Despite all the channels and box sets, not to mention Netflix and the like there are times when I can't decide on something to flop on the sofa with and get involved. There really is some good stuff around these days too so I'm not knocking the state of TV etc.
I watch very few movies or TV series more than once - I don't see the point as a rule, except for the following ..er...exceptions:
The West Wing (twice, right the way through)
Band of Brothers ( three times all the way through)
The Wire (just started from the beginning for the second time)
All brilliant drama - and I think the only entertainment/film/series I have not found boring revisiting.
Forum thread time - over to anyone else?
Stuff worth watching more than once?

Re: Stuff worth watching more than once?
Agreed on Band of Brothers and The Wire, watched them both twice. I would add:
Six Feet Under
The Sopranos
Rome
And on the comedy end:
Black Books
The Young Ones
Bottom
Red Dwarf
Ones that I have finished, but plan on watching again:
Breaking Bad
Parks and Recreation
Mad Men

Virtually nothing, but then there is little I want to watch even once...
Re-reading books, though, is another matter...

Monty Python episodes I can watch forever and ever 
Also worth watching multiple times IMO are Blackadder and League of Gentlemen

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: Stuff worth watching more than once?
I've done West Wing and (part of) House twice. I'll do Breaking Bad again one day. I guess I've probably seen Fawlty Towers 3 or 4 times.Rum wrote:Despite all the channels and box sets, not to mention Netflix and the like there are times when I can't decide on something to flop on the sofa with and get involved.

I'll add to my "to watch again" list: First season of True Detective, and Fargo (the tv series).
