I've been known to watch reruns of Law & Order a few times, as well.

I don't tend to watch movies over and over again so much, just because they are so time-consuming.

I'm not even a big fan of that genre. Something really entertaining in the way they do it though.

My husband would be content to watch old Andy Griffith, Star Trek, Rockford Files, etc for the rest of his life. My sister relaxes watching old Perry Mason shows. My friends own countless formats of movies and tv series.
I also rarely binge listen to music, but when I do I gravitate to stuff I listened to in high school/college.

see it on when I flip through my limited stations.

I have watched Golden Girls so much I can repeat much of the dialog before they voice it.

The ones that I sadly no longer enjoy watching though I once really enjoyed: Roseanne, Cosby


movies: the usual, though I have to usually wait a few years before watching again: Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind (yeah, I know, I know, but it still has much cinematically to offer), Last of the Mohicans (love the music and its pace is so quick, it seems over before I know it), obviously some of the Christmas movies (Christmas Story, Charlie Brown Christmas, Its a Wonderful Life), etc. A lot of the old John Ford Westerns, but only because the vistas are so beautiful to watch...Just about any movie with a John Barry film score (love his music).

watched every episode in it's original run, and its on constant replay on Netflix. plus we (my family) have all the CD's. over and over, i think we know some of the episodes so well, we can turn the sound off and say the dialog right along.

Alien, the first of the series, is great but too predictable because once you've seen it, you know where the scary parts are. But with Aliens, it doesn't matter. It's more of a war movie, and with a brave & intelligent woman at the center of the action.
