Paying more than once to see a movie

I know some people who would go to the cinema to see a film, and go again a few days later to watch the same film, because they really enjoyed it...

Personally, I don't really see the point.

Would you do this?

Rarely, but yes, I do it occasionally. That being said, I have to think real hard to recall the last movie that I watched twice at a movie theater ...

And would you do it in quick succession. I can kind of understand it if there's been, say, a month or two between viewings. But if it's just a matter of a few days, I don't really get it.

My answer is short and simple - hell no.

I don't even watch movies that I own on DVDs twice. Once is usually enough for me. The only way I'd watch a movie twice, is if I was introducing a colleague to it, because it was such a perfect film. Even so, it would only pertain to DVDs that I own. I wouldn't shell out top dollar for the same movie. I don't even go to theaters anymore, so the question for me is really, "Would you ever go to theaters to watch a movie?" Laughing

I may have done it in the past, but if I have, then I probably don't need my both hands to count them all.

I don't watch 99% of the movies I see more than once. At least not by my choice. In the past I have gone to see a movie when it came out and then a group of friends would go see it and I would go along, but I would never do it on my own.

I think we all remember the crazyness about Titanic.

That being said, no, I wouldn't pay more than once to see a movie in theatre (it's $10 here in Canada, $6 if you pick some of the cheapest nights).

I, on the other hand, enjoy watching some movies more than once (on DVD for exemple). Some of them are just too god.

Heck, that reminds me of a guy I knew a while back. This was when The Incredibles had just released on DVD. The first time he watched it, he said it was so good, he watched it again on the same day. By the end of his rental, he confessed he'd seen the film about a dozen times and predicted that he'd watch it at least once more before he returns the DVD. He even went as far as musing another 5-day rental, to which he stopped for a second and realized he should just purchase the darn thing.

Yeah, I see the point. I don't watch rental movies more than once, though.

I watch those I have here from time to time. Just not a dozen times a day, now that's an obsession Wink

I can't think of a single film i've seen more than once in the cinema, but i don't often go so i spose that might have more to do with it.

mmm agreed, don't see any point to go to movie theatre to watch more than once. At least in most occasions. Some people might particularly like a movie and becomes a big fan of it probably.

I use to do this when I was a kid. Curiously... when I had less money... but not anymore. I find I don't much like the crowds anymore.
