The last movie I saw twice in theaters was Carol and I went twice because duh.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterCoco

Tangerine because I couldn't believe how good it was the first time and then I saw it a third time with a friend

The last movie I saw twice in theatres was Black Swan and I saw it twice because I had just moved to London, I had no job and Natalie Portman and I were psychologically unraveling alongside each other.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commenterchoog

Virus with Jamie Lee Curtis,once on my own then later that evening with my now late boyfriend.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commentermark

Zootopia b/c Nick and Holly would make wonderful friends and it seems like a nice place to visit.

Mad Max: Fury Road

I was so swept away by the bravura film-making and tight plotting I had to return to witness the cinematic purity again.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterBJT

I'm such a movie addict that it happens pretty often. (Portland is a very affordable cinema city) ((I saw Blue is the Warmest Colour four times, Carol six times)).

The last movie I saw twice was Tickled. I HAD to take my sister: We love screwed up true crime documentaries.

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and I went twice because I couldn't believe it was that damn good, and I had to make sure I wasn't blowing its greatness out of proportion. When we decry the lack of genre movies being recognized by the Academy in major categories, THIS should be example #1.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterSawyer

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was Birdman and I went twice because it's a stone-cold masterpiece, one of only two we've had this decade (ZD30 is the other).

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commenterbrookesboy

The last movie I went to see twice was Gone Girl because I adored that reveal scene where Rosamund Pike/Amy explains what she's been up to. I also thought the sex scene was one of the most thrillingly edited, paced, scored sequences I saw that year, that I had to see it again. I recognize it's not a great film, and Pike's performance, an actress I adore, wasn't worth the hype, but dammit, was it a good time to be had at the movies.

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was The Conjuring 2 and I went twice because the second time was a dae ;-)

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commenterchatan

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising and I went twice because Rose Byrne is who we all inspire to be in life.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterEoin Daly

Selma bc I had to bring a friend who is reluctant to go to the movies. I knew she would love it so I forced her to go after I had seen it.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterBrezz

Wow, that's really dating me. The last movie I saw twice in the movie theater was "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" because I thought it was one of the best love stories I'd ever seen (and still have ever seen). The idea that they would go to such great lengths to forget each other and then, when given solid evidence that they didn't work together, would still decide to try anyway just always makes me fee hopeful.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterTommy Marx

Star Wars: The Force Awakens because my brother-in-law invited me to see it a second time as he had never seen the new film.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterSteven

Steve Jobs (four times, actually), because it was my favourite film last year and I couldn't get enough of it.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterAnna

The Descendants because there was a hot boy willing who wanted to go so I went the second time. Can you blame me?

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Spectre, because I see every new James Bond film at least twice in cinemas!

brookesboy: I'm afraid I saw Birdman twice (the second time on DVD) and it left me pretty much stone cold both times. I just don't get the praise for that movie. "Smells like balls" indeed.

I'll get my coat...

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterEdward L.

Blue is the Warmest Color, because I live for three-hour dramas about messy people

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commentercal roth

That means I am gonna see Toni Erdmann again ascsoon as possible!

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commentercal roth

I'm with Coco: I couldn't stand not seeing Carol on a big screen a second time.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commenterjake d

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was The Artist and I went twice because it was easy (in every way).

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterPaul Outlaw

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was Carol and I went twice because duh.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterJames T

Ugh, I just saw that Coco spoke the truth before me, though I am not that surprised.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterJames T

"the witch", because I took my father to see it the second time.

before that it was "carol", because... well, THAT MOVIE, and also took people to see it (and watched a third time in the theaters by myself).

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commentermarcelo

The last movie I saw twice in the movie theatre was Florence Foster Jenkins because Meryl!

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commenterjamie

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was Mad Max: Fury Road and I went twice because you sometimes have to go first by yourself, write a glowing review, force your friend to read said review who is on the fence, sit them down when they fail to answer a simple question about your review because they didn't actually read it, watch the light bulb go off in their head that yes it is that good, and then drive them to the movie theater to further convert non-believers.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterRobert G

The last movie I saw twice in a theatre was Amour and I went twice because the first time I saw it I was overwhelmed.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commenterstjeans

1. 12 Years a Slave

2. Because I got sick the first time and fainted part way through.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterArkaan

The Dark Night Rises, because it and Bourne Legacy were playing together at the drive-in.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterChris

The last movie I saw twice(three times actually) in theaters was mad Max: Fury Road and I went thrice because IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING. So weird and fresh and vital each and every time, my appreciation for its rich world and the complete confidence of its top to bottom craftsmanship increases with each viewing.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterJeremy

The last movie I saw in theaters twice was Captain America: Civil War and I went twice because it was some of the most fun I've had at the movies all year.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterMatt St.Clair

Geez I hate to say, since until now I hadn't realized it had been so long.

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was Latter Days in 2003 and I went twice because I loved it so and took a group of friends to see it.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commenterjoel6

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was "Sicario," and I went twice because I couldn't get enough of Emily Blunt.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterBVR

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was Carol and I went twice because Carol.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterEz

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was Avengers Age of Ultron and I went twice because I still have to learn how to say no.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterEll

The last movie I saw twice in the movie theather was Enemies because I thought I was befriending Jake more and more.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commentersergio

I had to comb through my letterboxd activity to get the answer to this since I don't do it often...

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was CINDERELLA and I went twice because my roommate really wanted to see it and I had liked it a lot when I saw it without her on opening weekend.

The movie before that I saw twice in theaters was THE AVENGERS because JOSS WHEDON.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterRyan T.

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and I went twice because I needed to watch the Galadriel VS Sauron encounter on a big screen at least one more time.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterYavor

"The Force Awakens". Because I saw it once with my nerds, then once with my Dad. No regrets.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterGabe

Ell -- LOVE IT. haha. i have the same problem. that was me with The Witch earlier this year. 'i've already seen that 3 times but you really want to see it? okay.'

August 30, 2016 | Registered CommenterNATHANIEL R

The last movie I saw twice in theatres was Inception because I was drowsy the first time and felt I had missed out on something. Seeing it a second time to clarify the blank spots was definitely worth it.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterMDA

I really had to think about this one, but the last movie I saw twice in theaters was Birdman, because since I had just moved to NYC I got to see it before all my theater friends back home in CT and I knew they would love it just as much as I did, so I went with them. And I thought it held up really well on a second viewing.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commenterdenny

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings and I went twice because it came out slightly before the theatrical window became a total joke and everything started coming out on DVD three months after theaters.

Kind of surprised that so many people here have done second viewings so recently. With so many movies and so little time it always seemed like a luxury I couldn't afford.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterMJS

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was 'Hell or High Water' and I went twice because it was surprisingly fantastic and wanted to write about it.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterSquasher88

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was HOJE EU QUERO VOLTAR SOZINHO (The Way He Looks) and I went twice because I fell in love with an amazing movie with a lovely message.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered Commenterlawyer tony fernando

lawyer tony fernando - Have you see the short film the film is based on? I may love it more than the longer film (which is indeed very good still).

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterRyan T.

I don't see movies in theaters all that often, so I think the last movie I saw twice in theaters was Titanic, because I was 11 and obsessed. It felt very grown up.

I think the second time I even crashed my parents' date night because I wanted to see it again so badly. It may be the nostalgia talking, but I think it holds up fairly well.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterHans

I don't think I've seen anything twice in theaters since "GO" in 1999 - back then I was actually a projectionist and could take friends for free when "off duty". "GO" is also the only movie I've ever seen three times in theaters.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterDrG

The last movie I saw twice in theaters was "Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire" because I have issues.
