QOTD: Multiple Movie Viewings

Dammit, do I gotta do EVERYTHING on my own blog?

OK, question of the day that sprung to mind while I was at Thor 2: Thor Harder last week. What is your stance on going to movies multiple times in the theater? What movies have you seen the most times in theater?

For me, I find that since my time is at a premium now that my life revolves around a toddler, I don't tend to go to the same movie more than once. The way I figure, who knows when we'll get a babysitter again, so we might as well see something new. However, back in the free-spirited days when we could just go to movies at night willy-nilly, there ended up being a ton of stuff I saw more than a few times because it was great or I had other friends who wanted to see it or whatever. For me, the most times would probably be the original Star Wars, which I saw once as a very young lad in theaters (yes, I'm old enough to have seen Star Wars in theaters, fuck off) and then roughly 6 more times on the original re-release. Nothing else comes close to that one, although I saw the 2009 Star Trek three times in theaters, each Lord of the Rings movie 3 times due to non-intersecting groups of friends, the first Iron Man 3 times for similar reasons, The Dark Knight three times because the first time we had shitty seats opening night and we wanted to get the best experience. Plus a couple of cases like 300 where we saw it twice in regular theaters and then again in IMAX when we were on vacation in Edmonton.
