How MANY Times have you seen this Classic ?

I would say around 20 times for me

No less than 25 in straight viewings. By far my favorite movie, although I will admit I haven't seen it in about a year.

Watch it every time it shows on TCM. Watching it now. I've probably seen it over 50 times. Figuring I'm 45 anf I've seen it at least 3 times a year for the last 15 years. Awesome movie. Maybe the best all around cast for any movie ever. Some of the best music ever, and the bike chase at the end is awesome.

Charles Bronson has always been my favorite, but Mcqueen is close. Garner, Pleasance and Coburn are great as well.

Just watched it as well. I've seen it so many times that I can practically recite the dialogue along with the actors.

I saw it in a theater in Hollywood during its initial release when I was nine years old. I've seen it on VHS tape, DVD, and blu-ray at least a dozen times since then.

I remember when it was on TV every year and I've just rewatched my DVD copy - it must add up 20-30 times over the years which is ridiculous really - except I still enjoy it.

I have seen it just once so far. One of the very best films I've seen. 10/10

More than 10, less then 20.

One of the best movies on the spirit of co-operation and ingenuity.

Probably about 4-5 times.

Maybe 5 .... no use to OD on a classic. Also, gotta have time to forget how great it was before I see it again.
