To watch the same films over and over

[stuffedauberginexmasdinner]

Titanic's on just now. Never even really liked it in the first place but I've still seen it 10-20 times!

There are probably 100 films I've seen 100 times.

DP thinks this is mad but it's not that unusual is it? (DS is exactly the same)

I have hardly seen any films compared to most people, but the few favourites I have, I've seen many times.

Not at all. I must have seen Mary Poppins and the Sound of Music hundreds of times (Julie Andrews obsesson, sorry).

I, too, have seen Titanic more times than is strictly necessary even though I have a pathological hatred of The Winslet Woman. It's just one of those films that you can't turn off once it's on.....

Not at all how do you think people can copy the dialogue word for word as they so often do.

I'm not too sure the highly depressing Titanic can fit into this catagory but many do.

Maybe I don't have room to talk as I have seen the lord of the rings trilogy about 30 times (sorry I just love it)

No, quite normal.

Stardust, with Claire Danes, Robert DeNiro, Michelle Pfeiffer - I know the script.

All of the Bourne films too.

Weird not to.

oh yes Jason Bourne I love Jason Bourne I always watch them when they're on I am even considering buying the boxset just so I don't have to wait for when they're back on tv

i'm like that with close encounters

pan that is super camp you pansy

I'll take that as a compliment, sea.

i have watched Some Like It Hot, Goodfellas, Carlito's way, E.T., The Jungle Book, The Muppet Movie and When Harry Met Sally many many times and never get bored of any of these films

oh and Beaches. [just to confirm pansy status]

Yes me too, Mary Poppins, S of M, Annie, Oliver, Chitty....spot a theme here! Aristocrats & Ponyo becoming close to this status.

And Bourne, x 3, Local Hero & Gregorys Girl. Could easily spend a weekend watching them all & not get bored.

We have what we call our ''Fallback Films'' that end up getting stuck on time and again when TV's rubbish, but I don't repeatedly watch anything if I don't really like it.

I'm like this too. Recently I seem to watch Hot Tub Time Machine and Zombieland every time they are on sky.

YY to multiple watchings of Poppins, Chitty, Sound of Music, stardust, carlitos way along with Never Been Kissed, the faculty and loads of others

I love 'never been kissed'! Such a cute film!

Um, yes.

I also love Stardust and Beaches, Pan !

"Be sure to keep in touch, CeCe, 'kay?"
"Well sure...friends, aren't we?"

I think anyone who has children is very familiar with watching the same film over and over again :)
For myself I don't tend to watch films more than once or twice, I don't enjoy them as much if I know what is going to happen.

Yvainne: "What do stars do best?"

Cpt Shakespeare: " Well it certainly isn't the waltz."

I watch films over and over , If interview with a vampire comes on tv i get escited and squeal a bit , chilrdren wil watch the same film over and over , Oh DD2 is 13 and loves stardust shes obsessed with it , and will watch it over and over and even when it was on tv she watched it and shes got the dvd , ive seen stardust at least a dozen times ,

The only film I watch again and again is "Cool Runnings", even if I do have it on dvd.

I don't watch many films but I have lots of box sets and I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched "Jonathan Creek". It's my favourite series of all time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one then.

As for not wanting to rewatch films where you know the ending, I don't really like watching things where I don't know the ending. If its not a good ending then I've wasted 2 hours. I don't like sad, open or scary endings so it's quite comforting to know that there aren't going to be any surprises and that I'll get a satisfactory conclusion.

There is a pattern here of rewatching musicals- for me it's Grease, SoM, Annie, Chicago, etc.

Also most films of Drew Barrymore, Winona Ryder, Steve Martin, 80s comedies and teen films a la John Hughes.

Not things I don't like but things I do like I watch a lot, it's easy comfort viewing.

I love musicals and bipopics with music in it , (Ray , walk the line ,) I love those and i watch them if i see them advertised on tv , also grease is a given i first saw it in 1970 odd and have seen it hundreds of times , also dirty dancing , when i go to my friends for the weekend we have a DD night with booze and patrick swayze ,

Me too. My regular viewings are also Mary Poppins, S of M, Beaches, Grease and Dirty Dancing...'nobody puts Baby in the corner.' Love it!
