One of my problems is that I only watch most movies once, so I barely remember them several years later. I saw Scarface about ten years ago on VHS. I remember sitting on the couch and watching it, but I don’t remember any details or even the overall plot.

The same goes for Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, etc. I’ve seen them so long ago that I hardly even remember what they were about, so it’s almost as if I haven’t seen them at all.

Of course, there are movies that I have watched repeatedly, like UHF, The Transformers: The Movie, Rush Hour, This Is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally…, Groundhog Day, What About Bob?, Legend of the Drunken Master, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, etc.

I agree that Rush Hour 2 was nowhere near as good as the original, but I’m looking forward to part three anyway. I’ve never left a theater partway through a movie, but I came close with the 1998 Jean-Claude Van Damme movie Knock Off, in which the Russians tried to take over the U.S. by manufacturing and exporting a line of exploding pants.

I would have liked to walk out during The English Patient, one of the most boring and pointless movies ever made, but I didn’t want to anger the person who dragged me to see it.

I’m rather envious of Rob because there are so many fantastic things he can still see for the first time. That first time is really special, although I don’t know if the experience is as good watching a movie on TV or anything other than a full blown movie theater.

Rush Hour two was only the second movie I ever walked out on in a theater. The first was some absurd Bill Murray comedy involving him and a parachuting elephant. God those were horrible.
