The same applies to all fictional videos meant for entertainment, including TV show episodes, video game cutscenes, etc.
Whether or not I like a movie is entirely based on re-watch patterns, every one is different, e.g. some I only like every second time I watch it. I don't think there are any movies I always like, or any I always dislike, it always follows a pattern.
No, I'm not autistic. I don't choose to like or dislike movies, it just happens. And by the way, when I say "dislike", that doesn't always mean I don't find it entertaining. But when I say "like", that always means watching the movie simply has a good feeling, kinda like eating food that tastes really good.

I agree with your basic point in that movies are ultimately made or broke depending on whether they are worth re-watching or not as it's at the very core of how I rate movies, as in a very basic sense it's like this for me... -6/10 or higher = Thumbs Up (will re-watch) -5/10 or less = Thumbs Down (won't re-watch(with rare exception)) but with that said... anything I score a 7 or higher is good enough to be among my favorite movies (which is only 157 movies at the moment out of the 2,300+ total movies I have seen). 6-6.5/10's are movies a bit shy of favor movie status for me (which is an additional 35 movies at the moment). although to comment on the rest of what you said... now that's weird. because while some movies decline for me on re-watches it's not often ill dislike something (i.e. I score a 5/10 or less) and then give it another chance. but even movies that have declined on re-watches for me, as long as I still mildly enjoy them (i.e. 6/10) they will remain re-watch worthy for me. That's the weird part. are you telling me that ALL movies you have seen, even though you currently like some and dislike some that some of those you like, you end up disliking on re-watches and those you dislike, you re-watch, and some of those you end up liking? because for me once a movie falls before a certain point I no longer enjoy it and it's not worth re-watching. although... in my 'rare exception' comment, there have been occasions where I once liked a movie and it dropped back to say a 5/10 for example, which is a Thumbs Down, but some odd years later I decided to give it another chance and sometimes I still don't like it but I have seen an occasion where ill end up liking it enough to where it's worth re-watching again and I bump up my score to say a 6/10. I see. I get your basic point here as you either like a movie or don't in very simple terms. because it's like when I rate movies... I wish I rated more movies really high, but I simply don't enjoy that many movies to a higher degree and my scores tend to reflect that fact as there is only 157 movies out of the 2,300+ total I have seen that stand out from the pack (there is an additional 35 movies that are close to favorite movie status though). so one could basically say only about 6.8-8.3% of all movies I have seen stand out from the pack. with that said about 21% tops of everything I have seen is worth re-watching. A bit of a contradiction there as if something is entertaining for that viewer then one can't dislike it since entertainment is at the core of what makes movies work or not as once a movie reaches a certain level of overall enjoyment it gets a Thumbs Up. if it fails to reach a certain level (as in a certain level worth re-watching) then it ultimately gets a Thumbs Down in my book. it's a nice/simple and logical way of rating movies  like I always say... whether a movie works or not ultimately comes back to some emotional response in some form or another if gives the viewer. |

What do you mean "explain?"
Everybody is different.
There. Explained.
Is this something that is bothering you or something?

Always consider the circumstances... Maybe one viewing, you didn't sleep well, or were in a bad mood. Or many other things, maybe subconscious. Lately, I've been avoiding re-watching certain movies because I want my memory of them to remain great, and I've always preferred to be surprised by watching a movie I've never seen before.

I can't explain it but I'm fascinated to hear about it. I'm willing to bet any number of us have our little movie-watching eccentricities. My sister-in-law talks to them: "Oh, no, honey, don't do that; you know better" or "Look under the rug, he hid it under the rug!"
My brain works this way: it splits in two. Half of it gets completely lost in the story, reacting to everything just the way the writers and director intended, and the other half is constantly critiquing and evaluating: "I would have held that shot a second longer;" "I wonder what lens they used there;" "They should have had the lab redo that traveling matte work;" "How did they manage to get that lighting?"
There's another thing that happens. By now, I have pretty much every film I want on DVD or Blu-ray, but when I go to the shelves looking for something to watch and my eye falls on one of my favorites, like Sunset Blvd, it's like the whole film flashes through my head in a split second, and I don't watch it because I feel like I've just seen it. But if I turn on the TV the very next day and one of the movie channels is running it, I'll watch it to the end, whether it's a minute from the start or a minute to the finish.
See? Your brain's not the only weird one.

Maybe the first time your brain is mostly taking in the visuals, and the second time paying more attention to the story in conjunction with the visuals. Of course, the way each individual views and deciphers lakes and dislikes is different based on both inherent and learned behaviors.
