How many times have you seen this?


This film often shows up on "movies you can only watch once" list, but I've seen this so many times. I own the soundtrack and that's pretty good.

0 times.

I need to help you fix this.

Been on my watchlist forever, just never got around to it. Maybe one day...

reply

Once.

Not enough, Steven. This is wholesome family entertainment.

It's been on my mind to revisit lately, but to date, I'd guess around half a dozen times over the years . . .

reply

It's been a while for me too but everytime I see it, it's just as good as the last.

reply

Hmm probably 5 times. I think it's a good movie with some unique cinematography aspects. I think it's a solid flick and certainly worth a watch, but tend to think it's overrated too, but maybe that's just the crowd I hang out with.

reply

The last half hour or so is when I feel people find hard to sit through. There is a lot of repetition and it's like a long montage.

reply

The whole movie kind of feels like a montage. It's definitely unique though.

Once. Thought it was overly melodramatic.

Hi! I'm Nanook. You might remember me as the self-referenced "grizzled horror fan" from MC.

While I recognize its brilliance, plus prime Jennifer Connelly, I've only seen it the one time. Parts of it made me...uncomfortable. Same with Trainspotting. Likely several other disturbing non-horrors I've probably mentioned but can't recall atm.

I'm even an Aronofsky fan; favorites seen being Black Swan and The Wrestler. Come to think of it, I think the only film of his I've seen more than once is Pi, in the theater, iirc.

reply

This film and Pi are the only two Aronofsky films I've seen more than once.

I always fast forward to the "Ass to Ass" part.

Seriously though, at least twice, maybe three times.
