100% this.
My local theater does “Flashback Cinema” on Wednesdays & Sundays. My wife & I went to see Jaws. I know I’ve seen that movie a long time ago and probably on TV, but there was so much I didn’t remember that it was like watching it for the first time. The tickets were cheaper and it was definitely a fun experience. I’ve got to say, I see why that movie scared the crap out of people when it came out in the ’70s!
Blazing Saddles was also one of the flashback movies, and I took my stepson who had never seen it. I’ve seen it over a hundred times on VHS & DVD at least, but seeing it on the big screen was a completely new experience.
