How often do you get the urge to rewatch a movie? - Blu-ray Forum

andytoh · 07-13-2007, 05:26 PM

When a movie is bad, I won't watch it again ever. But if it is ok or good, I find that after about 5 years I want to see it again. Which means that a blu-ray movie for me would cost about $3 per view--not a bad deal.

I had the keep 3 out deal from Bbuster total access, but I recently took it down to keeping one out, w/ unlimited rentals per month, so that I can watch more of my own movies again. I have a list in my head of the movies I really need to watch again.

I re-watch my movies all the time. I'll watch a given movie several times a year. I too have BB total access with 3 rentals at a time. I use that to find movies I really like. I'm pretty picky with my movie purchases. I only buy movies that I think I would re-watch a lot. I don't buy movies that I'll only watch once a year.

I used to watch lock, stock, snatch and the big lebowski 2+ times a month. And for 250 days in a row my friends and I watched christmas vaction.

Kind of a hard question to answer. Depends on the movie. God comedies and action flicks I can watch over and over and over again. But a great drama, I only like to watch once a year or maybe even every other year. Take the Green Mile. If I watched that more once a year, it would lose something with me. But Happy Gilmore or Die Hard, I can watch over and over.

I rewatch movies all the time, but it has to be a good movie. Ofcourse it was 117 degrees today so summer activities mostly indoors

I only rewatch those that I really like. Comedies are usually fun to watch again for me.

Even though I put down 5-6 yrs I thouht that was months. The movies I probably watch the most in 1 year are The Rock, Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop, Batman Begins, High Fidelity and Aliens.

I have movies that I could watch over and over again, but my problem is if I have seen it once I already know whats going to happen and I usually fall asleep.

Man, you guys make me feel so good about myself now. I used to think I was a freak for watching some movies over and over, but now I dont feel bad. Back in my younger days, I lived with 4 of my closest friends. I swear we would watch Mallrats, Happy Gilmore, Pulp Fiction, and Desperado almost daily. We wouldnt even watch regular tv, just always had a VHS in (Yes VHS). Nowadays, I seem to watch the POTCs over and over, and the Mission Impossible movies alot too. But I still say movies like LA Confidential, The Green Mile, and stuff like that, I try to wait as long as possible before I rewatch them. Great thread by the way. I love hearing other peoples thoughts on this stuff.

Add in Clerks, Reservoir Dogs, and T1/T2 and that's me. Man, we're sad...

Any collecter of films rewatches them because the love them! I do all the time and you know what I find new things I missed the first or few times I watched it.

I left out Reservoir Dogs and Clerks. Those were definite staples to our lives as well. Not so much on the Terminators though.
