I considered downloading that 007 spectre on amazon prime the other day thinking I could rent it for around a fiver which is the general sort of setup on there.
It seems you cant rent it you have to buy it.
Now I know its quite new, but there are newer ones that you can rent for a fiver so to me its just bread dipping again.
Amazon offers a purchased DVD for around a tenner or a download for 9.99.
The download is just a digital copy that you would only be able to watch while your an amazon prime subscriber I would have thought, similar to sky recordings that you have paid subscriptions for but you cant then access after you stop paying sunscriptions.
The hardcopy obviously takes a few days to arrive by post.
Id have thought if you are a prime subscriber and buy the download the least you should expect is a hardcopy following in the post.
So I thought am I really going to watch this film again?
And the answer was no, I very rarely ever watch a film twice so purchases are rank bad value rip offs.
So get fooked james bond Ill wait till its on the BBC in about 10 years.
Rented Hail Caesar instead and was a good film for a fiver.

I've watched The Life Of Brian, The Big Lebowski, Scarface, Oh Brother Where Art Thou to name but 4 at least a dozen times each.
I couldn't watch any film more than once apart from Zulu, The Godfather, and Goodfellas and even then they were years apart.
Might remember a few others but certainly not the norm.

A Man for All Seasons. Watched that a few times, in fact quite a few times. 
BBC never shows Bond films - well once on BBC4 - a bond night special.
Sometimes they show casino royale with David Niven- Not sure you could call that a proper bond film.
ITV has the BOND franchise.
Your local library has all the latest releases for £2.(for a week).
why pay £5 or £10.
I watch a lot of films again. Got a list of fifty that I keep seeing.
jaws - whenever this is one, if I see one minute, I have to watch it.

Watching a good film again is much more enjoyable than watching most of the crap served up on tv.
Alot of people i'd say. Film making as an art is dying. Less and less good films are been made. It's all blockbusters and disney. The only time you see good films is from sept onwards to win the oscar. However is getting less and less each year that's why good films will always be re-watched. I'd say Goodfellas is probably the most re-watched film.
I've never watched any of the Godfather films, Star wars films, Harry Potter films or the Hobbit.
There's lots of stuff I've never watched or care to watch.

The vast majority I don't even watch once.
Watched A fish called Wanda and The life of Brian twice.
There was a time when The Guns of Navarone was on TV every Christmas and you just couldn't avoid it.

I have watched films more than once but only to kill time really.
I certainly dont have hard copies of films that I put on the tv at home that I re-watch I just do not get the point of it.
Ill rent a film, happy to pay to but once Ive seen it Ive seen it and its dead for all money.
A mate of mine used to have a small selection of videos and he'd re watch them over and over.
I just thought he was a bit slow and was trying to work out the plot.
The library rents out new films for £2 for a week??????
Why arnt they advertising this fact ffs?
The government is in the process of shutting down libraries....if they got their finger out they'd do good business and probably finance the places.
But no, I probably already know the answer....there will likely be disclaimers by rights holders that wont allow the advertising of such services, enterprise given free reign to fleece the public again and good initiatives like libraries can go whistle.

Not a big film fan in general, but a few that I never tire of... Sexy Beast, Withnail and I and Billy Liar
I watch plenty of films more than once. Why would you watch something as good as North By Northwest or Gladiator or Seven and not want to watch it again?
Plenty of others that if I am flicking around the channels and I catch a second of it I have to stick with it, eg. The Italian Job, The Graduate, The Truman Show.

An extremely underrated comedic performance from Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda. I'd have given him the Oscar.
I'd have also given him a bullet for marrying Phoebe Cates...

films are never as good the second time around.
you'll never get that same good feeling as the first time you did something.
your first e, your first w^nk, your first shag, it doesn't get better.

Don't watch many films, very rarely watch any again, tho
My favourite film was one flew overt cuckoos nest and I've watched it several times.
That was until I saw the secret world of Walter Mitty, love this film, makes me so emotional, seen it several times, great story, soundtrack and scenery.

Would you look at the Mona Lisa only once? Of course you wouldn't, you'd go back for more if you could. And so it is with films like Glengarry Glen Ross, Senna, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List etc. - all equally as enjoyable second time round.
I don't buy films but can watch some several times just depends on the time between viewing
Recently I've watched Prometheus a few times. I was a bit disappointed at first but it is potentially a very good film and an opportunity missed . So now when I watch it I give a running commentary about what should be changed.
I've offered my services to Ridley Scot for the next one but not heard back from him yet.

Im beginning to think this thread should have been about the films people had viewed most often.
The list of these films telling you about the sort of person they possibly are.
In fact I wouldnt be surprised if that is exactly what is going on covertly right now and with Teresa snoopers charter May will probably be watching you watch them and making lists as to who she wants tracking.

Watch plenty of films more than once, some you just have to because you miss so much the first time eg This is spinal tap. I watched One flew over the cuckoos nest again after I'd read that Jack Nicholson doesn't say a single word in the last 20 minutes of the film.
...and what did you do when you saw/ heard that he did/didnt?
Go 'hmmm, well well'?
There a quite a few films that perhaps need to be watched a number of times nowadays as they get dafter and dafter. You have to keep pausing them to get the paradox of the story and the numerous twists in the plots they seem to add like adding sugar to cups of tea.
But I dont, if I missed it first time then so what....has anyone seen how many films are around?

No, Mac, but I'm going to get a copy. Am watching The Vikings tv drama at the moment...just finished episode 1.
The Problem I find with watching films again, is that I then have to leave then a year to watch them Again 
Credit to OP ,its an odd thing but we all do it .Im not a film fan but some just hit a nerve with you.

McVicar was a good film and one can watch it again and again purely for the terrific soundtrack. Roger Daltrey was good. I like the song FREE ME the best
I went to see Born free 5 days in a Row at the Pics Ben Hur and Diamonds are Forever the Same
Ben Hur and Diamonds are Forever the Same
By coincidence, Ive just arranged about a 1000 DVDS into three piles. The wife and I were saying we have got way too many, pile one are mine, Tarantino, Coen brothers, Kung fu films, Art house stuff, gigs, old horrors, Complete Russ Meyer films, gangster films, Kes and other British classics. Pile two are shared fims, Rockys, Rambos, Terminators, Die Hards and other decentish films. Batman and most of the Marvel/DC superhero bollock$ aswell, plus modern classics. From the mid 80s onwards. I recokon the split to be around 25%/40%?35%
I reckon dvds will be defunct within the next five years.
Some of the box sets might be worth a few quid but individual films one can get for coppers, unless they are very rare copies. You`ll easy get £50 for the Russ Meyer Collection on Amazon if that`s what you have.
people who watch films religiously until they can recite the whole script word for word are on the wrong end of the autism spectrum imo..
come on your missing Summer Holiday on Film4, good old Cliff.
Only ever watched a film twice by mistake. Never saying never though.
Maybe that is why I don't understand people having loads of DVDs.
I always prefer new stuff.
Same with music. Always interested in new music.
