Topic: How often do you watch your favorite movies?

Every 6 months? Every Year? Every few years? I guess it depends on how many favorite movies you have and how much movie watching time you have.
I would personally like to be able to watch my favorites once every year, but that is not possible with my lifestyle. A small amount of movies I can do this with, but not as many as I would like to.
Would you get sick of watching the same movies over and over?
How long have you gone between viewings of some of your favorite movies?

Not sick - bored.

Logan 5, so I gather that you don't rewatch very often? Do you have a lot of movie watching time these days? Do you watch a lot of post-80s movies, or are you more 80s-centric like CrashesParties n TheValley?

CPnTV, it sounds like we share the same view. I stick to mostly 80s, so any time I do watch something, it's gonna be from the 80s. I agree that certain movies have their own season attached to them. For some reason I like to watch The Goonies in the fall usually around Thanksgiving.

I've rewatched most of my favourite movies so many times I only feel the need to see them every year or so now. I had less movie watching time over the last couple of years than ever before, which doesn't help. I watch all kind of movies from all eras.
Goonies is something I watch as a comfort film.

Unfortunately, due to time and too many movies to watch... I neglect the classics. I'm more likely to rewatch TV shows (e.g., Twin Peaks or Square Pegs) than movies for some reason. It may be that I overdid most of the movies when I was younger. However, I can watch Some Kind of Wonderful every year... easily.
It's actually a bit of a regret. In the end, I think the problem is that I would rather watch them with one of my 80's loving friends, but none of us have enough time, so we keep putting it off. For shame...

My favorite movies I mostly watch when they are on TV. Netflix offers some too. It's great, but have you ever turned on Netflix and suddenly thought their is nothing to watch? Am I the only person that does this? Is anyone listening to me?

QUOTE] Agree that it would bealot of fun getting together sometimes to watch an 80s flick with friends from that time. There's just not time anymore.

I do this most of the time, but then once in a while I go to the search and start finding things. Then after I watch a thing or two, their recommendations start bringing in other good stuff.

Don't we all wish we could find the time to get together and have a movie night with friends? Adults don't do this enough. There needs to be a movie night revival. Now that we have big screen tvs and microwave popcorn, it'd be great!

Well, I remember not too long ago there was a time when we here at the rewind got together for a movie night on occasion. Was a totally fun time for all I'm sure. Hope maybe we could possibly do it again in the future sometime.

I typically go in seasons with my movies. Not for everyone of them, but for several. Then when that season hits, I may watch the movie a couple times in a couple months. I then put it away until next year. Examples would be:
Fall: Planes Trains & Automobiles Ghost Busters
Summer: What About Bob Great Outdoors (probably watch that 3-4 times) Summer Rental Field of Dreams Family Vacation Caddyshack
Winter (post Christmas): Baby Boom Groundhog's Day
Christmas: All the 80's Christmas movies
Spring: Major League Breakfast Club
The ones I watch all year (several times) are: Wall Street Funny Farm Goonies BIG
I'm probably missing a few favorites but that is a basic run down.
