Uh oh. Is s/he also enneagram 6? Come to think of it, 'City of Angels' should be added to the list, too.
walk the line, i've watched it at least 3 times now.
I wonder how the constructivist/emotivist dichotomy comes into play here.
I can't think of any but when I was younger, I'd rewatch the shit out of movies we rented since we didn't have cable at that time. Now that I'm older, I am less prone to rewatching or rereading something more than once (Hell, I don't even like watching a movie with someone who has already seen it even if I haven't). Exceptions is when I remember enjoying something and think the story is rich enough for me to get something new out of it by watching it again. This is usually with more complex series/movies (whether emotionally, psychologically or philosophically). I'll also reread or rewatch something if it's been awhile and/or I likely forgot the events. I've occasionally restarted series I haven't seen in a while from the beginning if I never completed them and not too sure of what's going on or think I'd get more out of it that way. Did that with Stephen King's "On Writing" book and a manga called Vagabond.
That was the same with my family when I was younger. I have seen so many movies a multitude of times due to the lack of cable and my mother's obsession with visual entertainment and escapism. I generally do not enjoy rereading books or rewatching movies either, I think part of this dislike comes from being forced to when I was younger. I want the freedom to decide what I rewatch/reread. That being said, I can still watch There Will Be Blood over and over again because I truly enjoy the movie as a whole and not because I have no choice. When it comes to books, I absolutely will not reread it unless years have passed between the last read; even if I truly enjoyed it.

There are too many movies to name. I've seen dozens of movies over a half a dozen times.
It's kind of embarrassing when I think about how much time I've spent watching them.
Hmm, I'm never intentionally watching movies for the second time, but here are some of my favourite ones from the top of my head:
City of God
Antichrist
Fargo
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
A Clockwork Orange
Closer
Taxi Driver
Trainspotting
Requiem for a Dream
Nostalgia
The Shining
Amores Perros
Before Sunset
I have seen it probably 4 times, usually when nothing else is on, so I will probably watch it again.

I'm not sure what movie it's from. I retrieved it from Mark Ruffalo's tumblr. But it's so amusing, I can't stop watching it.

I love film. In this scene the "Joker" tells the audience yet another story of how he got his scars. What's the real story? There's some mystery there.

I strongly enjoy characters more than anything in a story. And in these movies that I have and always will enjoy, they hold strong characters in a way that I absolutely love. I never get tired of them for that.
