    In that case, why would anyone ever own books?
    Good point. I don't read fiction that often but once it's red I'll never read it again. I do own many reference books, manuals, education books that do hold a value for looking up information again.

    But then when you watch it again you realise it wasn't half as good as your drug-addled mind made it out to be?
    Exactly, where did all the talking elephants in shawshank redemption go?

    I have a fairly large DVD collection and anytime I go through it I realise what a waste it is.

    There's a small number i'd watch more than once but most I don't want to watch a second time. Never watched any special features or directors commentaries. For the amount I spent on them over the years, they're worth nothing now, you'd be lucky to get €1 each on adverts.

    I buy the odd BluRay now but only when they're really cheap (~€5 per movie) and im sure i'll watch it a couple of times.

    I have all my DVD's on a 3TB drive in my Dune player, so it's easy to watch again.
    I'd only watch Father Ted, Only Fools, Fawlty Towers & Bottom many times, over and over.:)

    re watched wire like 3 times almost in a row,now cant look at it anymore :D also series like sopranos,house or always have something in each episode what you might missed so its kinda cool just to not only watch it again,but understand the idea of the movie or episode that was tried to be portrayed,as when you see something for the first time is like yeah cool episode and then forget about it,to realize after few years that theres another 2 seasons out and story,with characters evolved.but theres not many such gems.example prison brake they made complete $hite out of it after season 3.

    If I buy a dvd of something be it TV show or movie, it is a declaration of intent to watch more than just once or twice. Precisely how many times or how long between rewatching it are subject to whatever the tv show/movie is.

    Old School and Wedding Crashers=perfect hangover tv.

    Goodbye Lenin and The Lives of Others=classics you just have to have and watch again and again.

    Hunger and the like=couldn't watch again. Just too bleak.
