    Uh, I really liked that one back in the day.

    To be honest though, I'm having kind of a hard time deciding if watching/reading a film/book twice is a good or bad thing.
    For once, you'll always remember some parts, spoilering yourself - which is arguably bad. Then again, it can bring back memories of a time in your life, or memories of feelings you had at that time - which is (depending on the time of course) kind of awesome.

    Also - there's a large chance (depending on the time between your first and second time watching/reading) that you'll perceive the film/book from a whole new perspective, see things you overlooked last time, or misinterpreted - again changing your view on the film/book, the feelings you have about it and if you like it or not.

    To me, it's kind of like looking at old pictures of yours. At the time taken you might find them great or bad, but years later you might find them the total opposite. Or you're just happy that you took them, giving you a chance to remember.
    It makes one realize that we change, not only by appearance - but as a whole. Life, time changes us.

    In conclusion, I've always hated to start watching/reading something I knew already, but there's been numerous times I found myself glad I did so, and times I didn't.
    So yes, the hard part is always deciding if it's worth a second try - something one can only answer himself I believe.
