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.  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 thereā¦ But I get it, money can be tight or people would prefer to spend it another way. Understandable.  |

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 ) This is my brother Ackbar and my other brother Ackbar. |

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 timeā¦ As some people have mentioned, back in the "pioneer" days, I sat in the theater (and it WAS a "theater"!) and stayed through multiple showings. Usually just leave to let the ushers clean up and then go right back in and watch the movie(s) again. |

Sydney they can go up to $40 a ticket.
ā¦ randomly get up in a movie and come over and sit next to you if the seat is blank and you will be half way through a movie and they will want to start conversations with you or put their arm around you. WTF on both of the points above. Thats one odd place you live in, it seems. :-) |

I used to buy a movie ticket early afternoon, then spend the day crashing 3-4 movies. I liked Cabin in the Woods enough to sit through twice. Ironically, I haven't seen it since then.

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. I recall in the early or mid 1970s my family going to see "That's Entertainment" (or maybe the second one, but I think it was the first one). I'm not sure if it was more than just myself and my parents, I don't recall if any of my siblings went that night. WE arrived during a showing about 1/2 way through the film. After that showing we stayed for the next showing (same film) and I think we left sometime after wherever it was during the film we had come in and we were sure we had seen the full film.
IT was back when you could stay all day. They would let you in while the film was going on. Any one who was being rude or making any unnecessary disruptions were escorted out by the ushers with their flashlights. Back in the days when there were curtains on the screens. Between showings the curtains were closed then when the projector was started up the curtains opened. At the end of the movie, usually during the end credits the curtains would close. |

klandersenAlways Red Velvet or Maroon Curtains.
I got to go behind the screen once while the picture was showing. Was THAT ever cool !
When I went to see 2001, the picture was playing but I knew it was near the end of the movie so I waited in the lobby. I heard THE music but no one came out of the theater so I kept waiting. After seeing that it was way past start time I peeked in. Turns out that they play the same music at beginning and end and there was no one else there to see the picture. When it was over, I had to stay to see how it had started.

I've seen the same movie more than once at the theatre (a lot lately since I didn't love watching movies as much 3 years ago as now), but never within 24 hours. Maybe it's a fun idea if you really loved a movie, but unfortunately I don't have unlimited money and if I have to choose between seeing different movies of the same multiple times, I would choose the first option. It's also that often I go with other people to watch a movie and they don't want to watch it again, so maybe it'll happen one time when I watch a movie alone.

WTF on both of the points above. Thats one odd place you live in, it seems. :-)  The country that now officially has the highest power prices in the world, the third most expensive housing market in the world, the third slowest internet speeds in the world and everything is shrinking in size and doubling in price including cough medicine. Ohh and we STILL can't get married here or have our marriages acknowledged 'cause out backwards government is full of homophobic turds who are threatened by same sex marriage and want to control us.  |

Of course not. Why would I feel the need to do such a thing?

I personally felt the need to do such a thing when the movie was thoroughly great and so intensely enjoyable that it made me want to get another fix of those same chemicals in my brainā¦ right away. thats how I see it. poor self-control and the need for instant gratification? yeah, that will be itā¦ |

I would have probably done it with the Last Temptation of Christ too, but that was before my timeā¦ I wouldn't do it with a film with a plot/story. I prefer not watching films with a story again unless I've forgotten most of the details, if not more or less the whole thing. Of course, I remember many details of the handful of films I've seen 3+ times, but that's one reason there aren't many films I've seen multiple times. The vast majority of films I've only watched once. At any rate, I did see Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same multiple times during the two weeks of its initial theatrical release. I probably saw it seven times in those two weeks? And then I saw it another 20-30 times in theaters over the course of maybe 8 years as a midnight movie--midnight movies on Friday and/or Saturday nights were a big thing for awhile during the later 70s and into the 80s. And then I've owned it on VHS, DVD and now Blu-Ray. |
