Right now - Harry Potter! :-) But my guess for your question is The Wizard of Oz. It's on tv every year, and tons of the video have been sold (and watched often, at least in our house).

"It's a Wonderful Life"

That one got swatted pretty fast with a correct answer, so let's dig a little deeper: In early laser experiments there was a measurement of strength units known as ________________?

But Mitch, you didn't say WHO got the correct answer! Was it Cheryl with The Wizard of Oz, or Melissa with It's a Wonderful Life?

My favorite movie, Casablanca, with Humphery Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, is number one. It also has the most misquoted movie line in it. Nowhere in that film will you hear, "Play it again, Sam."

Can anyone tell me what's the second most seen film?

I se nobody has any interest it that question; therefore I will just dump that one and state that the early lazer measurement needed to be tested on a product that was available worldwide, a produce with uniform properties turn out to be Gillette razor blades, therefore the measurements were named "Gillettes".
