I know not all people are like this but that's how I am. I can listen to the same song over & over again but I can only watch a movie like once. It just seems like after the first time I see a movie I never really want to see it again. Even if I own it I will only watch it once. Why is this? Does anybody else feel the same?

A song is short and you're only listening to it. A movie is much longer and you have to watch as well as listen. No one wants to sit around for an hour and a half watching something predictable.

For one thing - movies require a prodigiuos investment of time compared to a song and they also need full attention, some cerebration.
For another - in answer to your question - some movies aren't worth a first watching, let alone a repeat.
But some movies are so good they almost demand repeated watching. Personally, my all-time favorite flick is "Treasure Of The Sierra Madre", which I try to revisit once a year, each time getting some new insight without thinking I've wasted the time.
I wouldn't watch any movie repeatedly in a short time though and I can't think of a single song that I could stand to hear over and over and over. Once, stuck on an overnight work shift where three songs that I really liked played on the P.A. system ALL NIGHT LONG and the only thing that kept me from going absolutely bonkers was having the balls to quit the job.

Because music is shorter.
You know that it isn't going to last longer than 6 minutes for the most part.
To watch a movie again is usually 2 hours of something you've seen.

I can listen to a song over and over if I really like it.
I can also watch a movie multiple times if I really like it. Surprisingly, you always catch something you missed the first time when you rewatch.

No I'm kind of not like that. I love movies and I'll watch them over and over.

good question
I think if you already remember the story, the movie is boring.
songs are more like background familiar enjoyment
