    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.

      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

      Movies/shows I can still see many times today:

      • Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind - it’s just so nicely structured, you always notice something new
      • Glengarry Glen Ross - I finished watching it for the first time and I thought go myself “fuck, I could watch it again” and I did, watch the whole movie again straight away. I can still just go back and watch it. The acting is so amazing it never gets boring
      • Veep - best show ever, I’ve seen every episode probably over 10 times and I still watch it all the time, like when I’m cooking or something. It’s just soooo fucking perfect

        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.

      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.
