I don't see the problem, if it is something you like, then why is it a waste to do it again? By that logic, wouldn't eating the same thing also be a waste?

If it's a film you love and enjoy, why not?

Life it to short to care what other people think. If i want to watch a movie or tv show more than once, i will do that. And also nobody is forcing you to watch a movie twice.

I think the validity of your statement depends on the type of movie, if its one that provokes an emotional response then sometimes it can be really cool to watch this years later when you're in a different place in your life and it might affect you differently. Watching some superhero movie a second time, meh pointless.

More power to you, but I doubt you're life is exactly hyper optimized in every other way. I expect you probably "waste" your time in some ways, because everyone does. Way I see it, if you enjoy the movie on rewatch, it isn't a waste.

The best movies are more enjoyable the second/third time you watch them.

I understand the constant rewatching of the same few movies over and over again as I watch a lot of movie and only maybe like 2% of them are rewatches since there's so much out there I want to see. However, really excellent movies usually require rewatches to get a full grasp on what the movie is trying to say. You'll have a movie like Stalker(1979) and it's so dense with meaning and philosophy that watching it once doesn't really scratch the surface. Then you'll have an average Marvel movie where one watch is good enough to get all the information. Those rewatches on "better" movies usually have you coming out with different or expanded upon ideas, you're probably not really getting the exact same experience the second time around even if the actual movie hasn't changed at all.

My mom can be like that sometimes too

I only recently began to feel somewhat like this in my 40s. When I was young, I would watch a movie I loved multiple times. I've even watched a movie 3x in a row when I was younger. As an older salty gentleman, I just don't have that kind of energy and enthusiasm anymore. We can make time for anything we enjoy in life though.

This rule certainly doesn't apply to The matrix, Aliens or Terminator,2.
