There are very few movies I have intentionally watched twice. This is one of them. It’s a GREAT movie!

Incidentally, as someone who also saw the movie in the theater and can make a comparison, did the pace of the movie seem different on TV? Did it seem like ABC sped things so the movie would fit into its time slot?

It’s a 2 hr 15 min movie. I don’t remember how long it ran yesterday, but it was more than 2 hrs.
