What does it mean when you watch something over and over again?
The scientific term for this is “mere exposure effect,” meaning that we like something more merely because we’ve been previously exposed to it. So there is evidence not only that we replay songs that we like, but also that—up to a certain point! —we like songs the more often that we play them.
Have you seen the movie or have you watched the movie?
Both are grammatically correct and both are suitable formats for the question. There is NO difference in meaning between the two words in this particular context; ‘watched’ does NOT connote that you paid more attention to the movie than ‘seen’ does.
Do we “watch” or “see” movies?
We “watch” movies and we “see” movies all the time. While both words are technically correct, you will more commonly hear and read “seen” in this context. To “see” a movie is the most common way of referring to viewing the entire film. You are most likely to hear or read “watch” if there is a time length involved.
Why do we say “for the first time” in movies?
I say “for the first time” because, unless you are watching very closely, you are going to immediately want to see the film a second time to catch what you missed the first time around! There is also an odd quirk of usage that I cannot explain, but it is true.
What are the most viewed movies of all time?

Is “watched” grammatically correct in this sentence?
