Been There Seen That

Why is it that we watch the same movies over and over again? I was flipping through the channels the other day and came across a few movies that I have seen a million times and started to watch 10 Thing I Hate About You, then it was The Departed, and moving on to Animal House. I watched each one for about 10 minutes and couldn't stand to watch them anymore as I knew every plot twist and punchline by heart. Yet I can sit and watch other movies like Pretty Woman, Titanic, and Man on Fire over and over again for hours, even though I can probably quote each line on command. So whats the deal guys? Are there some movies you can watch a million times over and others that just bore you? Let me in on the secret because I have some ideas as to why this happens, but would still like to hear what you think........

  1. 10 Things, not Thing. . . make sure you are proofreading, and not falling behind in your posts!

  2. I think it's because these movies bring back good memories, maybe? or they can relate so much to the movies that they internalize it?

    Good question.
