19. Rewatching? YUP! And some TV shows, too!

My favorites, and ultra favorites which I watch even more.
Often the whole thing, other times favorite scenes.
Story, characters, cinematography, music score, costumes, props, and sets: with ultra favourites scoring the highest in multiple categories.

With TV series I might do a total rewatch the first, and second time for story, characters, cinematography, music score (and song choices), then change to favourite episodes on further repeats.
If it's science fiction then costumes, props, and sets are also a factor.

A few filmed in NYC locations (my hometown) get rewatched for that as well.
