yea it was on tv one not too long ago its over now but it will be on again next week prolly

Including twice tonight on TV1??

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?

really i know the whole movie by heart

I've seen PR more than OZ, but know both by heart.

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.

squirrelgrease said:

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.

I've lost count!
I do make an effort to watch it on the anniversary - just to reminisce

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.

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.

it was on last night channel 90 its called Centric(aka BETJ)its on again 2nite..

ive lost count...my mom got me the VHS back in 85' for x-mas gift.(i was 11yrs)..and now its on my zuneHD... U know just in case i get stuck in the subway...or something like that...

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.

Once, two years ago.

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.

More times than they've shown The Wizard of Oz, The Ten Commandments, It's A Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street on tv...COMBINED!

Not a fan of those, especially the 2nd.

500 times! i had it on vhs when i was 6 years old. I couldnt stop watching it.Then i got the dvd,then just recently i got the 2disc DVD. I watch it when it comes on FUSE or VH1 also.idk why. Anyways it will probably just be on the shelf for a few years until i watch it again. Im "Purpled out".

ernestsewell said:

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.

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

You know, I've never seen It's A Wonderful Life.

squirrelgrease said:

Never??? Not even once? Wow!!!

squirrelgrease said:

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

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.
