How many times have YOU seen Indy?

[fortuneandglory]

This is just a thread to celebrate the amount of times you've seen Indy in your life, all three movies together.

I'm about 120.

[qwerty]

I saw them all together around 20 times. But in the last year only once (ROTLA).

[temple of john]

I have probably watched an Indiana Jones film a total of 40 times. I actually need to wait quite a while before watching any again because I'm bored of the films and plus rae won't let me watch them anymore.

That is the big problem. After a while you start knowing what was gonna happen in two seconds and then it is just no fun.

[Doc Savage]

Lord, I' couldn't tell you how many times I've watched them...and each time with a different focus. After I found out Pat Roach died, I watched them all just to see him in the four parts he played.

[IndyBuff]

I honestly can't say how many times I've seen each film but, needless to say, it's A LOT. I never get tired of seeing them and each time I discover something new and it feels like I'm watching them for the first time. There's a timelessness about them that I love and I think they're perfect.:)

[fortuneandglory]

I watch them all the time... bout once a month on average since I was like 10 years old, therefore 8* 12 = Ninety some... and I take out some for discrepancies... all figured about 90 some times plus the years when I watched it more than twelve, plus the times I saw it before I was ten years old... and we get to this total.

Rae used to be like that with "Bram Stokers Dracula". Gary Oldman gets her sprung apparently.

[fortuneandglory]

I see you two are.... involved? By the way, nice dog avatar. I'm so used to the Grail....

Sprung? Good lord, you're gonna get it for that one...

[00Kevin]

OMG, you guys arn't half the indy nerd I once was...I must have been the films more times then you can count

ok, let's say 500, and a majority of that crammed into summer 02 :D

but I think I've only watch 1 or 2 in the past 2 years :eek:

[Edward The Head]

I wouldn't have clue as to how many times I've watched them. I know Raiders is well out in front though. I think the last time I watched one though was last year some time. I have watched the couple of Young Indy I have on tape. I really should put them on the new HD TV I got a couple of months ago.

[Ray Delark]

You all are true fans!

I feel the same:whip:

[DazDaMan]

I have no idea, to be honest! I know I watched ROTLA twice last week!

TLC used to be my fave in high school, but then that was because I'd only ever seen bits of the other two - until just a few years ago when the BBC screened all three over a month. THAT was quality entertainment! :D

Have also watched all three in one day before now, back-to-back....!

[etobicoke indy]

hmm i would say bout 30 for rotla.....30 for tod..and maybe 7-8 for LC

[ClintonHammond]

Uncounted hundres of times probably.... The movies that is...

Young Indy, I caught a time or two on TV, but I recall being pretty bored with them.... I'd give them another day in court if I could get hands on them

Hey cool... They are ALL OVER eMule!

Any suggestions for episodes to start with? (I recall bits of the one where "Young Indy" plays Sax, and man oh man was that ever a yawn-fest...)

[VP]

Yeah I have downloaded 10 episodes from eMule. Have only watched a couple yet, though. Verdun is pretty good.

[Canyon]

It's gotta be a few hundred times for each movie now. :whip:

It could even been 500 each by now... :o

[indyt]

Raiders = 45 times

TOD = 10-15

Crusade = 10-15

Never get tired of them:up:

[Ray Delark]

Has anyone ever tried to edit parts from all three movies together to make a comprehensible and different Indiana Jones movie?

[ROSLEE]

A few times:gun:

-R-

[ROTLA]

I have to be at least near 300 times...and that's probably a conservative estimate. I tend to put one of them on everyday before I go to bed (working a night shift, I try to unwind when I get home and then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz).

[Abe Vayoda]

One hunndreddy billion. :p


Never taken a tally... and I've never been on a once a month regimen. I watch them when I feel like it.

[Gustav]

About the same as Abe, give or take a billion.

I tend to put one of them on everyday before I go to bed (working a night shift, I try to unwind when I get home and then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz).

I do that a lot too since I fall asleep a lot easier with a familiar movie on the T.V. I usually find Temple of Doom to be the most suitable for just such an occasion. Don't know why. Zombie movies are also good to fall asleep to, at least for me, because then I have dreams of zombies which is always fun. Lately I've been using the original Frankenstein for this purpose.

[Violet Indy]

What about the original "Mummy" movie?:p

[fortuneandglory]

Not as many times as Indy, but I've seen that one probably 30 times.

[qwerty]

How can you still like those movies if you saw them so many times.
If I saw them as many times as you guys did I would get so iritated with the whole Indiana Jones thing, just like alcoholics that stoped drinking feel towards alcohol.

[Canyon]

Well, my watching the trilogy nearly spans for almost 20 years. ;)

[fortuneandglory]

I love the movies so much that I WANT to see them. I don't go on a regimen, that defeats the whole principle, and makes it a job, like dieting. I just watch 'em when I want, and that way I just have fun with it. These counts just sort of turn out that way.

I'm the same way! I've been watching these films for about roughly 13 to 15 years and I've never grown tired of them. I just watch them whenever I want to and they're still just as fresh and fun for me today as they were back then. It' amazing how re-watchable they are!:up:

[Violet Indy]

Yeah, watching them and re-watching them isn't annoying like other classic films. If I was to watch say "Grease" I would be tired of it the first time and detest it the second.

[Gustav]

What about the original "Mummy" movie?:p

You mean the Boris Karloff one? I always thought that one was a little boring. Maybe I would like it more now since I'm older and when I was younger I was disappointed that the mummy didn't appear wrapped in bandages throughout the entire film. Stephen Sommers' Mummy is one I can watch without getting tired of it.

[Violet Indy]

Yeah, the Boris Karloff one. I found it pretty funny. I do like Sommer's version of it better though. I enjoy the new Mummy movies a lot more. :whip:

[Gustav]

What are your favourite movies, Violet? http://raven.theraider.net/showthread.php?p=213761#post213761

[ClintonHammond]

At least one more, cause I feel a rewatch coming on!

Make a huge bucket of garlic-popcorn.... make a pitcher of Ceasar with Jalapenio ice-cubes.... Hit my fav. chair and watch 'em back to back to back

Nice way to spend a night in, after Herself is gone to bed



:-)

[Indy Jr.]

I've watched Raiders and Last Crusade about 10 times each, and Temple of Doom about 5 times.

[Twilightpro101]

I've watched them so many times over the last 22 years of my life, I've lost count.

[IrishLuck1980]

I couldn't even begin to give a number. I watch the Original Star Wars Trilogy and the Indiana Jones Trilogy on a daily basis. But it's usually on my 2nd monitor and in the background. Some people listen to music, I listen to Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Truly a child of the 80s :hat:

Since I posted this you can add 3 more times for the whole Trilogy. :hat:

[JD2008]

I've seen them enough to memorize the movies line for line (But I don't think I had all three memorized at the same time).

[Indy4fan]

I've lost count. After Star Wars ended, I watched Indy everyday, but I'm trying to watched one film every week so that I won't get bored but will still be Indy-informed. But then again, who get's bored of watching Indy!?

[salussolia]

i watch each one about twice a day when im working or drawing

[Professor Jones]

i watch each one about twice a day when im working or drawing

Woa... let's make some math: ù

1 movie=2 hours.


(1 movie) X (twice a day) = 4 hours.

(each Indy movie=3 movies= 6hours) X (twice a day) = 12 hours.

So you spent each day 12 hours watching Indy movies and working/drawing. I bet that's not very good for your poor eyes! :cool: (althought it could be a great benefit for your soul!)

[salussolia]

no i about watch about an indy movie twice a day

thats like for hours thats like 12 hours a week but idk weekend about 3 times . plus bonus feratures

im watching that right now

before i was watching temple fo doom .

yesterday was raiders and doom .

yeah my eyes burn like a bastard .

[Professor Jones]

eheheheh... you really made me laugh. :D

I was like you when I studied. I put one of the movies each afternoon while studying.

[salussolia]

its great backround music haha :) ;) :) ;) :D

[Professor Jones]

Sure it is!! I've learned by memory the script of Last Crusade that way!

"I came here to save you!"

"Oh yeah? And who's gonna come to save YOU, junior?"

"I told you..." TA-DA-DA-DAAAAAAA - rattattattattattttt - "..don't call me junior!" :whip:

[Michael24]

I couldn't even begin to count how many times I've watched each movie. Throughout the '80s, when RAIDERS and TEMPLE OF DOOM were still "new," I watched them quite frequently. And just the same, when LAST CRUSADE hit VHS, it was a frequently-watched movie in the early- and mid-90s. By the late-90s, the Indy craze seemed to be gone, and my viewing frequency gradually dropped off from a few times a month to maybe just a few times a year.

In the last decade, I'd guess I've watched each of them an average of 2-3 times a year. Last month, I watched all three in the same day, then about a week later, I couldn't decide what to watch and put on TEMPLE OF DOOM again. As the release of KOTCS gets closer, I expect I'll start watching them frequently again, getting myself in the mood.

I never get bored watching an Indy film, no matter how many times I've seen them (which, at this point, is likely a lot!) :D

[salussolia]

now i started crusade watched bonus features and doom today

ill watch radiers tomoroe or toinight im off monday and tuesday

[Katarn07]

No clue. I've been a fan of Indy since I was 4 (16 years ago). I watched my VHS tapes repeatedly as a kid. Those were the first VHSs I upgraded to DVD due to the tapes' poor quality from overuse. I think I've seen each of the films on DVD 5-10 times since they came out 4 years ago. That's me watching things conservatively. As a kid, I could watch the same movies a couple times a week so just use your imaginaition how many times I've seen these things :p

[No Ticket]

I have been watching these movies since I was 4 years old and recently I watched all three movies again after not seeing any of them in at least a year or so... and ya know what I discovered?

1.) Raiders I've not seen that many times compared to the others and I had forgotten a lot of little stuff, little details and lines... thoroughly enjoyed it. I knew the gist of the storyline but not the specifics of every scene so it was like watching a movie you hadn't seen in a long time (even though it probably hasn't been THAT long).

2.) I have seen TOD.. A LOT. I still enjoyed watching it but I know every line that is coming. Seriously. I just sit there the entire time mouthing the next lines because I know what they are word for word. Unlike Raiders, I pretty much know what every shot looks like and I can even remember the mannerisms and actions of the characters. I annoy the crap out of my friends when watching that one. lol. But come on, the movie still kicked ass.

3.) But LC. Good God. I have seen that one WAY TOO MUCH!! I know it line for line, scene by scene, mannerisms and gestures... everything. I even started noticing little things that now bother me. "Convenient that the motorcycle was both INSIDE a crate AND had a passenger car. :rolleyes: " ... or "Wait a tic, one minute the wall in the catacombs (with the X on it) isn't cracked and the next minute, before we ever SEE or HEAR Indy go to bust it down, it suddenly does?"

I started noticing stuff like that and it started taking some of the enjoyment out of it. And because it does, truthfully, have less action... I became bored because I know the film so well. Kind of sad really. I can't even watch it all the way through and enjoy it like I used to.

Oh well. At least I have a new Indy adventure to watch come May 22!!

[Matthew]

I've seen the first two hundreds, literally I was obsessed - wish someone stepped in and told me to moderate. LC prob. less than 100. Just watched ToD for the first time in deliberately over a year, very pleasurable that I noticed things I had never! One ex. after Indy tells Willie she looks like a princess at dinner, he tries to introduce her to Capt. Bloombert, he & Indy exchange a look, funny. I can't believed I missed that.

[MattJones]

"How many times have YOU seen Indy?"


How many times... today? ;)

[Maybe.Not Today]

It's a number so large that it's impossible/ embarassing to say. I have been an Indy fan my entire life. When I was a kid, any time that wasn't spent watching indy was spent rolling around in the dirt outside, pretending to be him. Now my time is split between making my own films and..you guessed it, going back to watching the films that started it all. I'll never get tired of watching any of them ad nauseum.
