Those are impulses you shouldn't resist. I tend to do that too, to think that someone just hasn't given something a chance and if they did they would LOVE it. But doesn't it, sometimes, turn out that way? Then I am so proud of myself for turning someone on to something really cool.

I ordered Dexter: your urging of the show made me remember I was sad not to have all the movie channels and their great series anymore, and I trust your judgment.

Obsession, and the fact that I always notice something I hadn't noticed before, with each re-watching. That is true of many great movies, for me. The "Oh, I've seen this before" doesn't register with me. If I like it, I want to see it again. And again...
