The only movie I ever repeatedly watched in theaters was Kevin Smith's Dogma.
I remember that was when I discovered Kevin Smith: I'd read a movie review that ran through the basic plot and mentioned the characters meeting God Herself a.k.a. Alanis Morissette. I was intrigued and went to watch it--discovering that the movie theater was practically empty when I did (I think I saw it during its end run).
But I loved it and went back. And again. And again. Tickets were cheap, I was single and bored and enjoyed it immensely so I watched it a total of 6 or 7 times.
Most times I was the only one in the theater. I remember one viewing where a middle aged woman came in and sat down then left inside of the first 5 minutes...and didn't return.
I smoked cigarettes back then and having worked as a movie theater usher in my teens I knew the pattern of what to expect from ushers checking up so since I was alone they never checked up and I could sit back with a smuggled soft drink and smoke away while having the entire theater to myself. It was surprisingly liberating.
Aside from Dogma I don't think I've watched anything but a Star Wars movie and Avatar in the theater more than twice.
