol

[I cannot think of a name]

Pretty much all of them.*

The number I would bother to watch again is much, much, smaller.

* In the interest of fairness I should mention that all of these were on cable or VHS/DVD. And ‘watched’ does not mean making it all the way through to the end. That would dramatically reduce the number.

26...I don’t get to the movies a lot.

[DemforBush]

56 here. I’ve never seen any of the Lethal Weapon movies, or the Home Alone series. I regret to say I did sit through both Dead Poets Society and several other Robin Williams’ films of that era.

I’ve seen Highlander at least 50 times. Which is understandable, as it is the greatest film ever made.

I think I've seen every one on that list except the Teenage Neutered Midget Poodles, or whatever they're called. I will not be correcting that deficiency.
