Have you ever: seen a movie, walked out of the theatre, went to get tickets and went back to see the same movie again? Or saw the same movie more than once (at the cinema) within 24 hours?
Or am I the only weirdo here?
I have done this three times in my life. One was with Seven Psychopaths, and the other one was John Wick and the Departed. I would have probably done it with the Last Temptation of Christ too, but that was before my time…

I've stayed to watch a movie twice a few times when I was a kid, over 50 years ago.
I can't remember which ones. I think 'Mr. Sardonicus' is one.

In the olden days before multi-plexes you could pay for your ticket and stay from the time the theater opened until they closed the doors up after the last show. So. YES. Every Saturday pretty much all day : Two Features, umpteen cartoons and short subjects, a box of jujubes and root beer barrels. A soda and of course some All for about 50 cents, tops. Oh. BIG SCREEN too.

Always seemed like a good idea to me… I often go see two movies in one day. But I always need to make sure the second one is the better one out of the two..

No. I have never seen a movie at the movie theatres more than once. I have re-watched a lot of movies on videos, DVDs and Blu Ray and TV multiple times but I only go to movie theatres to see new movies I haven't seen before. I don't think you are a weirdo for doing it though and I know other people who have seen the same movies a few times but when it cost over $30 for my Wifey and I to see movies I just feel it is a waste of money seeing the same one a second time.

NoraYes. We would see the two features etc more than one time in the same day and we didn't have to pay again to see them again. Even in the big theaters where the first run movies were shown with no second film, you could stay and see it as many times as you wanted. So seeing the same movie more than once in the same day was a common practice.

Did it a few times when I was like 14. Realized early on it made no sense. It's like finishing a book, then immediately re-reading it.

I have a "reward" card to the cinema I go to for most things, and with my frequency of seeing movies, I get free tickets (and free drinks etc) very quickly, so overall it's not so bad. Plus I go to a lot of matinee shows during the weekdays so then your normal ticket is like 8 or 9 bucks. I don't like watching movies at home. TV shows? Yeah. All the time. But to me movie deserves a really big screen. Plus I like the feeling I support movie makers and my local cinema, by being such a frequent spender there… But I get it, money can be tight or people would prefer to spend it another way. Understandable.

would be interested to know which movie or movies prompted you to do that, if you remember and care to share?

I have definitely never walked right back in to the theater and seen the same moving right after seeing it for the first time.
I think I've only ever seen two movies in the theater more than once. Terminator 2 and The Phantom Menace, lol.

But sometimes I can catch older movies at the cinemas, so I finally saw The Graduate on the big screen last month, and Princess Bride. Maybe one day I will be lucky to see Terminator and Aliens on a big screen too…

I was too young to see the second one in theaters too technically, but my parents took me. I had a VHS copy of the first one was just obsessed with it. My parents were divorced and I was supposed to go see it with my dad, but I couldn't wait, so my mom took me. I then went to see it again with my dad.

My brother and I saw Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, went to the snack bar, then watched it again.
I also saw Total Recall with one brother, then went back the next night with a different brother.
To this day Total Recall and STAR WARS are the only films I saw three times during their initial run.
( I saw STAR WARS a fourth time in 1997 )

( I saw STAR WARS a fourth time in 1997 ) love it. would totally go see Total Recall twice in one day too if i could… I am hoping they will do a Star Wars marathon again here in NYC for the next installment. I missed it the last time around, but would really enjoy, at least the original 3 in a row…
