Have you ever watched the same movie twice in a day?

Are you sure it didn't just feel like you were sitting through it four times?

Maybe when I was a little kid. I can't recall the last time I've done it.

For a radio contest, I sat through Titanic almost 8 consecutive times. 24 hours. About 40 people stayed awake the whole 24 hours. Everyone answered every question about the movie correctly (they quizzed us afterwards). The winner was finally chosen when they started asking questions about the real Titanic. The winning question was, "What was the name of the room where they stored the potatoes?" Only one person knew that. It isn't "galley." He won a cruise.

The Matrix for me as well.

I forgot. When my ex girlfriend broke up with me, I watched Half Nelson over and over again because it always made me feel good about myself for some reason.

I love this movie.

[,deeii]

Nope, never have.

[Captain Kirk]

In theaters:
Titanic
POTC: The Curse of The Black Pearl
The Avengers

At home...all the time. I can't even begin to list them all.

The only time I'll watch the same movie twice in one day is if the second time is w/commentary. I don't want to "kill" a great movie via overindulgence.

As a kid I did this all the time. I'd spend an entire day at the theater going from screen to screen. If I fell in love with a movie I'd sit through it multiple times (Raiders, any Star Wars). Funny how I never got kicked out.
Nowadays, I may rarely watch a movie twice at home but only for commentary which usually means my back is to the screen and I'm just listening while I attend to other tasks.

I'm not sure the commentary re watch qualifies :-)

[seigneur_rayden]

I've done it with several movies.
The few that come to mind are:
-The Dark Knight
- Incredible Hulk
- Transformers 2 and 3
- Wanted

Back in the "good ole days (mid 1980s)," I could sit through double features of various James Bond movies twice in one day at the Harvard Square Cinema. They never seemed to show them in the right order though; Thunderball followed by Dr. No for instance.

I remember being watched by a family friend while my Mom and step father went out one night when I was like 9 and watching Star Trek: First Contact twice within a few hours of each other. Good 'ol HBO East and West. The only other time I did it was the day Dredd hit blu. Showed it to two groups of people.

[Zero_Cool]

I have watched V for Vendetta 5 times on Nov 5th. Kind of a tradition that I do.

[blurayisnice]

yeah, a few times, but can't remember the movies atm

[movieeddie]

back in the day when I was just 12 years old my uncle was a projectionist at this theatre that was just a few blocks from my house.Mom and dad had to both work so the school bus would leave me in front of the theatre so my uncle could take care of me until my folks picked me up.Star Wars played there for over a year and I sat in that theatre to watch it at least twice a day.I must know that film line for line.I love that film but for some reason JAWS is still my #1.As for same day Empire Strikes Back.All 5 showings on opening day and I went back the next day to do the same.The theatre manager gave me a job cleaning the theatre after every show so I didn't have to pay.I became a projectionist myself for over 22 years.Those were the days.

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

Sometimes. I might watch the movie, and than soon after I would watch with the commentary if their was one.

[SpiderRock88]

I did it to a few movies. Off the top of my head. In theaters.

Spider-man 3 midnight, then about 4pm later that day

The Dark Knight Midnight then about 8pm later that night
good times

As for home viewing believe it or not never

[KingRad]

I've watched a movie more than once in a day a few times, those films being GoodFellas, Pulp Fiction, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, and BASEketball.

[seabterry]

BASEketball
Hackers
Disturbing Behavior
Top Gun
Kill Bill Vol 1
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

There have been others. Now I need time alone to think about this.
