I watched it once so far (got the Blu-ray about three weeks ago), and I liked it, but 35 times? No way. There is no single movie in my entire life I've watched 35 times, and I'm 66 by now. I'd say that none of my favourites got over ten, or maybe 12 viewings, cinema, VHS, DVD and Blu-ray included. Nor do I regret this, when there are so many probably wonderful movies (even already in my collection) that I haven't watched even once (see my comment on Dunkirk above).
While watching a "recent" film over 35 times already seems like a lot (IMO), watching the same film that many times over a long period of time is not. For example, I've watched "2OO1: A Space Odyssey" well over 100 times - between VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray and theater screenings - over the last 55 years (i.e, >=2 times per year). And I always find something new every time I watch it.
And yes, @Dwayne, I also love "2001", but not enough to watch it (nor any other film) twice a year. Apart from the fact that my wife won't join me in those kinds of excesses, and then I'd rather sit with her on the sofa in our living room than being alone with HAL in my home theater.
Gets me every time too.
And yes, that cheesy emotion in Top Gun: Maverick really hit me in theaters. I loved that ending.
PS: @chrisisall: I had to look up what a CED player is. Never heard of it. I suppose it is what was called a Laser Disk Player over here. Or isn't it?
This is my all time favorite film; it touches me on so many levels. I’ve often said that when I’m on my deathbed, this is the last film that I want to see.
I think I can safely say I've seen most of the Bond films 100 plus times.
The Dalton films I've easily seen at least 100 times each. Same with DN, GF, TB, DAF, OP and probably AVTAK.
The Craig films I doubt have gotten into the triple digits for me, mainly because they're relatively recent.
@-) You are a TRUE believer! But wait- math time. 15 (approx) X 100 is 1,500. So, basically 30 Bond film viewings a year for the last 50 years? Okay, I can see that (not in the casino sense).
