You should say:

When did you see the movie?

With whom you saw this movie?

Why do you want to watch this movie again?

Sample Answer

I am not an avid movie viewer . To date, I have watched only a handful of movies. Today I will be describing my childhood favourite movie. I explicitly remember watching it with my elder sibling and getting horrified. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the names of the lead protagonist and the director, but I do recall the movie’s name, which is ‘Makdi’.People would not be interested in the movie because of its unusual name however the movie is completely different from what it sounds like, and it would keep viewers hooked to the screen the movie’s plot revolves around twins who fall victim to a witch spell. The movie is so intriguing that it would be hard for a viewer to predict its upcoming twists and turns. The reason to watch it again is to get nostalgic about the time that my brother and I spent together, and I would surely like to sense the excitement and liveliness that I had when I watched it for the very first time.
