I have two 400-disc Sony DVD changers, Typically I'll page through the alphabetical title list and settle on something to watch on a given night, and that will lead me on to the next title.
I'll go on genre jags, as mentioned above, watching one noir film or screwball comedy after another, or seeing an actor in movie "A" will cause me to watch movie "B", which co-stars a different actor, so now it's on to movie "C". Or I'll decide to watch an episode of a TV series and just have to go back to the first episode and watch it all over again, in order. (Although I do sometimes skip episodes I really dislike. More often I'll fast-forward through "B" stories, or sometimes even "A" stories, that I think are boring or unpleasant or that I'm just tired of.) At the moment I've just started season 5 of CSI for the umpteenth time. For some reason this seems to be the show that stands up the best to repeat viewings for me. Maybe because the episodic nature of the show makes it less intense than an arc-driven series like Babylon 5. The nice thing about the changer is that you can go from disc to disc and even season to seaon so easily that even long rainy Saturday marathons are effortless.
Regards,
Joe
