In general, do you watch movies more than once?

I'm curious about this. There are some of my favorite movies that I of course own on DVD or blu-ray and I rewatch tons of times and will in the future.

However there are other movies where I feel like they're, "good just to watch once" type movies and I have no desire to see them again. And I actually enjoy these movies...but I just don't feel the need to buy them on DVD or watch them again down the road.

There are so many movies I've seen in theaters that I never buy afterward and never rewatch. How often do you do this?

^^I feel the exact same way. But I figured most people feel similar.

I'm more likely to re-watch a movie than a tv show since movies are 3-4 hours long at best.

I must have watched Space Jam and the original Toy Story 20 times each lol

Ditto. I don't get what's so hard to understand about that.

If it's one of my all time favorites, than I'll definitely buy the blu ray and watch it several times. However, if it's a movie that was good but not one of my favorites, then I most likely won't buy the blu ray but if it's on TV or something then I'll watch it again.

I've seen each Toy Story movie about 30-40 times each...and I can already tell that I'll be doing the same with Frozen as soon as that comes out on blu ray...

I only watch a movie once, The reason cause you don't get that same feeling seeing a new movie for the first time, Because you already know what happens.

You can say this for anything ever, like any TV show or videogame too.

Absolutely. I buy nearly all of the movies I really like, even if I have to wait for it to wind up in Wal-Mart's 5$ bin. I don't even know how many times I've re-watched Spaceballs (read my sig!) or The Princess Bride- my two faves of all time. I DO know I've seen Spaceballs enough times to be able to quote the ENTIRE movie from start to finish. Seriously. (My husband hates this.)

Mind, there are plenty of movies I've seen, enjoyed, but would probably not watch again unless they were on TV, but I do like to just randomly pick out a flick to watch sometimes, so it's nice to have a decent selection to fit my moods.

I do buy the bluray of movies I seen in the theater, And What I usually end up doing the most, is watch all the special features and sometimes watch the movie with the audio commentary on.

Its one of those things where, Even if you seen the movie, But would like to own it because, you would own a piece of film history.

Lol, I've done that a few times, too. I'll get on a kick where I'll watch an entire movie series in a single sitting, or over a few days, just because I'm in the mood for that particular series.

I have some that I re watch and never get tired of, the Harry Potter flicks for example. Even though the films are not nearly as good as the books they have a lot of fun things too that you miss out from the books.

Animated, Recess Schools Out is a fun one or The Chipmunks Adventure? One Piece movie six in my opinion is a classic

Land before Time?

I have a lot that I watch once, can't remember them right now

More often than not I will only watch a movie once. I have some exceptions. For example, I like comedies and find that those are some of the best movies to re watch and I will re watch classics like Die Hard, Star Wars, some super hero movies, etc. I bought a bunch of my favorite movies on blu-ray a few years ago and sort of regret it because I thought I would re watch a lot of them but just don't have the desire to. I don't really buy movies anymore, I rent them. I will say though that if I am flipping through the channels and catch one of my favorite movies on cable it is easier for me watch that movie again. Another reason I don't often re watch movies is because I don't have a lot of time and sort of feel like I am wasting it if I am watching a movie I have already seen.

Depends on the film I suppose. There's a couple that if in flicking through the telly and come across, I'll put on even though I've got them right there on DVD/blu-Ray... Alien, Kill Bill(s) and Pulp Fiction come to mind.. The last time I watched a film multiple times in a short space of time was Scott Pilgrim, 3 times in a week to show different people how awesome it is!
