How many times do I have to tell you.

Not everyone judges a movie's quality on re-watch value.

True, but for someone who does re-watch shows, which apparently that person does, then clearly re-watch matters for them as it makes no sense to say a show is about on par with another show if you personally don't care for it which obviously this person does not given the re-watch of Jerry Maguire quite a few times as the years passed but does not feel that way on SLP. like I said, that speaks volumes.

the true gems are ones that hold up on re-watches as the ones that do not, simply ain't that great. I can't see how anyone would disagree with my basic point there because when you look at the classics amongst the general public... it's pretty safe to say many of them re-watch those from time-to-time as the years pass. I never understood how someone can praise something only to never see it again as it's like a quality song, you want to experience it again and again as the years pass.

There is a difference between movies not holding up on re-watch and just not having an urge to re-watch the movie.

For me the true worth of a movie doesn't depend on wanting to re-watch it but in how it effected me when I watched it the first time. There might not be any need to re-watch certain movies I love because I carry those movies with me in my mind at all times, they speak to me on a deep personal level and have changed my life in ways. Movies I re-watch the most tend to be for entertainment most of the time, but movies that are mostly fun type movies aren't movies that leave a lasting impression on me even if I tend to re-watch them more than movies I consider great artistic and thematic achievments.

Then there are the many people who judge movies on an objective level. Some people may find Batman & Robin more fun to re-watch than The Godfather for example, but they consider The Godfather the better movie. Even you have to admit that this is a pretty common way of thinking.
