Watching movies you have already seen

So many times when I am watching a movie, there comes a time in the movie when I say, “I have seen this one already.”
Be it scene or a line of dialogue that jogs my memory, I usually say, “What is the use of watching it again if I have already seen it”?

Even though I did not remember watching it previously, most times I turn it off.
Rather strange really. Don’t remember but still turn it off.

Yeah, sometimes I know I’ve seen it, I know it’s good, I don’t remember what happens until after it happens. Sometimes I will watch it, sometimes not.

There’s one or two movies I really like and have watched more than once … Terminator with Arnie,… ‘I’ll be back!’ … Schindlers List.

There are certain films, the more you watch them the better they become!

If I want a laugh there are some films I return to you often,I enjoy re-visiting some scenes.
eg:Its a mad mad mad mad world, a shot in the dark,ask a policeman,airplane,etc.None of them subtle :grinning:

I tend to remember all the films I have seen through to the end, helped by my large stash of DVD’s. But sometimes, there may be something on the telly such as a film which may not have taken my interest at the time, but when repeated later, I will think I have already seen it, or parts of it - which may be partially due to me falling asleep when it’s on. This is more applicable to my wife’s film collection as she likes old scratchy black-and-white films which are of little or no interest to me. More so when they start showing those cheesy cheap Christmas romance films some months before Christmas.

Can’t think of any reason to watch a film twice, unless you fell asleep and missed a bit.
Having said that, there are a couple of early James Bond films I’ve watched again, purely because the first time I saw them I was very young and they made an impression on me, so I wanted to see if they really were that good when I (hopefully) became more mature.
I just don’t understand people who have large collections of DVD’s or videos, I mean, how many times do you need to see a film before the plot wears out or you know all the jokes or scares and when they’re going to happen

I certainly wouldn’t class Vincent Price’s acting as subtle, far from it! :slightly_smiling_face:
His acting, Edgar Allan Poe’s story and Roger Corman’s direction, quite a combination. Not many cheerful laughs in this one! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Is it possible to wear out a DVD :thinking:
