Unemployed or retired. I wouldn’t but I suppose I could see a movie 100 times. But then I’d be retired and divorced lol.

We’ve all watched our favorite movies hundreds of times.
C’mon, Star Wars, Indy, Die Hard, Predator, Aliens, Road Warrior, Terminator, CTB….that list can easily go on for another 300 movies!
Not in the theater sure but at home they’re on constant rotation.

I still think it’s a fine movie for what it is. Marvel does, however, desperately need a reset—which is what Secret Wars should give them. That will be the perfect chance to wipe the slate clean, send off the old guard, 100% recast, learn from their mistakes, and plot out a new, cohesive 10-year to 15-year plan. However, all the resetting in the world won’t help if the MCU emerges into the same divisive and toxic political climate. This has become absolutely insane.

I don't understand how you can do that and not totally kill the experience. The movies I've watched most times throughout the years are probably the Star Wars Trilogy and Aliens, but I still haven't seen them more than approx. 8-10 times each since the 80's. If I watch a movie too often I'll get tired of it nomatter how good it is.
You folks are hardcore. I'm only at 96 for Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Nah. Like wormlander, I'd get sick of a movie if I was watching it repeatedly like that. Now, he said 8-10 times, I'm sure I've gone a good bit over that but I'd be surprised if I was more than say, 50, for even the best movies - from when they came out to now.

I will admit, I was never a fan of the Avengers. I only ever read Avengers stories in Secret Wars, which is why it's quite nice to see Monica at last. I read X-men and Captain America, plus early Spiderman and FF when I was young. The movies made me like the Avengers, and Thor, and Ant Man, so I am probably carrying a lot less baggage.
I dislike the Multiverse too, while at the same time acknowledging that it is a huge part of MCU history. But I agree, it would not have been my go-to storyline. I've always thought Kang was rubbish. I wonder if they only picked it as a convoluted way to bring X-Men and FF into the MCU.
Still, the Spiderman crossover worked really well.
I would rather they used something like the Seige Perilous to recast characters.
I agree with wormlander and a-dev because I can only watch ALIENS maybe 8-10 times tops in a single sitting before I need to get up and take a break.

I watched so many times in a row that an alien literally chest- bursted out of me at the dinner table…not a pretty sight at In-law Christmas dinner…

My top 400 are always on rotation but it takes quite awhile to get back to # 1.
Yeah, there will never come a time where I ever say "I've watched the SW OT, ALIENS, LOTR, Robocop, Conan, Raiders, etc., enough times in my life so I'll just stop permanently now." There will always be another viewing of each of my top favorites in my future until the day I die.
Well yeah, I agree with that. I'd just be surprised if I've clocked up 100 viewings of ESB, Alien/s, T1/T2, Predator and Robocop. These are pretty much my favorite movies of all time and I'll probably watch them once in a 3 year period. When I was a child I probably would have had a higher quantity of viewings such that I learned the dialogue and so on but I would have since balanced it out with viewings further and further apart. I have no way of knowing for sure but I doubt I'm into the 100s.
I have enough favorites that "once every three years" is probably accurate for me too with different films being due to come up in rotation on any given year.
Fine isn’t good enough anymore.
