27 Not so fast, Louie... Hey, this works out to be less than once a year for many of them. And something like 'Crouching Tiger' I watch with English subtitles, then later, with the Director's dialog, and then even later with the English dubbing (along with English subtitles for some interesting comparisons). Blade Runner is just an amazing 'other-worldly' film -- I find something new in it with every viewing. I'm fascinated by the overwhelming complexity of the creative processes involved with the making of these films; how did they ever get made? (They make my work seem extraordinarily mundane by comparison.) Oh, and I've watched many of these over and over with different sets of friends or with each of my three sons perhaps at different times (you know, the Cultural Literacy thing...). 8-) --fl@thatsawrap.com

Hi Condor; Re: "I scored very low and I would not knowingly read a book or watch a movie that I had seen before." I say the same thing, but with further thought, I've realized that I've read the Bible several times, Atlas Shrugged twice (second time skim read only), and the Tolkien series (but only twice). The thing with reading is that I can keep music or something playing in the background. With a movie, I don't see how it's possible to watch twice. I guess I could read while the movie is running, but what's the point? -- Carl
