I don't think I've ever seen the same movie twice in a theater, but I have gone to see movies I first saw on TV or DVD that were re-released for the large screen, like Lawrence of Arabia, Gone With the Wind, and a few silent movies. You know, movies actually worth watching again.

I'm talking about the idea that you *need* to see a film twice or more during its theatrical run before you can even decide if you liked it or not.
