The concept of rewatching a movie is almost foreign to me now given that I have access to a library of tens of thousands of movies. It would have to be very good and something that whoever I'm with hasn't seen.
Of course I used to watch the same movie about every month or so back when I was growing up in the 90s.
That's curious because I find I rewatch more movies than ever before, since it's so easy to find them, and I already know whether I like them or not.
The first thing I do when Return of the King ends is put on Fellowship of the Ring.
This you, King? https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/my-precious-canadian-user-watched-lord-of-the-rings-361-times-on-netflix-1.3716170
That does prevent you from finding new movies you like though.
It might, but it definitely hasn't. I work in some fresh blood on the weekends, when I feel up to taking a chance. Actually, I've got a date to go see Dream Scenario (Nic Cage 🥰) just this week.
I have a daughter I enjoy showing movies I've already watched to. So I've been doing mostly rewatching, but with someone who has never seen, for example, Ferris Bueller's Day Off before.
The best was her reaction to Repo Man. We got to the end and she said, "all of that for a flying car?"
This is so sweet. Getting to show cool stuff you like to your kids must be one of the best things about being a parent. If I ever end up becoming one I'll show my kids all the great Pixar movies and also the Emperor's New Groove cause that one is a classic.
It really is, although you have to tailor it to their tastes, which means not showing them some movies you want to. She has absolutely no interest in seeing Star Wars or Indiana Jones movies, for example. But she loves cult movies, so I'm enjoying showing her those.
Life as a repo man is always intense.
I actually listen to Futurama to help me sleep. I've added some other shows I know just as well. They are in that genre of extraordinary media that I can watch/listen to/etc. over and over again.
the fuckin leads are weak? you're weak.
I have trash taste, so I actually just continue to rewatch the same dumb shit I liked in the 90s so I don't have to make a decision. I actually paid real money to buy Not Another Teen Movie a few years back because I rewatch it about once a year. I think we have too many options and they're all on different services so it's like fuck it, Men In Black for the 85th time.
Same. And Demolition Man holds the distinction of being the only movie I rewatched on the same day.
We'd rent The Princess Bride and Flight of the Navigator a few times a year.
I don't think this is a technical limitation, I think young children really like repetition because their brains are still learning how to predict things
To the chagrin of parents who endure Cocomelon or Caillou rerun marathons.
This is true. My little brother watched "The Lion King" every day after school for a few months.
