Like for example if you were little and saw a movie that wasn't age appropriate, a lot of stuff went over your head, so you watch it again and it is funny.

I probably could watch any movie by DreamWorks Animation or Pixar over and over.

If the movie is really bad, you don't want to watch it more.
But if the movie is complicated like Matrix, you have to watch it more to get it.
And if the movie owns, you can watch it many times

I hope someone understands when I say that I can't enjoy a movie until I watch it once or twice. Maybe one time will do it if I watch it in a theatre and the movie's good enough to keep my focus or has a farely simple premis. If I'm watching at home though, I usually have to watch a movie twice, maybe three times to get the theme and the feel of it. Then I deside if it was worth it,and if it was any good, by seeing if the idea of watching it again sometime revolts me.

Can you? Can you? Can you watch a movie more than once?!
You bet I can! You bet it can be done!
Wow, I've watched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy WAY more than
once. Maybe almost a hundred times. I like it so much.

You can, but watching it the second time, you already know the outcome and what is going to happen.

I always enjoy watching a movie a second time. Sometimes there are easter eggs that you didn't see/hear before. Like when I watched Toy Story again, I noticed that Slinky was a force-field dog in the very beginning, and Rex was a dinosaur who eats force-field dogs. Those roles were utilized again in the beginning of Toy Story 3


Yes, sometimes, when I watch a movie the first time, I don't understand some scenes of it as clearly. When I watch it the second time, I understand it more.

I usually watch a movie once. After a few years or so, maybe i want to watch it again. But usually only once.

really depends on the movie. some movies I have only seen once. Some movies I have seen like 2 or 3 times, but there are certain movies I've seen or 15/20 times and they are still entertaining.

Not ALL movies should be watched again, but some are just so awesome or confusing you have to watch again.

Examples:
Transformers
Transformers Dark Of The Moon
Inception
All ANIMATED Disney movies(meaning Hercules, Mulan, etc.)
And quite a few others that would take me forever to list so I won't.
