Actually, I have seen something three times: it was a short called The Adjustable Cosmos, which screened ahead of two films I saw at last year's Sydney Film Festival. I then saw it again in a collection of animated shorts for the Fantastic Planet film festival. It's a funny film that kept the laughs through multiple viewings and I became quite fond of it.
Some films I've see twice at the cinema:
- American Pie: The first time it'd screened as a 'mystery film', the second time I went with friends who'd missed out. Should I be admitting this?
- American Beauty: I was a bit WTF? the first time so I thought I'd see it in a break between uni classes back when cheap Tuesday tickets were actually cheap.
- The Dark Knight and Sherlock Holmes: These films screened after Clash of the Titans at a movie marathon. Although my movie friend and I had already seen both of them, we'd decided they were good enough to see again, particularly on the big screen. Just as well, because Clash of the Titans was shithouse, so we needed two decent movies to wash our eyes out.
- Inception: Saw this with my movie friend, a much anticipated film. Then it featured as part of my first date with my current boyfriend because I recommended it and I wanted to see if I could pick up anything further upon second viewing.
- Boy: Saw this at last year's Sydney Film Festival and *loved* it. I later went to see my sister in Canberra and she doesn't often get time to see movies (despite being a Dendy Club member) so I recommended it. There are so few cinema complexes in Canberra, and so few screens in each complex, that this ended up being the only decent thing showing. Just as well it was a top film. The most interesting thing about it is the first time I saw it I remember laughing so hard I cried. The second time I saw it, I cried so much I had to laugh.
I'm a fan of going to the cinema for the big screen experience. My tiny townhouse will not fit a big screen and sound system (well, the wall will fit a big screen but I just don't have the space to have my couch as far back as it needs to be, a la Roy's place in The IT Crowd episode 'Moss and the German'). A film's run also forces me to watch it in a set time, which is more than I can say for my DVD queue at Quickflix.
I will try and see a film at the cinema more than once if I think it warrants the big screen experience but in general, with movie ticket prices being what they are, I like to see something new each time.
