Generally, when a person likes something they watch it or experience it many times. I ask you all -can you name the Movie you've watched the most times, the Comic book you've read the most times and the Song you've listened to the most times.
As for me:
Movie: The Godfather
Comic Book: Avengers #4
Song: She loves you -the Beatles.

I ask you all -can you name the Movie you've watched the most times, the Comic book you've read the most times and the Song you've listened to the most times? No. In some cases I can give my best guess. But I’ll start with the one I know for certain. Movie: The Last of SheilaNot necessarily my favorite movie but definitely my favorite mystery. Not only is every clue fully and fairly displayed, upon re-viewing there are additional clues not even used in the solution. A master class in the genre. Comic: Flash #251 or Adventure Comics #452 or Batman #294One of the early ones, anyway. As the collection grew, there was less time to dedicate to rereading. Song: Double Trouble by Lynyrd Skynyrd or The Famous Final Scene by Bob SegerDuring my barroom days I used play songs from my favorite artist on the jukebox that I didn’t hear everyday on the radio. Since there were no Country selections available, I probably wore more than a few people out with my Rock favorites. |

Movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark (Star Wars and Empire would be neck and neck for second), Blues Brothers a distant third/fourth.
Comic: Avengers #162
Song-well probably the entirety of Dark Side of the Moon as I was a huge Floyd fanatic in high school and as a young undergrad and would listen to the album all the way through just about every day between the middle of my sophomore year of high school until sometime near the end of my sophomore year as an undergrad. I haven't listened to it in about 10 years now but it will take a lot for any song/album to catch up to the sheer volume of listening I did to that one.
To add one to the list-novel read: The Hobbit (only novel I ever read more than 5 times), Lord of the RIngs, Beowulf, The Illiad, the Odyssey, Catcher in the Rye, and Good Omens are the only others that have had at least a threepeat. Nonfiction I had to read Montaillou: The Promised Land of Era about the region of Southern France and the Albigensian Crusade on four different occasions for 4 different classes.

Uncertain.
Movie, best guess: A Few Good Men.
The movie I have spent the most hours watching is the extended Lord of the Rings collection. As a young child, I watched The Hobbit and Neverending Story over and over. I have no idea how many times and haven't seen either in decades, so it's hard to guess if it's more or less often. Later in my childhood, it was Lion King and Newsies. Later in life, high school and college, it was Mortal Kombat, which I estimate I watched about 50 times. But I've watched it less in the last decade.
Lately, I am more likely to watch a greater variety of movies, mainly because so many more are available to me. But I do have comfort movies I return to, perhaps if I am too sick or tired to watch something new, or really looking for a specific set of reactions I know the movie will provide, because of my mood. That is where A Few Good Men, Serenity, Love Actually, and The Paper come in. All movies I turn on frequently.
Comic book: Infinity Gauntlet. Almost certainly. I was once able to recite the entire thing and can still do huge swaths of it. These days I have so many comics, and buy so many, that I reread far less often, whereas when I was young I only had so many comics, so I read my favorites over and over again. Knightfall, the Gatherers Saga. But I'm almost certain Infinity Gauntlet wins by a mile.
Song: Me and Bobby McGee by Roger Miller.

Movie: Star Wars
Comic: kingdom come
Song: almost certainly something queensryche. Probably from operation mindcrime like breaking the silence, I don't believe in love or eyes of a stranger.
Novel: n/a. Never read a novel more than once that I can think.

I answered the movie question with Godfather but I remember watching The Ten Commandments yearly for many years. I just haven't watched it lately. Other movies that I've watched over 8 or so times are:
The Big Sleep
Casablanca
Empire Strikes Back ( the Best of the SW movies IMHO)
In recent years I've watched Watchmen multiple times.

Movie: Hard call since I re-watch movies a lot. Probably Princess Bride.
Comic: Either Giant-Size Avengers #2 or Avengers Annual #7
Song: Very hard call. Possibly One Tin Soldier by Coven or Hard Days Night by the Beatles
Novel: Easiest call of them all. I stopped counting re-readings for The Lord of the Rings after a dozen.

Great call, mrp. Allow me to add:
Novel: The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
In fact, the Humphrey Bogart film would be a close second in the Movie category. I love them both equally.

I can guess.
Movie: Honestly...probably Toy Story. Both of my younger sons watched it all the time. Without children...almost certainly Casablanca.
Comic: I dunno. Best guess would be Watchmen. And since I read all of them at the same time...the whole run.
Song: Ummmm...in recent times probably So What by The Miles Davis Quintet.
Book: Almost certainly Fahrenheit 451 which I used to read annually.
