What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?
I’m not sure it’s five times but it’s definitely my stand alone most watched movie. Dermot Mulroney is a very fine actor, and Debra Messing irritated the heck out of me for a lot of the movie in a way that was nothing short of brilliant.
Any actor that can make you feel strong emotion is a genius. It’s not my fault, who in their right mind would hesitate if Dermot Mulroney was interested?
He’d probably say:
“Will you…”
I’d scream and run round in circles yelling “Yes, yes, a thousand times yes”
“Join me for coffee?” (Extremely puzzled look.)
“I Love coffee! Do they have Arabica?” (Extremely disappointed look.)
He’s not ageing as well as my husband though! (Sulk saving disclaimer – but true.)
Mission (Oscar) Impossible
The Mission Impossible series is up there when it comes to franchises. I’ve watched that series through at least twice and probably would again. I’ve seen the first two about three times.
I know it’s not a universally popular opinion, but I love Tom Cruise and think he’s the finest actor that will probably never win an Oscar, due to the prejudice against his religion. As if there are no skeletons in the cupboards of other religions. However, he’s so successful that millions obviously agree with me, and also mind their own business.
Shooting for the stars
When it comes to TV it’s Star Trek. The original series and the next Generation. I haven’t watched the others but I found them on streaming TV and will give them a go.
I also enjoy all the films, including the Chris Pine franchise. He, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, and Karl Urban were pitch perfect. Respecting the original whilst making it their own. There is nothing like a new jarring note ruining the memories of an old favourite.
What was particularly great was that Zoe Saldana was able to be a more empowered Uhura, one might say like the late and lovely Nichelle Nichols herself. Again, a respectfully faultless performance.
I know we’ve watched the entire Next Gen series twice. We’re on our second run through Lucifer.
What’s in a number?
I also know I’ve cheated a bit on numbers, but an entire series must count as more than 5. The next Gen was 7 boxes sets long.
A film franchise is often more than two films. We’ve watched the Hunger Games three times, so that’s 12 films. Twilight twice, that’s 8 films.
So, with a bit of flexing the question (as usual), that’s my answer. 🤣
