Once is usually enough for me, but there are exceptions. “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” “Jeremiah Johnson,” “Shawshank Redemption,” “Forrest Gump” or “Smokey and the Bandit” are a few that I do not mind seeing over and over. My wife said I should include “The Notebook” and “Pretty Woman” to balance things out for the ladies in the audience. Both are good movies but I only watch them again if the wife holds the remote control (which is normally the case).
