Watching Movies and Playing Games Over and Over Again.

Do some of you usually watch movies over and over again or play the same video games over and over again?

I found myself watching movies over and over again that at one point I remember all the lines! I also play the same games that I usually remember the lines on them as well. But I have good memory so I don't know lol.

Out of the many movies I have, I usually watch Star Wars Episode V and VI. I also usually play Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (I and II) and several First person shooters on my Xbox.

What about you guys?

Yup.

Generally every time I watch a movie again or play a game again, or even read a book again.. I learn something new and I look at it in new ways. It's never the same experience for me.

Personally, I think that people who can't stand to watch/do the same thing over again are simply not looking deeply enough into what they're watching/doing.

You can ALWAYS gain more information from old sources.

...or at least a new understanding of old information.

I do play videogames over and over, in cycles... I have atendency to do that since I don't like new games.

I don't like the direction videogames are taking these days. It's very commercial, I don't wanna get into it in this thread but... well, the thing is I have my selection and it's extremly hard to find games that are better or as good as those.

With movies it does not happen to me. Yes, I've watched some moves 2 or 3 times but I don't do that very often, I always prefer to look at a new one.

I got a rotation of the old stuff, but I complement both movies and games with new titles every once in the while. I have played BG 2 so many times, 'tho, I can practically remember every line word-for-word, as well as dungeon layouts, magic item locations and such.

I do too. When The Fellowship of the Ring came out, I watched it eight times at the cinema. There are certain favourite DVDs in my flat that I've watched countless times, and know most of the lines to. And I can watch episodes of certain TV shows again and again, usually noticing new details each time.

When it comes to games, I'm always on the lookout for new ones, so I don't have time to replay so much. But I have do admit that I've gone through Dragon Age a few times, because it got me completely hooked.

Yeah I understand that.

Of course, I can't tell you how many times I've watched the Batman movies or Indiana Jones movies, lost count. I'll play video games over and over just to unlock the achievements or if it's a really good game like Batman Arkham Asylum. Played that game on all difficulties and replayed it just recently again. The only time I watch or play a video game once and never again is if it sucks.

Same as me Sci-Fi. It feels weird, because I've already played it and memorized the entire **** movie/game, but I still end up enjoying. Sometimes in a video game, I find new dialogue, quests, items, etc. that I haven't tried before, makes it much more exciting.

i always watch the disney alice in wonderland...for many years

I do both. Mainly because I cannot afford to spend money on new games and films these days. Otherwise I wouldn't do so as much. But I still would with some games and films.
