I have no desire to watch either of these movies a second time.<br><br>
With The Perfect Storm, I couldn't have cared less about those people (well, the characters).<br><br>
With Apocalypse Now, I think it was an issue of "the hype", and, the movie hasn't held up. I did watch it until a few years ago, and, except for Robert Duvall, I think the movie was pretty darn average.

That's weird, because I thought of perfect storm right away also...probably because it was recently on and as I was flipping through I said" I liked it the first time, but I couldn't watch it a second"<br><br><br>
We watched Shawshank redemption...I have no idea why I've watched it so many times...I think I like Morgan freeman's voice.<br><br><br><br>
Then there's the opposite. I couldn't get through "the color purple" the first time. I have watched it a few times since. I look forward to certain parts, in fact. "Harpo!!!!"

<p>I can probably watch The Shawshank Redemption about once a week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots of old movies that were reliant on special effects, aren't so special any more.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots of 80's cheese too, like The Last Starfighter or Iron Eagle stuff like that.</p>

Shawshank...every time I see it I'm amazed at how good a movie it is. Or, at least, how good *I* think it is.<br><br>
yeah, I know, that's the opposite of the thread.<br><br>
Thing is, if I watch a movie a second time and don't like it, I probably would never watch it again. Only exception (which doesn't apply anymore), kids movies. They're tool old for that continuous, watching over and over thing.<br><br>
Ok, I thought of one, Disney's "The Fox and the Hound". Sort of liked it the first time. The next 200 times I watched it, I realized how much of a piece of crap it was.

Perfect Storm - I won't watch it. I remember that day and when the news hit that that boat was gone - not entertainment.</p>

<p>I'm sure I'll get banned for this: but ANY Christmas movie, particularly "A Christmas Story" or "It's a Wonderful Life"</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I loved LOTR. And I'm not into that genre of literature or movie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was a family tradition to have our holiday meal and then go watch an LOTR at the theater.</p>

<p>Except for The Simpsons Movie, and Team America; World Police, I haven't seen a decent animated movie since I was about ten. And the Simpsons one was disappointing (the series has been disappointing since about season 6 or 7).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have ZERO desire to see any of the Stan Lee/Marvel comics stuff. None.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I'll get hated for this one - any and all of the Shrek movies. </p>

<p>I don't think I've got the first two locales right, or the titles, but the third is poifect.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The boys are in Scotland, and are inheriting titles. The old man looks at them and says: "You (Moe) shall be be Lord of Larkinshire. You (Larry) will be Earl of Dundee. And (looking at Curly) you are Baron of Graymatter."</p>
