How many times have you watched Local Hero?

I guess most people on this message board love Local Hero. For me it is one of my two favourite films. I first watched it soon after it came out at a cinema in St Helens. I must have watched it 10 times since, more than any other film. Somehow, I find I can watch it many times and I don't get bored of it, whereas I would with other films.

I'm interested in how many times others have watched it over the years. Where did you first watch it? And do you feel the same about not getting bored with it?

It was a favourite when it first appeared on TV and I probably watched it several times. Then for many years it disappeared before turning up again - and it's great! Takes a little while to work it's magic but a pleasant accompaniment to a glass of whisky. I must get a copy so it's not so long between viewings.
