Im not sure when I was younger I practically wore out my VHS copy that I had taped from the TV.

Well over 100 times probably

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

No idea, maybe 30-35 times? But a lot of those weren't the full movie, but watching a portion after running into it while flipping channels.

Maybe 7?

It's not a very good movie, but for a rock movie or a musical, it's one of the best ones.

Certainly better than Elvis. lol

Did anyone see the parallels Mariah Carry had with 'Glitter'? lol

In the 80s, hundreds of times, I wore out my vhs copy. In the 90s I watched it whenever it came on TV. In the 00s I would watch it during the commercials of another show. I still annoy people because I mumble the lines of the movie while its on. Another reason I don't watch it much any more. smile

UTCM I also wore out in the 80s, then watched it every few years since then. Despite it's flaws, I like it.

GB I watched once in the theater, 3 or 4 times on video, and once on DVD. If it's on TV I'll watch it until I cringe at the bad writing and acting. They should've edited out the acting parts and just called it "A collection of Prince and Associate videos from the Graffiti Bridge album." Do it like "3 Chains of Gold:" You can forgive the bad acting, etc because it's basically just there to connect the songs.

Dunno, probably not as many as I think. 10-20? Probably only once or twice in the past 10 years though, most of those as a kid.

I have watched PR in a theater back then about 3-4 times, on VHS about 2-3 times, on dvd about 2 times...... that makes about 7-9 times.

Last time was in 2006, the day my mother died. (therefor I remember).

I have enjoyed every time watching.

Purple Rain is a good rock movie imo., I love it. heart
