> Watched... Again! Films We've Already Seen But Just Gotta Watch 'em One More Time.
Overwhelmingly, almost dreadfully, most of the films any of us watch (assuming we don't just walk out or turn them off before conclusion) are worthy of only a single viewing.
The fantastic thread "What's the last film you watched? And rate it!" is full of them.
Many of my own contributions are worthy of "Meh... " responses, thus only a single viewing.
Ever.
But I am increasingly fascinated as to WHY? some films that we know the entire story and scenes and lines and plot twists are coming yet we watch them again for the second, third, or [insert absurd multiple here] time!
Is it technical?
For example, I just rewatched Zack Snyder's '300' to see how they did the greenscreening and lighting.
Or aesthetics?
I also just rewatched Tarsem Singh's 'Immortals' for it's cinematography artwork.
Or you enjoy the story?
Recently rewatched J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek' recently for this reason.
An actor or director's work you wanted to re-see?
I'm just finishing 'Cloud Atlas' and am wondering how this directorial style compares to 'The Matrix' and am considering rewatching the trilogy.
What drew you to rewatch these films?

I'm not necessarily interested in a rating
as I am in a WHY you just watched a film
you've already seen before?
