Default Name movies and/or books that you've.......

Watched or read 3 or more times. And for movies it has to be "seen in a theater".

I saw The Dark Knight at the theater 3 times and I've read this 3 times.

I've never seen a movie more than once in a theatre, but I've watched O Brother, Where Art Thou? countless times.

I've read A Clockwork Orange and A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man a few times each as well. I've also reread a bunch of Kafka's short stories.

I've read Carl Sagan's COSMOS probably at least 3 times, some chapters half a dozen times. Only movie I've seen 3 times or more in theaters was Avatar, which I don't even really care much for and haven't watched since. I just kept getting invited to go see it by friends and family, that **** was huge when it came out.
