Why do people watch a movie multiple times?

Why do people watch a movie gazillion times? 
Really liked a movie and want to see it a couple more times? Sure. Want to enjoy it again with different sets of friends/family/relatives? Definitely. Feel like watching it again few more times after gaps of some years? Of course. 


But.. Watching HAHK 17 times? 
Madhumati 25 times? 
And, watching DDLJ a freaking FORTY ONE times? 

These are actual numbers shared by real people. Exasperated, I ask: "Pray tell me what changes? The script? The acting?" And they are like, "No! Nothing changes, but... You won't understand."


Perhaps. I don't understand that. But what I do understand is this: 3 hours x 40 times = 120 hours. 

Folks, you spent five day-nights of your life watching the same thing over and over... And, you're not gonna get those back again.
