Watch, Repeat
I started this group because I realized that a few other Spout members had begun to use a tag I think I started ("watch-repeat"). I invited you to the group. Also because I had started a few personal lists which seemed to apply, and I wondered how other people felt about watching films again.
It's interesting how your experience with a film can change over time. I'm quite certain that the evolution of Cable TV, HBO, VHS, DVD, etc., has changed our perception of film. Tom Cruise annoys me as much as he does everyone else, but my wife and I will put up with that grin to catch the choice Jack Nicholson bits in A Few Good Men as it endlessly loops on TBS or wherever.
Some films tend to get better upon repeat viewing, others get worse. Perhaps it's a function of my mood, timing, my own maturity, or who I'm with. Or maybe it's an aspect of the film itself. I'm not sure how many times I've seen Caddyshack, but can it be refuted that it gets better every time?
