Do you ever watch a movie you have already seen?

Do you ever rent a movie or flick over to a channel and say you want to see this movie and then half way through you start remembering what happens and that you have seen it before? Then you become really dissappointed but you have to finish watching it or it was just a waste of time? I guess I do this all the time. I can't remember the names of movie that I watch. What about you?

Yes i do but very few movies. There are so many movies which are really worth watching as many times as you can.

How about Broken Arrow and Face Off. I think they are really good movies and worth watching again.

Yes, I have done this a couple of times.. Sometimes it gets funnier, than other times, it can get boring.. But, I do know what will take place in the movie. The person whom has not seen it before will be clueless..

Yeah thats why I buy movies so I can watch them more then once. Like if theres a movie I liked at the theators and it comes out on dvd I will see it again. But I usally watch movies that ive seen once every couple of months since I dont feel like watching it again for awhile after ive seen it.

Oh I've done this a couple of times and it can be frustrating especially if I've rented it. Of course I'll finish watching it cause I've paid for it. If its just a tv channel I'll look to see what else is on, if nothing else is on than I'll finish watching the movie.

Well, I always watch movies over and over again. LOL And there are some movies that I *love* to watch time and time again. Then sometimes I will be watching a movie on lifetime or some channel on tv and I will be like, oh wow, I've seen this before. haha But usually if I bother to start watching it, I watch the whole thing and usually at least enjoy it a little, actually sometimes I even notice new things in the movie that I didn't notice before.

Yea. Lots of time. I enjoy watching movies or animes/cartoons that I like many times. There are many cartoons/animes which I have watched for around 5 times. One movie which I remember very vividly is Titanic. I watched it 4 times. Twice in the theaters and twice at home. I think this is my record for a movie.

I sure do! If it was a good ovie..and especially is I own it I might watch it quite a few times! NAW..I think it is only entertainment. I don't think it's a waste of time.

No I don't I think it's a waste of time. I'll only watch the movie again if it's showing on TV and I have nothing else to watch. I want to watch the same movie twice maybe after a year so that it won't be fresh anymore. I'll also get to enjoy it more because I'll view the characters different or understand the story in a different context.

If the movie is good I will watch it over and over again. I have even purchased a few movies for the main purpose of being able to watch it when I would like to. I like movies so I always remember the ones I have watched and the ones I haven't. I only like watching movies when there are not interruptions by commercials.

Hi I watch movies which I have already seen. Sometimes this may be because I like the movie and it is worth to watch again and sometime I may forgot that I have already seen it before.
