Robin Hood, Prince of Theives.
I love Kevin Costner in this movie. I love historical romance books and this movie is right up my alley. Coming in second is Kate and Leopold with Hugh Jackman. Another hunk. And third is While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock. I just like her in this movie and it is a cute movie.
I know you only asked for the most watched one but these are my favorites so had to list them all.

Please do not laugh.
I am not at all a cinema person. I like going to cinema and all, but I think it was not in my culture.
I only have 4 films, two on the diskdrive,both of them brought to me by my ex. One of them is Garfield  .
And... the big orange cat had a French Canadian accent (sorry Star and duke). That is soooooo cute!
I've only once watched it completely, but the beginning is really funny (first 5, maybe 10 minutes). I think I watched it... for about 50 times. I did so before going to sleep - just me and my lazy cat, LOL.
Other than that, the only other film I most watched was the "Age of Innocence" (Daniel Day Lewis, Winnona Rider, Michele Pfiffer)- 4 times when I was in highschool. Twice with my best friend. |

The ending is exactly like my real life. He loses his wife, but gains a beautiful son in the process. |

I think Forest Gump is a very good movie. I've never seen Office Space though.
.........and tkdlady....you just like seeing Kevie in those tights! 
The movie I've probably seen the most times, because usually I don't particularly enjoy watching a movie multiple times, has to be The Sixth Sense. I like watching it with someone who hasn't seen it. Rarely run into such a person now. |

I hate movies I can predict. If I am watching a comedy and can tell beforehand what the genius script-writer has produced, then I will not be bothered to remain seated till the end.
Consequently, I have seen very few movies once. And because my memory is really good with regards to shows, movies et cetera, I always remember the story line - which serves to remind me of other things to do.

I didn't think The Sixth Sense was predicatable at all. It was one of the first movies ever that totally surprised me.

Oh and the other movie I've watched more than once is "The Notebook", only because I'm such a sap for a good love story.

I watched that movie after you told me about it. It was very good and it made me cry! It was kind of like 50 First Dates....but more serious and better. |

Somehow...that comes as no particular surpirse. LOL!
I really like that movie too. Now that you mentioned it...I think I've probably seen this one more times because I watched it as a kid and then with my own children. I remember Chloe taking a red magic marker to her white church shoes so she would have 'Dorothy shoes'. HAHA! I was kind of p*ssed at the time....but it's a cute memory. |
