Have you ever loved a movie so much that you saw it two days in a row?
Yes with Pulp Fiction.
I watched it the first time with my girl friends, and I liked it so much, and I knew that my boyfriend at the time would too, so I took him to see it the next night |

I have done it several times. Either gone to see a movie by myself and then the next day with friends. A date and next day with friends, or with family next day with friends. I haven't gone solo twice.
Most recently I saw Revenge of the Sith back to back days, and that was perhaps the last movie I recall seeing in a theater

The first one I can remember doing this for was Animal House. I was in 4th grade, and the first time I saw boobies on screen, plus my sister worked at the theater. Revenge of the Sith was another. Not doing this too often though.

Two days in a row? When I finished watching Serenity on DVD, I started again from the beginning and watched a second time.

I recently saw Prime, and immediately watched it a second time. Partly because it was confusing, but still...

All the time with Harry Potter movies. I'll go first with my family and then with my friends the next night.
Seeing movies more than once in theatres makes me feel like I'm "friends" with them, like I know them better than anyone else in the theatre, haha.

I did it with Return of the Jedi.
Went with family, then with friends the next night. I'm sure I've done it other times, as well. Also, I've sometimes stayed in my seat for a second viewing, when I was an early teen. Quite illegally, too.

Ok, I know someone is going to make fun of me but...
The summer before ninth grade (I was...14 I think) my cousin spent two weeks with us. There wasn't much to do in our town, so she talked me into seeing Encino Man, which I wasn't interested in, but it was better than staying at home. We went, and I developed a crush on Brendan Fraser that would do any teenage girl proud. We went six nights in a row. That's right...six. We would have gone seven, but the theater was closed on Sunday and my cousin left on Monday. I don't think I've seen any other movie two nights in a row since then.

I went to see Matrix two close nights in a row;
I went to see Matrix: Reloaded 7 times in theaters. I think two of those times may be been sequential.

Nope, if I ever watch the same movie twice in a row, I'd probably sleep through it.
But if I'm going with a hot date, I wouldn't mind, even if the show if a load of crap Probably this multiple viewing thingy only works for movie buffs~?

Sure. Many movies, home and theatre. When I was young, because I loved the first time. Now that I'm old, because I forgot the first time.

the theater? rarely... I hate going to the movie theater... If I wanted to be annoyed by a bunch of children, I'd have some...
At home, I'll watch the same movie over and over again, most fo the time it's because i'm multi tasking and rarely pay atttention to the entire movie... Watch it enough and I'll get thru the entire thing. (I'm kinda like TBS on Christmas Day, I'll just play A Christmas Story over and over again, and eventually I will watch the entire movie)

Good point. My last double-trip to a theatre was a very, very long time ago. They're doing well if I make it twice a year, and that's usually at the prompting of young ones.

Embarassingly, I watched Cruel Intentions 2 three times in less than 8 hours on the drunken night that we discovered it at the local video store.
We watched Cruel Intentions 2 once, then watched The Skulls 2, decided that Cruel Intentions 2 was a vastly superior movie (they both star the same actor, humorously enough), watched it again, then different people came to the house and we had to show them how good it was so we watched it a third time. What a night. |

Did it with Girl With a Pearl Earring...loved that movie. Really loved looking at Colin Firth, though.
Did it again with Love Actually...loved that movie too. Should note Colin Firth is also present in that movie. A pattern, perhaps?

LOL, yeah, the movie titanic. I was trying to get this girl to like me. For some reason it felt like the rich girl and the poor boy. We went to the theater 2 days in a row, and then 7 times after LOL. I got the girl. Ah to be a freshmen in college again. LOL

Oh yeah, a bunch of times. My friends and I went to see Episode II a couple of days in a row. Now I know it has some bad parts and all, but when it's porjected digitally, it looked awesome. And some of my friends wanted to see it on different days. I couldn't say no. Oh yeah, and I watched Gladiator 5 times in 5 days, a few Thanksgivings ago....I may have a problem...heh.

Im not sure if I saw them in back to back days, but I saw both Robin Hood and New Jack City each five times while they were in the theater. Needless to say, Im a big Ice-T fan and looking back on it, New Jack City isn't the best date movie.

-Star Wars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (I got to watch the rereleases of 4, 5, and 6), but it wasn't just 2 days in a row, I watched each of them at 3 shows a day for 2 days. Thats 6 times total in a weekend.
-Superman Returns, I plan on watching this several times in a row. -Casino Royale, I plan on watching this at every showing on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of it's release. I'm a big Bond fan. |

I hardly ever go to the theater to watch movies, and have only seen 3 movies twice at the theater, but I did see 40 Year-Old Virgin the day it came out with friends and then the next day with my brother and his friend. I still don't think any movie is worth paying $20+ to see just twice, but at least 40YOV was hilarious both times I saw it.

When I first saw Raiders of the Lost Ark, back when it first came out, my mom and I loved the film so much that when it was over we stayed in our seats and watched it again.
This film was the first one that I can remember seeing and then thinking, "I want to work in film." Years later in a high school film course we took Raiders apart shot by shot to see how they made it (we used that new fangled contraption the VCR to do it).
