I don't know how many times I've seen it, but it's probably tied with The Wizard Of Oz. Who here doesn't have every bit of Purple Rain dialog memorized? lol

Oz came on once a year while growing up, so it got a jump start on PR. Some folks claim that you can play the Sign O The Times album along with Wizard Of Oz and get a cohesive experience from it like Pink Floyd's The Wall. I never tried it.

Never heard the SOTT thing. I watched OZ every year too growing up. But I'm 41, and by the time PR was out, I probably only had 15 OZ showings under my belt. I had at least that many in the first or two year PR came out in theaters, and then on video.

In fact, just tonight I had PR on in the background for a while, for "noise".

Hells, I didn't even know there was color in the Wizard Of Oz for the first few years until our black and white TV broke and dad had to buy a new color set. lol

I've watched it once. Tried watching it again recently and stopped before the end. Apart from the music, it's not really a very good movie. IMHO of course. smile

And now for a cup of tea.

Not very many. I wasn't a fan in high school, so I actually didn't see it till years later. I saw it for the first time in a theater earlier this year.
Ever once in a while I'll watch it on TV, but only in parts.

I saw it 16 times back in the 80's when it came out. I can't even count how many times I've seen it on TV since then.

No more then 5 times my entire life, it's not exactly a quality film but the music rocks. On another note why are peeps here mentioning Wizard of Oz? What's the significance?

Squirrelgrease mentioned it, I just assumed that was another film they have seen lots to. No significance other than that that I can see.

I was told it was in color, but we had a B/W TV. However, most years we'd go to my grandparent's house because they had a color TV. We finally got a TV when I was about 5 or 6.

And we had no remote control, and called our grandparents on a rotary dial phone. Kids these days don't understand what we had to go through. We were some Little House On The Prairie bein' motherfuckers. razz

Yeah!! We kids were the remote control...back in my day. falloff

Try telling a kid to change the channel now-a-days. They'll spend 20 minutes looking all over for the remote before you have to instruct then on doing it manually. lol
