Maybe MrZero works at a movie theater? {nm} RazorHawk May 12, 10:36

But, "watching" implies some degree of attention. Don't theater employees just begin to tune it out? And, often get their exposure broken up edzep - Port Monkey! May 12, 11:20

no...just waited years to see these movies (15 years for Watchmen); marginal utility diminished slowly MrZero May 12, 11:53

spending 30hours of my life in a dark room watching a big blue dong on screen might call for some kind of rehab {nm} adrenalin112 May 12, 10:42

In the 70s I also had an interest in the industry, subcribing to Variety around Star Wars and Superman in 1977-78... {nm} KalElFan May 12, 13:36

One reason I saw those so many times, in crowded theaters, was to experience audience reaction and understand why those went Top 5. {nm} KalElFan May 12, 13:38

21 times for "The Empire Strikes Back". Last one to see more than once in the theatres was BATM2. {nm} second gary May 12, 14:10

Others I recall: "Memento," "Topsy-Turvy," "The Perfect Storm," "LOTR: The Two Towers." {nm} second gary May 12, 14:49

Usual Suspects (over ten times) The Hunt for Red October (even more that that!) {nm} MillerBoy1979 May 12, 14:35
