51. I am trying to think back which is a long time...

Most views overall: Laurel and Hardy in the original "Babes in Toyland" which is an absolute hoot. Hokey and campy as hell and a huge tradition in our house when we were kids. This was back when local stations had to scrounge up whatever they could get to fill up afternoons, and one of our stations must have owned this because we saw it often every year. I now own a copy.

OK
All of the classic 1930s Horror Movies
Marx Brothers
Arsenic and Old Lace ( we still watch it every Halloween)
Young Frankenstein
Both of the black and white versions of "A Christmas Carol"
Miracle on 34th Street
It's a Wonderful Life
Some Like it Hot
WC Fields & Mae West


I am certain there are others, but since we had B & W TV, it was hard to know if a film was color. I probably saw "The Wizard of Oz" 7 times before I finally saw it in color.
