What about re-runs? Which movie have you watched the maximum number of times, and why? Does a movie grab the same attention from you in the 3rd viewing, as it did the 2nd time?

well, like i said - most of the time i'm watching with my family so i see a lot of films i've already seen to show my son.
most times that would be my choice rather than take a chance of something new - i dont know if it's appropriate yet - or if it's crap (we see almost every movie that comes out - and is family friendly)
for re-runs ... some movies get better with each viewing ... some wear thin.
I can watch The Holy Grail over and over, Napoleon dynamite, jay and silent bob strike back - and still laugh at the same parts each time .. but thats kind of rare.
i think this is something you can only do with a comedy ... where shock and suprise isnt part of the desired effect.
all this being said - sometimes technology changes the rules as well....
i've been experiencing movies in HD DVD recently - and they're mostly movies i've seen before - but with the benefit of superb sound and picture quality.
sometimes it's like seeing a brand new movie - sometimes no big difference.
