Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Certainly you get more out of films than just fun.

I have no problem with you not wanting to see Cape Fear again. I feel the same way about any number of movies that I quite liked the first time I saw them. But some movies are worth repeat viewings simply because they are that good, even some disturbing movies. I suppose that is a fairly personal thing. For instance, I was blown away by Deliverence. It is a deeply disturbing movie. I can watch it over again any time. It just left such an impression on me that it is easy to revisit and re-experience. OTOH the first and only time my wife watched it, she turned to me afterwards and asked me why I let her see such a thing. It was way too disturbing for her even the first time. Different sensibilities I suppose. I don't think it is a blood lust or perverse facination with human suffering that allows for multiple viewings of movies that are so deeply disturbing. I think it is more about an exploration into the dark side of the human experience from the safty of our seats more than anything else.
