Do you watch movies twice in one seating?

I usually do because I would want to understand the plot of the movie and see if I missed out on anything.

That Depends on the movie and if it was worth watching in the first place! There's not many movies that I would sit through again directly after the first time-at least, I've never done this at the cinema!(Not counting "Continuous performance" showings...with those,I'd have left after the point where I came in if I'd missed the start!) I don't think I've done this with many of my DVD's,either,but most of them would be movies I've seen in cinema first and then wanted in my collection,so didn't need the repeated viewing.."Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" would be one movie for the repeated viewing category-I got it on the basis of a recommendation,and the twists of the story needs a second viewing! I have to mention I went to see Joss Whedon's "Serenity" Movie in the Cinema when it was on release,and came away wanting more,so ordered the (Cancelled?!) TV series box set of "Firefly" on which the movie was based..I watched the entire series within 48 hours (I had to go to work,otherwise it would've been quicker!)and I went right back to watch again with the DVD features enabled (Commentaries,subtitles,extras,easter eggs..)that has been my biggest repeat viewing experience so far...

That is a very good answer. It's very complete and not just a one liner like most responses in My Lot. Good job man.

I don't usually. But there are times when I do get to see it again.Sometimes the movie will re air and I will see it. Most of the time when I see a film on tape or on DvD , I will rewind certain scenes and see them again.

I don't but my husband has done this before by watching the same movie back to back.. I will watch a movie then maybe the next day watch it again but I can't watch it back ti back unless I left and didn't see pretty much most of the movie.

It depends when I have the time and of course if the movie is very good. Now that I am working I barely have time to watch a movie much more watch it twice. Well, it is really different nowadays that we are working, time is very valuable. But if the movie is very nice, I usually buy a disc so that I could have it for collection and watch it from time to time.

Whenever I was around five or six, I could sit down and watch The Lion King or Aladden multiple times without even moving. I can't do it now. Probably because I don't find any movies the caliber of The Lion King. ha ha ha

Nope, i will never do that because it's gonna be very boring.. lol =D ANd i wont have the patience to watch all over again right after the movie has ended.. All i know is that, i will fast forward the whole movie to its exciting parts and watch them instead.. lol =D Thus in order for me to really understand the movie, all i need are subtitles ^_^ If i can read, then i wont have any much problem in understanding the plot ^_^

No I dont. I tend to watch a movie then leave it. sometimes i have to watch it again at a different time but i just cant stand sitting through the same movie so close together.

I used to when I was young and if the movie was really good. Now I no longer have the time or the desire to sit and watch a movie for 3 hours or more.

No,I have never done that.I feel it will be very boring to do something like that.Moreover I am not that patient so I lack the desire to watch a movie again and that also in one seating.I don't think I will ever try that even.
