What kind of insight? |

I don't get why you would watch a movie more than once.
Maybe 5+ years later because you were drunk or something and you don't remember it anyway. But rewatching a movie you actually remember? Do you read your newspaper twice each day?
I just don't get it. I guess you'll say you get 'pleasure' out of watching it again. But.. you know what's gonna happen! Why why why would you watch it again???
This conundrum frazzles my brain every time I think about it. Go read a book or watch a new movie goddamnyou! (and no, don't RE-read The Catcher in the Rye again you psycho) |
Good comedies are few and far between. No matter how many times I watch The Big Lebowski, Airplane!, and Spinal Tap, I always get a laugh.
Then there are movies like The Shawshank Redemption or The Royal Tenenbaums that I don't necessarily throw in my DVD player (or even own) but if they happen to be on TV I will always stop what I'm doing and watch. |

| Clerks, still my favourite movie with some of the best dialogue I have heard. It is a shame that Kevin Smith can't make a movie like this, he has made movies that are decent or close but as brilliant. If someone mentions Clerks 2, it is not fit to eat at the same table as the original. |

| I watched Star Wars a bazillion times as a kid. To this day if I happen to catch it on somewhere I can recite the dialogue along with the characters line for line. I don't intentionally watch it at all anymore. |

Aliens
It's all about the lock and load elevator scene for me. I had also tied my guns together when I was a mere child.

Why look at a painting twice? Why listen to the same song more than once? Why bother ever having sex again once you pop your cherry?
I can see where you're coming from (a friend of mine feels the same way), but I still find it a completely baffling line of thinking. |
Looking at a painting twice takes me a few seconds or minutes, not 3-4 hours  And later viewings do not take 90 minutes at a time. Unless you're one of the unique breed of slow people who think they're artistic by staring at a painting for 90 minutes when in fact for 89 minutes they're thinking about espresso and cigars and pastis and maybe some absinthe or crack cocaine.
A pop song.. I don't know about you, but most of us are doing other stuff while we listen to music; multitasking. Unless you're on drugs. And I don't know about that.
Sex: Well if you think the 100th time having sex is as good as the 100th time watching Spaceballs there's something wrong (right?) with your TV set. |

Call me crazy, but I think people voluntarily do things more than once because they like that activity. I'm no astro-physicist or anything, so don't quote me. |

I watched the first clip. I did not watch the second one.
Umm does nostalgia for sh$t make one appreciate it more??
If that's better than sex.. then... sex is better than you. You shall have none. Ever. But enjoy your balls. The Space ones, not the real ones. |

No, it's because they haven't done a cost/benefit analysis and really considered the opportunity cost of watching a crap movie for the billionth time in some sad nostalgic pseudo-trip into their dull (but exciting at the time!) undergraduate days. |
