Tossup between Gettysburg, Godfathers I & II, or Goodfellas. I've seen each so many times I've lost count, though it probably numbers in the teens.

Must be the G.

I'm waiting to see how long it's going to take for Rocky Horror to turn up. I know there's people who have seen it in the hundreds....I saw it once, that was enough.

A quick guess? Probably either...
The Dirty Dozen, or...
Breakfast at Tiffiny's, or...
The Long Hot Summer...

Thanks for the reminder, Telemarkman! The Outlaw Jose Wales would definitely be in my running!

yeah, me too, on the Gangster movies, don't think i've watched gettysburg, tho.

the other movie i've watched many many times is Robert Wise's "the Haunting" from 1963. a truly good horror movie, something there aren't all that many of anymore.

Probably one of the Johnny Weismuller Tarzan films they seemed to play every Sunday afternoon when I was a kid (the Buffalo NY TV stations apparently had some sort of fetish for showing them).

Otherwise, it would be The Good, The Bad And The Ugly or The Matrix.

I even read the book.


Jet Li's "Hero" is catching up, though.

"The Maltese Falcon" is a great book. Hammett was a killer...
That said, this one's easy. The Godfather. Whenever it's on the tube and I stumbled upon, I'm in for the duration. My wife often wonders how a person of Italian-American descent can watch that film over and over again. It's all about family and tradition.

Without a doubt "Trading Places".

Every Christmas season it's on TV and I make a point of re-watching it. It still makes me laugh like an idiot.

"When We Were Kings" comes in a not-so-distant second.

"The Maltese Falcon" is a great book. Hammett was a killer...
From the genre and time, I prefer James Cain and Raymond Chandler (before he turned into a self-parody), but I love the brief digression in "The Maltese Falcon" known as "The Flitcraft Parable," an anecdote related by Sam Spade:

"Here's what happened to him. Going to luch he passed an office-building that was being put up - just the skeleton. A beam or something fell eight or ten stories down and smacked the sidewalk alongside him. It brushed pretty close to him, but didn't touch him, though a piece of the sidewalk was chipped off and flew up and hit his cheek. It only took a piece of skin off, but he still had the scar when I saw him. He rubbed it with his finger - well, affectionately - when he told me about it. He was scared stiff of course, he said, but he was more shocked than really frightened. He felt like somebody had taken the lid off life and let him look at the works."

Flitcraft had been a good citizen and a good husband and father, not by any outer compulsion, but simply because he was a man most comfortable in step with his surroundings. He had been raised that way. The people he knew were like that. The life he knew was a clean orderly sane responsible affair. Now a falling beam had shown him that life was fundamentally none of these things. He, the good citizen-husband-father, could be wiped out between office and restaurant by the accident of a falling beam. He knew then that men died at haphazard like that, and lived only while blind chance spared them.

It was not, primarily, the injustice of it that disturbed him: he accepted that after the first shock. What disturbed him was the discovery that in sensibly ordering his affairs he had got out of step, and not in step, with life. He said he knew before he had gone twenty feet from the fallen beam that he would never know peace until he had adjusted himself to this new glimpse of life. By tht time he had eaten his luncheon he had found his means of adjustment. Life could be ended for him at random by a falling beam: he would change his life at random by simply going away. He loved his family, he said, as much as he supposed was usual, but he knew he was leaving them adequately provided for, and his love for them was not of the sort that would make absence painful.

He went to Seattle that afternoon," Spade said, "and from there by boat to San Francisco. For a couple of years he wandered around and then drifted back to the Northwest, and settled in Spokane and got married. His second wife didn't look like the first, but they were more alike than they were different. You know, the kind of women that play fair games of golf and bridge and like new salad-recipes. He wasn't sorry for what he had done. It seemed reasonable enough to him. I don't think he even knew he had settled back naturally in the same groove he had jumped out of in Tacoma. But that the part of it I always liked. He adjusted himself to beams falling, and then no more of them fell, and he adjusted himself to them not falling."

What about Hammetts' other book turned movie?
"The Thin Man".

I have all six Thin Man movies on DVD. They got a little silly after about the third film...the sixth one is a little over the top. I also have all the old time Radio adaptions of the Thin Man as well and have read Dashiell Hammett's original book twice.

Anyway, nice to see some fans of Dashiell Hammett.

Although I love lot's of films, including The Thin Man, actually, the movie I've seen the most times is probably "Dawn of The Dead" (the original 1978 Romero classic).
