Voted: Around 15% - I rarely rewatch movies.

But I only rewatch about 5% or less of the time. Although I rewatched tonight with Kiki's Delivery Service.

Tempted to vote 0% because my number one goal in life is to catch up with 1SO and Martin Teller.  But realistically, 15 percent is the better answer.

Chooses to rewatch Buckaroo Bonzai rather than to watch A Tree Grows in Brooklyn for the first time.

Chose the 0% option, even though it's probably 1-2%. Even a year or two back when I explicitly tried to do a lot of rewatches I doubt it was over 5%.

Your percentage choices are so hard to fathom to me. 20% is one out of every 5 movies, that's a lot more then rarely.

I voted around 30%. Being married, my wife likes to watch the DVDs we've already purchased (which is about 150-200 titles). So with her it's about 50% rewatches. On my own, I rewatch when I'm not able to focus on something new.

Around 15% can mean 20% but it can also mean 5% if you interpret the 0% option as being a hard never.  5 or 10% is little, regardless of the subject matter. Unless you're talking about GDP growth in developped countries. So the subject matter is important. But it is little in this case.

6%, though I'm trying to increase that number.
