I am slightly embarrassed to say that yes, I watch movies over and over. All of them off of a shared hard drive using Kodi on an Apple TV to watch. I recently through away all my CDs, DVDs, and BluRay after carrying them from apartment to apartment for years (in notebooks) and never once opening them during those years. As for the embarrassment. I get from some POV it's a waste of time but I easily have a list of ~400 movies all of which I've watched 3-20 times each. Examples might be a movie like The Matrix I'm sure I've watch 10+ times. A movie like Harvey, 2 or 3.

Same here. Great movies (most of the imdb Top 250 easily qualifies) can be rewatched every couple of years IMO, unless you have unusually good memory.

  Or watch them after staying up way too late with a couple libations. I remember my opinions of the film but not the content.

  For me it depends, I'll usually go 8+ years before rewatching something.

what's your approach to using kodi on ATV? do you have a paid $99/year dev account?

  I had a Kodi box but now I just use Infuse on ATV to Jellyfin. I encode such that it doesn’t scream for payment.

I also watch movies multiple times! Typically it's several months or years apart, but sometimes it's more frequent. I remember the first night I saw Primer, right after it ended I started it all over again because I needed to understand. Unfortunately, the second watch did not provide as much clarity as I was hoping.

  I hated Primer, feels intellectually dishonest. It tries to present itself as story with consistent mechanics, then near the end gives up and it's like: this is time travel story, so we need to throw in some paradox.

I watch movies while doing other things (cleaning the house or certain design tasks at the computer) which makes it very easy to watch them again! I go through them quickly and will tend to go back to them after about a year. I recently watched all of the Mission Impossible movies over the course of a few days.
