Do you watch a show or movie multiple times, or do you just watch it once?

I usually only watch something once.

If I like it enough (or if it's part of something that I like other pieces of enough), I rewatch.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I watch things over and over if I like 'em. Sometimes it's years between, but most of the time, if I'm gonna put in the time to watch a movie, I'd rather go with a sure thing I know I like than a risk, right.

Shows...same thing. I'm in the midst of rewatching 'Monk' for the third or fourth time. Meanwhile 'House' is right next to it in the Amazon Prime cue, and I've barely watched 'House' ever.

I could go roll the bones on one of the many, many superhero flicks I've missed these past twenty years, or I could go watch 'Mask of the Phantasm' or 'The Shadow' for the millionth time. Gee, which would I rather.

there's something to be said about something i can put on in the background while i do other stuff and not feel like i have to pay full attention to it.

also rewatches let you notice things you didn't notice before when you are watching them.

there are many things i never feel the need to rewatch, but it's a good thing to do overall

I'll rewatch things, sure. Some stuff absolutely deserves multiple viewings. I've made a point to watch more stuff I've never seen before lately, though.
