A very recent one I have watched over three times is"PT109" by Warner Bros. Pictures produced in 1963, which is so informative to my model building.  O0 :embarrassed: :-))
The contents themselves are also so realistic and tell us how Kennedy played a role of a good and unique skipper of the boat of the days.  :-)) %%

there are sure more than 3 great fims I watched more often (more than 3 times) ...and it wouldn't be fair to list only one so here are 3:

Blade Runner I've seen in movie theaters even more than once, in german synchronisation, original and later several video or DVD cuts.
among many others I still love HELP! with the Beatles  (I've seen Ringo and his AllSTARS 2018)
Both have fantastic music.

And for something a bit fresher:

I really like The Thing (Carpenter's original) and The Road Warrior.  Other films I like but can't really justify watching them over and over again in full.

John Ford's "She wore a yellow ribbon", possibly the best western ever made, imho!

That was the first one I saw, back as a kid on public TV, but that one was called The Thing From Another World.  Carpenter's film and the awful remake were both titled just The Thing.
