Apparently WWE is letting some folks out of their non-competes early. Guess they don’t want to burn useless cash. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 28, 08:39 3

      - Brilliant idea! - ty97 Jun 28, 08:29 1

- Kind of odd that we have not really heard any casting news. -- nm - Spawn Jun 28, 08:23 1
  - We're all part of the ensemble! -- nm - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 28, 08:36
Stolen from Twitter: What 5 movies are you confident you’ve seen at least 10 times? -- nm - Beaker Jun 28, 08:02 45
- Godfather, Casablanca, Star Wars, 5th Element, Big Lebowski, Moonstruck, Cotton Club -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 28, 11:29
- The Dark Night, The Matrix, LOTR:FotR, LOTR:TTT, LOTR:RotK. Easy peasy. -- nm - Shaun Jun 28, 09:04
- Jurassic Park, original 3 Indians Joneses, original SW trilogy, Gremlins, Goonies, Home Alone, Elf, Ferris Buellor's Day Off, and on and on and on... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 28, 08:58
- Xanadu, Star Wars, Raiders/Crusade (but not Temple of Doom), Real Genius, LA Story, Sneakers, Flash Gordon, Back to the Future - Max Jun 28, 08:54 1
  - Agreed on all. -- nm - Spawn Jun 28, 08:55

  - *checks to see why this is blocked.. oh* - Spawn Jun 28, 08:45
  - heh, I watched The Martian last night as background noise while I watched a comic auction -- nm - Beaker Jun 28, 08:43
- Cars, maybe? -- nm - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 28, 08:39
- In order of probably number of times: Rocky Horror, Neverending Story, Twister, Avatar, Oceans Eleven. -- nm - Qale Jun 28, 08:38
- there's only one I've seen more than 10. If I count ones I've seen 5-8 times my list would be similar to Spawn's. -- nm - mud Jun 28, 08:32
- singing in the rain, you've got mail, Die Hard, the Martian, Sound of Music, Real Genius, Top Secret. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 28, 08:32
- Too many (especially if you count movies that I've watched 30-40 minutes whenever I run across it on tv. Start with Grease (which a friend worked at - pmb Jun 28, 08:32
- I think Christmas and Halloween movies could easily dominate these lists. People have watched the same movies year after year for decades. -- nm - Krusty Jun 28, 08:29 14

  - True, Home Alone 1 and 2, It's a Wonderful Life, various Scrooges -- nm - Beaker Jun 28, 08:40

    - I tried to avoid just naming a bunch of holiday films which I could have easily done. A Christmas Story is definitely one I've seen 10 times. - Krusty Jun 28, 08:33

        Beetlejuice, A Nightmare Before Christmas, Shaun of the Dead, Edward Scissorhands, Halloween, The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown ;-), Scream, Scary Movie - Krusty Jun 28, 08:43 5
        
        If a movie is more funny than scary, it is not a horror movie! -- nm - Spawn Jun 28, 08:47 4
        
        I did say Halloween movies specifically in my original post. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 28, 08:53 2
        
        Good call, then. I award you the victory, as I have watched many of those many times as well! -- nm - Spawn Jun 28, 08:59 1
        
        Ha! :-) Some are great anytime of the year. I'll watch a few in the dead of summer. -- nm* - Krusty Jun 28, 09:01
