Watching a film then realising you've seen it before

So I got to 1 hour 50 minutes if The Express and I realised ive seen it before..

Every now and then this happens....

So come on memory loss people, what were you watching when you realised this?

In my early 20's a mate and I used to go to the cinema most weeks to watch a film. This meant we had generally seen most of what came out. At the same time I had a girlfriend who one day announced she wanted to go and see Eagle Eye at the cinema. The name rang a bell and I mentioned to her that I think I'd seen the trailer for it. So off we went to the cinema, sat down, watched the trailers and then the movie started. I'm sitting there thinking "This looks familiar, I've definitely seen the trailer!" We got about five minutes in before I leaned over and whispered in her ear that I'd already seen it

Frequently. Both the wife and me will often be half way or more through a film before one of us realises we've seen it before. As we've not even remembered we've seen it we certainly haven't remembered how it ends so have to continue watching till the end.
