Yeah, it seems that way. like at our core of how we approach movies is just too different when we get to the basics on how we see movies as a whole.
come to think of it... maybe I should make a poll around here just to see what people think about this whole re-watch stuff. I could make a very simple poll like... "Do you re-watch movies?" with a simple 'Yes' or 'No' answer but I would rather have a little more detailed one of maybe something like... "How often do you re-watch movies?" with multiple choices like... never, rarely, 1-5 a month, 6-10 a month, etc etc.
but anyways, while I can't say for sure... my best guess is that people who watch a lot of movies in general probably re-watch a good portion of movies especially after they have seen plenty of movies because I just don't understand how someone could barely re-watch any movies as I would have to assume just about anyone who gets into movies would at least re-watch some of their favorites here and there at the very least. because, maybe it's just me, but after you have seen plenty of movies it just becomes difficult finding movies of any real worth that you have not already seen which is why I re-watch plenty of movies that I consider favorites etc as it keeps movies as a whole interesting for me. so for those, like you I assume(?), who don't have that general mindset... it's hard for me to see things from their point of view especially given the vast majority of movies are nothing special.
like just say there is roughly high thousands range (say 5000-9999) of movies out there (I know there is more but once you remove complete crap that almost no one likes from the equation I would assume the field to choose from is a lot less)... how many of those are of any real worth? ; not many as only about 8-9% of everything I have seen is good enough for me to call a favorite and about 11% that's close to favorite level and about 26%-ish MAX are good enough for a Thumbs Up. I realize that some people are more easily pleased than I am when it comes to movies, and that's fine, but even amongst these people they got to draw the line somewhere which is why I generally go back to the re-watch thing to determine what really stands out for them vs what's does not etc. you get the gist.
In a basic sense... it seems so. but my guess is you don't praise it as much as I do given it's within my Top 26 movies. or are you in the ball park of that?
I guess I could agree on this on some level as I think I got some general idea on when a movie is well made etc vs when it's not and is your cheap dime-a-dozen level movie and the like played on generic TV channels etc.
We are basically just way too different too be able to agree on much.

We both seem to like Jerry Maguire though.

I mean they are objective to a point.
