I just watched Purple Rain yesterday for the 189th time. How many times have you all seen it?

That's INSANE. I've seen it 50 times, and I thought that was excessive! lol

BUT... I've seen Under the Cherry Moon 58 times. I've actually watched it 4 times in the last month. It's just a fun movie to pop in when you're doing stuff around the house... and in my opinion... while it's not better than Purple Rain, it's definitely more fun.

I love Purple Rain.

Im still waiting to See Under The Cherry Moon, and its not at my video store so ><

i saw purple rain 6 times in the theaters when it originally was released. i can't tell you how many times i've seen it on video or on TV...i've seen bits and pieces of it tons of times over the years, so it kind of fragments how i'm able to count the times i've seen it...really, the times in the theater are the times that count for me, because it was most fun watching it with a big audience back when prince was first getting to be really really huge in the states. those were good times.

I just can't believe you kept count...you actually counted 189 times that you've watched PR??

I don't know how many times I've seen it, ALOT, I know that, I've probably seen UTCM more than PR tho....I am in L ve with Christopher Tracy

I don't count either but it has also been a lot of times. 2 days ago I was watching with my boyfriend and he says "I can't believe you aren't tired of watching this movie, how many times have you watched it?"

How can I get tired of Prince he so fun to look at

I know

I saw it 6x in the week I rented it from Blockbuster.

And the first time I ever saw it was the first day I watched that DVD. That was nearly 2 wks ago.

Oh, and I loved every minute of it.

I haven't seen it either! still looking, its not in any of 3 video stores ive looked here.

However, hence owning purple rain ive watched it more times then id care to count

I saw it 7 times in the theater. I have no idea how many times I've seen it over the years on VHS or DVD.

Oh gosh I dunno. I think I stopped counting after a 100. Like I have a copy at my house that I watch frequently and my best friend has a copy that we watch at his house whenever we get bored. LOL!

Once I buy it or get for my bday, I'm sure I'll end up watching it 100x over the course of a couple of months.

I don't know.
Many times I guess

I'll be watching it and my husband says:

"let me know when they show the tit scene!"

So i'll say he's seen that scene quite a few times

I've seen it more times than I can possibly count,and probably more times than anybody really wants 2 know!

I've seen it way too many times. And that's only when I watch the whole movie - do partial watchings count?

Protege said:

I dunno.

I've replayed the lake scene a couple of times, and the scene where he talks to his monkey, heh.

theodore said:

You can own the bare bones Purple Rain DVD for $9.99 in most stores. But, I recommend the 20th Anniversary Edition with a second disc of great extras, including live concert footage and videos. I just bought it for $19.99

Love Purple Rain, especially the club scenes. Plus, I like the semi-autobiographical story.

Looking at it after all these years makes me laugh. The acting, for the most part, wasn't stellar, which is understandable since the band members weren't actors, and the dilaogue isn't great, but it never bothers me.

I wish they'd release ALL of the music from the movie on one CD, including the songs from the soundrack we all know and love, PLUS all of the other music that appears in the movie, including the TIME, Appolonia 6, and Dez Dickerson
