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 it.
Of course I used to watch the same movie about month or so back when I was growing up in the 90s.
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.

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
I have a daughter I enjoy showing movies I’ve already watched to. So I’ve been doing mostly rewatching, but with someone who has never seen, for example, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off before.
The best was her reaction to Repo Man. We got to the end and she said, “all of that for a flying car?”
This is so sweet. Getting to show cool stuff you like to your kids must be one of the best things about being a parent. If I ever end up becoming one I’ll show my kids all the great Pixar movies and also the Emperor’s New Groove cause that one is a classic.

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.
The first thing I do when Return of the King ends is put on Fellowship of the Ring.
This you, King? https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/my-precious-canadian-user-watched-lord-of-the-rings-361-times-on-netflix-1.3716170
That does prevent you from finding new movies you like though.
Movies/shows I can still see many times today:

Same. And Demolition Man holds the distinction of being the only movie I rewatched on the same day.
We’d rent The Princess Bride and Flight of the Navigator a few times a year.

To the chagrin of parents who endure Cocomelon or Caillou rerun marathons.
